Square One Gym

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Aaron for almost 6 months and it's changed my whole world. I'm 11kgs down and feeling so free. Super grateful for his input! Let's see what comes next! Thanks Aaron

Fantastic experience: For all round health & fitness this gym is incredible. Powerlifting, Olympic lifting, wrestling?! STRONGMAN?! Great facility, clean, tidy, friendly & has a multitude of add benefits - knowledgeable team, cafe, spin classes & BJJ classes. Excellent.

Fantastic experience: Square One sets itself apart from other local gyms by offering a wide range of training options to suit everyone, from complete beginners to dedicated weightlifters.

For anyone keen to just get fit or improve their sporting passion, Square One is the go to place!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Aaron at Square One for 16 weeks now, and I couldn't be happier with the progress and achievements I've made. Aaron is a top guy, listened to my goals and set the benchmark. He is knowledgeable, motivating and genuinely invested in helping me reach those goals. The gym itself is excellent, with top quality equipment and a great community feel that makes going there really enjoyable. Would recommend as a great place to train or get high quality PT.

Fantastic experience: Been working with Aaron now for about a year. I could not recommended him enough.his knowledge and dedication to get you to where you want to be is unreal. Always keeping things positive and pushing in the right direction.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with superb kit. The trainers are really helpful and knowledgeable. If you want a commercial gym in Hitchin this is the one. They also have wrestling and strongman so the vibe is really fun. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: After touring all the gyms I could in Hitchin I ended up at Square One. What a fantastic gym. I was after a gym that focused more on free weights, had lots of squat racks, space for deadlifts; this gym has it all. On top of that I’m never waiting for anything during my usual morning session. I imagine that might change if people catch on how good this place is though! The cardio equipment is also modern, but I don’t think it’s this gym’s USP. They could perhaps do with a few fans to keep people cool, as not all the cardio machines have them in built. Still, the equipment has touch screens with nice workouts. At least one bike has incline and decline to match the route you’re on.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym — one of the best I’ve ever visited. Plenty of racks, plates, and bars, with a plethora of strongman equipment and loads of machines. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the members were affable. They also offer pro-wrestling classes, which is quite unique.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Square One Gym since March ‘25, having previously been a member at Nortons in WGC, which I loved but wanted a gym closer to home. I took my time looking into local gyms and I’m so glad I came across Square One. The equipment is excellent, with some fantastic bits of kit that I’d never tried before. The gym has a great community feel and all the trainers and staff are friendly, welcoming & helpful. Aaron was the first team member I met when I joined, he showed me round and suggested kit I could use as I had an injury at the time. I played it safe and stuck to what I knew but I decided I wanted to gain confidence in using more equipment and enhancing my training ability and also go through a fat loss phase because I was uncomfortable in myself, and fallen out of good routine and habits. So I decided to ask Aaron to work with me, and I’m so glad that I did! Aaron created a structured plan tailored to me including getting to understand what I like/dislike, what works for me etc. Aaron has such a genuine desire to help and encourage his clients and has helped me achieve my fst loss goals (in fact we smashed it) in a consistent and healthy way, and helped me focus on rebuilding my healthier lifestyle and wellness habits. So Aaron thank you! I enjoyed the 12-week program so much, I’ve just started a new phase to focus on improvement and strength, and I’m so excited to see how this pans out!

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've been training with Aaron at Square One Gym and honestly, I couldn't be happier with the experience. Aaron is a brilliant personal trainer—knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. He's helped me get back into shape and feel more confident in my fitness journey. The gym itself is top-notch. The training facilities are some of the best I’ve seen, and the whole place has a great vibe—friendly, welcoming, and full of positive energy. Whether you're just starting out or looking to push your limits, Square One is the place to be. Highly recommend both Aaron & Sam and the gym to anyone looking to level up their fitness!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 gym would recommend to any one for any needs beginner or experienced

Fantastic experience: A slowly becoming less hidden gem...massive amount of kit across 3 levels. Very welcoming people as soon as you ask for an assist but will leave you be if you are dialled in.... Can look a little intimidating but the core ethos is 100% support of anyone in their orbit.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding Experience at Square One Gym I've been a member at Square One for about a month now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. This gym truly stands out, offering excellent facilities that cater to all fitness needs. Whether you're a weightlifting enthusiast or a cardio lover, you'll find top-notch equipment that is always well-maintained and readily available, even during peak hours. What impresses me most about Square One is the staff. They are all incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional. It's refreshing to see a team that genuinely cares about their members' fitness goals and is always willing to offer advice or support. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, making every visit enjoyable. The ambiance at Square One is also worth mentioning. The clean, modern design and spacious workout areas create a motivating environment where you can really focus on your fitness journey. Plus, it's fantastic to see an independent gym maintaining such a high level of quality, offering all the amenities one might expect from a corporate chain without losing that personal touch. In summary, Square One has exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're looking for a gym that combines excellent facilities with a welcoming atmosphere, look no further. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, state of the art gym equipment and lots of it and everyone is super friendly. I moved from Archers and pay the same as I was there (with the early bird membership) but the facilities on offer here are 100 times better plus better opening times, car park without the faff of having to get a permit and you never have to wait for equipment as there’s loads of racks and specialist equipment.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely everything you could want equipment wise spacious, friendly staff Sam showers café very impressed will definitely use again

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. I’ve been coming now a while and knew nobody when I joined. I’d been to all the local gyms but wanted to try something new in strongman just to keep my training fresh and exciting. Within days I was part of a group being welcomed by other members new and old alike. Being given tips and encouragement all the way and never made to feel awkward with not knowing a lot. So much kit for all types of fitness bodybuilding, hyrox, powerlifting, strongman , general keep fit. Unlimited classes included in membership, cafe area with table football to chill after sessions, supplements and physio available, state of the art machines not available in most commercial gyms. Would have given 6 stars if I could - awesome gym and community feel.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Friendly atmosphere, top of the line equipment, and caters to a wide variety of strength and training. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This is the first gym I have felt so welcomed and supported. I'm fairly new to training so felt a bit lost when I first came to train but I was shown how to use the equipment and advised what weights to use so I now know exactly what I need to do! Everyone is so helpful and happy to help and answer any questions. The gym is huge with so many pieces of equipment, the cardio section upstairs has guided training on screen so my 5 minute warm up cycle turned into 6 mile cycle around Argentina as it was so much fun!

Fantastic experience: Definitely not your average gym, the equipment is next level and caters for all different types of fitness. The staff are really friendly and welcoming so I felt completely at home from the outset. The cafe looked really good too so I’ll definitely be back to take advantage of that next time too. 10/10 highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best gyms I've used! Brillant facilities. Staff are fantastic, very approachable and make you feel like one of the team. Easily recommend 5*

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Got plenty of decent Gym80 equipment in there as well as a variety of strongman stuff that you don’t get anywhere else around here. Friendly vibe with all sorts of people in there. Nothing else like it in Hitchin or nearby, come and have a look, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I’ve returned to Square One after some time away and couldn’t recommend the new unit more. The amount and quality of kit available is top notch, and there’s a strong community feel that can’t be beaten. All types of training are catered for, be it strongman, weightlifting, Hyrox and more - and the wrestling training is top notch too. I’ve never been a super confident gym goer, through self esteem issues and a fear of a ‘gym environment’ - but that’s no issue at all here as everyone is welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great environment, great people. Starting out or more experience, great place to come train. Wrestling, Strongman, bodybuilding. Always exciting, lots of smiles!

Fantastic experience: This gym is the nuts! There is a great mix of plate loaded machines, cable machines, free weights and cardio machines. The gym80 equipment is a treat to use as well. On top of that, there is no shortage of squat racks/lifting platforms, and all sorts of strongman toys as well! You cant miss the massive wrestling ring either, that's something you don't get at every gym. The cherry on top for me is the Louis Simmons Westside barbel style reverse hyperextension machine. The staff have been welcoming from the day I started. Been helpful answering any questions I have had as well. All round 10/10 gym for me. Endless parking as well at that back, it's got a 2m height restriction on the car park. But there's spaces on the road for vans, so it's not a problem! And the top floor isn't even open yet, so it can only get better!!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 gym. Great community feel. Huge level up from the previous unit. Packed full of brand new kit to cater to all, from bodybuilding to strongman to powerlifting to hyrox etc. Classes, PTs and osteopath. Big cafe area. They’ve assembled a dream team of staff for this one with plenty of knowledge and experience. Really excited to train here in 2025

Fantastic experience: The new site is a huuggee upgrade! Gym80 equipment throughout, multiple racks and deadlifting platforms, varied cardio equipment and fantastic community environment. Classes for a range of fitness interests. Wrestling ring built and available for training too, excited to see the future for Square One!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic gym with equipment covering all forms of fitness, from treadmills all the way up to atlas stones. I've never before been part of such a warm and welcoming community of people who are all just looking to get stronger and fitter. The best gym around.

Fantastic experience: The new setup is absolutely top teir. The ground floor is full of free weights, plate loaded machines, power racks and strongman equipment. The first floor is well stocked with cardio and cable weight machines and the second floor has plenty of yoga gear and space for free movement. For me, though, it's not really about the kit, it's about the people. I'm a big fat lad who's struggled with my weight and image for years and gyms were my idea of hell until I started coming down to the old location. I've never experienced a fitness community that's so wildly supportive and encouraging and that community has carried over to the new place. All of the staff there are incredibly friendly and more than willing to help out if you're unsure what you're doing and the regulars are a social bunch who are normally more than happy to offer advice when it's wanted.
