The Engine House Gym

Fantastic experience: It’s been over ten years since I attended the Engine House Gym on a regular basis. So I decided in August 2025 to renew my visits and Quentin and James have not disappointed. Not your “bog standard” exercises that you get at the franchise outlets, but a specific programme of exercises designed for you. Forty-five minutes just flew by and the lads made it enjoyable but effective. Professional, knowledgeable and 100% focused in me. Looking forward to next session on Friday. Just signed up for two personal sessions a week.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, really friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Superbly-equipped, with a great wealth of knowledgeable and friendly coaches. Can’t think of any way it could be made better.

Fantastic experience: In some gyms you get good equipment, in others, good atmosphere or maybe excellent coaching. In the Engine House, you get all the above and more. The home of StrongFirst, the school of strength in the area!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, I've been attending for 12 months now and have no intention of stopping.

Fantastic experience: Really great bunch of people. The facility itself is very good, also unique. Loads of equipment, and always space to book yourself in. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I very much recommend the Engine House gym having tried a few others in the local area. The group sessions are great! The workouts are varied and everyone is friendly and inclusive. I like how small the sessions are and how the trainers, Quentin and James, focus on technique as well as making sure it's fun. They offer a two week trial which is a good way of making sure it's for you, and not many gyms offer this. I've now been signed up for about a month and look forward to going which is rare for me... thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, recently guided me to a kettlebell press PB and there seems to be some potential to get better again with a bit more training. Lotsa kettlebells and other gear all along the walls.

Fantastic experience: The gym has an atmosphere of a 'gym family' where everyone supports each other with dedicated trainers. I've gained improved confidence, fitness levels and general feeling of well-being. The Engine House is a safe place - and no matter where you are on your fitness journey, no-one judges you and you are well supported by everyone in a gym which can caters for all.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this gym for over a year now and I genuinely gutted I didn't discover it sooner. I've been going to the big chain gyms for more than 15 years and I will never, ever go back to them. The Engine House offers personalised training sessions in small groups that are different every time I attend. This means the normal 'routine' of going to the gym and doing the same thing over and over again is eliminated and I genuinely look forward to going - especially as everyone is so friendly. Give this place a visit - I know they let people come for a free session before you have the opportunity to join!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend this gym highly enough - all the trainers are kind, encouraging and so knowledgeable. It’s small and not at all intimidating and the personal service you get from The Engine House can not be matched in any of the bigger gyms.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. Can't fault it at anything

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and friendly gym. Highly recommended. Very supportive and great fun!

Fantastic experience: Simply fantastic, good programming, coaching very friendly staff highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Last session this morning of 2018 Just wanted to thank Quentin, Katy, James, Keith and Colin and every one we train with for a fantastic year It’s not just a gym but a family and a happy place A family that supports local charities whilst brining our community together. 2019 is going to be full of GAINZ!! (Thank you Morgan) and more fun But NO MORE DICE please

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, feels great to lift heavy stuff under the wooden beams! The guys really know what they are doing and have created the perfect place to make people strong, healthy and happy.

Fantastic experience: We have been going to this gym for over two years now, despite never lasting anywhere else for more than six months. It's because it's unlike any other gym and not just because of its location - it's more like a friendly exercise club where you get personal training with every workout from great staff. There's loads of advice and help and it's made a huge difference to us physically and mentally. The only gym you always look forward to going to - no more guiltily forcing yourself to go and exercise. Of course, you still work hard, sweat a lot and feel those muscles burn, but it feels good and it's enjoyable! We can't recommend the Engine House enough.

Fantastic experience: Great instruction, great place to work out

Fantastic experience: 5 Star..
