Train like it matters.

A members-only athletic club built around coached strength, measured conditioning and recovery that counts as training. Fourteen people per class. Never a queue for the rack.

02Why IRONHAUS

Six reasons people
leave their old gym.

None of them are the towels. Though the towels are very good.

Fourteen people, maximum

Every class is capped so a coach can actually see you. Book at 05:45 or 21:00 and it makes no difference.

You leave with a programme

Written, not verbal. Assessment on day one, review every six weeks, and it follows you between clubs in the app.

Numbers, not vibes

Zone testing, DEXA scans and a training log that fills itself in. If we cannot measure it we will not claim it.

Coaches who stay

Average tenure is six years and every coach is degree-qualified or chartered. Nobody here is between careers.

Recovery is training

Sauna, contrast bathing, compression and physiotherapy on the same floor as the weights, on the same membership.

Open when you are

05:30 to 23:00 on weekdays, and 24 hours for VIP members. The 06:15 combat class is the busiest slot we run.

03How it works

Three steps, then
sixteen years of them.

Every member goes through the same three stages, whether you are chasing a first pull-up or a fourth national title.

01

Assessment

Ninety minutes. Movement screen, strength benchmarks, a zone test and an honest conversation about your week.

02

Programme

Written the same day and in your app before you leave. Reviewed every six weeks, adjusted whenever it needs to be.

03

Progress

Logged automatically from the platforms and machines. DEXA and zone re-tests quarterly, so the plan answers to data.

04The coaching floor

Thirty-eight coaches.
Average eleven years.

Every one of them is degree-qualified or chartered, and every one is on the floor rather than in an office.

05The combat room

Six weeks of footwork before you touch a bag.

Dmitri has been in the corner for eighteen years and he is not in a hurry. Learn to move first and the rest arrives on its own.

06Membership

Four tiers.
Three billing cycles.

Quarterly saves eight per cent, annual saves seventeen and waives the onboarding fee. Every tier includes the assessment and a written programme.

07Success stories

Twelve months,
written down.

Strength · coached by Marcus Vale

Down 18 kg, up 60 kg on his deadlift

Michael arrived after a health check he described as 'the polite version of a warning'. We started with three sessions a week, none of them longer than forty-five minutes, and a rule that he was not allowed to add weight until his positions held. Twelve months later he pulls 200 kg and his cardiologist has stopped writing to him.

08In their words

What members actually say.

Six reviews pulled from our last member survey. We publish the middling ones too — they are on the FAQ.

I had trained in gyms for eleven years and never once been taught how to brace. Six weeks at Shoreditch and my back stopped hurting on flights. That is the whole review.

James Okonjo

Member since 2021 · Shoreditch

The zone test was the thing. I had been running every single session at the same middling effort for years. Elena showed me the data and I took nine minutes off my half marathon.

Rebecca Lindqvist

Member since 2019 · Canary Wharf

Fourteen people in a class, maximum. I have never waited for a rack. For the money that is the only comparison that matters to me.

Tolu Adeyemi

Member since 2022 · Shoreditch

I came in after a slipped disc, terrified. Sofia handled the handover from my physio herself and wrote a plan that respected it. Two years on I deadlift more than I did at thirty.

Helen Choudhury

Member since 2020 · Chelsea

Dmitri made me do footwork drills for a month and a half before I was allowed near a bag. I was furious. He was completely right.

Sam Whitfield

Member since 2023 · Shoreditch

The recovery suite at 21:00 on a Wednesday is the best hour of my week. I book it like a meeting and nothing gets to move it.

on the floor.

No listicles, no supplements to sell. Just what our coaches actually tell members.

14Questions

Asked and answered.

The fourteen we field most often are on the FAQ page. Here are the six that come up in every tour.

There is a one-off £49 onboarding fee that covers your assessment, your first written programme and your app account. Annual members do not pay it. We do not charge an admin fee, a towel fee or a card fee.

Yes. A £35 day pass gets you full access to any club, any hour, including classes and the recovery suite. If you join within fourteen days we take the £35 off your first month.

Monthly memberships cancel in the app with one month's notice — no phone call, no retention script. Quarterly and annual plans run to the end of the term you paid for, and you can freeze instead if you would rather keep your join rate.

Up to three months in any twelve, at £15 a month. Freezing holds your rate, your locker and your class history. Medical freezes are free with a GP note and have no limit.

It is exactly the right place, and about a third of our intake is in the same position. Everybody starts with the same assessment and a programme written for where they actually are. The Physique class is machine-led specifically so you can build a base before touching a bar.

Ninety minutes with a coach. Movement screen, a few strength benchmarks, a zone test on the bike or treadmill, and a conversation about what you want and how many hours a week you honestly have. You leave with a written programme in the app before you go home.

We are an independent club with no group behind us, which makes these harder to win and better to have.
