The Stronghold Gym

Stronghold is among the top two gyms I've ever worked out at in my life.
Well thought out, high end programming (12 week cycles, with test weeks at the end to check progress) with separate strength and conditioning sections, with a range of fun classes without losing the emphasis on technique and safety.
Tom and Dave are absolutely top notch, and leave you in no doubt about how much they care.
Easily the best gym in Cheltenham.

I am not a gym lover but I do enjoy the Master Classes at Stronghold gym. The classes are well pitched for a slightly older age group but allow for individual progression. Alex, ADM Fitness, and Kylie are excellent trainers both bringing their different strengths to our sessions. The gym has a friendly atmosphere and the trainers are welcoming and encouraging.

The stronghold is a fantastic gym for all ages and abilities. It is a very welcoming environment and the coaches are very experienced and knowledgable.The new premises are huge with smart new changing rooms and lots of high quality equipment. Keep up the good work Dave, Tom and the team. You have created a great functional fitness community.

I recently joined The Stronghold gym having started PT sessions with Tom. The facilities are excellent, the coaches very experienced and there is definitely something for everyone. I have been a member of gyms for years and this is the first one where I feel the coaches really want to work with you as an individual. I am a middle age female so not into the “macho gym thing” but I feel comfortable and valued as a member. Tom, Dave and the team are constantly striving to improve everyone’s experience and meet individual’s needs and expectations. The classes that I attend are small, form is constantly checked and I feel challenged!
Very happy to highly recommend The Stronghold gym.

Great Gym with excellent coaching, equipment & atmosphere. The Stronghold makes you feel at home right away. This place is absolutely the best gym in Cheltenham.

I started a few weeks back as a complete beginner in the gym/functional fitness classes. To say I was nervous is an understatement! From day one the teachers/trainers and other gym goers and people you meet in classes have been such a friendly, welcoming, helpful, kind, understanding and supportive lot. From the first class I have been given great teaching from both Kylie and Georgie (and one class with James!) Each one of them has been super helpful, patient and perfect at explaining and getting me started with excercises and things I have never done before, it could easily feel daunting but instead I feel at ease as they take me through each step and slowly work me through the task and get the technique down properly before moving on. They also help motivate and push you through a last set/rep to really maximise and get everything out of the whole hour class so you really feel you've given it everything and can come away super happy. I always come away with on a massive high and feeling a sense of achievement and determined to keep it up and progress as much as I can which is all thanks to them. Special thanks also to Dave and Tom for welcoming me into their gym and getting me started on this journey and always being such lovely friendly faces you guys rock! What you guys have built is awesome.

If this is what you are looking for look no further!

From coaches to equipment the gym is unmatched, this gym wants you to succeed, alongside brilliant group training and goals they offer a free gym time in-between classes where you can train solo in an ego free environment! It's mint...go there..........now

I have attended classes and undertaken personal training - with Dave (instructor) - in preparation for Hyrox. The expertise, experience, responsiveness, focussed attention to details and development of personalised programmes is the BEST I have seen. There is no doubt I have improved functional performance, endurance and strength because of this exceptional gym and team.
