Welcome to Gymtro. The Home of Personalised Nano Training. Based in St Albans and Markyate.

Discover Gymtro's Nano PT; our way of training. Structured, crafted and tailored sessions in bitesize groups of 5 designed to help you reach your goals. 

Welcome to Gymtro, where we're not just a gym – we're your fitness family. No matter your starting point or workout preference, we're here to push you towards success.

​In 2019, I vividly recall my first phone call with Baba. I told him I was a hopeless case, didn’t like sports, and only wanted to do the NHS-recommended 2 hours per week. I was unfit, overweight, stiff, and prone to back issues. Over the years, I’d joined many gyms and given up after a few weeks. I even had to delay my trial week because I didn’t own trainers! ​Four years later, I can say without hesitation that joining Gymtro has been one of the most life-changing decisions I’ve ever made. I have found a gym I LOVE going to. My physical health has massively improved—I am fit, strong, and no longer have backaches. My flexibility, weight, and balance have all improved. The positive impact on my psychological well-being has been incredible. If I’m feeling down or angry, an hour at Gymtro leaves me happy and buzzing. I’ve also made many friends and enjoy the social side of the Gymtro community. ​If you are considering joining, I would say 100% give it a go! It can be completely life-changing, and I can’t see myself ever leaving.

Fantastic experience: Gymtro is a fantastic place to train. The coaches are all knowledgeable, approachable and effective in helping you achieve your goals. It’s a friendly environment and not intimidating like a lot of gyms can be. I’ve learnt a lot, achieved a lot and made loads of friends along the way. I can’t recommend it more!

Chris 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: GymTro is more than just a gym, it is a fantastic community to be a part of. The small group PT sessions make going to the gym a social experience, and help me to be more motivated. Before joining GymTro I found working out to be a chore that had to be done, and struggle to motivate myself. The motivation and knowledge of the PTs at GymTro are invaluable to me and my health.

Helen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Gymtro since it opened. I've never been enthusiastic about gyms but the Gymtro team are incredible motivators. The trainers are all brilliant at working on individual goals and supported me and adapted my programme following knee surgery. I've hit goals I never thought I would (or knew I had) and more importantly enjoyed doing it. There is a real sense of community at Gymtro - the small group training promotes a real team spirit. I love being part of the Gymtro family.

Vanessa Lavell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: GymTro have been absolutely amazing at supporting me getting back into the gym after my broke my coccyx. All the Coaches have been understanding of my injury and have helped me gain the confidence to get back into the gym and be fitter and stronger than ever before. As well as the excellent Coaches, the Small Group Personal Training sessions are great, you get the social element as well as the support you need. GymTro also provide extra support and initiatives with meal plans, check ins for how you’re getting on, and help you set and achieve new goals. Although I know now how to manage my injury I continue to still be a member and will be so for a long time yet!

Nicole Ryan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of GymTro on and off for a few years now, whenever I leave, I always find myself back soon! I never gain the same results on my own, compared to when I’m with them. The team are fantastic, full of knowledge and smiles, the gym is well equipped and kept clean and tidy and the members are all friendly and so supportive. I couldn’t recommend GymTro enough! They really have changed my life for the better.

Manuela Ardissone-Garlich 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been in many gyms as a trainer and a customer. Gymtro is very special in many aspects, they build your confidence, get results, offer health and dietary advise that a are tailor made to you! It’s a fun, welcoming environment with a great community feel. Baba, Oly and the tram are very knowledgeable and professionals! The vibes to get results at Gymtro are contagious. Well done guys and thank you for all you have done for the Gymtro community during lockdown with zoom. You kept us fit physically and mentally from day 1!!!

Jennah Hay 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have been going since June 2017 and have loved it so far! It’s been great meeting other people in the village and the trainers are fab - not only do they tailor the sessions and exercises to your ability but they consistently push you to achieve your best each time. Sessions are varied and of a great size. Plus love all the additional challenges they offer - a really lovely community x

Fantastic experience: Awesome personal training gym with professional, friendly, dedicated and fun trainers. Have actually started looking forward to gym classes because of these guys! ❤️

Chris Stephenson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: (Posting from my partner’s account- it’s Katie R) Joined gymtro having been at a large national ‘health club’. I’d previously trained with Oli a few years ago and needed a gym where I’d have more motivation to go and stick with it so decided to go back to Oli (who had now joined with Gymtro). The beauty of Gymtro is the small PT classes mean you never feel like you can back out of a session and are motivated to go rather than ‘I’ll go later’ (and then never going). It is a real community feel and all of the trainers know every member by name and take time to get to know them. My Brother in-law also joined with me and we go to the same sessions mostly. Despite having very different fitness requirements, we both leave every session feeling thoroughly ‘worked out’. Prices may seem high at first glance, but you need to think of it more as PT than a gym membership. I’m paying less now for 3 small group PT sessions a week than I was for 1 PT session a week at my previous gym (and with much better results). Thanks Gymtro- can’t wait to be back when you reopen!

Fantastic experience: Have been a member at Gymtro for a year after having attended Oli Spicer boot camp and 121 PT with him for several years. The gym is fantastic, the trainers are brilliant and all offer something slightly different. The planning and progression through the sessions is well thought through and the support you get to achieve your goals second to none.

Lou Bailey 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gymtro is absolutely great. Really brilliant trainers, fab atmosphere and very friendly. Absolutely excellent at helping everyone achieve their goals. Would definitely recommend joining.

Phil Cremin 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Bought my wife the unlimited PT month for Christmas and she’s joined & really enjoyed Gymtro ever since. She finds the small classes really beneficial & has never enjoyed working out more. I know during lockdown they’ve kept their members motivated and sane with their online series etc.

Karen Roache 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gymtro is beyond amazing. All the trainers are fantastic and have helped me achieve many goals. I’ve never been able to workout so hard and still be smiling at the end . Hands down best gym I’ve ever been too

Ed Lawrence 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: A really fantastic gym. Id been to regular gyms and had private sessions before but this is a great mix of the two. The team are really welcoming and after 6 months my fitness went to a level I dont think it had ever reached befoe. 100% recommend

Georgette Humphrey 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: A real community gym with professional, caring and attentive trainers who encourage you to be the best you can be. They know every one of their members individually and tailor programmes to suit you. By far the best gym I have ever been to.

Sheila Porter 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Oli Spicer for the 8 years since I retired. I can safely say that he turned my life around. In the first year he helped me to lose 4.25 stone (27kg). Since then Oli has kept me motivated and encouraged my personal development. I came 3rd female in my first novice triathlon. The furthest I’ve cycled in a day is 80k. I’ve hiked up to Everest base camp at 65, and did the Great North Run Half marathon aged 67. I can’t recommend GymTro enough.

Ravi Sachdev 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been at this gym for nearly two years, it has a great friendly environment and helps you meet your personal goals. The trainers are all so professional, encouraging and keep you motivated. I have been a member at a few gyms in the past but I never achieved the results I have with Gymtro. They help you with your nutrition and are always on hand to answer any questions. Honestly the best gym in the area with a fantastic atmosphere.

Nicki Crawley 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really friendly and Professionally trainers, a fantastic set up in the gym and all the trainers are great at adapting each session to everyone’s needs. My daughter loves it there, and whilst going to Gymtro they have inspired her now to become a Personal trainer. Keep up the good work well done

Natalie Hall 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Don’t be nervous! No matter what your age, size or ability you will be made to feel welcome and comfortable at GymTro. Baba and his team will push you, but only within your comfort zone and to achieve your goals. Everyone so friendly and make you feel good about working out...(well maybe not during the finisher but afterwards, promise) #fitfam #goals

Michael Bloor (drawbird) 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really good local Prersonal Trainer with friendly staff and a welcome atmosphere. The workouts are varied and they will work you hard. You will be pushed to your limit and you will see results. I encourage anyone interested to try this place as I will be more than happy to go again.

Paige Heffernan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, with friendly trainers and a lovely atmosphere. I am now lifting weights that I never thought I could! Simply the best.

Richie Driss 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Attention to detail as to what each individual client requires is spot on, towed the line perfectly between being a gentleman but making sure you put the work in to make the most of each session.

Phil Brookes 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: A really welcoming environment with professional, supportive and empathic trainers. I've noticed a real difference in my body shape over the last six months since I've been attending Gymtro. I'm fitter and slimmer (I don't have or desire 'bulging muscles' although I am 'leaner'). With only a few people in each session you get the attention you need, but are not put under pressure to perform above your ability. The other members are all of very mixed ages and ability so I always feel at home there how ever I'm feeling about myself at that point in time. Also the fellow members are all incredibly friendly and supportive. It's just a GREAT place to be!

Leah P 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started Gymtro as I needed something to help push my fitness and weight loss goals after having a baby. Since joining, I have already smashed my initial personal target and I am still going! The team are really great and always encourage you to push your physical and mental limits. I have always struggled with conventional gyms but the structure of small groups keeps you focused and it is just like working out with friends! Would highly recommend Gymtro and the team - keep up the good work!
