Strongman Training
in Hitchin
Farmers carries, sled work, loaded carries and odd-object strength — train the events that build real-world power at Square One's strength-sports-friendly facility in Hitchin.
Strongman training is about moving awkward, heavy things — and very few gyms let you do it. At Square One you can push and pull sleds, carry farmers handles, work with sandbags and build the total-body strength that strongman demands.
Our coaches can programme event-style conditioning alongside your barbell base: deadlift variations, overhead pressing, carries and loaded conditioning that transfers directly to strength sports — or simply makes you the strongest version of yourself.
Whether you're curious about strength sports, preparing for a novice strongman competition, or want a more physical style of training than machines can offer, Square One gives you the space and kit to do it properly.

Common Questions
Do I need to be strong already to start strongman training?
No. Events scale to any level — lighter sleds, smaller carries and sensible progressions. Our coaches meet you where you are and build from there.
Can I prepare for a strongman competition at Square One?
Yes. We can programme event-specific training blocks around the events at your target competition and coach the technical lifts.
Is strongman training safe?
Coached properly, yes. Carries, sleds and loaded movements are among the most natural ways to train — technique and sensible loading come first.
