Question 2

I've never lifted before, where do I start?

Accepted Answer

You’re in the right place! Most of our members had never touched a barbell before walking in our doors. For new members we recommend the small group class option - the Hybrid Method - where you can come up to 5 times a week and try the different lifts and the type of strength and conditioning work we have in our programs.
Most people stick with the classes as they offer a wide variety of workouts, but others sometimes move to a different plan to focus more on powerlifting specifically.

Question 3

You mention powerlifting alot,  it sounds intense. I just want to gain muscle and get stronger/look better!

Accepted Answer

If you want to get stronger and be around friendly like-minded individuals, you’ve come to the right place. Our gym balances being intense with being friendly and welcoming - over half of our members have never powerlifted or never plan on powerlifting. Northern Strength is for everyone with the positive attitude towards improving their personal fitness, being a part of the community and working hard to achieve their goals. If you don’t know where to start just message us about how we can help.

Question 4

Are members shown how to use the equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every new member has access to a welcome 'walk around'. We will be in contact to book a welcome session prior to your first visit to show you the equipment, the procedures for entry/exit with your key fob and go through a medical form.

Question 5

What makes you different to other gyms I've tried?

Accepted Answer

If you're looking for something more interesting and effective than a normal commercial gym can offer then we are the gym for you. You won’t find rows of treadmills, cross trainers or machines you've no idea how to use properly! You will find prowler sleds, indoor turf, dragging sleds, chains, bands, racks, benches, kettlebells, lots of chalk, a good selection of dumbbells.  We also have a lot of powerlifting equipment, such as calibrated plates, competition bars, combo racks. 
All this adds up to the fact we have equipment that suits the needs of any ability - all of these can be used by absolute beginners to exercise, all the way through to serious competitive athletes, or just someone trying to lose a few pounds.

Question 6

Why do I have to sign up for a minimum  of 3 months (Hybrid Method/Online Coaching/Combo Plan)?

Accepted Answer

If you want to give yourself the best chance of success, the three month mark is when the changes really start to show. You should be feeling fitter and your overall strength should have increased. If you have been keeping to a nutrition plan you should also see a noticeable body fat drop at this point. A new fitness journey takes time, we don't make false promises of quick fixes.

Question 7

At my current gym, I often have to wait for equipment and waste a lot of time. Is your gym like that?

Accepted Answer

No, because we have capped our number of memberships, waiting for equipment rarely happens. Because our focus is on things like Squat, Bench, Deadlift and other barbell/compound lifts, we have more than enough high quality bars, plates, squat racks, combo racks and deadlift platforms.  On the off chance the gym is unusually busy, our membership base is extremely friendly and would be happy to let you work in with them.

Question 8

Do you offer personal training?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer personal training or personal online coaching. This is a great option for those who want more individual attention or are preparing for a specific event. Contact us for further information or head straight over to our Plans & Pricing page.

Question 9

Can I film in Northern Strength Gym?

Accepted Answer

As we also offer online coaching that requires you sending videos for your coach to give feedback, we understand that this is a new requirement in gym settings. We just ask you bring you own tripod and are mindful of other members, particularly whilst there are classes on.

Question 10

I am a trainer at another gym, can I train my clients at your gym?

Accepted Answer
