Physical Culture

A fantastic gym. Chris and the team are incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you are looking to get stronger no matter what your level, there is no better gym. It has all the equipment you need and some you didn't know existed. If you aren't sure where to start, personal training is available.

I’ve visited gyms all over the world, I’ve seen ones bigger, fancier but nothing quite as well equipped for Powerlfiting. The energy of the place is immaculate, the owner Chris is extremely friendly, and the variety of bars and plates makes it a true paradise for any strength athlete. I’d recommend this gym over any in the area, you don’t find places like this often.

I've been visiting from abroad and had heard good things about Physical Culture. After messaging the owner, he kindly invited me along for a session, went out of his way to take me around the gym and made sure I had exactly what I needed.The gym is incredibly well equipped, plenty of competition standard plates & bars.I strongly recommend Physical Culture to any powerlifter!

My favourite gym in london! Incredible facilities for strength training and the people/culture is spot on! Everyone is so nice and welcoming

Travelling through London and heard about it on social media. Can’t believe there’s such a well equipped strength training gym in London and I didn’t know about it. Mental!Chris the owner was very accommodating- they don’t usually do day passes but let me train. Never seen so many calibrated plates in London- defo best equipped I’ve been to in the uk

I came from Poland to visit London and wanted to train. From DM messaging to an introductory gym tour, Chris (gym owner) made me feel right at home and consequently, I had a very positive and strong workout. Physical Culture is hidden away in Putney and is a real gem. Operating since 1928, the community itself is also strong here.There Is enough old and new equipment for any powerlifter, weightlifter and bodybuilder, which, for its size, is very impressive. There is enough room to move in-between sections without bothering other members. Eleiko PL and WL plates are in abundance. Happy to return, when next in London. A members-only gym, so it is recommended to DM or email Chris to organise a session if you are interested in joining. 5 stars without a doubt.

Trained here during a brief London visit. This gym is the real deal – top notch equipment and vibe. Highly recommended for powerlifting training!

An amazing gym with just about every piece of equipment you could ever need or want, by far one of the best equipped gyms I’ve ever been to; Complete abundance of calibrated plates and top level bars, benches, and racks.There’s a really welcoming atmosphere too so it’s great for newcomers regardless of experience level. Even better is it’s close to the buses and tube stops if you don’t want to drive there, although there’s a decent amount of parking available on the street around the gym if you do.Be near impossible to find a better gym (especially for the value!) in london, 100% recommend!

It is hard to think of a better place to train if you are serious about weight training, especially free weights. Everything you need, no distractions.I was in London for a few days, wanted to train and luckily stumbled upon this place. The manager, Chris, was incredibly accommodating, even knowing I was a one-off visitor. Will certainly train here again when I'm next in the vicinity!

Easily the best gym I’ve ever been to for powerlifting (and I’ve trained in 50+ gyms over the years. Staff and members very friendly too, equipment is first class.
