FAQ’S
Getting Started
Is IronHQ beginner friendly?
Yes. We welcome people at every experience level, from complete beginners to experienced athletes. If you’d like help getting started, you can book an induction, speak to us at reception or ask about personalised programming and coaching.
Do you offer inductions?
Inductions aren’t compulsory, but you’re welcome to book a free induction with a coach to get familiar with the gym and its equipment. Staff are also available to help if you have questions.
Do you offer a free trial?
We don't offer free trials, as protecting our training environment is our top priority. Paying for a day pass shows genuine intent: you're committed, invested in your session, and respectful of the space and the people around you. We're not a commercial gym chasing numbers. Day passes let us reinvest back into the gym, and help us avoid the unpredictable footfall that comes with letting anyone in for free regardless of whether they believe in what we're building. You deserve to experience IronHQ exactly as it truly is, and a day pass is how we protect that, for you and everyone training alongside you.
How is IronHQ different to a commercial/chain gym?
We’re independently owned, so every decision here is made to make the ultimate home of strength. That means a community of like-minded members, personal support rather than being left to figure things out alone, and no long contracts or additional fees. Our top-spec equipment is properly maintained, and we’re regularly adding new equipment and upgrading what’s already here. Ultimately, we care about the gym and about you.
What is the atmosphere like at IronHQ?
IronHQ is a focused but welcoming training environment. Whether you’re completely new to the gym or an experienced competitive athlete, everyone is welcome. Our members are supportive, respectful and serious about their training, without the intimidating atmosphere. We want IronHQ to be somewhere you can train hard, make progress and feel part of the community.
Membership & Pricing
Are there contracts or additional fees?
Our Monthly Membership has no contract and never any additional fees.
How do monthly memberships work?
The remainder of your first month is paid pro-rata by card. From there, membership is collected via Direct Debit on the 1st of each month. Please note: Monthly rolling memberships require a minimum of two payments. This means the initial pro rata payment and at least one subsequent monthly payment are required. 14-days notice submitted via email is required for cancellations or any changes to your membership.
Do you offer any discounts?
No. As an independent gym, we don’t offer discounts or regular promotions. We believe in keeping our pricing fair and consistent, so everyone has access to the same membership at the same price. We also deliberately cap our membership rather than chase volume, which helps us protect the quality of the environment and prevent the gym from becoming overcrowded. Our membership represents excellent value for the quality of the facility and equipment we provide, while allowing us to continually reinvest in the gym with new equipment and improvements regularly.
Is there an age limit?
You must be 16+ to train independently. Under 16’s are welcome if accompanied by a parent throughout their session and must sign up in-person at reception with a parent. ID will be required for all under 18’s. We welcome younger members who respect the gym and the people around them, but we don’t offer student discounts or chase volume, allowing us to maintain the relaxed, respectful environment our members value.
Do you offer short-term memberships?
Yes. We offer day, week and month passes for anyone who only needs access for a short period. These can be purchased here
Training, Coaching & Programming
Do you offer personal training or programming?
Yes, we have a team of personal trainers covering a wide range of disciplines, alongside online coaching and personalised programming to suit your goals.
What coaching options are available?

Facilities & Equipment
What equipment do you have?
A wide selection of specialist bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman and functional kit, built to enable effective training across all strength disciplines.
Do you have specific kit for Hyrox, strongman and powerlifting?
Yes, we have full competition-standard kit for both Hyrox & powerlifting, and various comp-standard implements for strongman, including yoke, farmers, log, monster dumbbell, etc.
Do you have parking?
Yes, we have free on-site parking, plus alternative car parks within a 1-2 minute walk.
When are you busiest?
You can check live occupancy any time via the ClubRight app. Generally, Monday and Tuesday mid-mornings (9-10am) and evenings (5-7pm) are our busiest times, however, we have plenty of equipment and a focused-atmosphere so you’ll rarely be waiting for kit even at peak times. Typically 14:30-16:30 is our quietest time most days.
Why are members expected to put their weights away?
It’s part of the culture at IronHQ. We believe looking after the gym is a shared responsibility, and putting equipment back is a simple sign of respect for the facility, staff and other members. When everyone does their part, it creates a better environment for everyone to train in. We operate a simple two-strike’s and you’re out policy.
What other services do you offer?
Alongside coaching, we offer body composition assessments and sports massage. Further Health & Performance services, including blood testing, health assessments, private GP services, physiotherapy and additional recovery services, are being introduced in stages.
