Our parent company name of Gym Professor was a nickname adopted by founder Matt. Matt's Gym Professor work was largely free - talks in schools and prisons and articles online and in magazines. While Matt's inventions sparked the retail arms of the business, Gym Professor (incorporating The Gym Revolution and @theGym among it's trading names) has remained true to its roots and continues to offer free work in the community, including but not limited to the Gym Professor Foundation Course in Strength Training for local students, the NGAGE Community Programme, and free online classes during the pandemic via it's @theGym Team. The Gym Professor company also founded and runs events such as North Somerset's Strongest Man (supporting The North Somerset Agricultural Show) and OLO RAW (raising funds for The Grand Appeal and ATAXIA UK).
Our @theGym facility plays host to many in-house events and educational workshops, which are open to the wider public. If you are interested in attending a talk or workshop, please check out our EVENTS page. Former guests include World's Strongest Man Eddie "The Beast" Hall, Europe's Strongest Man Big Loz (a regular face @theGym!), S&C Coach Andy "IronMac" MacKenzie, and Ma Strength from China for their Level 1 & 2 in Chinese Weightlifting.
