The Stronghold is a functional fitness gym in Cheltenham, with classes focussed on functional fitness, barbell club, weekend bootcamp and mobility.

Our Functional fitness classes make up the bulk of the training at The Stronghold. The 60-minute sessions start with a group warm up, mobility work before moving onto a strength or skill element, finishing off with a workout.

Our Olympic weightlifting club will develop your technique, skill and strength within the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. The whole session is spent lifting weights, no need to worry about any burpees or running!

These sessions are all about working hard and having fun. They will consist of mostly partner and team workouts focusing on keeping the intensity up, the heart pumping and the lungs burning.

Sunday… The end of the week and a chance to recover. Our 30-45 minute mobility sessions will help to loosen off any tight areas and ensure that your body is ready for another week of training.

From barbells to bikes we have the best quality gym equipment around today, providing you with a great place to work out in, whether you are here to burn off some calories or are training for something more specific.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: On the face of it, it’s a simple formula for a great gym: professional + knowledgeable + effective + nurturing + fun. However, it only looks simple because the Stronghold manages it so successfully! Great gym.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Stronghold having never trained at a functional fitness facility before. It’s an extremely welcoming environment with very professional and attentive coaching in a small group setup for classes. A great mix of challenging yourself with fun and varied workouts while lifting in a safe way with proper technique. Tom , Dave and the coaches are always happy to give additional advice and guidance alongside the diligent programming and would recommend to anyone in the area to come down and try it out.

Fantastic experience: The Stronghold is the best gym in Cheltenham . The coaches have incredible knowledge and experience, and are able to easily explain technique/workouts in a way which makes you feel like you will know what you are doing when it comes to then performing the movement/exercise. Everyone at the gym is friendly, and the coaches really do care about you achieving your goals and also enjoying yourself. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Stronghold to anyone.
