Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK
Tucked away in the scenic Cotswolds is the town of Stroud. And hidden within Stroud is the amazing Fortress Gym. This place is an absolute gem for locals who get to use it daily. And take the detour and visit if you ever find yourself roaming around the West parts of the UK and like to try out some of the worlds best gyms.
Atmosphere
The hallmark of a good gym is one where you go to train and have a great workout whatever you ability or aims may be. It may be the influence of the founders, the other people working out or Mr Hector the dog which makes the atmosphere so good. Whatever it is, its spot on for a gym.
Founders
Established by Rebecca and Tom Warren this is a gym that covers everything they love. Rebecca is degree educated nutrisionist, crosfitter and competitive figure athlete who also specialises in eating disorder recovery and mental health. Tom is a former professional rugby player, powerlifter and managing director at a software firm. They are also jolly nice people, which adds to the whole experience if you get to meet them.
Kit
The selection is really well thought out and well maintained. Something for everyone. We have done back days and leg days when visiting all of which have been great. Solid and well working kit
Recovery Room
A good workout needs good recovery. With the founders being so focussed on the totality of physical health and being very advanced has shone through in this part of the facility which is also supported by having great coaches present in the gym.
