I joined LNX1 on day one, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself in a long time.
I’ve been training for over 25 years now. Like a lot of lads, I started in the gym as a skinny teenager wanting to build a bit of muscle and confidence. Back then, I thought training was purely about how you looked. As the years have gone on, I’ve realised it’s given me far more than that.
Training has shaped my mindset, discipline and resilience - not just in the gym, but in everyday life too.
Over the years, I built a solid strength base and always enjoyed training hard, but I started to realise something was missing. I could still lift well, still looked in decent shape, but my engine and overall fitness weren’t where I wanted them to be anymore.
I’d always been interested in functional fitness and CrossFit style training, but never really took the leap.
Then LNX1 opened.
Truthfully, I was nervous walking in for that first evening class. Starting something new after training a certain way for so many years can be daunting, especially when you know your fitness has some catching up to do. But alongside my good friend Simon, we walked through the doors on day one and haven’t looked back since.
Since joining, I genuinely feel fitter, stronger and more capable than ever. Not just physically, but mentally too.
The coaching, the environment and the people make the place what it is. You train hard, you push yourself, but there’s always support there from everyone around you.
One of the biggest things for me has been the community. I’ve met some brilliant people and built real friendships along the way.
And of course, training under Sammy has been an absolute pleasure. His knowledge, energy and passion for what he’s building at LNX1 shines through every single day.
LNX1 has become far more than just a gym to me. It feels like a second home and a second family.
I’m genuinely excited to keep improving and see where the journey goes next.
