Fantastic experience: KJ Strength and Fitness is a brilliant gym. I joined at 6 months postpartum and was honestly a bit nervous, but I’ve never once felt out of my depth. The coaches strike the perfect balance, everything is challenging and pushes you, but always with encouragement, great support, and zero intimidation. It’s such a friendly, welcoming environment, no matter your starting point. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: A year ago this week, I nervously stepped into KJ Strength and Performance, completely new to fitness classes and the Gym. I didn’t know what to expect, but looking back now, it’s the best decision I’ve ever made for my health and well-being. For the first time in my life, I feel stronger, fitter, and healthier. This gym stands out for its welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere—no mirrors, just people of all ages working to better themselves. I only wish I had started 20 years earlier! The coaches are exceptional, offering constant encouragement, guidance, and support whenever it’s needed. Joining KJ Strength and Performance has truly been a life-changing experience, and I couldn’t be more grateful. So if you are thinking about joining make that call like I did you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Since joining kj strength and performance , I have achieved goals I never thought possible, and I enjoy going to every class. No pain, no gain, as they say . The coaches give great advice and created different programmes that are suited for all out there and have helped me become stronger and more consistent in my fitness journey. I would like to thank all the coaches of kj strength and performance without their knowledge and coaching skills, I wouldn't have achieved what I have achieved today I really recommend anyone looking to start their fitness journey with kj because Most of all, I have made great relationships with people who are on similar journeys which makes it much easier to achive goals with a friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: The classes are brilliant. Whatever level you are at the gang in there teach and support you at every session! I like the different sessions you can choose on the app (strength & Conditioning, mobility, conditioning on sat morning is unreal!)
