The Common Purpose Club

Fantastic experience: I have trained at common purpose now for nearly two years and I couldn't recommend it more. I joined Common Purpose with two goals in mind and achieved them both. One was to look and feel my best for my wedding and help improve my scoliosis. The training facilities are incredible and the team are so friendly and professional. They help to create a personal plan specific to your individual goals alongside keeping you motivated and accountable to achieve your goals. The gym itself is spacious, clean, and has all the equipment you need. I never feel crowded, even during peak hours, and the atmosphere is super motivating. If you're looking for a gym that makes you feel welcome and motivated to reach your goals, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: I have been lucky enough to be going to Common Purpose now for over two years and I love it. The staff are brilliant, friendly and knowledgeable, making each session both fun and challenging, tailoring workouts to suit needs, be those injury-based or simply based on ability. It is hard to single out particular PTs as they are all good, Rob, Agnes, Francesco and more recently, the lovely Natalia. Natalia is running the bulk of our sessions now, she is funny, clever, friendly and very knowledgeable. Natalia knows how to get a little bit more out of me, which I like (most of the time), and is helping me push myself out of the comfort zone - she is a fine addition to the CP team. Thank you again to everyone there and I wish CP continued success.

Fantastic experience: Francesco is exceptional. He is the perfect combination of charm, motivation and humour. I’d be fatter and weaker without him

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Rob at Common Purpose for a few years and as someone who's always juggling work and other commitments, fitting in exercise hasn’t been easy. Rob’s adaptable approach makes it work, offering personalised guidance in and around my training sessions. The atmosphere at the club is very welcoming, and the whole team is professional, supportive and fun to be around. If you're trying to make time for fitness, even with a busy life, this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Common Purpose for just over 6 months and am enjoying every minute. Sam and Agnes are my main PTs and they are exceptional. They can help tailor the programme to your goals and help you with injury recovery. They are dynamic in their approach to each session to help maximise results but also realise when you are tired or under the weather and still make sure you get something out of it. All the team are highly trained and thoughtful in their approach and guidance. Beyond this they have created a great community spirit within the gym so it feels like you are amongst friends when working out. The gym is kitted out with all the equipment you need. Importantly, as everyone has to book in for each session the attendance is well balanced: enough people to feel motivated, but never too busy or crowded. Feels high end and exclusive; a great formula - keep up the great work Common Purpose!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Agnes for several months now, and the results have been phenomenal! Their expertise in strength training is unparalleled. Each session is meticulously planned to push my limits while ensuring proper form and safety. I've seen significant improvements in my strength and overall fitness. Highly recommend Agnes to anyone looking to build strength and achieve their fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: **YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS PLACE** For years I struggled to gain traction in the gym and it always fell to the bottom of my to do list. I needed something more than just training on my own. That all changed when I met the team at Common Purpose and discovered the Semi-Private PT training programme. Three months before I got married I started the semi-private training and after four weeks, training three days a week with Agnes (and Oli) there were positive signs starting to show. Two months later I was in the best shape I had ever been in and I was over the moon with how I looked! I will be forever grateful that they were able to push me to my limits and exceed all expectations. Just WOW! 10/10

Fantastic experience: A great and professional team that helped me reconnect with weight lifting after almost a decade of inactivity. I chose CP because it combines the relaxed, less crowded environment of private training with the professional equipment and advice of a larger facility. Special thanks to Agnes, who is always focussed on making sure my routine meets my needs as well as keeping it fun!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 could not recommend enough

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Great personal training gym in the heart of Central London, a short walk away from Green Park tube station. Very knowledgeable team, particularly when it comes to injury management and rehab. As a former S&C coach for female professional athletes, Ollie has become a personal favourite as he is always coming up with new and effective ways to fix my various ailments. They also run great semi private sessions with c.3 people per group if you don't want fully private. Never too busy and always good fun!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Common Purpose for over a year and enjoy every session. All the trainers are great.

Fantastic experience: Having discovered this total gem of a Personal Training Gym minutes from my office 4 months ago, I am only sorry that I didn’t know about it sooner. It’s well equipped and laid out - the training floor has all you need and the changing rooms/showers are nice. I have been lucky to have been trained by some truly excellent trainers in the past. However Common Purpose is unique in the strong sense of community that is evident from the second you enter to be warmly greeted by Petra at the front desk. All of the trainers are friendly and know your name. The semi-private PT option has exceeded all of my initial expectations. All of my individual needs have been considered, discussed and factored into my training by Oli. As a menopausal female in her 50s, I genuinely thought that I was past the stage of major PBs etc…. how wrong I was and I have rung the bell many times. Oli challenges every objection I raise and has good answers to almost every question I ask! Am pushed out of my comfort zone regularly but still having so much fun on the training floor. Am looking forward to more successes, my first ever Hyrox in November and more beyond. Cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Common Purpose is a top class facility all-round. The space is bright and well thought out, the equipment and machines are from the best providers in the world and layed out well, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and uplifting.

Fantastic experience: I've absolutely loved training at Common Purpose since my very first session. All the staff and trainers are so friendly and welcoming and they have fostered a real sense of community around the place. Unlike the more transactional PT relationships I've had in the past, the trainers genuinely care about your progression and take pride in helping you to reach your goals. The equipment, facilities and gym floor is always spotless and never overcrowded - I can't recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: I just love going to CP. Every PT knows you, encourages you, with diverse and motivated clients. And the music is great

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Common Purpose for over a year now and can’t recommend the team or the gym enough. The staff are knowledgeable and all round lovely people invested in your success, determined to push you in a sustainable and friendly atmosphere to achieve whatever goals you set out to achieve. The facility has everything you need to train the way you want, and achieve the lifts / goals you want with your trainer. I plan to keep training here and coming back setting new goals for a long time!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with common purpose for several years now - through covid and two pregnancies - Sam and the team have completely changed my fitness. Can’t say enough good things about their data-based approach and look forward to my team in the gym each week.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Common Purpose for a year now and the experience has been exceptional. The team are superb. My training programme has been expertly tailored to my needs and goals, always challenging but achievable and very motivating. I’m extremely happy with the results and the effect on my overall health and wellbeing has been outstanding.

Fantastic experience: An outstanding experience. I previously struggled to regularly go to the gym, always stopping due to lack of motivation or injury. Thanks to the team at Common Purpose, I have been regularly working out for over a year. The team are super knowledgeable, and do a fantastic job working around any pre-existing injuries and developing a program that suits what the client needs. There’s also a real focus on making the client feel comfortable in the training environment. Could not recommend it more.

Fantastic experience: Common Purpose changed my life, as someone who struggles with keeping to any fitness routine and is shy in the gym environment, within 3 months of training 3 times a week I did my first pull up from never having done strength training before! It has now been nearly 2 years and I am the healthiest, strongest and happiest version of myself. Since the Semi-Private Personal Training programme started, I have enjoyed the social element and accountability of training with 2 other members yet still progressing with an individualized and targeted programme for my specific goals. The trainers are simply the best in class, they are incredibly attentive, professional, knowledgeable and most of all made me feel comfortable. The personal training club itself is in an incredible location in Mayfair on Stratton Street next to Green Park station, the training space is to the highest specification with lots of natural light and even a garden space, the changing rooms are the perfect luxury escape for selfcare before a day in the office. I highly recommend The Common Purpose Training Club to anyone who is looking for a professional, welcoming, results driven, well rounded training programme that accommodates all abilities.

Fantastic experience: Great place, great people and great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Common Purpose for over 2 years now and it has been hands down one of the best personal “investments” I have ever made. This is not your usual gym/personal training place. For starters you truly feel you are a part of a family - you will know all the trainers and they will know you as well. You might train with one trainer but you will have the whole team behind you. I can not speak highly enough of the team - each and everyone of them is super knowledgeable, excellent at goal/program setting, pushing you forward and most importantly truly interested in you and your well being on a personal level. The fantastic facility they have built is just perfect in size and has everything you need for a great workout - from start to finish. I cannot recommend Common Purpose highly enough!! Big shout out to Sam, Tiago, Dan, Oli, Rob, Petra and the rest of the team.

Fantastic experience: Of all the training studios I’ve ever been to Common Purpose are by far the best I have experienced. Tiago, Dan, Sam and team take a holistic approach to your lifestyle, setting realistic; incremental goals which push you and set you up for success towards your long term objectives. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at CP for a few years now and could not recommend them highly enough. The knowledgeable trainers, personalised workouts, excellent facilities, and strong sense of community make it an exceptional place to achieve your fitness goals and feel supported every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Sam, Tiago and the team for several years. The impact of our work together has been phenomenal. I am fitter, stronger, thinner, healthier and happier in my fifties than in my forties, something I never imagined possible. They are experts at what they do, customise the training to your needs, find the right balance between challenge and support and make it fun. They create a family-like atmosphere in the club that makes you want to go back. I highly recommend them. They literally changed my life for the better!

Fantastic experience: Group sessions are good fun, feel pushed, good energy. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Very well appointed, large PT focused gym in the perfect central London location. The team at Common Purpose make you feel like part of a family, with friendly professionalism at its core and one to one training plans designed to support your current goals, I have continued to stay motivated and seen amazing achievements over the last few years as a result. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: It's a superb club with all the elite facilities you'd expect, but what sets CP apart is the culture the team - led by Sam - creates which helps you achieve your goals both within the club and outside. Dan has trained me for well over a year, having suffered chronic lower back issues from my youth. I'm now fitter and stronger than ever before and importantly totally pain free. Strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with the CP team for a number of years now and have always found them to be knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly capable. They understand the importance of a client-centric approach and take time to really get to know and understand each client’s goals, personality, interests, motivators, and perhaps most importantly, moods. The CP gym is first class with all the facilities and kit one would expect from a high end PT outfit.

Fantastic experience: I'm very happy with common purpose. The trainers have all made the sessions engaging, enjoyable and a very effective use of time. As a beginner they made things approachable, and I've always felt well supervised in the small group PT. The variety of sessions keeps things interesting, and they always seem thoughtfully designed.

Fantastic experience: This Personal Training Club is so much more than a gym - where to start?! I’ve struggled with my weight (and confidence) since hitting menopause - and have in the past joined various gyms but always lost my confidence and appetite to go. At Common Purpose they thought really hard about who to pair me with, and then curated a programme that really understood my issues and worked on rebuilding my confidence, my love of exercise and my own relationship with my body - as well as getting actual results! All the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and approachable - they are totally ahead of current trends and thinking (and cover all aspects of getting in shape, mental, physical, health, food etc.)and the space itself has paid attention to every detail in terms of equipment, as well as always being immaculate - and the changing rooms are full of little luxurious that make you feel little they care about your experience. Whether you’re an athlete, or just starting out, or a middle aged women (like myself) — I genuinely can’t think of a better place to train.

Fantastic experience: I survived my session and will be coming back…. Tells you all you need to know

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with even better trainers!

Fantastic experience: Attending the weekly small group personal training sessions with Ollie and Rob at Common Purpose has transformed my attitude towards exercise. Their dynamic approach, personalised guidance, effort and energy make every session enjoyable, leaving me feeling stronger and more motivated. I look forward to every session and would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for over a year and I can only give positive feedback. The gym is welcoming, great changing rooms, lockers, showers, the training floor has everything and lots of space. The training itself is structured to accommodate everybody's need, all staff members are very professional, but also friendly, encouraging. I see results in my fitness and I have regular updates with the trainers about what I want to achieve next. Best PT gym I have attended.

Fantastic experience: The guys and girls at Common Purpose are some of the best fitness professionals I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The equipment and facilities are absolutely fantastic – and the sessions are perfectly designed to suit your needs. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Common Purpose is the best personal training club I’ve ever used. Tiago + team are top notch and go the extra mile for their clients. Gym and facilities are an oasis in Mayfair. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great energy and has everything you need. My trainer is Joe Taylor, very knowledgeable and professional. They offer protein shakes and some snakes.

Negative experience: They never reply to messages, even though they read them, rude and arrogant, stay clear of this place!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Common Purpose gym and have been really impressed with the facilities and equipment. The gym is clean and well-maintained, and there's a wide variety of machines and free weights to choose from. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and they offer a variety of classes. Overall, I highly recommend Common Purpose gym to anyone looking for a great workout experience.

Fantastic experience: Common purpose have managed to build a wonderful community of people - from their knowledgable and personable trainers and house manager to the regular members who train there. I hate working out with a fiery passion but these guys make it bearable which is really a testament to how great they are. Also, the smoothies are wonderful. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Aside from the gym being outstanding, and very well maintained, the culture and team here are special. Common Purpose Club is about building a team around you, who care about your performance, progress, but also understand you are a real person with competing pressures. I cant recommend this place highly enough. Z

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of common purpose for over two years and have absolutely loved the professionalism and enthusiasm of the team. Sam, my primary trainer, has transformed my shape and fitness levels and helped enhance my overall feeling of wellbeing. The gym is incredibly well equipped and provides a wonderful atmosphere for training. My wife joined a year ago and has had an equally positive experience and has found the whole experience transformational. I couldn't recommend the club highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Common Purpose's new facility at 10 Stratton Street is a fabulous training area, with lots of natural light from its internal garden, a light & welcoming decor, a superb range of equipment, and continuing utmost professionalism from the CP team. Sam, Dan & Tiago continue to provide the highest quality of personal training, together with the rest of their growing team. They have helped me enormously and amongst the many benefits i have enjoyed training with them, I no longer have the shoulder problems that plagued me for years (two operations) and they have prepared me for activities which, without them, would have been a struggle. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Fantastic experience: Just had my first session at Common Purpose with an amazing trainer, Mirko. He's got 20 years of experience in training clients in functional movement, rehabilitation, strength training and parkour. I'm working around some injuries which he respects and understands the work my physio is also doing. I can't recommend him highly enough (I've tried a lot of PTs over the years, and he's the best!)

Fantastic experience: All three have been a delight to work with! Amazing trainers who do their due diligence, very happy.

Fantastic experience: Tiago, Sam and Dan are excellent trainers! Have worked with them for a while and cannot recommend them or their gym enough :)

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Sam for over 6 months and the quality of the service delivered has been outstanding. Sam is a delightful, thoughtful and highly professional trainer who has worked really hard to deliver the optimal training programme for myself throughout the lockdowns etc. I am absolutely delighted with the results of the programme that Sam has devised which so far has resulted in my losing over 6Kg in weight and a significant change in my body shape. I can highly recommend the service offered by Common Purpose.

Fantastic experience: Over the last two years the guys from Common Purpose have truly changed my life! When I started I could barely pick up a pencil off the ground due to a bad back and now I am lifting 50+kg deadlifts! Moreover I am having the best time while I train - all three of them are so kind, care so much about their clients and are so so fun! Beyond the improvement in physical health, Sam has guided me through overall improvement of well being. He truly knows how to adapt to each individual and mirror their mood even with the training programme vs. following a rigid regime. I have found that to be truly motivating and what keeps me always on track even in the most difficult weeks! I can keep going but I think you should try for yourself!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and safe place to work out with state of the art equipment and trainers that really do understand your personal needs and objectives, working with you to achieve your goals, whether beginner, elite or somewhere (like me) in between. Can't rate them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Its been 24 years since i first started personal training and all i can say is the past 4 that i have been training with Tiago ( and from time to time Sam and Dan) have -hands down - been the best. I have, in that time, achieved many personal bests and felt stronger and fitter than i ever imagined I could. I have also benefited from their patient and effective rehab after a frustrating period of ill health. But it is also way more than that. CP are a great team who seamlessly support each other and us. Their approach is personal, wholistic, tailored, thoughtful, backed by a ton of knowledge, truly professional and genuinely caring in every way. They truly go beyond the actual gym when helping you achieve your goals with some great questions and really well informed health and lifestyle advice on all levels, whilst anything new they will thoroughly research on your behalf. They even go beyond the call of duty in motivating me when im travelling, making sure i am armed with workout PDFs and checking in from time to time. I really enjoy my sessions. They are fun and informative and always feel like progress and while it may be hard work on occasion i always feel better afterwards. If you are lucky enough to have the chance to train with this wonderful team, dont hesitate. ( oh, and the gym itself is really nice too). Thank you Tiago! You guys are all total stars.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Sam for over 6 years now and I can't speak highly enough of him. He helped me address my long-term back issues, and thanks to him I am healthier, more athletic, and have improved my ability to continue to play a sport that I love. Sam has alway provided me with caring advice and support both inside and outside the gym. I have recommended him, without hesitation, to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with these guys for 2.5 years now - usually 4x / week. All very dedicated, and great positive energy. They know how important it is to adapt a program for your individual objectives; and to adapt each session to how you're feeling - both mentally and physically. Totally flexible and user-friendly in every way. Great teamwork between all 3 - covering and helping each other in so many ways; well coordinated and organized and professional. Working hard on your behalf after hours with tips, research, etc. I've had a 7-8 different regular trainers in the last 12 years - these guys are easily the best experience. Absolute pleasure to train with.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Sam for two years. He is an incredibly competent and professional personal trainer. However, his greatest quality is the personal focus he puts on each of his clients. He adapts his methods to where you are at, notices small changes in your body and encourages you to take a holistic view of your well-being that goes well beyond what he does with you at the gym. I could not recommend him more.

Fantastic experience: Have been training with Sam for a year now, you can definitely see the results!! Sam is super professional, really understands the client. He is so good that have recommended to my wife and daughter and he trains them now too!

Fantastic experience: The complete package ! Great knowledge, total professionalism, brilliant motivators. Its a joy to train with them.

Fantastic experience: Sam, Thiago and Dan are quite simply fantastic, definitely the best in the business..... They care about their clients. They love what they do and they stand head and shoulders above the rest in the sector. I would go so far as to say I look forward to the sessions and to see what they have concocted for me each time. Even if I might not say that to them at the time!!

Fantastic experience: This team is fantastic. Professional Trainers who really go the extra mile. You get so much more than just your 1h sessions. They also really understand freelance professionals too, and can be very accommodating when other life events happen.

Fantastic experience: I got a lot more than I expected. I’m a first timer to “personal training”, so bear with me if this is commonly expected in the industry, but on top of both educating me in the correct technique, creating a long-term personal training schedule, Tiago and the team at Common Purpose did the following: - initial introduction plan; walk through of importance of weight training over cardio-only workouts, importance of sustainable work out schedule. - workout by muscle groups; knowledgable in the utility of specific muscles, which you should be feeling during routines (I was worried about injuring myself whilst taking on load). - personalised nutritional packs; handpicked recipes and allowed foods from Gousto, Pret, Itsu and other high street shops (my goal is focused around weight loss rather than muscle gain). Would highly recommend these guys for anyone wanting to make a long term change. They have shorter term plans for others with specific goals in min (iron man, rowing competitions etc)

Fantastic experience: Where do I start? Best personal trainers I have come across over the years. Incredibly knowledgeable, always researching the latest science and data to evidence their claims and practices, dedicated, supportive, motivating, open minded and so much fun to be around. Their current facilities are state of the art and conveniently located just a stone throw away from Oxford Circus. But their practice goes way beyond traditional personal training! It’s a 360degree overhaul of your lifestyle: nutrition, stress management, mindfulness, sleep hygiene, etc. Best decision you’ll ever make...

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Sam for a number of years during which my goals have changed and evolved. Sam has modified my programs as needed to achieve my goals time and time again. Every friend that I have referred has been very happy!

Fantastic experience: The best PT's in the business... these guys know their stuff! Highly professional but very approachable, I always enjoy my workouts and have seen amazing progress so far. Also love the swish facilities and full-rounded support I get with my training! Couldn't recommend them more.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with the guys at Common Purpose for the last six months and have seen some amazing results. I came to them in pretty bad shape and with a genuine fear of gyms, but Sam made me feel completely at ease and has worked alongside me to help me feel better than ever. They are genuinely interested in their clients wellbeing and success, which seems rare nowadays! Thanks guys.
