The Obstacle Gym - Tamworth

I've been a regular at The Obstacle Gym for over a year now, and I'm already planning to increase my visits next year. This place is not just a gym; it's a transformative experience for anyone serious about obstacle course racing (OCR), especially Spartan races.

Firstly, the heart and soul of this gym are Tres, Griff, and their team. These guys are not only friendly but incredibly knowledgeable. When I first approached them to learn obstacle techniques, my goal was to improve my speed and efficiency. They exceeded my expectations! Their guidance is precise, tailored, and delivered with a genuine passion for helping others succeed.

The training location is perfect not just for Spartan training, but for any fictional fitness goals, from XCty, Hyrox, OCR, Ninja, even Parkrun. The team create an atmosphere that's both professional and fun. They offer tiny, yet impactful tips that have significantly improved my competitive racing. I've learned so many valuable techniques from them, they're real gems in the OCR community.

What sets The Obstacle Gym apart are the significant obstacles that accurately reflect the most popular races, particularly Spartans. The varied terrain is ideal for creating a race-like environment. But more than the physical setup, it's the coaches that make this place exceptional. Their dedication to helping participants improve and progress is evident in every interaction. Their knowledge and skill are unparalleled, and their eagerness to share this with trainees is commendable.

The course itself is fantastic, a perfect replica for training. It's an excellent location for honing all your OCR skills, with a wide array of obstacles and challenging terrain. Since I started using this facility in 2023, I've noticed a drastic improvement in my abilities, thanks to the dedicated coaching team.

Moreover, it's exciting to hear that 2025 will bring new obstacles and an overhaul, adding to the anticipation of what's already a top-notch training environment, plus the exciting challenges such as Duel.

In conclusion, The Obstacle Gym is a standout facility, unique in the local area and probably beyond. Whether you're into fitness, racing, or looking to improve your OCR skills, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it to anyone who's serious about their obstacle course racing journey. Can't wait to see what 2025 brings at The Obstacle Gym!

Great obstacles that reflect the most popular races specifically spartan. The course has a varied terrain to train on too when doing a race replica but what really makes this place special are the coaches. Such awesome people who really care about helping participants better themselves and progress. Their knowledge and skill is second to none and they are keen to pass that onto those training. I can’t wait for 2024. Will defo be back!

I started using this facility during 2023 and from the first visit, the team here were always very welcoming and, ready to help and advise as I went round. Containing a wide array of obstacles and tricky terrain, this is a great location for training all your OCR needs. I have since gone on to using the coaches here and improved drastically with my abilities, so if you are looking to improve at OCRs, I would highly recommend!

Such a lovely down to earth training facility for those who want to learn techniques to conquer obstacle races such as Spartan and Tough mudder. These guys are really helpful and can teach basic techniques for 1st timers right through to the more technical obstacles for people wanting to race competitively. It's open to all ages and abilities, even if you don't like running, but like the idea of going over obstacles, give it a go.
