🏋️‍♂️ 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.

🦍 IT'S ALL ABOUT RESPECT - COMMUNITY NOTICE 🦍

As a small family-run gym, we take huge pride in creating a great atmosphere and keeping the gym clean, welcoming and ready for everyone to enjoy. We want the gym floor ready and available for every member who walks through the doors... nobody should be starting their session by unloading someone else’s bar or tidying up equipment left behind. We all share this space and keeping it right is everyone’s responsibility.

Over the last few days, we’ve noticed an increasing number of weights being left loaded on bars and equipment being left out. This is both an inconvenience and hazard for everyone. We love running the gym and maintaining it, but we ask everyone to do their part too. Our team and other members shouldn’t be spending their limited time clearing up after others.

Simple rule: Put it away when you’re done using it.

We’re proud to have an incredibly respectful community of members who look after the gym and each other. We do have CCTV in place and repeated disregard for gym etiquette may result in memberships being cancelled. If you don't put it away, you wont be allowed to play 😉

Respect the gym. Respect the people. Respect the grind.

(And look at it this way... putting your weights away is technically a few bonus reps and a few extra calories burned… free gains. 😉)

You can jump in at ANY point during the 3 weeks.
No need to wait for a new block to start - just join when it suits you!
