180 Strength

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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 ;)

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: I joined 180 in March with an aim to start strength training again. I ended up joining Strength Club and started powerlifting, working with coach/PT Jake Harris. There's a lot to say about all the coaches at 180. Jake has coached myself and many others from strength to strength with our lifts, finessing our form and technique too. I look forward to every session. They really do care at 180, whether you're a beginner at the gym or advanced, whether your goal is strength or weight loss, there's something for everyone. There is a sense of community at 180 that you cannot fault.

Fantastic experience: 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.

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

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great kit, great people, great value. What more do you need?

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: Excellent tuition and motivation. Thank you

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: The coaching staff are incredible, very supportive and keen to look at your technique and ensure you don't cause any injuries. Great community feel from the members all working together to achieve individual goals.

Fantastic experience: 180 Strength IS THE BEST GYM EVER!! I love this place and I am beyond impressed with my new gym and recommend it to anyone that looks for a life-changing gym experience A fab concept; I used to push myself to go to the gym before I joined 180 Strength six weeks ago, and now I can't wait to finish work and go to my evening gym class I am already seeing a massive improvement in my fitness levels and body The atmosphere is fantastic and makes you feel you belong on your first visit! Dan and James got that WOW factor They are exceptional trainers and super professional and qualified. They truly possess unique training techniques and add a personal touch to their training routine! They are both extremely kind, caring, motivating and supportive and are always there for you no matter what fitness level you’re at. Thank you guys so much for everything you do, for being you, and for helping me achieve my fitness goals and feel so Happy A Big Warm Thank You to you all ⭐️

Fantastic experience: Everyone extremely helpful, the trainers and training programs are beyond great. It’s only my second week and I feel stronger already. Highly highly recommend them

Fantastic experience: Epic trainers, epic gym. People are so friendly and knowledgeable, there's always a great atmosphere when training. Sessions are challenging but so much fun! I'd recommend 180 to anybody. I'm stronger and fitter and can't wait to see what's next :)

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I've been to. There is so much support from the whole team! They make you feel so welcome. I've been to other group gyms in the area, but 180 give you so much more for your money. I'm happy to say I have now found my 'forever' gym. If you're thinking of joining, do it, you won't regret it

Fantastic experience: 180 Strength has turned into everything I was looking for, needed, and fulfils all my wants. My personal goals are now expanding, due to the expert, fun, enthusiastic and motivational ways the coaches ( special shout out to Dan!) Run sessions and give you the confidence to keep pushing and achieving. If you are thinking of joining or looking for a different way, this is it. For all I have achieved and all I will thank you 180 Strength

Fantastic experience: Joining 180 is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life(Not exaggerating). When I joined this place I wasn’t able to run, very injury prone , and I was very moody because I was very tired all the time. I joined 180 on a 6 week challenge plan and after the first week itself I made my mind that this will be my future gym.By the time I completed the challenge , my running form is improved, I have big change in the energy level and I feel much better in overall health. This is a fantastic gym!! All the trainers are super nice and take an interest in you no matter what fitness level you’re at. I really like how they set up the training. They give you guidance on your diet and amazingly, they check your food on a daily basis and give advise on what kind of changes have to be made .

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and very nice and helpful staff. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Love this place, no meat heads hogging the weights, all the people there are really friendly. Also the coaches are utterly amazing. Definitely recommend this place

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I ever made was joining their 6 week challenge. I lost 2 stone and feel great. Their classes and nutrition guidelines have been a massive aid to me, I couldn't have done it without them. Everyone there is welcoming and it feels more like a social club then a gym, except for those pesky instructors making us work hard lol (their actually great). My 6 weeks ended and I have decided to stay with them indefinitely. With such great results why would I leave?

Fantastic experience: I was with this gym for several years before moving to London recently, so feel like I can give an honest review. I also had membership to two other chain gyms in the area. In short, this was the best gym in Bournemouth I found for my needs. It will suit people who like to do a lot of weight training and/or crossfit. The gym is slightly out of the way, which meant it was a bit of a hidden gem when I first joined. The space might seem a bit small initially, but it has all the equipment you would need. It boasts more squat racks than the other local chain gyms and the quality of the equipment is also noticeably much better and of very high quality. After a while, the space grew on me and I found the closeness of the equipment to be a bonus. I would also highly recommend the personal trainers at this gym. They are far and away much better than others I saw in the other local gyms. I have interacted with all the personal trainers here (most were here when I initially joined) and they are very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about training. When I first joined the gym, I was pretty bad with form and technique which eventually led to a back injury. I then decided to try personal training here and was very surprised at how much I learned. My form and technique greatly improved and what I learned has stayed with me to this day. I would highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: For a long time I have had a love-hate relationship with the gym. I have joined a number of gyms in the past and after a while, struggled to stay motivated. 180 Strength is completely different and by far the best gym that I have ever joined! I signed up for the six week challenge and am so glad that I did. Since then, I have dropped 20lbs and my fitness levels have gone through the roof. I feel more confident and my energy levels have also improved. The whole team at 180 Strength are so friendly and helpful and you really feel as though they care about helping you to achieve your personal goals. Not only are the small group training and metcon, sessions brilliant, but nutritionists are also on hand to help you improve your diet and overall lifestyle as well. You really get the personal touch! Anyone who knows me knows that I am not an early riser. Now, even after the six week challenge has finished, I am still getting up to go to the gym for 6/7am before work (something that was previously unheard of)! I am looking forward to continuing my progress with 180 Strength.

Fantastic experience: I joined 180 strength after, back and forth debating about stepping in any form of gym. For years I had a mental block about them for some unknown reason. I braved it and went for the 6 week challenge which is completed in small group training sessions. Thanks to the lovely team, I grew in confidence not only in myself but about entering a gym too. With the help off the week by week online lessons, the Facebook group and face to face conversations, Jack and Ellen supported me through reaching my goals and gaining the knowledge not only for the gym but a whole fitness lifestyle. I have changed the way I think about food and fitness and love going to each session, pushing myself each week. Everyone who goes to 180 are friendly, full of support and encouragement and allow you to feel confident and happy to return.

Fantastic experience: Hi there I joined 180 strength about 2 months ago and it has changed my life my relationship with food has improved greatly and my knowledge of nutrition has broadened all this adds to the confidence in getting fit and healthy. 180 gym has helped me alot with not only my physical health but my mental health too.. The community aspect of it is amazing and is what keeps me coming back so on them demotivated days you have friends to cheer you on. Thankyou to Sofia and Emma for the support on nutrition and Tom and kev for the training side and pushing me and keeping me motivated and thanks to James for the initial push to get this journey started. My love for fitness has grown and so has my confidence as I now understand what I have to do to reach my goals and maintain them. So thanks guys. And definitely join if you want to start your fitness journey and change your lifestyle for good.

Fantastic experience: I completed the 6 week challenge and our trainer Paola was really friendly and motivational, her workouts were designed really well and pushed me really hard. It was such a good way to jump start my fitness again, and great being part of a group on the same journey together. Lockdown meant that from week 2 onwards workouts had to be done over zoom but the 180 team including Paola kept us on track which was impressive!

Fantastic experience: I decided to enrol in the 6 week challenge at the end of October 2020 to try to be the fittest and healthiest I could be in the hope of a better recovery after a forthcoming back operation. I'm so happy that I decided to do this. All the trainers are amazing, friendly, professional and always happy to advise. I trained 3 times a week at the Bournemouth gym which is very well equipped and the members there are so friendly and welcoming and I found these morning sessions definitely lifted my spirits. The teams nutritionists provide recipes and advice at the beginning of the challenge and were on hand to advise throughout the challenge. They will let you know if you need to introduce more of a certain food group into your diet and even providing a recipe along with the advice which I found really useful. Then lockdown came again so we went to online classes straight away. These were fantastic and never boring....definitely worth rolling out of bed for Unfortunately on my return to the gym my injury got the better of me and I was unable to complete the course but I found myself feeling so much better with a definite increase in energy, my body more toned and I even lost a couple of kilos and that wasn't even in the full 6 weeks! I also came away with a better knowledge and understanding of nutrition and the foods required to meet my original goal of feeling healthier inside and how to change my food habits to suit my lifestyle. It is amazing how eating healthier becomes a habit. I learnt how to adapt meals to suit the whole family. I can't recommend this challenge enough. If you are feeling that you want to feel better about yourself inside and out and have no idea how to get started then enrol now!!

Fantastic experience: I completed the 6-week challenge just before Christmas and what a great journey it was! The workouts were hard but not where you felt you wouldn't be able to complete them, the nutrition information was informative and helpful and the team were always on hand to help when needed or if you needed a bit of extra encouragement. During lockdown 180 Strength were very helpful and professional offering multiple different options and even extending the 6-week challenge due to it being online. I couldn't recommend the gym and the trainers enough!

Fantastic experience: What a great journey.I challenged myself to change my habits and my diet, however I found it very difficult to do it by myself. That's when I decided to take on the 6 Week Challenge with 180 Strength.  I didn't know what to expect but I knew they could help me reach my goals.I felt the support of the 180 Strength Team from day 1. Although I had a tough first week, they kept me going and I started seeing the results straight away. From diet tips to workout routines, all members of the team were happy to support me and everybody who took on the 6 Week Challenge. Upon Lockdown 2.0 I was so impressed with how they handled everything. They provided with an additional 4 weeks of training and support to ensure that we were supported throughout. I had the best results all thanks to the support of the 180 Strength. I hope they continue with their great work and help many others reach their goals.

Fantastic experience: I've just finished my 6 week challenge (turned into 10 due to lockdown but they were great and did zoom sessions to support and continue motivating) I had never been a gym person but felt very welcome straight away here, everything was adapted to fit me and what I wanted to achieve so I couldn't have been happier. The coaches are all great and help in anyway they can. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Hi, I finished the 6 weeks challenge. I am so glad I joined the challenge because it gave me great rewards on achiving stronger,leaner body.This program was different for me bacause it offered straight, important information about day by day nutrition beside the proper workout techniques. The staff was very professional,motivational and supportive on every training. I strongly recomand to anyone to join the challenge because is life transforming.

Fantastic experience: I did 6 week challenge and it was great. It is perfect place to start or increase your skills in weightlifting. Coachers are nice and really experienced. Sessions were interesting, so it was a real pleasure to come and train here. Thanks to them I know how to do a nice squat now and many more :). The nutrition information we got was really useful as well. Many thanks

Fantastic experience: I did the 6 week challenge with 180 strength in September - thoroughly enjoyed it. Achieved fantastic results as a result of that I joined the 180 barbell classes. Good coaches who are really passionate and always pushes you to achieve best results.

Fantastic experience: Just finished the 6 weeks challenge , I feel like a different person ,I highly recommend this gym all the coaches are fantastic guys +girls relaxed, friendly have great skill and in depth knowledge on training , in here you will properly learn to lift weights The nutritionist side is fantastic you will learn how to eat properly for life not just a crash diet where you pile it back on later . there is lots of support+recipe ideals ,I've now joined so looking forward to future with my new gym! Thanks so much

Fantastic experience: I did the 6 weeks challenge with 180 Strength, and I was impressed with my result. The gym is an amazing facility, well-equipped, and very clean. The staff is fantastic, friendly, helpful, and polite. The classes are intense for every level athlete and I particularly enjoyed the diverse workout combinations. I want to thank the coaches for being very professional and reliable!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my 6week programme at 180strength. The first session destroyed my legs but each session after got easier and I felt fitter each time. Not only did the trainers (especially Jack Suljevic) push me hard to achieve my goals, but the nutritional advice was also really helpful and I am eating healthier than ever and have more energy as a result. This programme was not easy but it definitely delivers results if you're up to the challenge!

Fantastic experience: Hi. I joined 6 week challenge at 180 Strength. I achieved amazing results. I lost 6% of body fat! It was the best choice as I decided to stay with the gym and be a member. I've been to a few gyms in Bournemouth, however for me 180 Strength it's the best. Great, patient, knowledgeable instructors always happy to help and advise. It's more private, if you want to learn technique, achieve your long term goals and stay motivated, it's the place to be!

Fantastic experience: 180 Strength • 6 Weeks Challenge completed thanks to amazing, professional trainers who supported me all way through. Can’t thank them enough!!! The whole experience was wonderful!... tough but so worth all the sweat! Lost 6.25kg and 9 inches in total! So happy with the result! I recommend 180 Strength to everyone who wants to change their lifestyle and body shape! I learned how to eat healthy and how to enjoy workouts :D THANK YOU SO MUCH 180strength, TOMMY ❤️, Nick, Jack, Kevin, Owen, James & Sofia

Fantastic experience: Great gym and staff. I did the 6 week challenge where I lost just over 6kg. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and there is an emphasis on movement (quality not quantity). In the 6 week challenge there is a lot of focus on the nutrition side and counting calories - I felt supported all the way through and they provide a comprehensive meal plan which is easy to follow. I would happily recommend this gym to friends and family!

Fantastic experience: I completed the 6 week Body Transformation Challenge with 180 Strength and couldn't recommend enough. The holistic programme covers nutrition, fitness classes and community support all the way through. James, Sofia and the team of coaches are always on hand to answer questions and whip you in to shape. Results were fantastic and I feel much happier in myself and learned so much to keep myself fit and healthy going forward.

Fantastic experience: Working with 180 strength on my fitness has been such a great journey. They have been nothing but encouraging and supportive of all aspects of my well being not just my muscles. Our sessions were always hard work but always with an element of fun, enjoyment being so important to keep me motivated. I am amazed now at what I can lift, push or press! 180 strength team was always positive and cheerful, and gave me confidence. Within only 6 weeks I had visibly lost weight, gained definition was eating more healthily, felt more energetic and looked better. Thank you from the heart 180 Strength

Fantastic experience: Thanks to 180 Strength I am back I control! I am motivated to exercise and have lost body fat & gained muscle. Loving getting stronger and being challenged by the excellent coaches/trainers. They have done a fab job of switching it up & motivating us throughout the pandemic too. Nice job!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff and everyone just gets on with it! Everyone is there to train. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have paid for and been to many gyms in my lifetime and lasted 6-12 months with no results! I plucked up the courage to join 180Strength a few years ago and it was the best decision I made I’ve lost so much weight, gained muscles I never knew existed, gained fitness friends for life, been to gym bbqs - I could go on and I will and I wear my 180gym T-shirt with pride because I love it!!!

Fantastic experience: Best... gym... ever! Staff are pretty cool too!! We joined as 180 barbell members and became part of a family ☺️

Fantastic experience: I came to 180 strength 2 years ago for a Powerlifting competition and have never looked back! The staff are friendly and knowledgable and give everyone the time of day. Their equipment is perfect for people who are looking to start from scratch to experienced lifters alike. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Fantastic experience: 180 Strength is the friendliest gym I’ve known and I’ve tried quite a few over the years. Staff and members are unpretentious and friendly. Staff are knowledgeable and keen to help you achieve your goals. They share their knowledge and reach out to members so that you feel you are part of a community. The gym isn’t just the physical place, it’s the community of likeminded people who are all trying to get fitter and stronger. It’s a great place.

Fantastic experience: 180 strength demonstrate passion and professionalism throughout their work, whether that be hosting powerlifting meets or providing coaching services. The coaches are friendly and so forthcoming with advice, I would recommend them to anyone looking to meet their competitive, health and fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: This is the friendliest gym I have ever been too. Nothing is too much trouble and there always around to help. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Such educated staff too....they know so much!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place...great advice.... friendly environment and staff

Fantastic experience: Hi guys, I am Jose and I am competing in Powerlifting -83kg. I have been following this sport for a long time. This my first year to compete. I started trying other powerlifting programmes and creating programmes by myself, only seeing afters weeks if they are worked. I decided to come to 180 Strength looking for the best professionals who could help me to reach my next level in Powerlifting. When something is important for you, my recommendation is to go wherever you can find people that have been there or helped others to reach their goals. At 180 Strength, the coaches helped me improved my techniques and made a personalised programme. Just 3 months later, they have not only helped me smashing all my PBs, but I also feel much more comfortable and secure than ever. I also believe that the best is still to come. So, what can I say... I highly recommend this club. Just come and try it yourself. Jose

Fantastic experience: Really love training at this place. Since joining the barbell groups I have enjoyed every second of them and most importantly have got the love back for powerlifting that I had lost before joining. This has been something that the barbell coaches have been key players in, their passion for sport is evident every session, I'm fairly sure some of them have Eleiko plates bedding at home. There's no pretentiousness other than Tommy flexing his tiny biceps in the mirror every now and then. The coaches have patience in abundance and create a supportive atmosphere each session that makes you want to train and progress further as well as being able to have a laugh which is something that I know gets us all turning up week in week out. I know a lot of us value their continued support and expertise but probably don't say it that often so thought I'd post this review. Equipment is also second to none too. Viva 180.

Fantastic experience: In Bournemouth for a few days and needed place which wouldn’t frown upon Olympic lifting and dropping weights! Great set of kit and very helpful staff, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Love the this place. Everyone so helpful and welcoming great atmosphere. Great coaches and dietitions. And if you enjoy powerlifting/weightlifting or even want to try it for the first time this is the place to be. There's lots of good bodybuilding gyms around but none like this. Iv only been in 180 strength a few months but been made to feel very at home in this gym and as part of the team lots of advice encouragement and an excellent gym vibe. Not gonna comment on some of the music selections just to say I being my own headphones lol.

Fantastic experience: Been with the 180 team for 8 weeks now on a remote training plan and seeing great improvements in my squat bench and deadlifts through awesome coaching plans and some fantastic pt sessions, as soon as they see any issues in technique I have popped in for a pt session and the knowledge unloaded has been fantastic a really given me the confidence to lift more.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly staff and an atmosphere that feels more like a community than other gyms I’ve been to previously. Their online remote coaching is much more dynamic than other programs I’ve used in the past and saw me regularly make progressions in strength. I would recommend to anyone who is unsure which program is right for them or has restraints on their time, as having your workouts sent to you via the app makes things super easy and convenient!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. All the staff and members are welcoming and helpful, always willing to offer advice or assistance. Overall great place to train and meet interesting new people. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere with quality kit and staff. Just wish I was more local so it could be my regular. Fantastic gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym, only gym in the area where you can get specific Powerlifting equipment and great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: As a complete beginner to any kind of weight/power lifting I was quite nervous joining 180. I needn't have been, it's such a welcoming gym (not a crazy ego in sight!) and I quickly felt comfortable despite being out of my comfort zone. I joined the 180 Barbell group because I needed to be taught correct form and technique from scratch and Jack has been a great (& patient) coach. All the coaches are fab actually, so knowledgeable and supportive. I initially joined to get stronger and improve my posture but have also lost about a stone and a half over the last few months and gone down 2 dress sizes with minimal changes to my diet - that's next to get sorted. I really look forward to the sessions and it's such a feeling of achievement when you get a new PB. It's also a great stress-buster! I'm so glad to have found 180, I've always hated exercise in general but I have a new hobby which I love but just so happens to be good for me Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Lots of plates, plenty of racks, helpful staff and positive members. What more do you need?! A*

Fantastic experience: Great gym to train at whilst down in Bournemouth

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, great customer service.

Fantastic experience: Well equipped high quality powerlifting gym !!!

Fantastic experience: Came down from birmingham for the weekend with a couple of friends. Excellent gym, clean and professional comp spec equipment, very friendly and helpful staff would recommend to any travelling lifter who needs a gym to train at with a positive atmosphere easy 5/5 :) Thanks 180Strength

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, full Eleiko set up, some great conditioning stations too, perfect for our drop in while in Bournemouth for the weekend!

Fantastic experience: Visited Bournemouth for couple of days and trained at 180 Strength. Lovely atmosphere and great equipment. I’d recommend visiting the gym if you’re around!

Fantastic experience: Despite its size, it’s kitted out with the best equipment on the market, all the trainers are lovely and knowledgeable and there’s a real sense of community at 180 Strength.

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym for powerlifters as it has a full set of comp equipment. I was visiting Bournemouth so trained here as a one off, the vibe was great, so far from your usual commercial gym. You can tell the owners have put a lot of work into creating a great lifting space... only wish there was one closer to where I live!

Fantastic experience: 180 Strength is a great gym with experienced coaches and really friendly customers. Everyone is welcome regardless of their aims or abilities; whether you just want to get fit, improve your lifts, learn good form with weights or whether you need rehab following injury. I joined just over a year ago with no weights experience at all and quickly decided that I love it!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at 180 for just over a year now. The gym is always clean and well laid with the most fundamental equipment without being over run with machines. The staff are friendly and always willing to help, whether it’s a question about an exercise or just helping out with a spot! Always a nice experience going in here.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Great people, place and equipment! 5* atmosphere

Fantastic experience: I've been training here for nearly two years now and I would not train anywhere else now. After years in corporate gyms 180 is a league of its own. The coaches are all friendly, approachable, highly knowledgeable and athletes in their own right. You couldn't ask for better. Everyone is made to feel welcome no matter what and it has such a great atmosphere with some serious banter at times All in all we are like a family and the support is there everyday.

Fantastic experience: 180 strength gym is the favourite gym I have been too. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is awesome. The music isn’t the generic stuff you get in most gyms and the range and type of equipment ensures there is always space to do the important exercise, squats, deadlifts, bench press as well as be creative with other exercises you want to incorporate into your training to maximise results for any type of sport. I personally target my training to compliment my parkour and the conditioning work for have been doing has really paid off. I would definitely recommend this gym for anyone serious about sports and fitness.

Fantastic experience: I will recommend this gym to anybody who loves training & has goals to reach,the knowledge the PT's have is great whether it be with training or injury they can help,come along & you'll see what i mean...the place for gains Following on from my last review I’ve been training here for nearly 2 yrs now & it’s like a 2nd home,everyone trains hard the staff/coaches are always on hand for help,advice or a spot when you’re lifting...it’s just a great place to go & train ! Also if you want to improve your powerlifting skills this is the place to be....Train with Champions

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, really good atmosphere! Trainers are very knowledgeable and always willing to help, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: welcoming gym, high quality equipment

Fantastic experience: Best weight lifting and power lifting gym in Bournemouth. Great all round gym, clean, friendly staff

Fantastic experience: The best S&C gym I`ve ever been to. Great atmosphere and guys there are really knowledgeable and experienced. Always happy to spot. I have been in pretty much every gym in the area - and prefer 180 Strength to all of them!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym! If you want to surround yourself with people that are serious about training and are also genuinely interested in the progress of the other gym members then start training here. There's a great sense of community in the gym and I thoroughly enjoyed my time lifting there.

Fantastic experience: 180 is the best gym... and I’ve been a member of a fair few. The coaches are World class, they really get to know us all and what our strengths and weaknesses are to give hints and tips to improve. I get to train with people from all walks of life and have made some fantastic friends.

Fantastic experience: I joined 180 Strength about a year ago and use Kevin Yeung as a PT. He was great in guiding me towards my personal fitness goals. He is knowledgeable and dedicated. My kicking averages in rugby increased dramatically as a result- thanks Kevin! The gym has a great vibe about it. All the trainers are friendly and approachable. Owen, Tommy, James and the rest make a great team. I look forward to my gym sessions at 180 Strength!

Fantastic experience: Strength 180 is a fantastic gym ,wouldn’t go anywhere else now ! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable but so approachable,encouraging and motivating which is so needed especially after having to train after a busy day at work or first thing in the morning at 6:30am ! The gym has such a fun club feel & so far I’ve taken part in the Dorset plane pull ,& competed at the 180 powerlifting competition . They regularly set challenges to keep the members motivated and having coaches that regularly compete in strength sports to a international level is so inspiring !

Fantastic experience: Went here for their strength club , excellent powerlifitng equipment , very friendly bunch and other gym members are easy to talk to , your always have somebody here to spot you if needed so no need to worry about lifting Heavy as you can, and they will also give you pointers if needed.

Fantastic experience: 180 Strength is an excellent strength and conditioning gym.
