Personal Training

Expert personal training is available for both members and non-members at Strength Block.

Let’s WORK 👊

Strength Block is built on a foundation of great coaching and personal training. Weight training benefits every person, and getting strong is amazing for both mental and physical health. However, it can often be difficult to figure out what the best approach is to achieving your goals. The internet and social media are awash with contradictory information - it can be really hard to know what to do next.

Whether you're stepping into a gym for the first time in your life, or you're an experienced lifter looking to bust through a plateau, an expert coach will help you take the next step.

A coach that is experienced. A coach that is accountable. A coach that cares.

It’s all about sustainable progress

If you're looking for strength and personal training that is specifically designed for you as an individual, then Strength Block is the right place for you.
