A Gym in Crouch End for Strength and Wellness

Most people join a gym to get stronger and to feel better while they’re at it. Lifting builds the strength and slower movement keeps your body working well around it. A gym in Crouch End that covers both saves you from juggling several memberships.

We run two studios in Crouch End. Studio 1 on Coleridge Road is home to hot yoga, hot Pilates and arm balances. Studio 2 on Crouch End Hill hosts weights, HIIT, barre, reformer and spinning. Together they give you a full week of training under one name.

Strength training in Crouch End

Our Lift class is a pure weights session. There is no cardio and the impact stays low. We keep the numbers small so your coach can watch your form and step in when something needs fixing. You pick the weight and your coach helps you judge when it’s time to add more. That makes it a good fit for first-timers and for experienced lifters.

Classes that build strength

Weights are one route. Barre and reformer are both low impact so they build control and endurance without putting much load on your joints. We also teach Hot Pilates in Studio 1 where the heated room makes every movement feel harder than it looks from the outside. Arm balances build upper body strength and balance. Hot yoga adds flexibility and a calmer head.

Cardio days have a home too. HIIT and spinning in Studio 2 raise your heart rate while the weights and Pilates sessions build the strength underneath. Most members mix two or three of these across a week.

Community keeps you showing up

Training alongside other people changes how consistent you are. You turn up because the class is on and your coach expects you. Some of our members have trained with us for more than ten years and describe the studios as a happy place and a second family. We wrote about why that works in our post on fitness community in London.

Our coaches run every session with the same aim. We want you to leave a class feeling better than when you walked in. That goes for beginners as much as regulars and we scale every class to your level.

Strength and wellness

A heavy lifting session leaves you tired in a good way. The next day a yoga or Pilates class lets your body stretch out and settle. Swapping between the two across a week keeps your training steady and gives you a reason to come back after a tough few days.

Studio 2 takes care of the small stuff too. Towels are complimentary and clip-in cycling shoes are provided. There are showers too so you can train before work or on the way home.

Getting started

Start your first week with one strength class and one slower class. A Lift session followed by Hot Pilates is a good pairing because the second class works the muscles the first one tired. Choose a class pack or membership on our Buy page and book your first sessions from there.
