Farmer Strong offers unique outdoor workouts for all fitness levels through mixed classes and 1:1 training. Enjoy training with friends and book as a group or book a class online. To take your training to the next level become a Farmer Strong Member. Having trained his whole life and competing in the Commonwealth games in 2018, when the pandemic hit, Team England Wrestler Charlie Bowling found himself having to adapt his workouts by utilising the equipment available on his family’s farm to maintain his strength and fitness levels. Charlie combined this equipment with his Personal Training and coaching sessions and from this the word spread and Farmer Strong was born. Whether your fitness journey has already started or you are just starting

Fantastic experience: I honestly can’t recommend Farmer Strong enough! If you’re thinking about joining, just do it and take the leap! I wish I had done it sooner. It can be so nerve wracking walking into a new gym but you don’t have to worry about that here. It’s the most welcoming, friendly, and supportive environment you will ever find. Everyone is encouraging, helps each other out which I have never experienced at any other gym. Regardless of ability, you will be well looked after here. Can’t thank Farmer Strong enough for what it has given me in only 2 months of joining, never looking back.

Fantastic experience: I can’t praise Farmer strong enough. The outdoor farm setup is unreal, but the team are the best, everyone's super supportive and pushes each other to give it their all. You can feel the positive, welcoming energy from the moment you start. If you're tired of the same old gym scene and want a place with a genuine sense of community, this is it. The 30 day trial with Farmer strong helped me so much as it gives you a taste of life on the farm without the big initial commitment and allows you to try out all the classes before deciding whether it’s for you or not - but once you start, you definitely won’t want to leave!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! Such a blessing to be able to train outdoors! The vibes are unmatched! No community like it everyone just shows up, works hard, and supports each other!! I’ve never been to a session and felt awkward or out of place! Super inclusive for all abilities! Workouts are well thought out and well planned! Get some really good strength sessions learning & improving technique! As well as some mega circuits pushing your limits and getting out your comfort zone! All whilst having good fun in the elements! More than just a workout you’re paying for! It’s the community xx

Adam Henders-Jones 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this place enough! I've never really enjoyed gym environments previously but that is definitely not the case at Farmer Strong. Charlie, Ross, Mary & Del are all great coaches who make you feel very welcome from the moment you join. Everyone is super friendly and I find myself really looking forward to the classes. It feels like a proper community and has filled a void created since giving up rugby a few years ago. The group sessions are great, really varied and challenging, also I'm finding myself able to push myself way further than if I was just doing it on my own. If you're in two minds about coming down, just take the plunge and do it, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: The best place!!! Charlie is so encouraging and welcoming, the support I've had since joining has been incredible and something you just don't get anywhere else. He's patient & takes the time to explain movements to me (over & over again sometimes, until i get it), & checks in with me if he's noticed I'm missing from sessions to make sure im ok.. you just don't get that anywhere else!! Training outdoors is so good for the brain aswell, it's a beautiful place, and everyone there is so lovely, no egos or competition. I've made so many friends and my training has come on loads in such a short time. It's like a playground for adults and I always have such a laugh when I'm there... Can't rate highly enough. Xx

Andrew Muscat 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Started at Farmer Strong in January on their reduced price introductory month offer, after the first few sessions I knew I'd be signing up to a regular monthly membership, the group training is the best group training vibe I've had since giving up playing rugby. Charlie, Mary and Del are ace at what they do, always there to correct your form, answer questions, encourage and push you to do your best. The members are mint too, no attitudes or egos, everyone helps eachother, there's good laughs and a bit of banter too. They also have events on the farm from wellness and meditation to fittest on the farm comps, which I've entered with a team of mates from the farm, honestly not got a bad word to say about the place, recommend it to everyone and anyone.

Stephen Bate 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I could not speak highly enough about Farmer Strong. The coaches, the community, the concept, the variety. In over 6 months of regular attendance, no two sessions have been the same. The sessions are very well planned and rotated, I’ve learned new skills at my own pace and I’ve never been as fit, even during previous years of long distance endurance training. If you want results, a laugh and a place where everyone leaves their ego at the door to support each other and get stuck in to a good workout - there’s simply no better place. Credit to Charlie, Mary, Del, Ross and Hollie - they do a fantastic job

Fantastic experience: Visited Farmer Strong today with a group of 50 public services students from St Helens college. Amazing set up with 2 great class takers.

Neil Robertson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say I’ve never met so many genuine people in one place since starting at Farmer Strong. The encouragement, support and the feeling of “togetherness” is unbelievable. There are people of all sorts of fitness levels, ages and backgrounds but when you’re there you feel included and respected. I’m feeling so much stronger, even though I can’t do all the exercises or complete some of them due to my weight. I absolutely love it. My nutrition has been shocking due to stress. I stress and punish (myself) eat. I eat sweet and less nutritious food but Farmer Strong is helping me because when I train I think “if I was a bit lighter or carrying less weight I’d be able to do more.” Farmer Strong is helping me build a better, more positive mindset….without even trying! Money can’t buy the formula that Farmer Strong has developed. It comes from people that run it and the people who train there.

We're glad that even though you may not be able to do all the exercises or complete them due to your weight, you still feel stronger and love being a part of our community. And we understand that nutrition can be challenging, especially during times of stress. We're here to support you and help you build a more positive mindset, without even trying.

We truly appreciate your feedback and recognize the value of the people who make Farmer Strong what it is. We're committed to providing a unique and special experience that money can't buy. Thank you for being a part of our family, and we look forward to continuing to support you on your fitness journey!

Louis Morris 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training here for over 3 years now and wouldn't want to train anywhere else. The friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable coaches and mix between state of the art & farm adapted equipment make the farm a really unique place. The daily classes created by Charlie are never the same and cater for everyone, no matter their training experience or fitness level. Everyone is also very welcoming and friendly and there is often social days outside of the gym to enjoy. I'd definitely recommend coming down to anyone considering it!

paige rowbottom 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a fantastic sense of community. I felt really welcome straight away, I always felt intimidated in a gym but at Farmer strong I'm never anxious to ask for help, and even if I don't get it the first 5 times, I feel supported until I can do it. The teamwork and motivation in the sessions is next level and I would recommend joining to any and everyone!

Hollie TAYLOR 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been at Farmer Strong since the very beginning, back then even with a limited facility and equipment, Charlie still managed to create an environment where I felt like I was part of something bigger. The workouts he created using his natural surroundings such as hay bales, tyres and water drums, was different to anything I'd ever done before and my strength improved week on week with each session. Being in the outdoors and training in all elements was never something that appealed to me, until I tried it, and now I could never imagine training in a conventional gym setting ever again. The workouts are planned daily and each one is unique and created with a clear focus in mind, each session has a clear and achievable target or goal that day. It's been amazing to watch the facility grow in both size and community, even better, is that as the membership list grows, we've still been able to maintain that small caring family environment. I've gained so many amazing friendships over the last couple of years, friends that understand how hard it is to train on a daily basis, while juggling work, children and other commitments, but also who know how important it is to get the work done and they'll push you to do so. The farm supports and encourages you to show up, day after day and work on being better, stronger and more resilient. To train hard, with a smile on your face, doing what you love with motivated and supportive people around you. I cannot recommend this place enough, for people of all ages, abilities and at all different stages in their journey, you'll be more than welcomed into the community.

Fantastic experience: Started on the Farmer Strong Intro just over a year ago. Always daunting & out of comfort zones when you go somewhere for the 1st time. Met with the friendliest welcome from all members and immediately Charlie came over to introduce himself & welcome us. What an experience! We caught the bug immediately - super friendly & safe environment. There really is no other place like it & I’ve been to a fair few conventional gyms and studios in my time. So unique with using equipment adapted from the farm and integrating its holdings is very special. My daughter loved to throw the tractors over. It’s great carrying beams around a field and especially fun jumping over hay bales. We’ve met very special people down at the farm & has become a way of life. Sessions now integrating hyrox training and other competitions for members to compete at. Everyone inspires and motivates each other - and more importantly encourages each other to do well. We relish in others succeed. Unless you experience it for yourself you can’t fully appreciate anyone’s comments. I’m over the moon for other family members to join and friends come down to join too. It’s a surreal environment and no where other matches. It’s a magical place to work on personal goals, get that uplift at the end of the day or to start the day off. Amazing for mental well being too. Will never be able to praise Charlie, the members and the location highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Been coming to Farmer Strong for a few months now and cannot imagine life without it. The best way to train surrounded by lovely people and coaches who know how to get the best out of you!! Cannot recommend enough

Leonne Forster 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to farmer strong since we were aloud to return to group training outdoors during covid and never left. It’s not that stereotypical “gym” environment where you feel out of place or like your being watched. The community that’s been made with all the members is one of the best I’ve come across, everyone is supportive and encouraging of each other and no one gets left behind in a session. The instructors are brilliant and it’s great to see a group of people of all abilities and backgrounds training together. I would and have recommended to so many people to come and try a class, and guarantee they come back more than once.

Lloyd Gordon 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Booked a private session here for me and the members of my gym. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough, a great set up, lots of unique and fun equipment and excellent coaches. Was great for team building and everybody loved it. All topped off with a BBQ at the end. Perfect.

Tim Marner 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: At Farmer Strong, it's not just about lifting weights or hitting the treadmill, it's like being part of a big, supportive family. Everyone is so warm and inviting; it feels like your second home. From the members to the staff, everyone contributes to this incredible atmosphere of encouragement and friendship. You're not just a face in the crowd, you're part of a tight-knit community where you truly belong. The connections I’ve made here are more than gym buddies; they’re genuine friendships that stick with you even after you leave the gym. It’s this sense of community that makes Farmer Strong more than just a workout spot, it’s a lifeline, a place where you're part of something bigger and more meaningful.

Fantastic experience: I've spent the last 6 months training at Farmer Strong a few times a week and I can honestly say I've never looked back. Not only has it taken my training and physical strength to the next level but I've made genuine friends for life. The atmosphere, community and effort that goes into the gym and workouts is next level. The training is nothing like I've ever done before from rope climb and flipping tyres to burpees in the mud and rain. There is something for everyone here and for people of all abilities. No regrets in joining!

Fantastic experience: When I first came down to Farmer Strong I didn’t know what to expect, but immediately felt the buzz about the place. I was looking to change my training into something more consistent with a strong community feel, and this is exactly that. Charlie and the rest of the coaches are absolutely top class and make you feel at home whether you are an experienced trainer or a beginner.

Fantastic experience: I had no experience what so ever of this form of training. I came down to my first session open minded but very much out of my comfort zone. Charlie and the members were so welcoming and understanding, demonstrating all exercises and happy to explain anything. Nothing is too much to ask here. You’re not only made welcome from the staff, the whole environment is so friendly and encouraging. Everyone supports one another and there is a fantastic ethos of respect for everyone putting in the work (from whatever their start point - it doesn’t matter, all that matters is that you’re getting it done!) The variety of sessions from the coaches is fantastic too, you’re always turning up to each session ready for something new which helps take your training onto a new level. I’d highly recommend farmerstrong and if you’re on the fence as to reaching out, do it, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible day down at farmer strong couldn’t rate it highly enough. Took 30 of our clients down who were looked after perfectly. Knowledgable trainers , professional and obviously incredible / amazing set up which was a breath of fresh air to train there (literally in the country side ha) If you have any sort of team it’s a no brainer or even individually go and check out one of their public classes Will be back asap

Fantastic experience: I booked privately for 14 of us from Crossfit Altrincham and it was great. We had fun warm up followed by a long team workout. The feedback from the group was really positive and Charlie even sorted us out with a BBQ afterwards. Will definitely go back!

Matthew Unsworth 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend farmer strong enough. Completely different to your average gyms and typical workout routines where you’re lifting weights without really knowing what you’re doing or sitting on cardio machines waiting for time to go by. Each class is easy to follow, well planned out and challenging to your own accord. Charlie is always on hand to help and always pushing each class to achieve their fitness goals.

Michael Almond 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Since starting farmer strong, I’ve never experienced a welcoming and safe training environment to be in. The way the gym is ran by Charlie and his team from how the equipment is set up and being shown true teamwork in every session, to creating a positive atmosphere with lots of support on and off training, in my personal opinion for anyone looking for a new place to join and train, I highly recommend Farmer Strong

Mary Axon-Smith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Farmer Strong from around October 2020 & I can’t recommend the place enough. If you’re just starting out with your fitness journey or you already enjoy training and want to mix it up, this is the perfect place. I’ve always loved exercise but never enjoyed the gym experience, found them quite daunting & boring, but at the farm you’re made to feel so welcome and part of the family straight away. The atmosphere there is unbeatable & I always look forward to going. Charlie is constantly working on how he can make the sessions even better & one of my favourite parts is that every single session there is something new whether it be new equipment or a new session layout or some way he’s incorporated a hay bale into a new workout! I’m incredibly grateful to Charlie & everyone there for pushing me each session & for the constant support throughout my fitness journey!

Darren McWalters 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. The concept, the set up, the home made equipment and the people make this a very unique place. It is different to anywhere else that I have ever trained. It's back to basics. Pure functional training - in the outdoors. Raw, authentic and inspiring. Everyone at the Farm was friendly, welcoming and encouraging. There were no egos, but loads of banter. A great group of people. All credit to Charlie and his team for putting this all together. The workout designs, coaching and motivation are spot on too.

Jenni Brennan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, such a great atmosphere, great people who are really friendly, helpful and have a laugh. A real group atmosphere while also working at your own pace and pushing yourself with the support of everyone around you. I joined on my own, I didn't know anyone, (I'm a shy person to), I had put loads of weight on and I hadn't trained for at least 5 years but the help and support without any judgement is something you don't really get anywhere else. Top class

Fantastic experience: I started my Farmer Strong journey in September 2021 and I am so glad that I did. The people are amazing, motivate you and make you feel so welcome. Its not like any other gym I have ever been to, the workouts are intense and push you to the limit but its so worth it!!!

Tom Beardsall 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can't speak highly enough of Farmer Strong. It's on another level to any other gym I've been to. Since starting 8 months ago, I've never been so consistent with my training, and never felt fitter or stronger. No two sessions are the same, they're suitable for all fitness levels but they always push you to your limits and you leave feeling incredible. The venue, the members and community at Farmer Strong make it special and keep you coming back for more!

Codie Munro 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to farmer strong for a year and half now never looked back from the first session I did everyone is lovely and friendly. Every workout you can do at any level you don't have to be super strong or fit to get involved that's why I love this place... Charlie is amazing at what he does and pushes you to your full potential... I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to train and have some fun too also has the BEST views in town

Alex Fowler 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to the farm for about a year now. Before starting training at the farm, I was your regular gym goer, using mostly free weights to train. Before that the last bit of regular intense exercise I was doing was over 10 years ago playing rugby. I was encouraged to come down to the farm to see what it was all about. I left that first session completely exhausted and felt like I had been put through my paces. I had honestly not completed a workout like that since my last bit of rugby training. I knew I was not going to stop after that. It took me a while to start joining the classes, it was not something I had ever really tried. Hard to understand why it took me so long to start them at the farm - no matter how long you have been going to the classes, you are always going to be supported by the people that go, no matter what stage you are in your fitness journey. Every session is something new and something to look forward to after a long day at work. Massive thanks to Charlie and the team at Farmer Strong.

Lisa Wharton 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love working out here. I've used quite a few gyms but I love working out doors and the views are great! I haven't completed the same workout twice and considering that I've been at 'the Farm' for 10 months going 4 times a week, that's impressive. The supportive feeling to constantly improve is just what I need and that feeling of community whereby we all encourage each other to focus on our achievements is invaluable. There is no judgement here, just hard work and lots of sweat and smiles!

Caroline Glover 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic place to either start your fitness journey or to improve it! It’s definitely not your average gym and that’s what makes it so special. The people who go there are lovely, friendly and welcoming. I’ve been going for about a year and no two classes are ever the same. It doesn’t matter how fit or strong you are, everything can be adapted to suit your ability. I highly recommend Farmer Strong!!!

Fantastic experience: I'm SO HAPPY to have found Farmer Strong!!! I love working out but hate dingy, smelly & clicky gyms. Farmer Strong couldn't be further from that!! The people are so lovely, Charlie is an absolute babe and makes you feel comfortable from the word go, and the scenery is just STUNNING!! No matter your fitness level, no body is made to feel like they don't belong. It's helped so much with my mental health and very quickly become a highlight of my week. Thank you Farmer Strong

Fantastic experience: Quality sessions always run really well and different each time. Charlie is friendly and approachable. I feel stronger and fitter since starting farmer strong! Would recommend to anyone

Abbie Foster 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Since starting at farmer strong it has completely changed my outlook on fitness. I used to workout purely to look good and I used to celebrate feeling ‘trimmer’. During summer (after the first lockdown), I started PT with Charlie to get my fitness level back up and because it is outdoor it made me feel more comfortable during the pandemic. Farmer strong has taught me that fitness isn’t about looking good, it’s about getting stronger, team work, being challenged and fun! Which has made keeping up with fitness more sustainable. I cannot recommend enough- everyone is so friendly.

Mat Moorcroft 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely can't recommend this place enough. Fantastic alternative to your standard gym and without all the egos as well. Friendly members make any newcomers welcome. . . Group workouts and everyone motivates each other . Highly recommend
