- 12 adjustable benches

01Our story
Started in a unit. Built by members.
Gym Lab opened in 2016 in half of this unit, with four racks and a lot of second-hand plates. Members asked for more kit, more space and more coaching, and every year we added it.
We are still independent and still on the floor every day. No head office, no sales targets. Just a gym we would want to train in ourselves.
“I wanted a gym where a first-timer and a powerlifter both feel at home. That is still the whole plan.”
Andre Lewis · Founder, Gym Lab Sample
