L.A Gym opened in 1986 and never moved, never softened and never chased a trend. It's one of the UK's most legendary bodybuilding gyms, and it still runs the way it always has.

There's no hard sell here and no queue for the squat rack at 3am. What you get instead is an atmosphere you can't manufacture — built by members who've trained on this floor for twenty years and who'll happily spot you on your first session. That's the reason people join and then never train anywhere else.
