Hackney Central FAQ's

How often should I train?

3 sessions a week is recommend. If you are relatively new to training, 2 sessions will definintely see you progressing,

If you're really looking to improve your performance and focus on a goal, 4 will get you there. The team can help you find the right structure with your training and recovery to see improvements

Do you have a referral offer?

We LOVE a referral. If you have a friend who trains with us, ask them to contact us for a referral code.

Can I do my own workouts?

We are a Group Training gym and so run a structured progressive programme, however we do have Open gym slots in our timetable if you want to go off-piste and practise some skills, pickup a session or do some extra rehab. Online clients are also welcome to do their programmes here at the gym in those times

Is there parking available?

The yard is privately owned and there is paid parking in the yard available. Spots are limited but at class times there are generally spaces

Is there a bike shed?

There is a bike shed in the yard with a code and plenty of bike parking posts to lock up outside as well

I have an injury, can I still train here?

This depends on the severity of the injury, but we have plenty of people currently training in group classes at various stages of returning from injuries. We have a Sports Therapist on staff to consult and the Coaching team regularly meets to discuss members with injuries so we can make adjustments to keep you training.

Do you have showers and changing facilities?

We are a functional training gym, with 'functional' bathroom facilities! There is a bathroom on site with a shower, but we are a small warehouse based gym and have prioritised training kit and floor space over fancy changing facilities so you may want to shower at home or work if that is an option for you.

"Hands down
the best gym"

Groundwork - 5/5 from 100+ Google Reviews

Thoroughly enjoying my time at GroundWork. I started with the 6 week challenge and was hooked. It’s a great strength and conditioning gym with a friendly community, amazing coaches, PT, physio and more. I’ve already gotten stronger, fitter, more flexible and feeling healthier. If you are looking to join a gym in East London, look no further!

Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. Top coaches with a dedication and passion for what they do, attention to detail and the chops to make it all work for every individual. You definitely get what you pay for.

I’ve been at this gym for 5 months which is the longest I’ve managed to maintain a consistent gym attendance. I put this down to the trainers and community in the gym. The trainers are brilliant - they are friendly and knowledgable providing great support and variation on the training blocks to keep it interesting. Other gym goers are welcoming and many have been coming for years.

I joined GroundWork Training while prepping for my second Hyrox race. I had trained for my first in a regular gym split across two floors with barely any of the kit I needed, so I was looking for somewhere that actually offered proper Hyrox sessions. After doing one Sunday class here, I left buzzing and signed up for the twenty one day trial. I started doing two strength sessions and two Hyrox classes a week and every one of them felt different and genuinely useful. I have always preferred training on my own, so I did not expect group classes to be my thing, but being around people who are stronger and faster has pushed me far more than I managed solo. I am lifting the heaviest I ever have and learning movements I had never tried before, which is equal parts humbling and very satisfying. The coaches pay attention and support each group member and make the sessions feel focused and fun without any fuss. The whole set up has made me feel fitter and ready going into my Hyrox race, and joining as a member was an easy decision. If you are training for Hyrox or just want to get stronger with people who know what they are doing, this place is 100% worth it.

I joined Groundwork Training post-partum, having never done any strength training, and it has completely changed my fitness journey. The coaches are friendly and approachable; the programs are highly structured and tailored towards my specific goals. I’ve been able to lose weight and build strength safely and consistently. The groundwork community promotes accountability, which has helped me integrate fitness into my daily lifestyle. I highly recommend Groundwork Training for anyone looking for expert guidance, especially those new to strength training!

The team at GroundWork are fantastic; knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. The programming of the group training is brilliant in a way that it is adaptable to any ability and is progressive, whether you are an athlete looking to push even further or a beginner. I have done a mix of fitness over the years including HIIT, football and running but never really found passion in any training - until GroundWork. Everyone at this gym is welcoming and supportive, its a really nice vibe. If you want a gym where you can just turn up to a well thought out programme and push yourself with the support of a brilliant coach and members alike - this is the place for you. Plus, the communication from the gym is bang on, so you always know what to expect, they use easy booking systems plus arrange regular social activities! What's not to love?!

Really good vibes, coaches and programme. After years of training for sports, I joined Groundwork to focus on S&C. The group training classes are very efficient and the programme has enough variety to stay interesting, but make meaningful progress. It's a welcoming environment and has a nice social scene.

GroundWork is the best fitness space I have ever participated in. Although I have tried various sports and fitness activities over the years I have never managed to stick to something so consistently as I have training at GW. The core dedicated team of Katherine, Matt, Carolyn and Jamie are extremely supportive, knowledgeable and good humoured to accomplished athletes, complete beginners, and everyone in between. Me and my partner (also a member) have felt fully supported at times when health or medical issues have impacted our training. The gym is also a very LGBT inclusive space. Joining is an excellent investment in your health.

"I joined Groundwork four months ago looking for some strength training to supplement my running. I didn't know that I would become slightly too obsessed with getting up at dawn to lift heavy things. The sessions are structured to progress incrementally and work for a complete beginner like me. I've seen my strength improve, I've learned new skills and my confidence has also grown. The coaches and the people there are so welcoming and kind. There's no attitude. Just hard work, loads of support and a few jokes along the way. So glad I found Groundwork."
