I’ve been training with this crew since 2016. Through Bold, to Moov, and now The Yard. The name may have changed over the years, but the one thing that has never changed is the people and the sense that you’re part of a family. And because we’re family, when Vicky met Scottie…naturally, we took him in too 😂 And somehow, he’s managed to transform all of us for the better. The Yard genuinely just keeps getting better and better. I love the equipment, the variety of classes and, most importantly, the trainers. You can be in a class of 20 people and they’re still watching you - correcting your form, pushing you when you need it and making sure you’re training properly. Whether you’re there to get stronger, fitter, have a laugh, or even prepare for the odd HYROX race if that’s your cup of tea, they’ve got you. After 10 years, this place really is my home away from home and my safe space. Some of my favourite people and closest friends are here, and genuinely feel like family. No egos. No pretentiousness. Just really good people, really good training and a bloody good time. ❤️ Wouldn’t train anywhere else.

Jaiah has the best workout music! Learnt a lot here attending strength classes. Aurelia really takes good time to show you the movements properly. Still learning. Thanks for the patience.

Good equipment. Terrible people. I filmed 2 exercises of only myself on my phone, something I’ve watched other members do freely. No policy is posted anywhere, and no one ever mentioned it. This was apparently the greatest sin in this gym. Instead of a calm conversation, the owner called me a liar and became hostile over something trivial. Frankly unprofessional towards a paying member. Coaches stopped acknowledging me for the rest of the visit. I have no issue following rules. Just enforce them respectfully and communicate them clearly. The way I was treated felt exclusionary and cliquey. Unless you’re part of the crew, you’re not welcome here. Save yourself the energy and find a gym that treats every member equally

Great gym if you're training for Hyrox. The sessions are tough but so valuable! Expect Hyrox classes that incorporate compromised running and functional training.
