I was suffering from lack of confidence and people skills due to being Autistic. I was looking for a hobby and Hostile made me feel very welcome. I have grown physically and mentally in the 6 years as a member. I am a different person now compared to the shy unconfident person i was before.

I found Hostile through a google search. I was at a place where i wanted a change in lifestyle. At Hostile i was made very welcome and on day 1 people were chatting away to me as if we had already known each other. I have developed vastly during this time. Not only being healthier and happier but also in making new friends.

I joined Hostile with my partner as we were both looking to get involved in a more serious style of training. We have both been members 3 years now and we love it. There is so much experience in the gym from the vast range of members from different sports backgrounds. Its the type of buzz you simply cant buy.

Hostile for me is a massive personal help. I am currently in remission from cancer and during the time the support and help i got within Hostile was second to none. The gym not only helped me get back to health physically but the members kept me focused and clear in the head. This became a place where i could escape my thoughts and just focus on training and improving. It was what i needed and will continue to be so.

Since I stopped training as an athlete, I found it difficult to motivate myself to work out consistently at the gym. I didn’t enjoy going myself and felt quite self conscious. Since joining Hostile over a year ago, I’ve been training consistently, 4-5 times per week. I look forward to training there as it has a real community and I know even if I turn up myself, I’ll be training alongside friends.

I had began competing in strongman and had relative success at novice level. I then joined Hostile as i had seen how well equipped they were. From there the facilities helped me train towards entering Scotland's strongest man. 3 years later i then won and i am the current 2022 Scotland's strongest man and looking forward to continuing my training to defend my title in this great gym.

Joining hostile has helped with Kayleigh’s confidence massively as well as mental & physical health through loosing around 3 stone. We’ve met some amazing people who have become great friends who are always ready to show support. Not only did we meet our coach through the gym but we met each other here too. You’re always made to feel welcome & like your part of a community.

I joined the gym with my husband as i wanted to build my strength up as my daughter is in a wheelchair and getting bigger with age. I actually fell in love with weight training and it has helped me to lift my daughter out of her wheelchair. Furthermore when the schools are off i can also bring her to the gym in her chair with me. Hostile is a great gym that accepts everyone from all walks of life and makes them feel wanted and accepted. Its a a great place to train and develop.

I had tried lots of other gyms and felt that i was being judged and i didnt really fit in. I was overweight and struggling daily. When my son was born i promised i was going to change my life. I then found Hostile and immediately felt that what i was being told was exactly what i wanted. I am 7 and a half stone lighter and much stronger than i could have ever imagined. This place changed my life.
