The room
Walk in nervous.
Leave a regular.
Most people put off the gym because of the gym, not the exercise. Ours is a friendly, non-judgemental room where everyone gets a welcome, whatever level they’re starting from.

Independent gym · Gloucester Road, Horfield
An independent gym on Gloucester Road, open to everyone. Your first day is free, then £7 a day or £28 a month.
Open 8am to 9pm weekdays, 10am to 8pm weekends. No pressure, ever.
● Why people stay
Training lifts your mood, clears your head and leaves you feeling strong. We built the place around that. Not around mirrors.
The room
Most people put off the gym because of the gym, not the exercise. Ours is a friendly, non-judgemental room where everyone gets a welcome, whatever level they’re starting from.
The deal
Our monthly plans run a month at a time. We’d rather earn next month than tie you in for twelve. It keeps us honest, and it keeps the floor friendly.
The extra
Monthly members train at Severnside Fitness Hub as well. Same card, second room, nothing more to pay. It runs alongside the gym here rather than replacing it, so up to one visit in five can be at Severnside.
● Memberships
A free first day, three memberships and two student prices. Every price on this page is the price you pay.
A Free trial, not a ten-minute taster. Come and go as often as you like, and make your mind up afterwards. After that a day costs £7, or join whenever you’re ready.

One per person, first visit onlyOff-peak membership starts at about 92p a day — less than a flat white on Gloucester Road. Full access starts at £35 a month, and the monthly plans keep rolling until you decide to stop them.
£28a month · 1 month term
A lower price without sacrificing your fitness goals. Built around weekday daytimes and full weekends.
£35a month · 3 month term
Full access at the lowest monthly rate, if you already know you’re in for the season.
£40a month · 1 month term
Full access on the shortest commitment we do. One month at a time, for as long as it suits you.
Severnside · fair use Severnside Fitness Hub runs alongside your membership here, not in place of it. In any calendar month, visits to Severnside must not exceed 20% of your total visits — about one in five. Where that limit is exceeded, access to Severnside may be suspended.
● Students
£2509 months · paid once
Cash only
Full access, one payment, nothing to remember. The £250 is paid in cash at the gym, and you verify with a valid student ID at signup.
£32a month · 1 month term
Monthly rolling at the under-23 rate, if you’d rather keep it month to month than pay for the year up front.
Verifying Sign up as normal, then send your student ID — and proof of age for the under-23 rate — to [email protected]. We sort it from there.
● Your first visit
The hardest rep is the front door. So here’s exactly what happens when you come through it, with nothing left to psych yourself up for.
We’re open 8am to 9pm on weekdays and 10am to 8pm at weekends. Use the code from your account on the door for your free day, or join online on the way over.
About five minutesRacks, machines, cardio, and room to work it out. Ask any member anything. It’s that sort of room.
As long as you likeEnjoyed it? You came for a day of training, not a sales pitch, and it cost you nothing. Roll onto monthly whenever you’re ready, or don’t. The door stays open.
Zero pressure● Straight answers
You’ll blend in by your second visit. Our members run from first timers to people who’ve been lifting twenty years, and the tone gets set by the ones who say hello, not the ones with headphones in. Want a hand getting going? Message us and we’ll point you at a plan before you come in.
Off peak and monthly rolling both run on a one month term, so you can stop them from one month to the next. The £35 plan asks for three months, and that’s the longest commitment we offer. Nothing here runs for a year.
If you train weekday daytimes or at weekends, off peak at £28 is the cheapest way in. If you want the gym at any hour and already know you’ll stick with it, three months rolling at £35 is the lowest monthly rate for full access. If you’d rather keep it loose, monthly rolling at £40 runs a month at a time. Not sure? Take the free day first.
No. Sign up first so the code is in your account, then turn up during opening hours and use it on the door — that’s your free day sorted. We’re open 8am to 9pm Monday to Friday, and 10am to 8pm at weekends. If you’d rather have a look round first, come in and take your time.
