An Independent Gym
Near Stevenage
Ten to fifteen minutes up the A602 from Stevenage, Square One Gym in Hitchin offers what the big chains can't: proper strength facilities, real coaching and a community that knows your name.
Stevenage has no shortage of budget gyms — what it lacks is an independent training gym where coaching, standards and community come first. That's why a growing group of Stevenage members make the short trip up the A602 to train at Square One in Hitchin.
The drive typically takes 10–15 minutes depending on where you are in Stevenage, and our location at 3 Hunting Gate is on the near side of Hitchin with free parking on site — often faster than getting across Stevenage itself at busy times.
Members from Stevenage come for specialist personal training, coached group sessions, serious strength equipment, and extras like medical-grade body composition analysis and professional wrestling coaching that simply don't exist locally.
