Implexus Gym

What a wonderful and inspiring gym, providing a safe and professional environment that allows me to focus on my personal strength building goals. I have an amazing trainer; the experienced and super knowledgeable Gen who is able to work out bespoke sessions. I really enjoy the atmosphere as I am able to feel at total ease … what a wonderful find …thank you Implexus Gym.

5 Stars. Frankly this might be generous to the gym, since half of what makes it great is me being there, and the other half is the mono.<br><br>Pros: Best equipment I've seen. For powerlifting and strongman. Also me. Also, allegedly, the mono, which at this point trains harder than most of the members.<br><br>Staff are warm and welcoming, somehow even friendlier than the strongman crowd, which I didn't think was possible until I walked in and personally raised the room's collective mood by several degrees, measurable with instruments. Respect is given freely from day one, presumably because they could sense main character energy on arrival, possibly picked it up on a scanner. Eight years in and I feel fully part of the community, arguably load-bearing, arguably the reason the roof hasn't caved in.<br><br>They talk up their community on social media, and it checks out, especially the week I showed up, which coincidentally was also the week engagement doubled. They make time for everyone, no exceptions, unless you're a bit odd, make people uncomfortable, or try to strongarm your way into every conversation five minutes after walking in the door. Say hello first. Basic manners, works every time, ask me how I know, ask the two guys with tattoos how I know, ask the mono, it knows too.<br><br>Nobody minds being asked about tested vs untested federations. Ask away, they'll happily discuss gear, whoosh, and everything in between like it's small talk about the weather, or the mono. In fact, hang around long enough and you might go untested by osmosis, gains by association, no PEDs required, just proximity to those two guys with tattoos who hang around the mono like it's a shrine. Whatever it takes, right babe. Iron sharpens iron, apparently even the enzymes, apparently even the mono.<br><br>Motto is "lifting through science," though nobody's actually seen a lab coat or a peer-reviewed study in eight years, possibly because the mono ate it. Brought up joints and progressive overload once, got a shrug and a "yeah, just add weight to the bar." Turns out the science is smart programming, showing up, and your training partner yelling at you not to be shit, Joe. Groundbreaking stuff. Someone should publish it, probably me, possibly the mono, it's earned a co-author credit by now.<br><br>Complimented two women training that morning, asked if they compete. Nice chat, exchanged numbers, one of them reportedly filed for divorce that same week, presumably overwhelmed by my raw magnetism, the other reportedly joined a monastery, unrelated, allegedly. Unconfirmed, but I choose to believe both. Great community. Thumbs up. They should really be thanking me. And the mono.<br><br>5 stars. Great gym, better people, best me, honorable mention the mono. Form over ego, always. Mostly mine. Some of it the mono's.<br><br>(This review is satire, it's a great gym). Pic unrelated.

I went to my first beginner strongman/strongwoman class at Implexus and honestly couldn’t recommend it more.<br><br>I was nervous beforehand because I’d never done anything like this before and wasn’t sure what “beginner” really meant, but I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived. The class was clear, supportive and genuinely fun, with everyone encouraging each other and cheering each other on.<br><br>Andy was brilliant, really welcoming and patient with all my very specific beginner questions. Everyone was kind, clear and great at demonstrating, and everyone I spoke to was friendly and encouraging.<br><br>I’ve tried quite a few activities over the years, including ice hockey, CrossFit, running and hot yoga, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt so comfortable so quickly. I came away feeling stronger, more confident and genuinely excited to come back.<br><br>It’s a really special, friendly place and a great option if you’re curious about strongman/strongwoman training but feel nervous about taking the first step.<br><br>I completely echo what another review here says. It's almost too good to review because you want to keep it for yourself. But sharing is caring so please accept this recommendation and try it out.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere at Implexus hit different. Huge shout-out to Andy — absolute legend for stopping mid-set to give me a full tour and a proper warm welcome.<br><br>First session and I was practically giddy eyeing up all the equipment on offer. The coached strongman/strongwoman sessions are something I'm genuinely buzzing about.<br><br>Honestly - I'd tell you to get yourself down here… but I kind of want to keep this gem to myself😂.<br><br>Can't wait to be back.

Best gym in Leeds

Immediatley after entering this gym you feel the motivational, old-school atmosphere that modern franchise facilities lack. This isn't the place to do a bums and tums class and go through the motions, it's a dedicated training sanctuary. The equipment is a highlight—they feature specialised, heavy-duty gear (think vintage machines and unique barbells) that serious lifters crave and you simply won't find anywhere else.<br><br>​But the real secret weapon, and what makes this gym truly unique, is the Canine Crew! Having well-behaved dogs on the premises adds an incredible, comforting, and uniquely friendly vibe, this was my personal highlight. They are the best motivation, offering a happy greeting and instantly distracting you from the trauma of the days at work.<br><br>The only negative is the parking as it is very limited , however this cant be helped.<br><br>I will be returning regually and hope to compete in their strongman events.<br>​

This gym has been my happy place for over a year now. I'm autistic so I've struggled with gyms before but the environment is perfect for me. I've been able to just lock in and do what I need to without any complications or discomfort even when it is relatively busy there.<br><br>Its clearly a very well run business, equipment is top notch/always plentiful and clean. Perfect variety as well, all sorts of bars and attachments even the obscure ones. I've never felt like I've had to adapt or delay my workout plan because something isn't available.<br><br>The best part though is there are often dogs around. They're really nice to see. It is always a mood boost to see a dog.

The actual gym is fine, and has all the equipment for strongman, on the other hand went to a competition here and it was a very disappointing, the price is beyond what you pay for other competitions by a large margin, the refereeing was poor for events as rules were not enforced, the information about events was poorly given before hand, and their was favouritism to certain athletes in the competition who had been to the gym before, worst of all the owner didn't really seem to bothered about his own competition, was more concerned with his dog than the running of the competition, i wouldn't go or compete at this gyms comps again personally
