I've been signed up to various programmes with 180 Strength over the last 18 Months and I can honestly say I wish I had done it sooner. My overall fitness, strength and overall wellbeing is the best it has been for years. Metcon sessions are perfect to improve strength and cardio and the PT sessions are perfect to focus on a specific goals. If your are looking for a gym thats got great people, highly experienced coaches and trainers and actually delivers results look no further.

I’ve been coming to this gym for nearly 2 years now, starting with one-on-one PT sessions with Ash. Ive continued with strength classes, which include a personalised plan so you always know what you’re doing, the trainer is on hand through out.All the trainers here are fantastic and the community is so supportive and push you to be the best version of yourself no matter if you’re just starting out, or continuing your journey. Highly recommend

I been going to 180 Strength. nearly 8 months now I really enjoy evry minut I feel more confident and more stronger

Great space to work out, with workouts that are designed for your specific goals from people who know what they are talking about. Good mix of hard work and social fun. From Gina giving top tips on nutrition to coaching with James, Nick or Ash either 1to1 or in a group, it’s a step above your standard commercial gym

I’ve been going to this gym since the beginning of 2023, and it’s honestly been life-changing. I’ve worked with trainers James, Gina, and Ash, and all of them have been incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in my progress.Since joining, I’ve lost a lot of weight and discovered a real passion for powerlifting — something I never expected. The strength club is a huge highlight, and the constant encouragement from both the PTs and fellow members makes such a difference. It’s a motivating, welcoming environment where everyone wants to see you succeed. Couldn’t recommend this gym more.

I can’t recommend 180 enough. I’d spent the last 10 years only wearing black tshirts, never taking my top off on the beach and generally feeling insecure. I didn’t know anything about form and my diet was questionable at best. Since starting in January, I’ve dropped 10kg and gained real muscle. I finally feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. A topless beach day might actually be on the cards!The coaches are great - supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in your progress. The atmosphere is welcoming and never intimidating. It’s been a game changer for me. Thank you to James, Nick and the team.

Great place for training and friendly people

If you are thinking of joining 180 strength then DO NOT HESITATE! I was in a health slump back in 2021 9 months after having my son and needed a good kick in the right direction to get moving with meaning and focus again. After a chat with James I immediately signed up and began morning classes with Nick Patrick in Poole. I was nervous to start but I could not have been made to feel more welcome by my coach Nick and the members. I was a novice and everything was explained and I felt empowered to learn and improve myself week on week. Nick’s coaching is honestly second to none and it is a true testament to him that a large group of us are still there years later 3 mornings + a week. Nick’s programmes are thoughtful and always have a focus so we feel we are collectively working towards new goals and targets, meaning we are never bored and always pushed in class. The members truly make it feel like a family and I feel so lucky to have found this empowering group of people to workout with. 10/10 would recommend.

I have been training with James Gulliver for the past year and a half and it's been a pleasure. He's very insightful and friendly. He creates programs that suit my needs and my limits (knee/shoulder pains). Good banter. His only downside is not being very good at counting ;)

2024-12-20T13:51:33.541Z

180 Strength is the BEST place if you’re looking for a supportive environment, with coaches who genuinely want to see you succeed.I’ve made significant progress on all my key lifts since joining strength club thanks to Jake’s expertise, and support.I cannot recommend this place enough!

2024-12-19T21:46:26.126Z

180 Strength is one of the most wholesome, family oriented gym’s I’ve trained in with a great collaborative approach to coaching that breeds results. Since joining 180 in February 2024 I’ve met some fantastic people and added 48kg to my total lifts of squat, bench and deadlift. I owe my success to my great coach Jake Harris whose technical expertise in programming has helped make gains in size and strength.

2024-12-19T18:03:40.298Z

180 Gym in Poole is without doubt the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. Despite being in my 40’s I’m well on the way to being the fittest I’ve ever been. My coach, Nick Patrick, is as supportive as he is knowledgeable and attending the Metcon classes make you feel like part of a family.

James Gulliver - Mind and Body Coaching. I have been working with James since Feb '24 and he is fantastic. He is committed to my goals and goes above and beyond to research and implement specific targets and training. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, encouraging and dedicated to each client! (he's also often right but don't tell him :D) Cannot recommend this man enough. The gym is small but well equipped and very friendly. All the members of staff that I have met have been excellent, James G, Jake and Dan. Would recommend this gym.

I have loved every minute at 180, from learning how to lift heavier, eat in a way that is not restrictive and helps to build strength and maintain/lose weight at the right stage for me, to making friends and most importantly having fun. The support I’ve had from coaches (especially Tommy) has been second to none.

2024-10-25T06:20:04.015Z

Have been working with James at 180 Strength for a while now and would highly recommend him. Patient, informative and intelligent with his direction .

2024-10-09T08:39:24.245Z

A clean, safe gym with excellent equipment, lovely atmosphere and great coaches. Thank you for helping me with my training during my time in Poole.

2024-10-07T18:51:39.369Z

I've been working out at this gym for a while, and it's been fantastic. The gym is conventional and nothing fancy, but it has everything you need 💪. I learned the basics of squats, bench press, and deadlifts here, and my form is now absolutely perfect 🏋️‍♂️.The Metcon classes by Tommy and Rachel are curated to increase stamina and endurance 🏃‍♂️. They push me to my limit and can be brutal at times 🥵, but it feels great once you finish 💥. Jake's Strength Club is excellent for covering all major muscles through the three compound movements with a workout plan designed for progressive overload over time 📈.The gym also has an app to track workouts, daily diet, and monthly progress, adding extra excitement to my fitness journey 📱.Overall, it's a wonderful community of lifters who support each other, pushing one another to grow together 🤝. It's a fun place to work out, with a lot to learn, and the coaches are always approachable. Highly recommend this gym!

180 is a very special gym.Firstly, it is a very friendly place where the staff and members make you feel welcome.Secondly, it’s a gym that promotes a learning approach to training that makes your journey more interesting and effective.The equipment is excellent and the premises are well cared for.Classes and 1-2-1 PT are available and I have been very happy with both of those services.I would highly recommend 180 Strength to new comers and seasoned lifters alike.

Excellent tuition and motivation. Thank you

I was at a tough point in my life and needed to do something for me to make myself look and feel better, it as I am a bit older I was extremely nervous to start a fitness regime. I was so well looked after, so encouraged that it was not just doing me good physically it made me feel so much better mentally too. I realised I was so much stronger and more capable than I could ever have imagined and I cannot speak highly enough of the team and how much this has helped me.

Recently joined this gym and all I can say is this place is a godsend!For the past year and abit I felt really lost in my fitness journey due to an unrealistic work/day schedule and some personal struggles. I lost all my progress due to falling off the wagon and not prioritising my strength training!I’m only my first week into attending this gym for the morning classes, however it is such a game changer and I know I’m going to make huge progress!! Being able to walk into a gym, having the coach/a group help me really work hard for an hour with no distractions before going to work or going about the rest of my day is so ideal for my busy schedule!I never really thought of myself as a someone who would want to attend group training however that idea has been completely turned around!Thankyou so much for making me feel so welcomed😊
