Reviews
Stuck on our fridge: notes from members.
We keep every kind word. On a big screen you can drag the notes around.
“I'd never set foot in a gym before Overload Barbell Club. The coaches made me feel welcome from day one and I've just run my first half marathon.”
“Best programming I've had anywhere. Classes are capped, so you actually get coached instead of lost in a crowd.”
“The reformer studio is beautiful and the instructors really know their stuff. My back pain has improved massively.”
“Twelve weeks with Jonah and I'm deadlifting double what I started with. Clear plan, honest feedback, zero ego.”
“The 6am crew is the best part of my day. Friendly, spotless and the coffee bar next door is a bonus. Manchester's best gym.”
“Our team joined through the workplace programme. Setup was easy and half the office now trains together on Fridays.”
