Below my original 5* review from 2021. Unfortunately too much has changed since, its not the same gym anymore by a lot. Different programming, different coaches. Sadly no more "Where The Strong Belong".<br><br>Really love the workouts, great trainers, awesome vibe. Very clean and feels Covid-safe

Amazing gym - classes and programs are well structured and capped to small numbers so you get the attention you need. I saw some real results in 18 months - from never being able to do a push up to finally doing them! The coaches Sam, Tom and Rhys are great people, very motivating and genuinely care for their members. Only finishing up because I’m moving overseas. Thanks for everything!

I started with the 21 day challenge to get myself into a routine and I began to notice positive changes in my fitness/mobility very soon. I haven’t stopped training since - I have a pretty poor record of sticking to work out plans but this gym has really turned things around for me. Sam, Reiss and Tom are excellent trainers - professional, encouraging and attentive. If you’re looking to join a gym that motivates you to train consistently then look no further!

This gym is really top tier. Tom, Reiss and Sam are fantastic coaches across both Small Group PT and the hybrid/strong classes.<br><br>It's an investment but this place has been transformational for my fitness. Don't sleep on Foundry Old Street.

The Foundry is on another level. The small‑group personal training sessions and classes are truly bespoke: the coaches know your name, tailor exercises for any injuries and push you just the right amount. The atmosphere is what makes it special. There’s a real sense of community and zero ego, and coaches make everyone feel welcome. You never have to worry about what to do; the structured programmes keep training enjoyable and time‑efficient. Training at The Foundry really helped me achieve visible results. Their workouts levelled up my fitness and strength and made me actually enjoy going to the gym. If you want serious results in a supportive, fun environment, The Foundry is it.
