Genesis Gym london

Quite simply: One of the best gyms in the UK. If you love training, take it seriously or just want to be around people who will get you to your goals, this is the place. It's got a wonderful old school feel to it and has also got something that franchise gyms sorely lack - charm. The weights clang rather than bounce, the kit is no bells or whistles and there's a real work ethic atmosphere in the gym. I lost count of how heavy the weights go up to and in turn had one of my best ever workouts there. It's not just a gym where "champions are made" though. If I was a beginner I'd still make a beeline for Genesis. The great friendly staff and other members are so helpful it's unreal. If you're polite they'll treat you like part of the family. Cannot recommend this gym enough. I wish I could give it six stars

Gym for "people who lift".People more interested in getting the job done and lifting some iron than it being pretty- not much is shiny, everything has seen hard use from people using it to lift heavy stuff. If you can get past that the equipment is broad- atlas stones/logs/strongman stuff. An Olympic weightlifting platform,deadlift platforms, a monolift. And they'll let you use it all without batting an eye. The fact that it's not aesthetically pleasing is irrelevant to its function, and helps deliver more bang for your buck. The owner has a cute bulldog has squatted over 1000lbs, but the atmosphere is welcoming of people who would struggle with a tenth that. Just put back your bloody weights

Cos I train on my own with out any peacocks

Best gym in London. I live 45 minutes away and despite having multiple gyms within walking distance, I make the journey to Genesis whenever possible. It is quite simply incredible. There is all the equipment to train with that you can imagine. Literally every type of specialist barbell. So many machines for every body part and a huge amount of dumbbells. There is a whole section upstairs for abs training and cardio. But the best part of this gym is the people. Everyone that I've met here trains hard and makes the atmosphere and vibe perfect to push your limits. 10/10 would recommend.

Proper gym!! Good vibe. Haven't come across anyone that has an attitude. If you need help staff or fellow gym goers easy to talk to. One of the best no frills gym I've been to

Probably the best powerlifting/strongman gym in London. Great equipment, expertly knowledgeable staff and a no nonsense environment. Want to get serious work done? Then this is the place for you

Came to London for 2 weeks on holiday and looked for a powerlifting gym to train for my upcoming meet back in Malaysia. Went to Genesis and met Paul who gave me a 2 week pass to Genesis at such a reasonable price. Paul was so kind and humble to me and I learned so much from him, powerlifting wise. I met Dave too who is the owner of the gym and he was so cool. He's in his 60s and still lifting so heavy! Everyone was welcoming and did not treat me as an outsider. Definitely a gym you should put on your list when visiting London. They have EVERYTHING.

Good facilities and nice group of people to work with.

Went to train as a 1 off but will deffo go back even though i live 3 hours away best gym ever and great people and friendly staff

One of the last old school gyms in London. Not filled with mirrors, wheat shots and yoga classes just old school weights. If you want to get stronger this is the place. Absolute giants roam this gym but they are good natured and there to mind their own business and train.
