Great environment, classes, and instructors! Stu, especially, is always creating very good workouts and makes sure that your posture and technique are spot on. Every time I finish a workout I feel like my body worked at its best and using all my muscles, creating a very complete training where you mix strength and resistance. Highly recommended and great value! More...

Want to do a proper weights gym class like you used to do before kids, then come to their Strongmother class - excellent instructors who really help you get the best out of your workout whilst appreciating a speedy breastfeed / few squats with baby in arms! I tried loads of mum and baby classes and this by far was the best!! More...

Stuart and Fieldworks gym are just what the Morphogenetic Intelligence ordered. Gyms can involve mindless repetitiveness, with poor practical and functional strength translations. Crossfit would be an option, if not for doing Olympic lifts for time, and the risk with injuries that doing heavy weights as quickly as possible- cue poor form - entails. Fieldworks strikes the perfect balance. Varied functional workouts that are different every time. Small groups so you can get the 1:1 support to monitor your form. A balls to the wall hour long workout that has you dripping with sweat. Sweet spot timings like 7am, and 630pm. Bodyweight, kettlebell, barbell and 'strong mother' classes. From a place where my gym membership was lying completely unused, it's a boon to be able to get to a place where I'm working out everyday morning at 7am, and gutted if I miss even a single workout. And that's not even getting into the rollover benefits into the rest of my life that a solid workout regimen brings. Far and away the best gym I've ever trained at. More...

I started strong mother classes when my son was around two months old and have been coming pretty much every week since. I absolutely love it! The instructors are amazing and there is always so much variation in each session. I have surprised myself with how much fitter and stronger I have become, and just want to keep improving. Thank you all! More...

I’ve been going to classes at Fieldworks for a year and a half now and thanks to the team there my strength and fitness levels have grown substantially! As the class size is small this ensures that you always get the attention you need to improve technique, to prevent injury and also the push to progress.The gym team and the guys that head down there to train are super friendly and it’s great to workout in a welcoming environment where everyone gets the job done without ego or unhealthy competitiveness.After one class I was hooked and I highly recommend paying them a visit!!!

As a newbie to fitness (of any kind) I was pretty daunted by the prospect of turning up at the gym- especially one like Fieldworks which is built around group training and as such there is less opportunity to fade into the background. I needn’t have worried. The classes are attended by people with varying degrees of experience and plenty of total beginners like me. So you quickly get to that sweet spot where you feel comfortable but you also want to improve and push yourself. The classes vary with each trainer but all of them share a real focus on helping attendees improve or maintain their form and fitness whether that’s the perfect squat or the ability to push past last week’s breaking point!

A great gym - Fieldworks has helped me get fitter than I thought I'd be - and have surprisingly enjoyed it. Challenging classes with inspiring trainers, an encouraging and supportive environment, and really reasonable rates. This isn't bootcamp - rather, the approach is to push but support along the way, with activities tailored to each person's abilities. Every time is different, so it's not boring and keeps everything feeling fresh. More...

Welcoming, friendly and fantastic - the gym is a great space where everyone from all levels and abilities train together. You really get a sense that Stuart and his team know you, your ability and how to get the best out of you - getting the best of both worlds with group training and a personalised experience you'd often only get with a personal trainer . Having been to quite a few gyms over the years, I can say Fieldworks strikes the perfect balance between competitive spirit and inclusivity, resulting in a community atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again.

I started using Simple Sessions just after Christmas in an attempt to fix the standard 'overindulgence'. I have found the sessions incredibly interesting, great variety but also structured so that it is easy to see you progress over the weeks. Previously I have never bothered using PTs and just trained myself. However, after these I view it completely differently and look forward to more Simple Sessions. Thanks More...

I decided to try the Simple Sessions online programme to help focus my attention after a few months of haphazard training around my knee rehab. James and I are trainers in the same gym, so I've known him for a couple of years and he knows his stuff, so I knew I could trust that his programme would be the kick up the butt I needed to get back on track. And I was right. The programme is easy to follow with regular progression built in, so I'm improving every day. I'm considerably stronger than I was a couple of months ago and noticeably bigger through my upper back and arms. Totally recommend. More...

I started simple sessions with James just to see how I would respond to a more structured training plan, but not having the time or expense to meet with a trainee regularly. I was already doing quite a bit of fitness and classes but I wanted to see if there would be a difference.There was! I have followed his guidelines complete with videos, questions and answers and online support. The exercises vary and don't skimp on form or neglect the body parts which I was apt to do before. As a result I have learned many new techniques without fuss or over complication. I am now definitively stronger with more consistent energy and better posture. Although these are strength exercises, they have contributed to better stamina as I approach my first half marathon, and also reinforce my yoga practice.James is thorough and is not into fads and fitness hype. Just logical helpful exercises from a supportive guy who knows his stuff and can help you answer your questions. Though I just signed up for the fitness portion, preferring to model my own nutrition, he is great with this too without being confusing as so many fad diet plans can be.You can't really go wrong with this program. As long as you listen to your body and take the appropriate rest, you will gain strength and energy :) Don't be afraid to shoot James questions and remarks; he is always very prompt at responding and putting your mind at ease and working with you and your schedule/goals!Thanks James!

I've been doing the Simple Session programme for 1 month now and I love it. The varied workouts stop me from becoming bored and I like that the online system helps me keep track of my progress, progress which I am already seeing! I also like that on rest days there are mobility sessions to do, these have helped me massively (I don't remember ever being able to touch my toes, but I can now!!). James has been really helpful in finding alternative exercises for me due to injury and is always contactable through the online programme - I'd 100% recommend. More...

During my 11 day holiday in London Fields I had the pleasure of doing a few strength and conditioning classes with Stu and his group at Fieldworks Gym. My experience over 3 sessions was awesome. Stu structures his sessions really well and takes the time to provide very constructive feedback to each person. The sessions were very challenging and rewarding. The studio had enough space for everyone and the people were welcoming. Everyone was just there to train and get better. I highly recommend Fieldworks Gym and Stu's sessions. More...

I have been scouring East London for quite some time to find a gym like Fieldworks. Stuart and the other trainers are fantastic and extremely welcoming. Despite having trained with kettlebells and free weights for over 6 years, in a very short time at Fieldworks, my technique and form have improved massively due to their tip top coaching! All in all a super friendly fun bunch of people to train hard with, you couldn't ask for more from a gym. More...

I have just completed a fantastic 10 week body strength course with Stu at Fieldworks. I'm a dedicated runner, a dutiful swimmer, and a cycling commuter, but I have always avoided gyms as they generally strike me as machine-focused, testosterone-driven places. My partner persuaded me to try out Fieldwork for strength training -- he'd done a special course for road-cyclists with Stu and had loved it. I went with low expectations and came away completely converted. No machines in sight -- Fieldworks is a spacious and airy gym with lots of strength-training equipment but more importantly, with excellent coaching. Stu clearly loves what he's doing and it comes through in his coaching. He'll work with you whatever your fitness level, gender, or age and he'll get the ebest out of you. The sessions were always varied, always well planned, and always both demanding and hugely enjoyable -- your entire body gets a wake-up call. I noticed the effect of the sessions on my running; the sessions quickly became one of highlights of my week and I'm already looking forward to the next set. More...

To be honest I have always been the type of guy that would always have a gym membership but never really goes on a regular basis. Since I joined Stu's gym 10 months ago all of that has changed. The gym has a great atmosphere and I cannot imagine the trainers being more supportive and helpful. The classes are hard as you want them to be but it is also a lot of fun. Really important - a great deal of time is spent improving technique and the exercises are taught to a very high level. I have learned a lot. Highly recommended! More...

Been going to Fieldworks Gym for the past few weeks as was looking for a class to help me build up strength and align movements after hours of sitting in a chair or on a bike. Stu is a brilliant teacher, makes sure techniques are correct to not cause injury and get maximum benefit and is forever patient when it takes a bit of practice to get a new posture. The lunch time session is supposedly less intense than the early morning and evening sessions but there are fewer people and it's definitely a focused well-taught work-out. Highly recommendable.

I've just completed another suite of private sessions at Fieldworks and have now joined the group classes and it's terrific.

This is a great gym that will really give you a proper grounding towards improving your form and endurance while exercising safely and sensibly. More...

Stu's new gym is a great space and he really knows how to get the best of you at the sessions keeping the vibe really friendly and relaxed if you've not done this kind of thing before. I've always been a regular runner and swimmer but the group classes have motivated me to try out some new things I thought I'd never do. What's great is that he mixes things up all the time so the classes never feel repetitive and keeping you motivated. Doing proper warm up and cool down stretches at the beginning and the end of the sessions is great at making sure you don't get any injuries and teaching you some stretches you didn't know before. This place really is the whole package and even got me down at 6:30am sessions during the week. Keep it up and highly recommended! Paul More...

I've been a member for over 2 months now whereas beforehand I was a member of a typical commercial gym since June (6 months). In the passed 2 months training twice a week I feel stronger and far fitter than when i was going to the commercial gym 4X a week! It's so much better to know that all you need to worry about is turning up and giving it your best effort as the very personable Instructors will have a well structured unique workout plan for each session. I've discovered that group training encourages a better performance from you too. The instructors are most helpful and thoroughly explain and help us all to progress with exercise technique. If you can't do a particular exercise then they're happy to suggest easier alternatives. If you're limited with your time available for training each week then I've found training at these classes to be the most effective use of limited time. More...
