Southend Street Gym (calisthenics, free weights, combat sports)

My favourite gym I’ve ever been a member of. A very friendly environment, everyone in there is happy to smile and say hello male or female! A superb place to train to learn about Calisthenics from the trainers and the members. Lots of knowledge and expertise in the combat unit side too!

Been training at SSG for 5 years. Having done the circuit of Southend gyms for 12 years. SSG is easily, hands-down, without a doubt, the BEST community led gym around.Family run, non-commercial, pure vibes. Every one & their children can come down (so long as the kids are supervised!)Encouraging, not egotistical. Endless fun, not forever bore-dum" (boredom)

The team and members at SSG are friendly, supportive and always happy to help. I have never enjoyed attending gyms or fitness classes much as it has always felt competitive and like people are judging but it is the complete opposite at SSG.Get down there, try something different, make new friends and support local business!

The best gym I have been too! And wouldn't consider another gym , owners are so helpful and humble ! Made me feel welcome from day one.

Perfect place for my exercise needs. Professional,friendly personal trainers on hand to help if needed. Clean , well equipped and and not overly crowded at busy times,can really recommend this little jewel.

Great gym, really friendly staff who always have the time to help you if you're stuck. Great classes for all levels. If you have goals they'll help you achieve it! Would highly recommend.

Quality gym with calisthenics & martial arts setup & equipment. And great classes. They really do welcome you in like family and have got me (and my mum) through some very difficult times. Highly recommend.

Great local gym. Marco and Ricardo have always been very welcoming and accommodating. I can’t recommend this place enough. Great knowledge from both guys and a great facility.

I've completed 15 PT sessions with Ricardo.Before I started i had very little knowledge & back ground in calisthenics.I was recovering from and broken leg and ankle and I was really impressed with how Ricardo made sure my previous injuries were safe throughout the sessions.One of the main things i've seen an improvement in is my range in shoulder mobility. I had very little confidence in my left shoulder before training and now I can approach more challenging exercises without any fears.Ricardo's variety of session was always packed, with thought out structure and the number one focus was nailing the basics and then lots of more creative work would come.A great place to train. Ambitious, competitive and very supportive!

What is there not to like about this gym. Family run and the complete opposite of commercial!! Friendly staff always happy to guide you and just a comfortable place to train. Recommend 100%. Well don’t guys!!!
