The Underground has been perfect for getting back into exercise and strength training in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. The only gym I've stuck with, haven't got injured and enjoy going to. Sign up, it's worth it.

Shelley has created such an incredible community and safe place for people of all ages and fitness levels to come and train. I have always wanted to focus on strength training but found weights and the typical gym environment quite intimidating. Since training here I have felt the strongest I have ever been and have been recommending this place to all my girlfriends.

The Underground Movement is an inclusive space where everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace and on their own goals. The support from trainers is excellent and the classes are never too big.
This is a great gym if you would like to get stronger.

This is the first group trained gym i've been too, and honestly, it's been the best experience. I sincerely couldn't recommend Shelley and her team enough. Doesn't matter if you're a seasoned vet or rolling off the couch, the team at underground will get you. Do it.

The Underground has achieved the impossible, as its actually made me enjoy going to a gym! A far cry from the soulless caverns with floor to ceiling mirrors and endless rows of confusing gym equipment, The Underground offers a space that is unique, welcoming and non-intimidating. The coaches are knowledgeable, professional and extremely friendly; they take the time to guide and encourage you through the carefully structured programmes to ensure that you are getting the most from your workout. The atmosphere is topped off with the enthusiasm and camaraderie of the fellow gym-goers who keep returning because they know they have found something exceptional. I cannot recommend The Underground Movement highly enough.

Love this place! Very welcoming from the start! I do PT with these guys currently and it’s amazing. They were really flexible with work and with injuries I had tailored sessions so I can get the most out of it without hurting or staining myself more but also building the necessary strength. They aren’t like any other gym

The friendly environment and programs offered at The Underground Movement has made me feel so confident in returning to the gym after a very long break.
The team are super helpful and friendly, they’re always available for a chat and to discuss your progress.
The fitness programs offered and run by the instructors are amazing for anyone who is looking at getting back into a routine with their health or like me work harder and better in a group environment.
