Went to my first class at Strong + Bendy yesterday and loved it, it was the best kettlebells class I've been to and I can't wait to go back. Faye wrote the reps clearly on the mirror so there was never confusion about what to do next. She explained the techniques in detail and I left the class feeling like I've given all I can! Lovely studio and everyone was very friendly.

The team at Strong and Bendy are SO great! They make the classes so fun and varied, and you can seriously feel the results (ouch!) The studio is fab - Brilliant little find in the coolest corner of London. LOVE it!

We went to a Sunday morning yoga flow class and had an incredible experience. Such knowledgeable and kind staff. The class was amazing - really is for all levels with clear instructions for beginners and a pace that’s great if you’re more advanced. Can not recommend highly enough!

As someone new to exercise classes, I've found the instructors create a really fun, friendly, welcoming atmosphere. But make no mistake they work you hard! Been a few times now and can always feel the DOMS in all the right places the next day. Looking forward to my next session!

Best studio in Hackney without a doubt. Rhian and Faye have done an awesome job with Strong & Bendy. Hands down my favourite thing to do in the week is to attend a class here. The classes are varied, welcome all fitness levels and most importantly, they are fun!

WOW! What an amazing gym. I have been travelling for close to a year now, and have joined many "nice gyms" but I have never felt more welcome or challenged than I have been at classes at Strong+Bendy in the past week. The gym itself is wonderful, clean and organized. Instructors are all lovely and make you feel included and valued no matter what shape you are in, offering lots of options during classes. Wonderful community Strong+Bendy has built, I highly recommend the Pilates Pop as well as the Lift+Row. I'm sure the other classes are wonderful, I just haven't had the chance to visit (during my week trip to London). Can't wait to come back, thanks Strong+Bendy for such a fantastic experience.

Samantha the yoga instructor was really motivating, gave clear instructions, always gave alternative options for all levels and the flow was really engaging. I recommend the power yoga with her, and will be back.

Strong and bendy is the best gym in east london - so empowering! It makes working out fun and accessible.

I'm a self-confessed exercise-phobe and was really anxious about going to classes. Everyone I've met and spoken to at Strong+Bendy has been incredibly supportive, kind and understanding and I can't recommend them enough! Special shout-out to Chloe for going the extra mile as well ❤️

I absolutely love working with Jermain. He is incredibly informed and professional. He knows his stuff!I am a professional aerial coach and I am thrilled to have him in Charleston! We need this type of fitness offering here. He is sweet and and empathetic. A great coach. If you are looking to become stronger, more flexible and mobile he is your guy.

Everything has been great so far! Great classes in a superb environment with amazing people. What else can you ask for? I've been trying to go back to sports/exercising for a long time and I'm super happy I found Strong&Bendy.

Strong + Bendy is such a lovely studio with amazing instructors and a variety of classes. What I love the most is that I never feel intimidated or out of place when I've been a beginner in a new class as there's a positive and welcoming atmosphere whenever I go! Thanks, Strong +Bendy!

Omg this gym is BOMB! It has a gorgeous & spacious outside exercise garden which makes training here a total pleasure and really adds an extra mood-boost to your workout. Beautiful in the sun and lit by super cute fairy lights at night! Classes push you but the instructors are all really friendly & welcoming and make sure no-one feels out of their depth. If you're looking for a new outdoor group fitness space you've found it! <3

Brilliant class and great workout. Very knowledgeable instructors and super friendly. I'm nearly 7 months pregnant and Faye (Mouse) gave me appropriate modifications during Pop Pilates and Kettlebells. Thanks Strong and Bendy!

A gem of positivity in Hackney Wick. LGBTQ friendly and body positive fitness studio, that welcomes everyone! No matter what level of fitness you are, instructors will make sure you get the best work out for your level. I have tried almost all the classes, and I have to say, that each work out feels like having fun, rather than really hard work. All of the instructors are amazing, very friendly and welcoming. After every workout or yoga session, I am looking forward to the next one. Thank you so much ❤️

Passionate owners and enthusiastic, sensitive instructors! A lot of effort has been put into making the gym a beautiful space that also has a homely and inclusive atmosphere. My experience at Strong and Bendy has been really fun and rewarding, I look forward to every class!

Absolutely love coming to S&B it’s just a really nice place to be. Everyone so friendly, and instructors are so helpful and make you feel really comfortable even if you know nothing about fitness - which I didn’t when I starting attending! Never thought I’d enjoy exercise but now I do thanks to S&B!

Great classes, very friendly

Strong + Bendy is a place you can feel completely comfortable in your own skin and ability. All the instructors try to get the best out of you in every class but also respect that everyone has different limits.

Attended the Battle Beats class with Rhian yesterday and it was great! I really liked the studio - it is quite compact but has great equipment (silks, battle ropes, punch bags, TRX straps, etc). Really enjoyed the class - was very effective but also varied and fun. The atmosphere was very energetic and Rhian was a great instructor, keeping our energy up throughout and keeping us motivated. Thanks Strong and Bendy! I’ll be coming back and recommending it to others.

Strong & Bendy is the best!!!!!!! FACT. Working out under the most beautiful tree outside in just good for the soul, can not wait for winter classes! Every class is fun and makes working out enjoyable and not a chore.

Love this place. Such a nice vibe, really friendly. And really brilliantly decorated! Classes are varied and options are always given if its too hard or if you're injured. Excellent 🤩

Great gym. I went a few times during my visit to London. I got a great workout in their row/ strength class and also a good midday stretch in their yoga class. The instructor are helpful, kind, motivating. There feels like a strong sense inclusivity which I loved. Will definitely return when I am in London.

A really great place, I can't recommend highly enough! I've never found a gym like this before which celebrates everyone, no matter your starting ability and really wants you to do well and have fun with it. The instructors are all fantastic and very supportive and the space is great. I always look forward to a class, always leaves me feeling on a positive note!

For years I've struggled to find a gym or fitness classes that were right for me. That was until 5 months ago when I tried out class at Strong and Bendy. Then did another. Then another and now I consider this the best studio in Hackney. A great selection of varied classes offering everything from boxing, yoga, row and pilates all led by supportive and dynamic teachers. I'm finally enjoying working out and the change in my body and confidence in its ability over these last few months is beyond words. Thanks S&B!

The most fun class I’ve ever done. Caught myself smiling through the exhaustion half way through the combat cardio class just because I was having so much fun. A really unique, inclusive experience, with different options depending on your fitness level and ability. Something for absolutely everyone!

I have been coming to Strong and Bendy for about a year and a half now and I can’t express how wonderful it is. Welcoming and inclusive, it’s great for anyone beginning their fitness journey to the more experienced. I really have become stronger and bendier :) Gary the dog who is often in Rhi’s classes is an added bonus ⭐️

The best! The classes are varied and are a good mix of challenging and more relaxed options, the instructors are really friendly, and the gym itself is a really nice space.

I organised my friend's hen / bachelorette party at Strong + Bendy and it was INCREDIBLE! Rhian (the owner) was so attentive from the moment I reached out - she took care to ask about themes and preferences for the activities, which resulted in a meticulously planned 2-hour sports day extravaganza! Our group of 13 had SO much fun - we laughed so much and left the gym with incredible memories :)

The best place for pilates (and other classes!) In hackney. The instructors, especially Rhian and Katy, are so so lovely and they had put my anxiety to ease at the beginining. Julia is absolutely wonderful too and helped me a lot with my membership. Love love this place and so glad I finally found somewhere I can workout and have fun. Deffo recommend!!

This studio is very special. I always feel very welcome, and classes are all so fun, inclusive, (yet challenging). Sam leads the most wonderful yoga practices. Pop pilates, dancing and TRX are also such good classes!

Hands down my favorite place to work out! It's a great mix of fun, friendly and fitness. They give a great balance of keeping you safe BUT also pushing you to do your best. I was understandably a little nervous going back after lockdown but they're doing a fabulous job of keeping you and everyone safe. Covid secure measures are firmly in place, everyone is socially distancing and equipment is fully cleaned before AND after use. Thank so much for keeping us fit and and safe!

I’ve wanted to try out Strong + Bendy for nearly a year, and finally did this weekend. I’m so glad I did! Such a beautiful, tranquil space with warm and welcoming instructors. Classes are fun and definitely super effective! I can’t wait to come back.

Have just discovered this lovely fitness studio! Attended the kettlebell class and was a bit nervous as have never used weights before but I needn't have worried! Rhian guided me through at a great beginners pace that was challenging without being overwhelming. The pop pilates is great fun too and the lunchtime yoga sessions are really calming and restorative. The studio itself is beautiful with an outdoor garden training space. Looking forward to coming back :)

Quite simply, Strong & Bendy is awesome. The studio is light, bright and open plan and the classes are fun as well as being a full-on work-out. Rhian and Mouse are always super positive and helpful - the atmosphere and growing community they have created is second to none, meaning you always leave feeling great.

Fantastic fitness studio!

I look forward to Cardio Beats and Kettlebell Cardio every week. The workouts are fun but tough and all of the instructors are friendly and inspiring.

I don’t know what I’d do without strong and bendy in my life! It is the most inclusive, fun and friendly place I have ever trained. Mouse and Rhi have created an exercise studio which caters for everyone. The variety of classes on offer is amazing; there are classes suitable for all fitness levels and; the facilities are beautiful. It’s a 10 out of 10 from me!

Fantastic studio - Rhian and Faye are so welcoming and make the classes really fun and enjoyable - you'll still get a serious work out though! Love the kettlebells and pop pilates classes!

You will not find a better place to work out in East London. The studio is fantastic and the owners, Mouse and Rhian are great motivators, their own personal achievements will inspire you on!

The most fun and magical place to exercise! The instructors are all so lovely, motivating and inspiring and really helped me after a bad injury. An added bonus is the potential of a brew in between classes, Percy pigs after and occasional appearances from dogs <3

Strong + Bendy is an amazing little fitness studio right in the heart of Hackney Wick. Classes are varied and lots of fun, and the instructors are super friendly. Going to the gym has never been so enjoyable! Post lockdown they have taken safety and cleanliness very seriously and I feel 100% safe, at both the indoor and outdoor classes.

I love this gym, I have been coming since they opened, Rhi and Faye are both super friendly and super professional, the space indoors and outside is amazing, I can't think of anywhere else that comes close to their total experience. They have created a great community, its a fun loving place, where you are pushed just the right amount, I love coming here to hang out as much as I do to work out. They have also done a great job during Covid at marking out spots so that everyone is distanced and they are super focused on cleaning everything so I feel really safe. They have a great mix of classes, from yoga through to battle ropes body weight, I couldn't recommend it enough to anyone who wanted somewhere new to work out.

I’ve never felt so welcomed to a gym in my life!! The instructors are incredible!! The outdoor space is also one of my favourites in Hackney 💛💛💛

So much fun! So much pain! Mainly it's "good pain"... amazing instructors, really considered and well delivered classes and a super friendly bunch of people. Can't recommend highly enough - especially when it comes to Pop Pilates.

Beautiful and welcoming studio! Most classes (including the epic battle ropes) are held outside in their lovely sheltered garden and all at a generous social distance. All kit is cleaned thoroughly before and after each use, with Faye and Rhi taking such care keeping everyone comfortable and safe. Can’t recommend enough 🙂

Went there to Flow yoga class and loved it.

Rhian is an amazing instructor with a really good all-round class in a great studio. I'm now hooked on pop pilates...

I loved this class! Strong by Zumba is a real discovery for me, I usually do regular zumba - this is very different, a lot tougher, no dancing, but good pace, the intensity goes up and down throughout the class, still really well matched to music. Rhian was so lovely and welcoming, highly recommended. The studio is lovely too, huge glass windows overlooking the garden 😊😊😊

Fab kettlebell class - highly recommend 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent classes and great community vibe. The instructers are great and friendly.

Rhian and Faye are incredible! So lovely but also make sure you're working as hard as you're personally able to. My main classes are on Monday's and even after a year+ of going, I never know what to expect as Rhian switches things up all the time. I have felt such a positive difference in my strength and overall fitness since joining here :)

Fantastic! Have never worked so hard and had so much fun. Such a community feel. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant classes, excellent instruction; whilst familiar with pilates I'd never taken a yoga class and loved my first one here. Highly recommended.

What a fabulous experience all around. I was made to feel like family from the first connection. The Yin class was completely everything I needed to relax and ease into my visit to London. The studio space is beautifully maintained, artistic, easy to find and welcoming on every level. They also offer much more than yoga, I recommend calling and asking if you have any curiosities about what would suit you best. Namaste 🙏🏻✨♥️

Warm, friendly work out with a great group of people- instructors are professional and considerate- really motivating. Love the mix of classes on offer! Rhian is the best.

Such a great atmosphere at Strong + Bendy that is hard to find in gyms and classes in London! They work you hard, but you have lots of fun during the process! Have made some great friends there and have seen quick results from attending regularly. Would highly recommend.
