🦍⚽ SILVERBACK x ST DUTHUS FC ⚽🦍

We’re proud to be sponsoring the St Duthus FC first team away shirt for the 2026/27 season.

After getting behind the club with the tracksuits last season, we were more than happy to keep the support going and get the Silverback logo on the away shirt this time around throughout their new North Caledonian Football League campaign. 💪

At Silverback, we’re all about hard work, consistency and backing your team... whether that’s training in the gym or battling it out on the pitch. That’s why supporting local teams and the people around us is something we’re proud to be a part of.

A massive thanks to everyone at St Duthus FC for having us involved again. We’ll be cheering the boys on from the squat rack!

Good luck for the season ahead lads, we’ll be behind you all the way. 🦍
Make sure you give the Saints a follow and show them some of that Silverback love and support.

🦍 WHERE IT ALL BEGAN 🦍

What started as a simple thought back in 2010/11...''What if we opened our own gym?'' became something far bigger than we could have imagined.

From a wishlist on paper, to business plans, bank meetings, finding the right premises, and eventually making Unit 4a home to our first gym… the idea became real.

For 10 years, Silverback Gym has been part of our lives, our community, and countless people’s journeys. 💪

This slideshow tells a little piece of that story... where the idea came from, how it grew, and how we ended up here.

Here’s to the people, the memories, the hard work and everything still to come.

10 YEARS STRONG. 🦍

🎉 THE COUNTDOWN IS ON! 🎉

OCTOBER 15TH 2016 - 2026

In just under 10 weeks, Silverback Gym will be celebrating 10 incredible years of helping our community become stronger, healthier and more confident.

What started back in 2016 has grown into so much more than just a gym. Over the past decade, we've expanded out to two more locations, built a community where people encourage one another, celebrate each other's achievements, and support each other through every challenge. For many of us, Silverback has become a second home - and the people we train alongside have become like family.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be taking a trip down memory lane with some of our favourite throwback photos and stories, sharing member highlights, running some exciting giveaways, and giving you plenty of opportunities to get involved in our anniversary celebrations.

So make sure you're following our page and keep an eye out...you won't want to miss what's coming! 👀

If you have any memories/photos/videos with the gym you'd like to see us post, send us a DM. We'd love to share some throwbacks!

🏋️‍♂️ BODYBUILDING HISTORY ON THE WALLS 🏋️‍♂️

We've recently put up some classic bodybuilding posters around the gym, and they come with a bit of history!
(Swipe to have a look!)

These posters are part of a bodybuilding set we bought back in 1987/88, created by Joe Weider – widely regarded as the godfather of modern bodybuilding.

The collection features some of the biggest names in bodybuilding from that era and offers a fascinating glimpse into the sport's golden years. If you've been around the iron game for a while, there's a good chance you'll recognise a few familiar faces!

Whether you're a longtime bodybuilding fan or just curious about the sport's roots, they're well worth a look.

👀 Why not come and see them for yourself next time you're in the gym? You might even spot a few legends you remember from back in the day!

🦍🖤BODY IN CONSTRUCTION TESTIMONIAL🖤🦍

This is exactly why we do what we do. 💪

Starting a fitness journey can feel daunting at any age, especially if exercise has never been something you enjoy. Having the right support, accountability, and coaching can make all the difference.

A huge well done this silverback for showing up, trusting the process, and proving that small, consistent steps lead to real results.

If you've been putting off getting started, remember: you don't have to do it alone.

📩 Message us to find out more about our coaching programmes and how we can help you build strength, confidence, and healthier habits for life.

FULL TESTIMONIAL:
"I’m 61 and I loathe exercise, but as life goes on it becomes obvious that your health is important. So I saw the 6-week block at Silverback Gym and during consultation I was clear that I would probably only stick with the gym if I had a coach. Otherwise, I would procrastinate.
Gracie has been great. She is clear in direction and gently encourages me to push beyond my comfort.
It would be so easy to make excuses not to go if I was going on my own, but as I have time slots with Gracie, I turn up and admit that I feel better after, and I’m seeing and feeling a difference."

🏋️‍♀️ REAL RESULTS, REAL SUPPORT 🏋️‍♀️

There’s nothing better than hearing how confidence grows when people find the right environment to start (or restart) their fitness journey 💪🔥

✨ Full Testimonial:

"I recently moved into the area and wanted to get back into exercise. I signed up for the 6 week programme and I loved every bit of it (to the point that I want to do more!) Ruth and Jim have been super supportive and nothing but kind which makes the experience highly rewarding and motivating. I can only recommend them and the space. If you're like me and don't like the idea of loud impersonal gyms or don't feel confident to start, the Silverback gym is definitely a breath of fresh air with a welcoming community feel! Do it."

Thank you for trusting us with your journey! Creating a welcoming, supportive community where everyone feels comfortable walking through the door is exactly what we're all about.
