After 9 months of boring training for what turned out to be a disappointing half marathon, my partner and I were determined to do something different with fitness! After much scouring, we found The Stronghold and we’ve never looked back. Tom, Dave and the Team are all incredible coaches, who truly understand how to get the best out of people.I’ve never been made to feel like I’m not working hard enough, that I’m not capable or that I’m wasting my time. In fact, the complete opposite - they’ve pushed me in the right way to help me along what is a fitness journey for me.Within 3 months, my mobility, endurance and strength has improved significantly.Yesterday I went for my first 10k in 4 months- completely smashed it, a 3 min PB! Feeling stronger and more capable 💪I used to mock people who always talked about the gym, but now I can’t stop telling people about The Stronghold!

Never in my life have I trained at a gym where I felt I truly belonged. From being coached to perfection to lift ungodly amounts of weight, to drawing on the motivation from the depths of my soul to throw down with my fellow fitness pioneers and take an assault bike to pound town. What a place. Train here.

Stronghold is an outstanding gym, made better by the atmosphere of the members. Never fail to have a great session and a laugh with the coaches too. The programming is unique and well rounded. This gym goes above and beyond

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 🙂

On the face of it, it’s a simple formula for a great gym: professional + knowledgeable + effective + nurturing + fun. However, it only looks simple because the Stronghold manages it so successfully! Great gym.

I joined the Stronghold having never trained at a functional fitness facility before. It’s an extremely welcoming environment with very professional and attentive coaching in a small group setup for classes. A great mix of challenging yourself with fun and varied workouts while lifting in a safe way with proper technique.Tom , Dave and the coaches are always happy to give additional advice and guidance alongside the diligent programming and would recommend to anyone in the area to come down and try it out.

I always come away from my sessions feeling positive and motivated which is a testament to the team and the culture they are building at the Stronghold.If you want to train to build a healthy and sustainable lifestyle and want to feel supported by great people who know what they are talking about, then I would highly recommend The Stronghold.

Both PT sessions and group sessions are great.Dave and Tom are both very professional and take the time in classes to make sure everyone is getting an element of personalised tuition whilst still keeping an eye on the rest of the class.

Fantastic training of staff for school and PE. Both instructors were helpful and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend anyone to use but especially educational staff. The facilities were ideal and we will be developing the links already made.

The Stronghold is the best gym in Cheltenham . The coaches have incredible knowledge and experience, and are able to easily explain technique/workouts in a way which makesyou feel like you will know what you are doing when it comes to then performing the movement/exercise.Everyone at the gym is friendly, and the coaches really do care about you achieving your goals and also enjoying yourself. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Stronghold to anyone.
