Winning Strength Southampton: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Tom Hibbert! I was fortunate enough to receive online coaching from him for about 6 months. I've had several coaches, both in person and virtual, and none have come close to Tom's expertise, professionalism, patience and kindness. Program delivery and coaching is done through his Winningstrength app, and Tom was always available to answer any questions I had. Very happy!!
Thanks Rachel, it was a pleasure to guide you!
Fantastic experience: Tom is the man. Knows more than any coach I’ve ever had, very responsive, and knows a stretch or movement for any issue you can ever have. Def recommend him to anyone trying to get strong
Thanks Devan, looking forward to the competition for you this weekend!
Fantastic experience: Since coming to winning strength the amount of goals I have achieved is amazing. The gym has help me do that traumatically it’s definitely the best gym around by far.
Thanks Wasp!
Fantastic experience: Im not a client of Toms, however I asked him about an issue i had with log for a good while now and he gave me the most simple of ques to try and helped me get over that mental barrier. Not once made me feel like I was bothering me and seemed genuinely happy to help me. Absolute top block and impecible knowledge!
Thanks Blaine, was happy to see your results!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Peter was very good. He helped find out what injury I had, and also found other weaknesses that I can work on to improve in the future. He was great at explaining what he was doing and why it was beneficial. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for treatment.
Thanks very much Jack!
Fantastic experience: Sean has been astronomically helpful at Winning Strength, allowing me to realise that I’m stronger than I think I am, but also pushing me to achieve higher weights. I feel proud, and I like that I can train in a way that suits my hectic schedule, as Sean is ready to adapt my programme and discuss anything I want to adjust. I also never really saw a difference in myself in other gyms that I had been a member of before, but at WS it feels very tailored to the individual. I feel comfortable when I go here, it really is a little community, and I believe that boils down to having a coach that believes in his clients and pushes them further ☺️
Thank Lauren!
Fantastic experience: I was experiencing increasing chronic low back pain and sciatica, including general burnout with my job in the NHS and a friend recommended winning strength gym. Since joining a year ago Sean my coach has been superb, a constant source of encouragement and motivation! Sean has helped me tremendously with improving my general wellbeing, through his bespoke programme improving my strength which has resolved my chronic back pain & sciatica!! I cannot rate Sean highly enough from winning strength gym!! Brilliant coach. Thank you Sean!!
Thanks Kim!
Fantastic experience: Peter is a world class therapist. His attention to detail and in depth knowledge is second to none.
Thanks Tim!
Fantastic experience: Almost one year of online collaboration with Tom and I just want to go forward with his coaching. Always looking for next workouts, happy with those. Yes, some are hard but I have high goals, high ambition and those requires high discipline and high level of work. And the best is that we are also working to get a solid and great deadlift despite all the problems I had. Thank you Tom, let's work to reach my goals ans beyond.
Thanks Enzo! Working with you is a pleasure, always working hard!
Fantastic experience: I worked with Tom for 18 months or so online for strongman. I'd highly recommend Tom/WS for anyone looking to excel in the sport of strongman, I improved my performance significantly, learned a lot of new training methods/protocols to use with my own clients and achieved multiple podiums at national level in tested and untested strongman.
Thanks Alex!

Fantastic experience: Winning Strength has been an absolute game-changer for my fitness journey. As a complete newbie to the world of lifting, I couldn't have asked for a better place to start. From the moment I walked in, the friendly atmosphere and supportive environment made me feel so welcome. Sean's expertise and personalized guidance have not only helped me build strength but also boosted my confidence in the gym. He knows how to strike the perfect balance between pushing me to my limits and ensuring I maintain proper form and safety. If you're someone who's considering starting their fitness journey or looking to take it to the next level, I fully recommend Winning Strength!
Thanks very much Clinton, it's great to see you shine!
Fantastic experience: Excellent equipment and World class. Tom and Sean are extremely knowledgeable - it's difficult to image a better environment to get strong.
Thanks Will!
Fantastic experience: Winning strength is the elite of the elite and in particular Peter who has recently joined the team is something of a miracle worker. I am a footballer who is constantly playing every other day and he seemed to pick up issues with me that I didn’t even know about after 5 mins with me. After my 1hr session with him, I felt fixed and the best Version of myself for a very long time. If you come to this gym or need to see a doctor or you are suffering any pains or injuries then get booking with Dr Peter at winning strength asap as I promise like he did with me he will help you massively
Thank you Kaya, it is a pleasure to be guiding you and having your energy in the gym!
Fantastic experience: This gym is an absolute dream gym for strength enthusiasts. Top selection of barbells from AOA to Eleiko, quality plates and some uncommon but brilliant machines for performance focused training. Tom Hibbert is an unreal coach and resource for training knowledge!
Thanks Mok!
Fantastic experience: Tom is a 10/10, no-nonsense coach and it has been a pleasure training in his gym. As a novice lifter who often felt self-conscious during workouts, Tom made me feel comfortable and there's a great atmosphere at Winning Strength where everyone helps each other. I got in touch with Tom hoping he could help alleviate the knee pain I felt on leg days. After a month at Winning Strength, my knee has never felt better. I'm comfortably able to squat past parallel which I could never do before. The gym is well-equipped, including several pieces of equipment/machines that you rarely find in other gyms (such as reverse hyperextensions, inverse curls, sleds and mag handles for lat pulldowns). I'm sure experienced lifters would feel right at home as PBs were being broken by his other clients on a daily basis. One of the best things about the facility is the 0.25kg, 0.5kg and 0.75kg magnetic plates that you can attach to any of the dumbbells. Very few gyms have this. It makes progression much simpler as you can increase the weight in small increments. Thanks for all your help over the past month Tom and I wish you and the WS team all the best.
Fantastic experience: Without doubt the best equipped strength gym in the area. All top quality barbells, eliko competition plates and some of the best assistance equipment. added to that the recover room with sauna, hyperbaric chamber, Res light and more. Tom and his team are awesome, amazingly knowledgeable and really friendly, this is a place like no other I can't recommend it enough. Rob Warburton WPC World Champion 2021
Thanks Rob!
Fantastic experience: Quite simply Tom is the best of the best when it comes to online strength coaching. As a coach to a World’s strongest man winner and 5 strongman world records Tom is one of the only other coaches in the industry I’d entrust with my programming. All my achievements as a coach are a result of him mentoring me. I’ve used his principles as a foundation to create my own systems of training and recommend that any coach wanting to make a mark in the strongman community do the same. Both time’s I’ve won WA’s Strongest Man has been under Tom. Both competitions felt like a walk in the park compared to the brutality he put me through. So much so I wasn’t even sore the next day. When I was diagnosed with testicular cancer Tom gave me a call and set my mindset right to come back better afterwards, which I did. I wasn’t even a client at the time but he genuinely cares about people and just wanted to help me out. Finally thanks to Tom I was able to quit my job as a personal trainer and have never have to wake up at 4am every again since I’ve used his principles to get my online clients amazing results. I’m grateful for my sleep ins every day and this would never have happened if it wasn’t for him.
Fantastic experience: very impressed with this well equipped gym, plenty of parking
Fantastic experience: I have trained at Winning Strength for just over 6 months. The knowledge of coaches and the practices here an not comparable to any other gym I have ever trained at. The increase to my lifts and improvement in my technique has been improved more in 6 months here than in the last 5 years of my training at other gyms/PT's. Over Christmas I contracted COVID-19 and was left in a fairly frail state afterwards. My breathing was badly affected and I was struggling to walk around the block without gasping for air. Tom advised that he had a therapy for this by way of his microcurrent machine and asked me to come in for 2 sessions over the course of a week. Literally within a week my breathing and lung capacity were back to full strength, nothing short of a miracle. If you are looking for fixes to chronic issues or looking for massive improvements in your sports performance; Winning Strength is the place that you NEED to discover!
Fantastic experience: Excellent results from this place. A back injury I’ve had for the past 9 years that had never been figured out by a GP was fixed within one hour of therapy with Tom. Very happy with the results
Fantastic experience: The training plan and equipment are first rate. The interaction with the coaches is excellent with lots of positive feedback on technique and a genuine feeling that they want you to be the best you can be. This really is a gym for anyone that want to take their training to next level regardless of your sport Tom can design a program that will find your weakness, sort it and make huge improvements..
Fantastic experience: Since joining the Winning Health Solutions team my progress has been incredible. I started training in the gym May 2019 with the intention to improve my performance as a strongman. Thanks to Tom and the guy at WHS I won my first ever strongman event and followed that up with a second win just a few months later. The facility is world class, which matches the knowledge of the staff, I would highly recommend to anyone who has health and fitness goals.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place got bored of going to the gym now this place has given me the drive and motivation again. All the coaches and Tom are amazing and really knowledgeable and tailor everything to you. so much different equipment you wouldn't find at a normall gym. All other clients I've met have been really welcoming and couldn't recomened this place enough well worth the money.
Fantastic experience: Individual attention by trainers who will ensure you gain your goals. When you come to Winning Health Solutions the trainers will make sure you get it right
Fantastic experience: So about a year ago I was put in touch with WHS after I had gone through a hard time with a flare up of my lower back issues from previous diagnosed sciatic pain. I have had acupuncture and physio for it over time but still it hovers over me like a dark cloud. Until that is I walked in to discuss it with Tom Hibbert and the 30 day trial offer. Now, some time on and now a full member, by following a personalised programme and specific diet to assist, I’m leaner stronger and more confident with my back and its strength and reliability with day to day movements and weight training in the WHS all you can eat buffet style gym. Which has a wide diverse variety of body part specific equipment that would keep me from becoming bored of standard repetitive routines that any other commercial gym might offer, and with this it keeps me interested in learning about the physiology of my anatomy and how to change it for the better and long term. Because of this I am now living a healthier lifestyle in general and realising more everyday that you only have one body so why not invest in it the right way. We all spend hundreds on the latest phone and tv and never really blink about those figures, sure WHS isn’t what I call cheap but it’s your body that you will always depend on in the future so invest in it and be smart and look at the bigger picture and look after number 1. Cheers Tom and big thanks to giant Will, musical Jen, little Max and baby Ben x Soooo it’s been along time. Thought I’d update… been under the watchful eye of Sean, and the results are nothing short of brilliant…strength , numbers, size, definition, energy are all on the up, not to mention confidence in my bodies limitations with compound movements. Combine all of the above with trying to iron out small potential issues. The company remains focused on its goals for clients…. But this hooray is for Sean…. Always challenging me when needed, listening to my concerns and answering my questions all while sneaking in some great challenges which I have always stepped up to…… mainly due to his guidance and programming. Cheers brother.
Positive experience: Not for everyone
Fantastic experience: I've been going to the WHS for over 2 years. I visited the gym to get a consultation for my problematic lower back. Since that time Tom and his team have got me back on track with no reoccurence of the problem, and now visit the gym when I can in order to ensure the strength and flexibility remains! The gym has a great vibe and even though I am of "senior years", I have a programme suited for my physical limits with use of the fantastic array of modern equipment. Well done and thank you Team WHS!
Fantastic experience: For all those who think gyms are for young lycra clad beauties, think again; Winning Health Solutions have welcomed me as a senior with arthritic hip problems. They have been very knowledgeable and caring in helping me to keep all the muscles as strong as possible In readiness for my op. I never feel out of place just part of the Winning Health Solutions family.
Fantastic experience: Although I am Tom’s wife, Tom still amazes me to this day with his dedication towards his clients, his unbelievable knowledge in every aspect of mindset, training and nutrition. When I started at WHS I had just had a knee op, and could barely bend my knees let alone squat! 5 years on I have never been so strong, and I have learnt so much about nutrition, a better lifestyle and training technique.
Fantastic experience: Received wonderful expertise and support from strength coach James Bennett this year. Also used the Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber for recovery and race visualisation. Achieved my 2018 goals of three gold medals (400 hurdles, 400m and 4x400 relay) at the World Masters Athletic Championships
Fantastic experience: I rarely make an effort on giving feedback for any service I utilised but Winning Health Solutions deserves this review. I have been a client of Tom Hibbert when they've opened this facility and totally transformed my mindset around my wellbeing and physical health. It is not uncommon that most health workers like myself have this sense of altruism in looking after other people's wellbeing but very likely ending up neglecting their own. The WHS team have always been very supportive on all the challenges I have encountered and until now have shown the same level of attention to detail and personalised coaching. It is quite fascinating to witness how this service have evolved throughout the years and continue to show excellence with a "can do" attitude. I've never lost faith in your talents Tom and the care you provide to your clients. I will always be in debt to you and your team for their dedication.
Fantastic experience: After nearly a year of training at WHS I can easily say it has been the best investment I have made for my personal health and wellbeing. The facilities and equipment are second to none and the only thing more impressive is the atmosphere that the coaches create. Their knowledge in all things relating to health and fitness along with their desire to help you achieve your goals mean that results will happen if you put the work in.
Fantastic experience: The team are so knowledgeable and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I already know I am making progress and my trainer pia Is always contactable for questions and full of new and helpful tips to help me achieve my goal.
Fantastic experience: Where do I start? I wanted to become muscular as I have always been very slight, I achieved this very quickly and became lean with good muscle mass thanks to the consults I was having at Winning Health Solutions. Eventually, I got into strongman and can deadlift 3x my bodyweight, I can lift 95kgs log at 79kgs bodyweight, and squat double my bodyweight. You are being trained by England's strongest man u90kgs, A future World's Strongest Man competitor who you will eventually see on your tele at Christmas, A powerlifting champion, an 100m sprinting champion, and a successful bikini model competitor! With this line up you cannot go wrong!!! This is so different to a commercial gym, the equipment could be the best in the country, let alone the south, and I have been to a lot of gyms around the country to compete... If you are willing to work, results are 100% guaranteed, join this place and meet some of the most influential people you will ever come across in your life. It is a VERY friendly atmosphere!
Fantastic experience: Superb advice and guidance whatever your goal - the team if coaches are knowledgable and take a real interest in what you are trying to achieve - no matter what your goal. My body shape and composition has changed completely since I've been training at WHS and following their guidance on nutrition - dropping 5 dress sizes and placing top 5 in two physique competitions in all of my categories. This is the best gym I have ever found - Tom and the team deliver real results. I'd recommend them to anyone willing to put the effort in.
