The Gymshark Lifting Club.
Our very own elite fitness and wellness space, and for some, a second home.
Tucked into the very heart of Blythe Valley Business Park in Solihull (UK), The Gymshark Lifting Club (GSLC), is more than just a gym. It’s a place where the conditioning community can come together to train, connect, and chase PR’s year-round.
The space is laced with lifting culture: from motivational slogans, to photos of iconic legends who shaped the industry and continue to inspire the next generation of lifters. It opened in 2019 and quickly unveiled itself as a one-of-a-kind innovation hub that was designed for learning - and lifting. But, much like the athletes that train there, it’s evolved - not only encouraging lifters to reach their 1RM, but supporting those now training for hybrid events like Hyrox and marathons too.
From the early hours to the late-night-lock-ins, it’s a space for our community to call home. Let’s show you round. But first…

A Look Inside The Gymshark Gym
Some would say that it’s a dimly lit, 20-000sq ft industrial warehouse. We see it as a place where Bodybuildings, CrossFitters, Olympic Lifters, and recreational gym-goers can unite on their conditioning journey.
Kitted out with some of the best gym equipment in the world (we’re biased), The Lifting Club is a huge space holding 13 Olympic-grade weight-lifting platforms and a large outdoor yard that is used in all-weather conditions for bootcamp classes, basketball games, and more. On the gym floor, you’ll find a free weights area with a large mirrored wall, multiple squat racks, a walking track, a functional zone used for calisthenic classes, and a plethora of weightlifting machines.
The Lifting Club also features a studio space with soft, spongey floors for wellness activities (and the occasional sparring session). You’ll find yoga, pilates, and mobility classes taught here - just remember, no egos, and no shoes.
In the center of the LC, you’ll find an X-shaped drinks bar to hydrate, chat to coaches, and mingle with other employees. And it’s not all about fitness - DJ’s and muscians have all taken center stage at the heart of the LC to provide tunes to power our workouts and events.
This isn't just a gym; this is an athlete’s playground. Take a look.
The Lifting Club Coaches
It’s not every gym where you feel like the trainers are part of your family, but it’s different at the LC. Our four coaches are very much part of the woodwork here at Gymshark, providing training tips, varied classes, and a friendly face for whoever passes through the doors of the LC.

Events At The Lifting Club
More than just a traditional gym, The Gymshark Lifting Club is also used to host internal and external events. The sheer size of the LC makes it an excellent space for hosting large numbers and it only makes sense to utilize this space and share it with as many people as we can.
Previous Event Highlights:
Events we’ve previously had the opportunity of hosting have spanned across the entire fitness and wellbeing industry: from the Junior British Powerlifting Championships, to bodybuilding events, HIIT-based late-night spin events and athlete takeovers. Each event differs, but you’ll frequently see unique classes built specifically for each athletic cohort, and you can bet that we’ll bring a roster of athletes along to each one.
Here's some insight into our past events 👇
Junior British Powerlifting Championships
We hosted the British Powerlifting Juniors comp in the LC across a four-day period where we stripped out all our gym equipment, brought in some tiered seating for spectators, and hosted an official competition which we streamed across our Twitch channel. A few British powerlifting records were smashed that day by various competitors who attended the LC meet, and of course, the atmosphere was euphoric.
After Hours Spin Event
We transformed the LC into a nightclub space for our community After Hours event: think dim lighting, strobe lights, laser beams, and smoke machines. Attendees could get a little boost for the workout with pre-workout shots available at the bar, followed by a high-energy spin class that hosted up to 75 people.
Gymshark66
A first for the LC; for the duration of Gymshark 66, we hosted open gym sessions every weekend for the public to attend. This was a great way for our community members to mingle and enjoy everything the Lifting Club has to offer, and we’re sure it won’t be the last.
