The only dedicated strongman gym on the Wirral
Atlas stones, logs, yokes, tyres and a room full of people who'll get you lifting them. We've coached everyone from World's Strongest Man competitors to people who've never touched a barbell.
Try it free. Every Saturday.
Doors open at 10am for new faces. Meet the team, try the events, lift something you didn't think you could. No commitment, no sales pitch.
Built by a competitor
Eleven years at UK's Strongest Man level. Now it's your turn.
Founder Vinny Jones competed in strongman for over a decade before opening Wirral Strength & Fitness in 2017. He built the gym he always wanted to train in: competition-standard kit, coaches who actually compete, and a culture where a first-timer and a national-level athlete share the same platform.
He's also the inventor of the atlas stone tacky used by strongman athletes across the UK, so yes, we know stones.
