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

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 unrivalled willingness of not just the PTs, but every single member of the gym & combat sports centre to assist, aid & push you...

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!

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 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.

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. ...
