Squats Gym

Fantastic experience: Old school gym with the soul ! Super friendly love it.

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend 10/10 excellent gym ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Great friendly local gym with all the equipment you need for strength training. After years of being miserable training at big commercial gyms, I am so glad I finally found squats.

Fantastic experience: I have started training with Andy (boxing) and it’s been amazing. Learning so much from him. From correctly my bad habits to understanding what needs to be done to improve my techniques Would highly recommend Andy! You won’t leave a lesson without feeling drained but great No pain no gain Rasa the manager is super welcoming too. Lovely family gym.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Squats Gym for a couple of years now and have found it to be hands down one of the best gyms I've ever used. All the equipment is top notch and all staff and other gym-goers are very friendly, giving the gym a real community feel. Although I've been training independently for a while, I felt I would benefit from some coaching and recently signed up for PT sessions with Steve Cole. Steve quickly identified areas where I could improve my technique and after only one session had me performing exercises much more effectively and, most importantly, safely than I was before. Whether you are an experienced lifter or looking to get into strength training I would strongly recommend Squats Gym. Message to owners: Keep doing what you're doing! :)

Fantastic experience: Super friendly gym, owner is lovely, I've only started strength training recently so been having PT sessions with Steve who I would deffo recommend. Lovely bunch of people, staff and clients alike.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to get in shape..friendly and very welcoming people!!!

Fantastic experience: Steve’s PT at Squats is fantastic. He really focuses on your form to ensure you make the best of each session. My partner and I are really enjoying our PT sessions here.

Fantastic experience: Steve has been training my wife and me for the last 2 months after we have both had a long time out of the gym, and we couldn't have dreamed of the progress we have made. Steve breaks down the technique of all the lifts and makes sure everything is done correctly before progressing whilst pushing us beyond what we though we could achieve. Rasa, Steve and everyone at Squats Gym is extremely friendly and welcoming and we have rediscovered our love of lifting, and we're looking forward to continuing our training with Steve.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Squats for about 2 years now, and couldn't speak highly enough of it. Brilliant equipment, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere. They've also recently acquired the best kettlebell collection I've seen... awesome.

Fantastic experience: Such a great community at Squats Gym. I also had training with Steve to learn fundamentals. He is definitely an expert in weight lifting, taking you through all the lifts with clear instruction and good form. It is a privilege to train at Squats!

Fantastic experience: Been a member at squats now for over a year and can safely say it's been my favourite place to train that i've found over the last 15 years of training. All the people are welcoming, knowledgeable and good fun to be around and train with, especially Steve who has helped me achieve many of my strength and personal goals through his guidance. Experienced and looking to find others of the same level or a complete novice looking to learn and advance quickly - I would recommend Squats. Rory

Fantastic experience: Steve is a fantastic personal trainer with decades of experience and knowledge. He has shown me different variations of the main compound lifts and he looks at it more holistically than other trainers out there. I have also seen the rehabilitation work he has done with his other clients who come to him with back issues and other health conditions and how he has transformed their lives and made them stronger than ever. 10/10

Fantastic experience: No nonsense old school gym! Nothing more you can ask for! Love this Gym, Great staff, and a phenomenal PT in Steve Cole! Have been training with Steve for 13 months now and honestly cannot believe the progress I’ve made in that time. Steve really brings his 40plus years of experience to every session. Breaks everything down to ensure you get every lift right. I can’t thank him enough. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made with him but looking forward to the journey ahead!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Squats Gym since December 2022. It's a friendly, familial environment where everyone encourages each other to be the best version of themselves. If you're looking for a gym with a little more heart and soul than a Pure Gym or equivalent, than look no further. Since April of this year, I've been under the guidance of Steve during one-to-one PT sessions. Steve is an absolutely fantastic coach and his attention to detail is second-to-none. He has a scrupulous eye for correct form, which in my view is the best way to avoid injury and build strength. I feel so much more comfortable lifting weights than I ever have in the past, and since training with Steve little niggles I was getting have virtually disappeared. I'd highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for high quality strength training tailored to your needs, whether you're a complete beginner or have strength training experience.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! Got all the equipment you need but more importantly great people. I had Steve as a PT for my first few weeks, to teach me the fundamentals and he’s great. Really insightful with a thousand little tips that all really help. Plus he’s super relaxed and funny which makes each session fun. Also, the staff and rest of the people there are really welcoming and friendly. I hadn’t really done weight lifting before but no one judges you at all. Everyone is just super encouraging. Definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I've found in Squats Gym exactly what I was looking for. People are very friendly and it has all that you need to workout properly. I have been training with Steve for several months now, and the progress has been incredible. I have never enjoyed training this much, always looking forward to the next session. Steve designs the best training program based on your needs and your goals. Sessions are always interesting and have a clear purpose. They keep you motivated. He makes sure you understand why you are doing what you are doing, focusing not only on the amount of weight but also in teaching you the proper technique, breathing, right number of sets of reps, etc. always with a well defined goal. He has a tremendous knowledge, but also his ability to transfer that knowledge to other people is outstanding. I recommend Squats and Steve as a PT to anyone who, like me, has gone and quit the gym many times in the past, and wants to finally learn how to do it properly.

Fantastic experience: My girlfriend and I have for quite a while been doing joint PT sessions with Steve, which were brilliant. Very informative at the start going through technique and slowly built up from there. Exercises and environment is brilliant, could not recommend highly enough Steve for strength training and also will provide a programme as well for outside of training.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Had a number of PT sessions with Steve. Highly recommend. For me as a beginner it was really beneficial to have a PT who focuses of form and technique. Skills that will allow me to take forward and utilize again and again.

Fantastic experience: Booked sessions with Steve based on previous reviews and he is excellent. He knows your limits and tailors exercises to fit your needs. I have ongoing lower back problems and need to build a strong base. Steve showed an understanding and experience working with similar issues. I trusted in him and the routines we were doing, and will be getting more sessions soon.

Fantastic experience: Visited to train with a friend. Proper no nonsense old school gym

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, friendly staff, amazing environment - highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Without the gym and wealth of knowledge from not only the staff but members to getting healthy would’ve been a chore!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing and so friendly staff gym atmosphere is so confortble squats gym is my all time favourite ❤️

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience at Hiit circuit workout class, highly recommend. Friendly and supportive staff. Perfect gym to reach your expectations. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Gym is well equipped, not too busy and everyone here is super friendly and helpful, whatever level of gym experience you have. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Magical Experience! I've been training with Steve for three months to sort my posture and build strength. It's been a magical experience with Steve's unique motivating ways ("be at one with the bar") have pushed me further in a shorter time than I thought possible!

Fantastic experience: I always find it hard to find a gym that works for me. With this gym as it has iron weights and bars it brought me back to when I did old school boxing. It looks everything but uncomfortable which is exactly the way it should. People are all friendly and welcoming. Plus, the hiit classes are great as an extra.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Steve for just over two months now - he's really knowledgable, focused on getting form right above all else. He's not someone to shout at you, instead motivating and encouraging. My progress with him in this short amount of time has been crazy! The other staff and members at the gym are also really friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Steve for the last couple of months and it has been amazing. Thanks to his years of knowledge and wisdom I was able to push myself and achieve weights I never thought I could all without ever being put in danger or injuring myself. If you ever get the chance to train with him I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Had my first private session with Steve today, this gym and trainer are one of a kind and if you’re looking to seriously level up he will get you there. Very welcoming environment as well. Thumbs up!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Steve at Squats Gym for two months and I love it there - he's extremely knowledgable and professional (and patient!) and I've learnt way more than I ever expected! The gym itself is very friendly and has everything you need. It's never too busy and everyone is really helpful - whether it's helping you move weights off machines or chatting in reception.

Fantastic experience: Delighted with the results working with Steve. He has helped me rebuild after an op and lockdowns. I achieved my initial strength and speed goals for swimming in just six months... and discovered I enjoy weights into the bargain. Steve ensures I take the time to develop a strong foundation through form and stepped progression. He also builds a supportive, friendly and ambitious atmosphere in the gym

Fantastic experience: Going to the gym is hard enough especially if it's an unfriendly, stale and clinical environment, so I was absolutely delighted to find squats gym and to be welcomed with open arms! I received personal training from Steve who kick-started my fitness journey and I was welcomed into the family by lovely owner, Rasa. Everyone here is so friendly and helpful and now I look forward to going to the gym!

Fantastic experience: Been training with Steve for a few weeks now. I used to be very active and have had three back surgeries this year and Steve is helping me get back my mobility and fitness levels. When I found Steve I was looking for someone who had the experience and knowledge to be able to train me without further injury and help get the right form and Steve has been absolutely epic. He has given me the confidence to get going and seeing him has massively improved my quality of life and helped enormously with the recovery so far. He is extremely knowledgeable and really friendly and it’s been great fun training with him so far. I’m looking forward to the next training session and cannot recommend him enough Squats Gym is great, love the vibe and I wish I’d found it earlier.

Fantastic experience: I have no hesitation in given this gym and Steve Cole (PT) a 5 Star rating!!! I was initially somewhat apprehensive about joining thinking I would feel intimidated however, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Everyone is SUPER friendly, supportive and extremely welcoming!! I have been training with Steve and have had 6 sessions so far. He is a true legend and MASTER of his craft. He makes each session interesting, varied and thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend Squats Gym, and PT sessions with Steve!!! 5 ************************************** PLUS!

Fantastic experience: Squats is a brilliant Gym. Rasa and her team are extremely friendly and welcoming. My husband and I have joint PT with Steve who is brilliant. I have never done weight training before and he has been amazing at teaching is form and technique, I would highly recommend signing up for sessions with him! I also do the HIIT classes which are run by Irene. You’ll be sure to build your fitness very quickly after a few of her sessions! She’s a fab instructor and full of motivation and energy! Can’t recommend the gym more highly

Fantastic experience: Squats gym and Steve the amazing PT are awesome - I cannot rate them highly enough! The gym has such a friendly vibe, everyone is there to train, there’s no pretence or posers, and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Steve has truly taken me under his wing and supported me in my sessions with him to becoming stronger and more confident with my training. I always look forward to my sessions, seeing the advancement I have made is so rewarding. I will be booking a next set of PT sessions with Steve asap!

Fantastic experience: I have been having personal training sessions with Steve at Squats and I would recommend him to anyone looking for first class personal training. Squats is a great gym and everyone is really friendly. Steve is really knowledgeable always focussing on technique. He makes each training session really enjoyable and I feel like I have progressed a great deal in a short time. Thanks Steve and Squats!

Fantastic experience: Have just finished a pack of lessons with Steve to get started with the power lifting basics. Steve is super knowledgeable and great guy, I've really enjoyed all the sessions, thanks! Feeling stronger already. On top of that the gym has a really friendly and open atmosphere. If you're interested in getting started with some weights like I was, get to Squats and talk to Steve! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Squads family ❤❤

Fantastic experience: Everyone is friendly!! Friendly owner I’ve been here for nearly 3 years!!

Fantastic experience: Old skool. The best!

Fantastic experience: Best Gym In London, Very Welcoming treat u like one big family

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere the people very helpful a brilliant all-round gym

Negative experience: Horrible gym, poorly managed. Patrons seem to disregard even limited or loosely applied covid measures. Unfriendly. Cheaper and better elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in south London, lovely staff, old school weights, neat and clean I really can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym. Friendly staff. More free weight based serious training gym in a deceptively large venue

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Steve Cole for over 9 months now and have beat all my personal-bests and have never lifted more than I can now, he’s a fantastic personal trainer I highly recommend him

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been a member of, friendly, knowledgeable staff who really know their members and a sense of community that you just don't get in the larger commercial gyms. Always a great atmosphere that really spurs you on to hit your targets time and time again!

Fantastic experience: It’s a great gym, cool atmosphere and friendly people. I train with Steve who is an expert trainer. He helped me perfect my squatting and deadlifting and now I’m lifting much heavier. Thanks Steve!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and staff I do 121 sessions with Steve who knowledge is second to none. He takes care of my strength training and I have made great gains. I would highly recommend the gym and Steve for any PT work you may want or need.

Fantastic experience: You won’t find a friendlier, more welcoming gym than this one. Having not exercised for about 2 years and feeling pretty unfit, I was apprehensive about going to a HIIT class, but I really needn’t have been. When I first came in I was greeted by Rasa (one of the nicest people ever) and the two trainers I’ve had at Squats – Hamid and Irene – have been fantastic. They push you just the right amount so you see improvement from class to class, but so that you can walk the next day…just! Would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: I'm a late retuner to gym sessions after a 10 year gap. Looked for a local gym and Squats came up. I'll be honest and thought it would be something very macho from the logo but in reality, it's a warm, friendly gym with great staff in Rasa, Steve and Hamid and an easy going atmosphere. Good for resistance weights by machine or free weights...I'm glad I joined and I highly recommend it for anyone. I don't use the changing room but it's a mixed facility as best I can figure and most people come ready changed.

Fantastic experience: The gym manager is brilliant and very personable. I have a great PT. The vast majority of gym members give it a family and community feel. There are a range of weights and machines to use to provide a full body workout.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Squats Gym for 3 weeks and i really cannot fault the place. I've visited several gyms in the past where i've felt very intimidated but not Squats Gym, its a very friendly and welcoming gym from both staff members and fellow gym members. I've been training with Steve who is an absolute gem, his knowledge and expertise on correct form when weight lifting is hugely beneficial, especially for me as it's my first time weight lifting. Steve is very motivating and encouraging during my training sessions, mixes up the training so it doesnt get boring and along with a great sense of humour, i really cannot fault Steve or Squats Gym.

Fantastic experience: As an avid gym goer of 30 years, I’ve had the pleasure of training in near a hundred gyms/fitness centres all over the world. Squats Gym London is by far one of the most friendly and inspiring clubs I’ve ever trained in. You get a kind and real welcome every visit, not only from the team who work there, but also by the members who you may of never even seen before. This not only makes you feel like you belong, but also makes you look forward to when you return next.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, it’s perfect if you are serious about working out! It has a nice atmosphere, everyone is super friendly, but let you get on with your workout. I’d strongly recommend it for anyone into weightlifting. It has a great range of equipment and boasts the best music to get you into the groove.

Fantastic experience: My Favourite GYM say no more .....

Fantastic experience: The recent Lockdown renovations to the Gym has made a great Gym even more so.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place - if You want real progress and gains please go for PT session with Steve - huge knowledge, professional approach , and most importantly it works !!!! I not only gained strength , but i learned a lot !!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a couple of PT sessions with Steve now and I can’t wait for the next one! He’s patient, professional and he makes it fun! He tailored the exercises towards my goals and he’s got a gift for pushing me to go further! Definitely recommend him and Squats! Such a friendly place.

Fantastic experience: Have always like this gym when training. Shame we cant update the cardio section of it as it would be well handy for my health. Rest of the gym is great. You'll always find people that will take the time to help you. It's not like other gyms where hard core people train and dont give you the time of day and will have attitudes towards you. No. You will not get this at squats in fact it's like a mini familey once you get to know the people that regularly train here.

Fantastic experience: A family run gym with great equipment and friendly staff. The gym has a welcoming atmosphere and has a customer base of both women and men that are supported by highly experienced personal trainers if required. The gym has recently benefited from being decorated throughout the premises.

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve been to bar none and I’ve tried plenty. It has everything you need to reach your goals irrespective of what they are. The gym has a great culture and their are no egos. Everyone you encounter is friendly. Prices are good and the equipment is a throwback to old school gyms and it caters to everyone whether you are starting out or have been at this for years . It is the type of place, you go in, switch off, work hard, get your workout done and head back home for your shower. A lot of people that are trying out a gym for the first time may be intimidated, there is no need to be in my opinion, especially in a place like this. I highly recommend.

Positive experience: Un vrai gym

Fantastic experience: Just how it should be. Great experience.

Positive experience: Really helpful staff

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in town! If you like real old school training then this is the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: Great old school gym with friendly atmosphere and solid tunes. Would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is gym is really good and for the money worth its worth it, can pay daily,weekly and monthly no contract or sign up fees. Definitely recommend this gym

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Squats Gym in Streatham for a month and I cannot recommend it enough. I have been having personal training sessions with Steve and he is knowledgeable, understanding and friendly. It is a nice environment set up for you to achieve your fitness goals at a reasonable cost. Special mention to Rasa who is clearly passionate and helpful. I have already seen results in my shape and I feel much fitter and healthier. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: This facility is an absolutely fantastic place, notice I didn't use the word "Gym" because it's more than a gym Upon entering the building the first thing you'll notice is the atmosphere, it captures your inner being and dissolves you making you feel at home instantly. There's are always a staff member with great enthusiasm, a vibrant attitude and a radiant smile that says "you are welcome" Every one that goes to this facility has something in common and they all know it hence they Smile with each other, Hug each other, Talk together and best of all Train together. There is so much more to say however if you haven't been to Squats Gym yet I will urge you to make haste and experience for your self what awaits thee at Squats.

Positive experience: Real proper gym. No sauna no jackuzi just a metal

Fantastic experience: Old school Bodybuilding gym, tonnes of free weights, lots of great plate loaded machines, good atmosphere.

Negative experience: Okay in the winter but there is very little air in this basement gym -- it gets terribly stuffy in summer. It's also not very well looked after overall, bits of wall coming off and plates all over the floor, all of the time

Fantastic experience: Awesome, professional , friendly Gym full of support and experience. Able to advice and guide on nutrition and training fr om years of personal and industry specific experience. highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I have been to various gyms in and around London.but non of them have that old school feel.the staff are very friendly and welcoming, also they have knowledge on diet and training,so this was a big plus,because some places have no clue when you ask them a question related to training,so was just nice to come in have a chat,they also have a supplement shop above the gym,and was great because I was able to get a pre work out and a protein shake! Even the members are very friendly and asked before using a machine.over all I'm very pleased with the gym and the people,this will become my new go to gym,it may be old school,but the environment is very clean,and equipment is spot on offering a large selection of free weights & hammer strength plate loaded machines,i would recommend this place to everyone, regardless of there physical ability,squats gym cater to all

Fantastic experience: My mum did a course of personal training with Victor. She said he was very good and knows his stuff. She highly recommends him!

Fantastic experience: Best 'spit & sawdust' gym in South London. Love the old Hammer machines, and plenty of 20kg plates if you're into heavy leg pressing. Simple, nothing fussy and great atmos! I hope it keeps going for a long time.

Fantastic experience: No nonsense hardcore basement gym, free weights, Hammer strength machines and heavy dumbbells.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in London hands-down! Great staff & an amazing atmosphere where people actually talk to each other.

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite gym i have ever visited. The equipment is perfect with everything you would want for lifting weights and the friendly members and staff present a very unpretentious atmosphere. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: In my opinion this gym is second to none in London. It's an old school free weights gym and has the best atmosphere of any gym I've ever used. The members are really friendly and it has a great sense of camaraderie down there (literally, as the gym is a basement gym!). The staff are very knowledgable and helpful too. They give good practical advice with regards to both training and nutrition. The gym also doubles up as a supplement shop too, stocking everything from pre workout powders to protein shakes.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, old school, no nonsense and really welcoming. Has everything you'll need!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great atmosphere and a wide range of equipment; you couldn't ask for anything more from a gym!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, it's very friendly place no matter if you are man or a woman, there is no need to feel intimidated. Great crowd of people that makes you feel welcome.
