Strength, Speed and Suppleness

The specialists in Strength, Speed and Suppleness: the three POWER components

The Power House at Woking Leisure Centre is one of just 3 high performance, open to all, free-weight training facilities in the South of England. It hosts the Centre of Excellence club, Britain’s best All Round lifting club.

As more sports people, functional fitness fanatics and Olympic hopefuls recognize the value of multi-joint free weight exercises so Power House increases in popularity. The latest trend is for Personal Trainers from the national gym chains to come to us in order to be able to teach our techniques to the sports people who consult them.

It works! Current members include the coach of Guildford’s American Football team; Ellie Spain, now weightlifting but formerly Britain’s best Pole Vaulter; Chris Chea, British Weightlifting and All Round lifting champion; and Georgia Peel, at 15 holder of the British under 20 1500m record. Various Olympians and internationals from many events have passed through our hands over the years, like: Olympic runner Hayley Parry; hurdle medalist David Jenkins; British Lion Will Green; World Champion paired lightweight sculler Beryl Mitchell.

The club is run by volunteers but the coaches are: professional in their know-how and care for the members; qualified and insured; CRB screened. All age groups are welcome & currently we range from 11 to 76. Chief coach, Brian Hamill is still in shape at 72!

The first visit is free though there is a spectator fee to get into the Leisure Centre. Annual subs vary from £16 to £77.
