Personal Strength Training, on your doorstep
Personal Strength Training at Ultimate Strength is one to one, supervised, and brief: a single forty-five-minute session a week on MedX, Nautilus and Cybex equipment, following High Intensity Training (HIT) - a slow, controlled, one-to-one strength protocol, distinct from HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).
For East Finchley residents, the geography is the main argument. The studio is closer than your nearest big-box gym, the appointment is short, and the recovery between visits is measured in days rather than session-stacking. Most local clients walk in and out.
Who comes from N2
About a quarter of our regular clients live within a fifteen-minute walk of the door. They tend to fall into a few groups, and most overlap two or three.
- People in their 50s, 60s and 70s who want supervised loading without the noise and queueing of a conventional gym.
- Clients managing lower back pain. Lower Back Rehabilitation is the largest single reason people first come in, often on the recommendation of a local GP, osteopath or physiotherapist.
- People recovering from a procedure or surgery who have been cleared to load and want supervised progression.
- Adults with osteoporosis or osteopenia training for bone density alongside whatever their doctor has advised.
- Working professionals who want their training to fit between school drop-off and a morning of calls, not eat the evening.

Why supervised strength training matters
Being the wrong side of 60 and having read that ‘muscle strength’ wastes away the fastest I decided to go to Ultimate Strength. Yoram has tailored each individual exercise with each piece of equipment so that if I don’t go to him twice a week I actually miss the ‘challenge’ of seeing if I can improve the number of ‘reps’ he sets.
