Started going to the gym since last 2 months, I am not super trained like everyone, but have been trying snd Gary has been absolutely helpful and encouraging! Definitely recommend it. I am a new bee and take time to comprehend but Gary makes everything very easy to understand & teach the right techniques.

I?ve had a fantastic experience at Legion, thanks in major part to Gary. From the outset, I was impressed by the time taken to understand my prior lifting experience, any health challenges or injuries to be navigated and the flexibility around my work schedule.Gary is an extremely competent coach with a genuine care for his clients' success. He answered every question I had with patience and enthusiasm, providing valuable insights and cues to enhance my lifting techniques. His dedication to my progress was evident in every session; it felt as though he wanted my success as much as I did.I had 1-1 coaching for 6 weeks, far exceeded my expectations going into it, and had a great laugh in doing so.Legion, with Gary at its helm, is a haven for anyone seeking not just a gym but a supportive community where your goals become their goals, and your success is celebrated as their own.

I have been coming to Legion Barbell for a few weeks doing two classes per week. Garry is a very knowledgeable trainer and has helped me alot during the classes. I prefer LB compared to other gyms/clubs as the classes are limited to a small amount of people rather than 20-30 people per class. If you're on the hunt for a new gym (or an additional one!) I highly recommend Legion Barbell!

I enjoy the sessions taught by Gary at Legion Barbell. The programme is a thoroughly relevant and challenging course in all aspects of flexibility, strength and conditioning.It is an enjoyable, yet demanding and rewarding experience. I would highly recommend the Legion classes.

Absolutely brilliant gym, perfectly equipped for Olympic lifting. Garry is a really patient and technical trainer - great for anyone from novice to expert lifters. This is quite a new gym, a treat for anyone in the Dover/Folkestone area and frankly well worth a trip from London, if you are booking personal training.

I've been going to the Legion classes for about 4 weeks now. I am an absolute beginner who has always been interested in weightlifting. However, as a woman, I have sometimes felt intimidated to go to the busy weight sections at the usual gyms. I wasn't too sure about the classes because of this but Garry explained how they worked and I felt able to give it a go.On doing them, they are great and I would strongly recommend them to anyone. They are supportive and encouraging, adapted to anyone's ability. I have lacked confidence to try before as I have worked desk jobs for years, a little bit overweight, pretty weak all round and have tight hamstrings. This is the reason I have kept going.The classes are small and affordable for the instruction, planning and guidance you are given - it works out at about £5 a session if you sign up for 2x week class membership (comes with free gym time too).Lastly, Garry is also incredibly knowledgeable and takes time to teach the right technique to each move. If you want to learn the right technique in a supportive environment, in an affordable way, this is the place to be.

Honestly, if you?re a beginner in the gym or been a few times with your mates when you was younger and couldn?t really get in to it. Forget everything you thought you knew about going to the gym. There?s no ego?s or looking down on others. Gary is a professional, very knowledgable and calm in his approach to teach you the correct techniques for training. Couldn?t recommended this gym enough. Thanks!

I joined Legion 4 weeks ago. I?ve got various experience with lifting weights however had a 2 year break due to covid and then being pregnant. I was starting essentially from scratch with low confidence. In 4 weeks I am fitter than I?ve been in years, I?ve gone from squatting 0kg to 35kg and my confidence is through the roof. Garry is brilliant. He knows his stuff and has made the gym a warm and welcoming environment. Everyone is welcome regardless of ability. It?s all tailored to you whether you?re a beginner or an ex strong man.

I didn't know what expect and never imagined I would enjoy it as much as I do. Gary and his expert instructions have made me feel comfortable and motivated to train and learn the 'right' way do it. Training with likeminded people in small but friendly classes, has given me at 55 and slightly overweight, the confidence to train and achieve my own goals in my own time and without a mirror insight. A must to join for anyone wanting to make a really change and be part of a friendly and supportive club.
