The Stronghold is the best gym I have ever attended. Great variety of classes, incredibly knowledgeable trainers, a super inviting and non judgemental environment and completely inclusive. Such an epic team. Tom and Dave have create something so special.

Don’t delay, join today! Dave,Tom and Kylie have been really welcoming to me and their coaching is top notch. The gym is super clean and tidy and is a great space to work out in. All the equipment is new and well maintained. There are a good variety of classes on offer to suit schedules and training goals. It’s the small details that count and I was impressed with the toiletry boxes with all the essentials you might need in the men’s loos. Keep up the great work guys :)

This is such an amazing gym, the owners/ coaches Dave and Tom are both extremely knowledgable, professional and genuinely lovely people. The atmosphere is so friendly and easy going, whether I use open gym or attend the classes, you feel welcomed by everyone there.

I love The Stronghold Gym. And, for me, the gym is totally not a natural, or comfy space, I'd never been to one before joining Stronghold. I attended my first class having no idea that I was about to experience Olympic Lifting (I hadn't read the info properly) and with a lot of focused support from the coach Tom, I started to get the hang of it and was soon hooked. The gym offers a fantastic range of classes, at a variety of times through the day and the coaching is second to none. Functional Fitness has literally stretched me in every direction, and the Conditioning classes offer a great, intense workout, which is fab for runners like me, providing great all round conditioning in a group, which is always far more motivating than a solo slog. Contrary to my previous opinion about gyms, I am always made to feel welcome and supported at Stronghold by both coaches and fellow members. I won't be going anywhere else! Thanks Tom and Dave for your vision and for seeing that through into a consistently enjoyable and impressive gym to be part of.

I recently joined The Stronghold gym having started PT sessions with Tom. The facilities are excellent, the coaches very experienced and there is definitely something for everyone. I have been a member of gyms for years and this is the first one where I feel the coaches really want to work with you as an individual. I am a middle age female so not into the “macho gym thing” but I feel comfortable and valued as a member. Tom, Dave and the team are constantly striving to improve everyone’s experience and meet individual’s needs and expectations. The classes that I attend are small, form is constantly checked and I feel challenged! Very happy to highly recommend The Stronghold gym.

The stronghold is a fantastic gym for all ages and abilities. It is a very welcoming environment and the coaches are very experienced and knowledgable.The new premises are huge with smart new changing rooms and lots of high quality equipment. Keep up the good work Dave, Tom and the team. You have created a great functional fitness community.

I am not a gym lover but I do enjoy the Master Classes at Stronghold gym. The classes are well pitched for a slightly older age group but allow for individual progression. Alex, ADM Fitness, and Kylie are excellent trainers both bringing their different strengths to our sessions. The gym has a friendly atmosphere and the trainers are welcoming and encouraging.

Stronghold is among the top two gyms I've ever worked out at in my life. Well thought out, high end programming (12 week cycles, with test weeks at the end to check progress) with separate strength and conditioning sections, with a range of fun classes without losing the emphasis on technique and safety. Tom and Dave are absolutely top notch, and leave you in no doubt about how much they care. Easily the best gym in Cheltenham.
