Raw Strength Gym

Fantastic experience: Raw Strength Gym has been an absolute game-changer for me. The environment is electric, and the energy from the trainers is infectious. If you're looking for a gym with top-notch trainers who care about your success, Raw Strength Gym is the place to be. Thanks, Alex, Gen, and Sara, for making my fitness journey an incredible experience!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym for strength athletes with some key machines and functional fitness pieces

Positive experience: A gym dedicated to power and strength with great equipment. The downside is that it's quite remote even for an industrial park.

Fantastic experience: The BEST gym in the North West for powerlifting. The equipment is great and the atmosphere and community is fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Just coming to the end of a 6 week BUILT program here. The coaches are top Alex and Gen are very friendly, push you when required and help you out when there is pain. Would definitely recommend

Positive experience: Just finishing my 6 week built programme. I am happy enough with the results I’m getting and the people you meet are great, not the usual ‘gym bro’ type that talk about gains and protein shakes every second of the day…the online videos don’t really match up to the stages (I suspect the programme used to be 8 weeks and not 6) but they have some decent ‘cookie cutter’ content in them to get going. The ‘BUILT’ course is pretty full on and you sorta get launched into it not knowing what to expect but I think that’s a good thing as it’s not for those people with commitment issues. You get what you put in to it and if you are willing to give it everything and work with the team, your results will be amazing. Pros: * Staff are amazing, coaches are hard but understanding of personal issues and circumstances ie; injury’s etc * Gym is well equipped for every need * classes are well structured to engage and get results. * Class times are structured to suit all circumstances with weekend and late evening sessions available for working folk. Cons: * Expensive for a class based programme, especially when there is 10-12 people on one session and you can’t possibly finish the class exercises on time. I would consider a max class size of 8 to be an equal value for money exchange long term. * nutrition plans stop at ‘fast this’ and ‘here’s a single meal idea or day’. These need to be looked at in my opinion as I really struggled to match it and from at least 7 conversions with members, they feel the same that they needed more guidance on nutrition recommendations. Eventually I found my own way with contact from an RSG coach and other internet resources. Summary. I really recommend this to anyone trying to make a conscious change to their life and wellbeing. The mental gains equal the physical gains in my opinion and as long as you willing to push yourself to find your working limits, this is the perfect opportunity to make it happen.

Fantastic experience: Having been a member of commercial gyms for 8 years, this is the best move I’ve made, RSG has a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and the best equipment for those serious about their strength & fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I'm 5 weeks in to the Built programme at Raw Strength Gym. I’m feeling healthier and stronger which much better technique and my body is definitely changing shape. Would recommend this to anyone wanted to tone up and get fitter. Staff are really helpful and friendly.

Fantastic experience: So I am half way through my first Built course and I am loving it. All the nerves I had about joining a 'proper' lifting/strength gym quickly disappeared as everyone is so lovely and supportive. I joined as a total middle-aged novice but can already see and feel the gains. It is exactly what I was hoping for and more and I can't wait to see what I can achieve there. Come and join us - don't let age or starting ability put you off - everyone has to start somewhere.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic 6 week bodybuilding programme. Suitable for any women looking to start lifting weights, but not sure where to start. The team at Raw Strength are friendly and knowledgable, happy to go above and beyond to suit your physical needs and perfect your form in the gym. I would highly recommend to anyone, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I joined the Women’s lifting group and I can honestly say it was the best thing I’ve done. Sara and Gen have transformed my feeling for weightlifting and now I’m confident to go straight to bar and the gym. I have friends for life and confidence ❤️

Fantastic experience: As an endurance athlete whose avoided gyms for years, cannot rate highly enough Raw Strength Gym for being so welcoming, supportive and great fun. Joined last year, coaching has been great, flexible programmes and fees and really benefiting from the strength work in my training and racing on the bike. Great team, venue, camaraderie and kit!

Fantastic experience: It is an absolute pleasure to attend this gym.

Fantastic experience: The staff and other members are really friendly and give full instructions of the equipment available. They give really good coaching advice to get the best out of any member of the gym. I am 52 years old and have been here for 14 months now and progressed my weight lifting ability massively. I have not felt this fit for many years.

Fantastic experience: I'm 5 weeks in to the Built programme at Raw Strength Gym and loving it. Already feeling healthier and stronger which much better technique. The team here are really friendly and supportive. There is a great atmosphere and all the other members are very encouraging and there is a fantastic team spirit. I wish I'd done this years ago.

Fantastic experience: can't fault this gym for anything! they are so supportive and welcoming and really work with you to do the best you can! I've tried other gyms in the past and never had the results I have had at raw strength, especially in such a short period of time! if I could give them more than 5 stars I would!

Fantastic experience: AMAZING such an incredible space full of incredible people

Fantastic experience: Just participated in one of their club power lifting competitions. Facilities were excellent, plenty of equipment to warm up with, extremely friendly, supportive and inclusive place. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I have just completed the 6 week BUILT course as a complete newcomer to weightlifting and gyms in general. Without doubt one of the best decisions I have ever made, the effects have been profound and I am hooked. The gym itself is fantastic, the people there are welcoming and supportive and the staff are so friendly yet professional. It was no problem for them to teach me good form and technique despite me never having done many of the lifts before. A real sense of community and I found it much less intimidating than a larger, mainstream gym because of this. I have learnt so much from the sessions and gained a ton of confidence as well as measurable results, from increased strength to added weight and muscle mass. Would recommend to anyone, beginner or experienced. Thank you Sara and everyone else @ RSG (-:

Fantastic experience: Great set up for today's competition.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend this gym enough. I started with the BUILT program 6 weeks ago and absolutely loved it, great sessions with great professional coaches and lovely people.

Fantastic experience: I have never been to anything like this before. But from the minute I stepped through the door I was made to feel welcome. I am now 4 weeks in and the change to my body from day 1 is amazing. The support you get from the trainers and the other members is amazing. This isn’t just a gym it’s a family.

Fantastic experience: 4 weeks into the BUILT programme and I'm hooked. Can be quite intimidating joining a new gym / programme, but staff / other gym members make you feel like part of the family from day1, really good culture. Can't really fault anything, good equipment, good atmosphere, good coaching. The coaching / classes strike the perfect balance of working with you, finding your strength / fitness levels whilst pushing you to get better each session, focusing on technique and teaching you something new every time. Seen great improvements in my mindset, health, strength and fitness in the short time I've been going and look forward to improving myself going forward at RSG. Best thing I've done in years joining.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym so friendly and welcoming loved training here!!

Fantastic experience: Now 8 months into my 2nd stint at RSG after 3 years away, without doubt the best gym I've trained at and I've trained in quite a few over the years, if your looking for a soulless sterile gym with piped mtv this isn't the place for you, however if you want the best equipped gym with an amazing atmosphere were everyone is your team mate and genuinely roots for you and is happy to see your improvement then this is the place for you. Can't fault it, great coaches and great members, don't hesitate to get on board you'll love it.

Fantastic experience: RSG is a great gym, plenty of power cages, comp spec equipment for powerlifters, a range of strongman kit too. Asides from that, the community and atmosphere is what makes it such a great place to train. It's an inclusive and welcoming space, but also one where you can train alongside top class athletes.

Fantastic experience: I come to RSG periodically to train when I fancy a break from my gym. The equipment is of a very high quality, the space is great and the atmosphere is perfect for a hard training session. The owners and staff are knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. If I didn't live an hour away, I wouldn't hesitate to make it main gym!

Fantastic experience: Un loc minunat unde te antrenezi in condiții excelente!

Fantastic experience: I joined in January and saw impressive results within 5 weeks - I lost nearly 2% body fat and gained 1 kg of muscle! Their approach is different from any other gym I've ever gone to - the sessions are group-oriented, so there's a great atmosphere with a lot of support, but you also still get a good level of personalised attention to improve your technique and ensure you don't injure yourself. The sessions have loads of variety within them so you never get bored and there are four different classes to choose from, depending on what you want to achieve with your health and fitness. There's also a lot of online support, both from the coaches and other members. It's still early days for me, but I'm really enjoying my training and am impressed with my progress in a short space of time. I definitely recommend giving it a go.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and great staff! Really motivate you to get you to your best!

Fantastic experience: Finally found a gym that meets my needs. They provide an amazing service and helped me with my dietary requirements. Staff are very supportive at all stages and I am made to feel comfortable at all times

Fantastic experience: Great place to go and staff are really plesant. 5 stars

Fantastic experience: I joined Raw to learn how to lift as Ive seen so many positive stories about lifting and changing body shape. I felt totally at ease when I went for my initial consultation with Ant and all those worries about being too unfit to join were dismissed early on. Jonny and Ant are full of knowledge and will correct form and provided assistance unprompted. They arent just a gym but put steps into place to ensure you change bad lifestyle habits that could be holding you back. Ive realised now how important sleeping patterns and awareness of nutrition are and started to see results in a few weeks!

Negative experience: Terrible customer service! Very unprofessional service! Be very careful about what you are signing up for with this gym!!

Fantastic experience: This place has changed my life! I signed up to the 6 week RISE programme, bare in mind I have never done any kind of lifting or strength training. It all started after reading weekly Emails sent by Ant and these wasn't just any Emails, these was honest open Emails that really struck a chord with me. It got me thinking about my life and where I wanted to be. As a Wife and a Mother of 3 I looked after everyone and always put myself last. Times was about to change I made a decision and finally after 2 years Emailed back. Everything was simple and straight forward to get started and I was a nervous wreck on my induction but I was put totally at ease and was set to start my first 6am start - This was really convenient for me as this was the only time I could get an hour to myself whilst the rest of the house was still sleeping. On my first session being totally new, I was overwhelmed at how nice and supportive everyone was. No one knew me but got behind me to push that prowler - one! more! length! It was then that I realised wow, this place and people are awesome. I went from session to session my strength and confidence growing every time from how to load the bars and working out my percentages. Everything I was being taught had a reason and was explained so I had a better understanding to what and how I was doing things. Also along side the training we had a nutrition plan that was so easy to start with it took the daunting aspect out of it straight away. Through the great staff and supportiveness of the other members I have changed my life around, I'm healthier, fitter, I have managed to change my way of thinking and all together I am a better me all thanks to RAW Strength Gym. Find it in yourself to take that first step. Beca

Fantastic experience: Ignore the bitter ex-employee and bitter ex-members who left under a cloud.. This gym is the best fitness community anywhere in the North West.

Fantastic experience: Awesome work ethic and a great gym culture too. First class! Results speak for themselves

Fantastic experience: I joined Raw Strength Gym in August 2015 and it's one of the best things I've ever done. After trying different ways of exercising over the years, strength and weight training is something I never thought I could do. The coaches have given me the confidence to push myself and they have given me the knowledge to really understand what works for me. The nutrition side has given me a really positive change to my lifestyle. I've never felt healthier or had more energy. There is a real sense of community at the gym and the support from the coaches and other members is invaluable. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve themselves.

Fantastic experience: Fab facilities, fab atmosphere, superb coaches who know what there doing and amazing people to train with

Fantastic experience: Superb knowlegde and support. Continuing to learn so much whilst developing myself. Really can't praise the Raw Strenghth team enough. Get Involved!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant, structured programmes and support to help you achieve both short and long term goals.

Fantastic experience: Since joining Raw Strength I have made huge improvements in my lifting ability, physical appearance and nutritional knowledge, all under the watchful eye of a great team of coaches and the support of a great bunch of fellow gym members. There are no egos here, just hard work and awesome results - simples!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. The training. The encouragement. The banter and the coaching team. Just awesome!

Negative experience: Originally gave this gym 5 stars. Had to change my review... Customer service is appalling and they do not care the slightest about their clients.

Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly supportive and knowledgeable team. I am in my second programme with Raw Strength and cannot praise them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome, I'm now in my second stint at Raw Strength Gym having previously completed an 8 week course two years ago, that course changed my life! Great atmosphere, great coaching and great fun. Lift some weights, lose some weight & live

Fantastic experience: I joined the Team Tone gang in October 2015...one of the best decisions I have ever made after wasting time and money on various other gym memberships and classes. After having very little motivation to go to the gym I now hate missing any training sessions! Youre not just another member when you join Raw Strength you are part of a non-judgemental, extremely supportive community who are all in it together..it makes all the difference when yourr not just a number! If youre looking to change the relationship you have with food and training by creating a much healthier lifestyle for yourself with the support and encouragement from a great group of people then look no further. I love this new lifestyle and seeing the changes in my body shape along with a massive increase in strength and fitmess levels! I cant thank coaches Ant, Jason and Mark enough and Sara for the nutrition advice and support

Fantastic experience: I joined Raw Strength after many years of doing 'Gym stuff' fooling myself to believing that I would motivate myself, I would get to a point where I was tired and tell myself it was enough however my weight or body never changed, Raw Strength has changed me so much in just 4 weeks! 12 pounds gone, confidence up, new friends made, truly awesome, you have to do this, I am loving my new attitude, new mindset and whole different way of doing things that is a challenge but great fun with great people, look forward to meeting you all soon :) Will

Fantastic experience: Joined the Raw Strength crew in Sept 2014 & haven't looked back since. Love the people, programmes, support and atmosphere. Looking forward to continuing to feel healthy, build strength & tone for years to come.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Raw Strength Gym since September 2015 and I can honestly say joining the BUILT program was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Since joining I have lost over 15kg. I've increased my starting deadlift from 110kg to 170kg, gained back my lost confidence & completely changed how I view nutrition. I have also gained some great friends. When you join RSG you're not just joining a gym, you are becoming part of a community of like minded guys and girls who all want the very best for each other. If you want to completely transform your body or simply wish to improve your strength and endurance then it's the place to be!
