At New Spartan Gym we transform mere mortals into modern day warriors. We combine old school, hardcore methods with innovative new breakthroughs in a never ending quest to achieve the highest level of athletic performance Our training is unlike anything you've ever seen and is guaranteed to develop brutal strength, explosive power and the physique of an ancient gladiator. The training is intense, loud and proggressive, and there's a sense of competition and camaraderie that's unlike anything you'll experience at any other gym. There are no TV's, juice bars or machines. These are all things representative of the contemporary ideal of fitness and of an attitude we consider toxic and counterproductive. If you are driven,dedicated and ready to step up to the next level, then NEW SPARTAN GYM welcomes you

Train in an environment that has an old school gym feel and yet with state of the art training intermingled with proven old school training methods and equipment to get the results you need and have dreamed of being the best you can be.

From tyre flipping and sledge hammer and sandbag training, to kettlebells. With Olympic and power-lifting techniques to increase your explosive speed and power for all sports. Whether its MMA (mixed martial arts) or the need to build strength and power for rugby, or speed, strength and agility for football. Build up your strength in the legs for an upcoming ski trip or just for losing some weight and toning up for the summer. It can all be done at New Spartan Gym

As the gym has such a specialist training methodology we offer a free first TRIAL session to see if you like it and to make sure you have the motivation and commitment to train at this type of gym.

Its about creating a place where people can learn to excel beyond any and all of their expectations. To be the absolute best they can be. And if they are not prepared to do whatever it takes to be the best then they are not prepared to train at New Spartan Gym.

The kettlebell

The kettlebell or girya (Russian: гиря) is a cast iron weight looking somewhat like a cannonball with a handle. The kettlebell has become a popular exercise tool in the United States due largely to the efforts of strength and flexibility coach Pavel Tsatsouline and also by Girevoy Sport world champion and world record holder Valery Fedorenko. Many companies produce their own brands of kettlebells and kettlebell exercise programs. Some modern kettlebells feature adjustable weights. Kettlebell workouts are intended to increase strength, endurance, agility and balance, challenging both the muscular and cardiovascular system with dynamic, total-body movements[citation needed].
Kettlebell lifting has been nationally recognized and played throughout the world for decades, and its competitive exercises are the 'Two Kettlebell Jerk' and 'One Kettlebell Snatch'; performed in that order for ten minutes each. The competitor with the highest overall score wins.
In recent years, kettlebells have become popular among athletes, especially mixed martial artists and those in the entertainment community[citation needed].
Kettlebells are purported to help athletes break through ruts/plateaus, and get their 'core' in top shape
