The Foundry Old Street

Fantastic experience: Caring and friendly coaches. Supportive environment and tough workouts - perfect.

Fantastic experience: The trainer was great, she is so nice and explained everything to me, being a first timer. Amazing workout too!

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Fun coaches, challenging workout, great atmosphere & kit

Fantastic experience: 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 :)

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Really inclusive, great trainers & classes, seeing good results after only a few weeks!

Fantastic experience: Top lads

Fantastic experience: Addictive! Have been doing the Strong classes - a mix of metcon and F45-style classes. A Pushing, pulling, full body workout all packed into 45mins. The coaches are great. A friendly atmosphere too.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Training last 2 months with them; best program I ever had. Coaches are awesome!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in London if you like pain and suffering! Jokes aside, this is an incredible gym. All the trainers are great and very knowledgable. The head coach, Francis, always pushes me - even when I think I can't push myself further, he knows how many burpees I have left in the tank! I feel he tailors the workouts to what I need on the day and is always spot on with technique. My squats have massively improved since working with him and he's helped me with my nutrition and fitness goals. The atmosphere is also great, everyone is friendly and supportive, from the receptionist when you walk in, to the trainers and other gym-goers. Really feels more than just a gym, more like a tight-knit community. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Really love the workouts, great trainers, awesome vibe. Very clean and feels Covid-safe

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Love the work out, good trainers, clean gym and all covid stuff in place and fully compliant

Fantastic experience: Love the foundry. It’s the best gym I have ever been a member of. The coaches know your name from day one. They take time to get you know you how to push you so you can get the best of every workout.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great motivational instructor that gives constant feedback on technique. Really good all body workout

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: The personnel is incredibly friendly, professional and they really know their stuff. Ben was my coach in the first session. He really welcomes you. He is patient in explaining and at the same time pushes you to perform. You also see the programming has a clear purpose . Ben is also very motivating. All other clients in the session were super friendly. You do feel in an environment conducive to performing your best with support from everyone there.

Fantastic experience: Super experienced and educated staff who are always very welcoming and friendly. Always guaranteed a tough but amazing workout!

Fantastic experience: Really great facilty. Very friendly staff who are always happy to help.Nice changing rooms. I will be back!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Great gym! The classes are really good, they push you hard, and everyone is super nice! I was also impressed with the measures they took for coronavirus, it felt really safe

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Very well run with the latest Covid advice The PTs are brilliant, focus on my needs and I’ve got 'doms' in places I never knew I had muscles

Fantastic experience: Receptionist extremely friendly, helpful and warm smile and Jason is a great instructor

Fantastic experience: I used to go to the one in Vauxhall so I was keen to check out the Old St gym. Not disappointed- tough classes, great space and super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Epic gym. Quite different from your standard turn up and train. You get the most from the semi PT classes, although the normal classes are a great place to start. I've been a member for 1 year and am much stronger and fitter. But almost more importantly, my strength is more balanced, which I believe is a result of the training programmes and variation in the classes. I am convinced this is why I can train harder and don't get any of the niggles/injuries that I used to. The Strongman and Sweat classes are brutal but the variation keeps them interesting vs normal gym classes. If you want to burn a lot of calories per £ spent on a class they are for you! Great spirit in the gym. Good community but not cliquey and much less superficial/body image focused than crossfit gyms (no one is allowed to strut around with their tops off) Trainers are brilliant, intuitively know when to push you harder and when to back off. Dubious music taste at times, however. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great classes that are tough and challenging but open to all levels. The trainers are very personable and very motivating!

Fantastic experience: Love it here! All the trainers are amazing, with very tough but varied classes. I see better results faster than with any other class. You don’t have to be a super fit gym bunny, but after a few weeks/months with these guys you’ll definitely be closer to that! Would 100% recommend to anyone of any fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Great coach, fun atmosphere, awesome team mates. A big challenge

Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend The Foundry at Old Street and Vauxhall - the classes, particularly strongman, are super and they have all of the equipment you could ever need. The instructors are supportive and always pay attention to form/technique.

Fantastic experience: I ve been to two different class already. Those were excellent especially if you want increase your strength and muscle level. The trainers are really friendly and professional. The gym is full of great equipment for cardio and strength excercises. I really recommend it to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes and atmosphere. The whole team is really professional and friendly. They are much more then just your average gym, their classes are on another level, they organise different workshops and events for members. Once you join them you find yourself in this supportive Foundry family , full of amazing members and the staff which is beyond any gym in London. You must try their class to know

Fantastic experience: Trainers are great, really know their stuff and the classes are difficult but fun. Great hard working friendly community.

Fantastic experience: Great people Great programmes Great facility Great encouragement

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in London.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym/class studio. Really friendly instructors, challenging classes, nice environment to train. Would thoroughly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great classes, great community, friendly & welcoming staff, and coaches that help but push you further than what you think you can do.

Fantastic experience: It was a great class, brilliant trainers and a great atmosphere and experience as a whole. I definitely want to come back!

Fantastic experience: Literally the best gym I’ve been to in years. The strongman class is boss

Fantastic experience: Amazing, welcoming space with dedicated trainers and staff that help and guide you through classes weather it is your first or 100th session. Easily the best (and least intimidating gym) I have been to in London!

Fantastic experience: Did the city strongman via classpass which is modified strongman training, left me sore in places I didn't know I had. Fully recommend if you're keen to push yourself in a strength based workout and shred some fat. Sparked up my interest in strongman training.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! The instructors are so experienced, super passionate about what they do and genuinely inspiring. They know exactly when to push you (whilst keeping a v close eye on safe technique). Completely inclusive and regardless of your fitness level you’ll leave the classes knackered but absolutely buzzing and hooked for more.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in! The coaches were great and the class was challenging and loads of fun! I'll be back for sure

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers, space and equipment! Really positive and motivational energy in all classes. I only go to the foundry now

Fantastic experience: Great gym! I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This gym is about 10 mins' walk from Old Street tube. It offers everything from Strongman sessions to classes & customised Personal Training modules. Under new management and with brand new facilities, it's ideal if you are City-based for work or living in the area. Buses and tube close by, open from dawn - IDEAL. Brilliant, dedicated and highly qualified staff on hand & fresh towels too! 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant gym with world class trainers. I encourage everyone to try The Foundry.

Fantastic experience: On the site of W10 performance which has been taken over by the foundry. Great coaches, excellent equipment and YOU WILL GET FIT. Great job guys carry on.
