Most gyms give you access.
We give you coaching.

Every session at Denman Athletics is led by a coach who knows your name, your numbers and how you moved last week. Whether you've trained for twenty years or never touched a barbell, our job is to move you forward.

Coach watching a small group train at Denman Athletics

01

Six people. One coach. Every session.

Not a class and not a crowd. Three coached strength sessions a week, capped at six people, so your coach can watch every lift, correct your form and push you when you're ready for more.

Coach reviewing results with a member

02

We start by understanding you.

Your trial begins with a consultation, a movement assessment and a body composition scan. Before your first session, we know how you move, where you're starting from and what you're working towards.

03

One focused hour that counts.

No wandering between machines. No guessing what to do next. You walk in, your program is ready, and your coach takes you through an hour you know has moved you closer to your goals.

Your training is tailored to your starting point, with progressions based on the goals we set together. For busy people, that's the whole point.

Four weeks.
Everything included.

Is it right for you?

Coaching that's worth the investment.

Denman Athletics is built for people who value expert coaching and want every hour they train to count. It's an investment in yourself, not another membership you forget to use.

If you want open-gym access or large classes, we're not the right fit. If you want to be coached properly, by people who care about your progress, you're in the right place.

What does the trial cost?

The trial sits between a standard gym membership and one-to-one personal training, and you get expert coaching at every session. We'll walk you through everything on your call, so there are no surprises.

I'm new to strength training. Is this for me?

Absolutely. Beginners and experienced lifters train side by side, and every session is adapted to your starting point. Your coach will never ask you to do something you're not ready for.

Why do I have to apply?

Sessions are capped at six, so places are genuinely limited. A quick call lets us understand your goals and make sure we're the right fit for you, and you for us.

When can I train?

We're open Monday to Saturday, mornings and evenings, so training fits around work.

Do I have to train at the same day and time each week?

No. Life gets busy, and you can move sessions around when you need to. We do encourage you to keep your schedule as consistent as you can, because that's what makes training stick.

When can I start?

There are two start dates: Monday 16 November or Monday 23 November. Places are limited for each, so we recommend applying early to get the start date you want.

What happens after the four weeks?

If you love it, most people do, we'll talk you through membership options that suit how often you want to train. No pressure, and no lock-in to start the trial.
