A Story of personalised Gym Spaces

Back in 2017, fed up with crowded, unpredictable, and inconvenient commercial gyms, we embarked on a quest to create something unique. Our journey began in a humble garage lock-up in a small market town in Bedfordshire, where we started building our own personal fitness sanctuaries – Gym Nooks, as we affectionately call them – one piece of equipment at a time.

Sure, at first glance, our Gym Nooks might look like a garage filled with old equipment. But hey, one's rubbish is another's treasure, right? Don't judge a book by its cover – these nooks may not be state-of-the-art, but they’ve got personality in spades, and everything you need to sculpt and build your dream physique. I love the energy a Gym Nook gives me, where commercial gyms used to suck it right out.

Our story went from spending two hours a night in the commercial gym, feeling like a wrestler in a royal rumble, losing precious time and vital energy waiting for squat racks (I actually remebering warming up for 35 minutes, waiting for a rack to become free) and learning bad habits and terrible advice from enhanced gym bros.. Fast forward to 2024 where 40-minute sessions are packed with supersets and where squat racks are always available. Imagine having the equipment where you left it, weights not being stolen, and being in control of your music, workout space, and progress – even training outside in 30-degree heat!

What really drew us to building these nooks was the consistency and predictability they offer. Knowing exactly what equipment awaited us and having the chance to train outdoors in the sunshine became an integral part of our fitness philosophy.
