What is Sanctus Gym and what makes it a hybrid gym?

Sanctus Gym is a community-driven training space that combines the best elements of functional fitness, strength training, conditioning, and specialised classes under one roof. What makes us a hybrid gym is the variety we offer — from high-intensity circuits, CrossFit-inspired classes, endurance sessions to Olympic weightlifting, Strongman, and Hyrox-inspired training. Unlike a traditional gym, we don’t just provide equipment — we provide structured classes, expert coaching, and open gym access, giving you the freedom to train how you want while being supported by specialists in their fields.

How Can I Access Specialised Classes?

Specialised Classes – Pay As You Go (£10 per class) At Sanctus Gym we also offer specialised classes that go beyond our standard memberships. These are unique training opportunities, led by expert freelance coaches who bring advanced knowledge and years of experience in their field. Because these classes are run by specialist instructors, they are not included in Platinum Unlimited or Gold memberships and are offered on a pay-as-you-go basis at £10 per class. Our Specialised Classes include: Strongman – Train with traditional strongman equipment such as atlas stones, yokes, logs, and sandbags. Build raw strength, power, and grit with expert guidance. Hybrid (Hyrox-Inspired) – A high-intensity endurance and strength session combining running, rowing, sled pushes, and functional exercises, designed to test and improve your overall engine. Olympic Weightlifting – Develop explosive strength and precision under the bar by learning and refining the snatch and clean & jerk with a specialist weightlifting coach. These sessions are not just about the workout — they’re an opportunity to work closely with experts, improving your technique, form, and training knowledge while receiving personalised advice you can carry into all aspects of your fitness journey.

Can I sign up online?
