Tomorrow (11th February 2026) will be my one year anniversary at Powerhouse and without a doubt has been one of the best decisions joining. Powerhouse is a place for everyone, it doesn’t matter what fitness level you are you will be welcomed and supported by the most amazing coaches and member’s. The team at Powerhouse have built the most amazing environment for people to come and better themselves without judgement and always approach with a ‘you can mindset’. Since joining I’m the fittest I’ve ever been and grown so much in confidence. To anyone considering joining just do it! You’ll receive the best coaching, support and be part of an amazing community.

I have been at Powerhouse now for a year and it has been the absolute best year I have ever had for my health and fitness. I have never been as strong, as fit, as disciplined and have never enjoyed going to the gym as much as I do now. I train with the most wonderful community of people who support and cheer you on in every session, and the coaches here are second to none. When you sign up, you are immediately assigned a coach who will support you with anything you need and want to get out of your fitness and health journey. They are so knowledgeable, passionate and motivated to help you achieve your goals while always encouraging and pushing you to do better than you think you can. I did my first ever fitness event through Powerhouse last year and will be taking part in Hyrox this year in a relay team with an amazing group of women all from Powerhouse. I joined because powerhouse was a mix of PT and team sport/activity which I had always loved and I feel so lucky to have found my way here. I’m looking forward to the next year. If you are thinking of joining I would highly recommend. You won’t regret it!

Originally I took the six week challenge but have continued my membership for more than two years. It is a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment and I have grown stronger and fitter as a result. I cannot commend it highly enough.

‘Life Changing’ is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about this gym. From the moment you step inside you are made to feel welcome and part of the community. The coaches are so knowledgeable and supportive of each individuals needs and abilities that you never feel like you are asking a silly question or any injuries you may have are taken into consideration during the sessions. I would highly recommend anyone that has ever tried a bulk standard gym and not felt comfortable that they give Powerhouse a try and see the difference that they can make to your life.

I joined Powerhouse just over a year ago with no previous gym experience (literally a total beginner!) It was the best decision I’ve made. I train three times a week and feel so much stronger. The coaches are great & work around any injuries or niggles & it’s a great gym community. As a past runner I never expected to get the same buzz from a gym workout as I did from a long run but I was wrong! I’m a total convert and can’t imagine a week without my SGPT sessions!

Cannot think of a single thing to dislike about this gym, the community and the coaches. Wish I'd listened to my body 15 years ago, but it's never ever too late. Showing up and pushing yourself really are the keys to happiness and confidence, and the coaches really do "get it" - not over coaching, not over pushing, fully supportive and really amazing at what they do. Age, gender, ego, all left at the gym door with this amazing club and with nothing but friendly people inside it. Love the Bootcamps and love the SGPT sessions. Amazing.

Having watched a close friend really enjoy this gym and work hard to get amazing fitness results I was persuaded to give it a go. The 6 week challenge gave me the opportunity to try it all out and to see whether I could do it, I would enjoy it and whether I could make it fit in with my life and schedule. The answer to all of those was yes and I’ve been a member and loving it since June 25 - it’s such a supportive and fun environment. All the coaches are brilliant - so helpful with alternatives when I’m struggling with a movement or an injury - and so patient explaining how each movement works and how to get the best out of them. The other members are great too. Very welcoming and friendly and always ready to spot or give advice if I want it. The bookings are really easy on a custom made app. There is loads of flexibility on the bookable sessions so I can most often fit all my sessions in each week which makes it very cost effective. When I’ve had to be out for a couple of weeks hols or other commitments, etc. it’s also been easy to make provision for that. The workout app is also really great helping me to track the exercises I’ve done, the number of reps and the weight where relevant. That way I don’t have to try and remember from session to session, it’s all just really easy for me to look up. I’m making excellent progress with my strength and fitness and I’m loving it. The guided sessions make it so easy for me to attend. I don’t have to try to remember what I’m supposed to be doing or wait around for equipment to be free. All in all it’s a really great experience. Much less terrifying than I thought it would be and, 7 months in, it’s become a habit and not just a new shiny thing that got put down almost as quickly as it got picked up. Long may it continue and thank you to all the Powerhouse team for being such a brilliant support.

I have never thought of myself as someone who would go to a gym but since joining Powerhouse I’ve really felt that I’ve made significant progress with my strength and overall levels of fitness. I’ve tried different sessions and, whoever is coaching you, it feels like they have a genuine interest in how you’re getting on and know how hard to push you to continue the progress. I think I can genuinely say that I’m a different person in the nearly two years since I became a member, thank you.

Powerhouse is great for any and all fitness levels or goals. The coaches are brilliant, knowledgeable and really approachable. Sessions are structured well and always organised, and you get all the guidance you need, both inside and outside the sessions. Everyone from coaches to members, have been welcoming and encouraging. Powerhouse offers more than just a plain ol' workout 😊 I really look forward to going to the PH sessions each week...a big difference to past gym memberships or other fitness experiences.

Powerhouse Gym is amazing! The camaraderie and energy are unbeatable -everyone motivates each other to push harder. I was nervous to join at first, but it’s perfect for all fitness levels and the coaches are incredible. Within weeks I felt stronger, fitter, and more confident.

Hi, I saw the add for Power House on Facebook and for someone that has never been to a gym before, not very confident and very unfit, it seemed ideal to try. Am so glad I did the whole Power house team have been great.you don’t feel pressured and you are doing the same as everyone in the session so plenty of help and support. No Mirrors and stupid amounts of Testosterone. Making gains at a steady rate with lots of support.

I’ve been at Powerhouse Thame for over three years now and joining is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I often describe it as “a gym without mirrors”, (both literally and figuratively) as it isn’t the sort of place where people spend time gazing at themselves (not that there’s anything wrong with that, it just isn’t what Powerhouse is about); it’s more about improving how you feel. I would highly HIGHLY recommend Powerhouse to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness, both in terms of strength and cardiovascular stamina. However, Powerhouse is much more than just a place to get strong. I’ve lived in Thame for over 17 years and being a member of Powerhouse has given me the community I’ve always wanted, as I’ve found lots of other likeminded people who I now call my friends. The staff put on various special fun events throughout the year that are great to take part in and always end with a beer and a chat. I should also give a special mention to the coaches, who are first class. The way Powerhouse works is that you are all assigned a personal coach who gives you specific one-on-one advice, but then classes are run by a selection of coaches all of whom will give you advice and encouragement during your session. I have great admiration for each of the coaches, all of whom live and breathe functional fitness. I’ve trained alongside several of the coaches which has been a great (and often humbling!) experience. The relationship with coaches is so different from a commercial gym, all of which makes the culture much more positive. I could bang on about how brilliant Powerhouse is for much longer. If you’re undecided whether to join then I really encourage you to sign up.
