Foundry Old Street

I’ve been eager to try The Foundry for ages as I wanted to do a functional training class with more of a bespoke focus than you get in a large gym. I took class with Lawrence who is by far the best coach I’ve ever had- fantastic at correcting form and pushing hard on exercises and weights when needed whilst also making the session fun! There’s a real community feel as well and I’d definitely return :)

Everyone is super helpful and friendly. The strong class is great and accessible for all levels with a warm and encouraging atmosphere. Amy even took time after my first class to go through and help with some technique. I would really recommend trying it out!

Love this gym to bits and can’t recommend it enough! It’ll push you to improve everyday and feel so accomplished afterwards! The coaches are simply incredible, genuinely nice and welcoming. I’m very small and they make sure that all the exercises are adjusted to my height before we start which is incredibly appreciated. I truly have nothing bad to say! If you’re in doubt, join, you won’t regret it x

Great class for anyone that's not confident with solo gym equipment workout or experienced gymers alike. I love both Sweat and Strong. Friendly staff too

Francis led a great session, engaging with the class and really pushing us to our limits. He also gave me great advice regarding some issues I was having

The Foundry is a really great place for beginners (like me!) and more advanced to get into strength-training/weight lifting. The trainers are lovely and friendly, and passionate about the workouts, making it fun and accessible. They're really empowering as well, always encouraging and supporting us. I was quite worried about re-injury as well and they've been amazing in listening to me when something doesn't quite feel right, providing stretches to ease pain and watching form to make sure I do the moves correctly.
So so glad I decided to give it a go. Have made a lot of progress and enjoyed the process!

I hesitated a lot whether or not to join the Foundry.
Their branding (where the strong belong) and the fact that professional athletes have trained with Foundry coaches initially made me think that I did not qualify to join. Furthermore, joining the Foundry is a significant financial investment when going for the semi private training.
Going on site to chat with the staff (Old St gym) was really helpful - they were able to articulate how they bring people from all fitness levels up to speed to excel and surpass their goals. I have really experienced it - during classes, you will always find a few people in incredible shape doing great, but the atmosphere is kind, fostering helping and encouraging each other. I have also personally greatly benefitted from the semi private training where coaches take great care in 1) getting you stretched and warmed up and 2) helping you develop great form to continuously obtain results.
The financial investment remains, but there again, the Foundry is happy to help with some instalments etc.

Overall, I am glad I joined, and I now resonate with the Foundry's goal to not just be a gym, but also develop a community of like-minded, kind individuals striving for continuous improvement. I will definitely be renewing my membership!

I’ve been with The Foundry for just about a year, and I can confidently say, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Since moving to London two years ago, I’ve been looking for a gym and after trying every one you can think of, I came across The Foundry and my only regret is not signing up sooner.
The front of house staff and coaches are amazing! When you walk in you’ll always receive a warm welcome, which makes you feel like you’re more than just a member. The coaches are extremely experienced; my form has improved significantly, and they’ve helped me perform exercises that in the past caused a lot of injury. They know exactly how to explain and guide you to do each one correctly and safely based on your body. During the sessions, they constantly keep you motivated and actually having FUN during your workout, which was a pretty new concept for me. All the coaches are fantastic, but my favourites are definitely Francis, Jason and Mark, I recommend one of their sessions for sure! They will push you to challenge yourself and you’ll realize you’re stronger than you think. I’ve never been this excited about my health and fitness, and a huge part of that is because of the amazing Team and members at The Foundry. <3
