GBGBFirst time training in a powerlifting gym and it was incredible. World class equipment and atmosphere. There is a real community feel to the gym and I felt very welcomed. 5/5 easily
GBGB"I had the pleasure of training at Physical Culture for almost a year, and it was truly a dream gym. From the vast array of equipment to the heavy weights and the authentic atmosphere, it embodied everything I love about a proper gym. Starting my fitness journey there was incredible, and I was constantly inspired by the energy of the space. Unfortunately, I had to relocate, but I’d go back in a heartbeat. It’s a place that truly set the standard for what a great gym should be."
GBGBThis is the best gym and powerlifting training facility in London. There’s no shortage of free weights, and the people at the gym are friendly. Definitely the place to train if you’re near Putney.
USUSFound this gem of a powerlifting gym when traveling from NYC to London on my way to IPF Master's World Championship in South Africa. The gym was very easy to find in East Putney and was very close to the tube. The gym owner was very kind and accommodating. The gym has all the equipment needed for powerlifting training, and I was able to get in all my lifts very efficiently. Highly recommend this gym for anyone traveling in London who needs to fit in a training session. Also a great gym for locals who are powerlifters or who are interested in learning how to powerlift or who want to learn proper strength training technique for general health. Really appreciate the kind hospitality and look forward to returning in the future.
