Based in Loughborough, Leicestershire, Serious Strength Gym is a private gym offering two main ways to train: coached group personal training sessions and open gym access. Its group PT is aimed at busy adults who want to get stronger, fitter and move better, while the open gym suits those who prefer to follow their own programme.

Gyms with a strength focus generally appeal to people who want structured, progressive training rather than a crowded leisure centre floor. Small group coaching can be a helpful middle ground, offering guidance on technique and accountability while sharing sessions with others working towards similar goals.

Based in Caerphilly, 24 Jiu Jitsu is a martial arts club focused on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, with an MMA programme alongside. The club describes itself as an inclusive community, welcoming members of any age, gender, background or ability, from complete beginners to experienced competitors, parents and teenagers. No experience or particular fitness level is needed, and newcomers can book a free first session.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling art built around positional control, escapes and submissions, and it is often valued as much for the friendships and problem solving as for the fitness. A first session at a BJJ gym usually involves a warm up, some technique practice with a partner and a relaxed introduction to the basics, so comfortable gym clothes are generally all you need.
