Strength & Conditioning classes are at the heart of what we do at Compound. These 60 minute sessions are designed to help you get strong, stay fit, move well and feel ready for whatever life throws at you. We use functional movements that build real-world strength and fitness, so you’ll regularly be asked to push, pull, squat, hinge, sprint, jump, swing, carry and move in plenty of different ways. No two sessions are exactly the same, but everything has a purpose. Along the way, you can also expect to laugh, encourage the people around you and, most importantly, have fun while you train.

Behind every class is a structured programme designed by our experienced coaching team. We work in six-week training cycles, giving you time to practise movements, build confidence and progressively increase what you’re capable of. Rather than simply turning up and doing a random workout, you’re following a programme designed to make you stronger and fitter over time. Each session combines quality coaching, strength work, conditioning and accessory or skill development, giving you an incredible amount of value from a single hour of training. Classes are capped at 16 people, allowing our coaches to spend time with every member — helping with technique, adjusting movements, challenging you when appropriate and making sure you get the most from every session.

One of the best things about Strength & Conditioning is that everyone can train together. You don’t need to be fit before you start, and you certainly don’t need any previous experience. Every movement and workout can be adapted to suit your current ability, meaning someone attending their very first class can train alongside someone who has been with us for years or competes at an advanced level — both working hard at exactly the right level for them. And while the programming and coaching are a huge part of what makes Compound special, the community is just as important. You’ll train alongside people who know your name, celebrate your progress and genuinely want you to do well. It’s serious training without taking ourselves too seriously — a place to become stronger, fitter and healthier, while being part of one of the friendliest gym communities around.
