Combined Strength Training Lab

Fantastic experience: An excellent gym/ training space. Andy is without doubt one of the best coaches I’ve come across and had the pleasure to work with and learn from. Would highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: I have been a part of this training for many years now I can’t recommend enough. The attention to detail you receive as well as the care to be your best is unmatched. If you want to be pushed like no where else as well us the knowledge whilst you go there is no where quite like this place and like Andy!

Fantastic experience: Andy is a world class coach and ahead of the curve. Good fun as well!!

Fantastic experience: World class training facility with a coach to match.

Fantastic experience: Been coached by Andy for over 4 years and in all that time I’ve been continually challenged and never bored. He introduces new equipment and exercises regularly and his tips in the videos will improve an exercise you thought you’d mastered years ago. Attention is always paid to the little details that keep you healthy and moving better as time goes by. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely quality place!! It’s got everything you need, along with the small bits of equipment you thought you didn’t need, but do! I trained and have been on coaching workshops with Andy and many other top coaches and honestly his knowledge is next level! Always wanting to improve and improve the coaches experience at the training lab no matter how many times they have been down there. 100% can’t recommend this place and Andy enough!

Fantastic experience: Over the past 10 years you have been the go to place - since pre no weak links 100DTS the start. Andy has always been on hand to help and guide me and I have had some great experiences and progress Illness and injury has been my problem especially in the last few years and I have taken what from what Andy has given me - the things I can still do to continue my journey. Highly recommended. Never made the gym but having had a day in Louth with Andy the knowledge he has is priceless Thanks

Fantastic experience: Andy is an excellent coach. His programs are rigorous, his attitude is iron-clad. He lives and breathes his work, his philosophy and his training. If you want results and great value, look no further.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic training space with a fantastic coach behind it. I've spent many weekends at the lab learning my craft as a coach under one of the most professional trainers in the industry. Whether you are looking for mentoring or coaching, ensure you get in contact with Andy.

Fantastic experience: Andy is a top class coach. Knows his stuff with a deep understanding of movement and how to build.a program. Has excellent communication where he gets to know your strengths & weaknesses and gives you the right path to improve.

Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn't rate Andy highly enough. I followed him on social media for a couple years before signing up. I knew from following him that the programming wouldn't be a generic plan and I wasn't disappointed. You get out of the training what you put in and the more feedback you give the more guidance you'll receive. Been with Andy for 3 years now and don't intend on stopping any time soon

Fantastic experience: I have spent many great weekends training and learning with Andy at the lab. His support, training knowledge and attention to detail has been key to me staying injury free through my 30s and into my 40s. I look forward to getting back to the lab soon.

Fantastic experience: Andy is a fantastic coach with a top class facility, I’ve trained with Andy for a number of years on and off and I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else because I’m constantly challenged and progressing with Andy’s help.

Fantastic experience: Worked remotely with Andy for a number of years. Top quality service from him at all times. Goes the extra mile and easily accessible. Always felt accountable for my actions with him and goes above and beyond with a bit of humor thrown in. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: There are very few places that are truly unique spaces. Very few of these spaces have a true purpose. The Training Lab and Andy McKenzie are one of the truly original and purposeful spaces. I have been lucky to attend training days and seminars here. The gym space is one of a kind. It's an environment where coach and clients create new ways to move. To improve strength, balance, stamina, endurance and team work. The Lab is exactly that. It's a place that is as welcoming as functional. Come for the education, stay for the knowledge, move because you have to. I would absolutely accept an invite again.

Fantastic experience: I was coached and mentored by Andy for 5 years and can honestly say the experience has been transformational, both in a physical and mental sense. I would quite simply not be where I am today without his help and guidance. I have worked with and alongside many people in the industry and Andy is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of knowledge, professionalism and integrity. Having travelled to the training lab many times over that period I always learnt something new, came away with fresh ideas and was in awe of the world class facility he has created. I can't recommend him enough and regardless of why you are visiting, I can guarantee you will not leave feeling disappointed. He is world class and I will continue to visit to learn from him.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Andy now for 3 years now. The fact that I have stayed with him for so long speaks volumes about the man and his knowledge and experience. Started off with "100 days to Strong" and since then have went through a number of his programs which are always challenging, progressive and he is more than willing to adapt if needed. Even when my training has went off in tangents (undertaking Ironman events) Andy adapted and changed my training to suit, work alongside and compliment whatever it is I am working at. Also he is always on hand to answer and questions and queries you might have. Would 100% recommend working with Andy, without a doubt one of the best decisions I have made.

Fantastic experience: I have experience of 5-years of Andy and Combined Strength as a Coach for workshops (which I strongly recommend!), customer, and a coach of others. Andy has a wealth of varied experience and knowledge and shares some real gems of advice and unique content - Andy's manner in coaching, thought process, and programming of others, reminds me of the Bruce Lee quote "Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.". Most-importantly, for me, Andy is an honest and straightforward man of good character.

Fantastic experience: Training with Andy has been highly beneficial to me in a number of ways. Firstly, it has helped me recover from injuries and continue to gain strength and condidtioning. Secondly, as a trainer and gym owner, I spend the majority of my time programming for others. With my sessions there from Andy, it allows me to get on with looking after my clients and helps me manage my time better. Not only great in the training side, but again, as a coach, I am learning. This allows me to pass this knowledge on. Recommended for those who are just starting off, and to those who have been training for years.

Fantastic experience: I came to Andy over 4 years ago for online programming as wanted to be able to train pain free and pursue my sporting interests, due to shoulder issues and previous hip surgery I was limited in what i could do and kept getting little niggles. Andy really knows his stuff and was able to strip back my training and build me up gradually, over the years he has given great advice and clearly cares about his clients. I have visited the lab gym and if lived closer would be down regularly.

Fantastic experience: I can say, without hesitation, that Andy’s coaching and mentorship is the best value on the internet. His experience is second to none-from military re-hab to professional sport performance. His depth of knowledge is incredible and intertwines concepts from around the world, is practically applied and based on sound research. The programming is brilliant and I have built a more capable, resilient and athletic body. The way I look and feel is a byproduct of improved movement, mobility, strength, speed and power. Most importantly, Andy help guide and mentor me out of a challenging depressive state and has helped me formulate a stronger, more present mind and perspective that has positively influenced my life, relationships, work output and overall happiness. Andy’s coaching and mentorship is truly holistic and has impacted my life in a magnitude of meaningful ways.

Fantastic experience: Having worked remotely with Andy for a number of years in his No Weak Links programme I would put him in the top percentile of coaches. Andy is someone I found to be a lifelong student of physical movement and this shows in his coaching and programming, which was highly educational, challenging and allowed me to progress greatly over the years, both physically and mentally. In an industry overrun with coaches who try to get an aesthetic transformation to sell programmes, I found Andys client centred approach refreshing, he always knew when to tel you to take the foot off the gas when required and some of the most important work I done with him involved his reset/rebuild programme. I would highly recommend working with Andy and the group.

Fantastic experience: I first started training under Andy after signing up to his ‘100 days to strong programme’ after stumbling across his online content on social media I soon learned that I had found much more than your usual online PT, but a world class coach. His programmes are second to none, with quality instructional videos available via the TrueCoach app, 1-2-1 feedback available throughout, and quality support/interaction with like minded individuals in the Facebook group. A 100 days programme has now turned into over 4 years of continuous coaching. Andy has encouraged more than physical growth with his No Weak Links ethos raising standards both in and out of the gym. Put simply - If you want to achieve new standards then get in touch with Andy, you will not regret it

Fantastic experience: Andy changed the game for me. His level of applied knowledge, diligence, personal and professional standards is one of the beacons of what the fitness industry could and should be. The Lab is the physical manifestation of decades of in depth theoretical and applied knowledge and wide experience designed to deliver real results to real people at any level. Training and learning from Andy in the Lab is a privilege. You’d be lucky to have that opportunity.

Fantastic experience: If you know about this place then you know about Andy. Not much needs to be said. Knowledge applied, dicipline and professionalism. Whatever your goal, Andy has been in the game long enough to help you. If you get the chance and are willing to learn and work. Get down there.
