Oldtime Strongman Training Classes at London’s Commando Temple with resident strong woman, Mayyah Blair, and our prize Arm Warrior, Dan Thomas.
Strongman Classes
Whether you’re preparing for a Strongman competition or just want to see what you’re made of, get set for a strength training workout that challenges you like no other at the Commando Temple Gym’s Oldtime Strongman Classes.
Strong woman Mayyah will have you carrying your training partner around the block on your shoulders, building isometric tension in your body through partner-assisted resistance drills, then exploding into action with an assortment of specialised strongman training techniques. We regularly include kettlebell drills, sandbag & keg carries, loaded steps, carrying weights down the street and flipping tyres in our weekly training programs.
Oldtime Strongman Training Classes are attended by beginners and veteran athletes alike, forming a strong, motivated, supportive and encouraging community. Expect to be welcomed, tested, and pushed to your limits in this high energy (and high volume) workout session where keeping up with the crowd is the order of the day. All with a powerful background soundtrack from the Gym’s sound system and your classmates calls to spur you on as you squeeze out that all important last rep, step or flip! Every class is a Strongman event of its own.
There’s no better introduction to the Strongman world for those looking for gym classes with a difference or for ambitious competitors looking to supplement their training program with some of the strongest and most experienced gym instructors London has to offer. Whether you’re looking to torch body fat or get ready for the next strongman event, we guarantee strong results!
And it’s not just for the boys. Oldtime Strongman Classes are open to the Strong Women in our lives as well, all are welcome.

Strongman Events Training
Different to the Old Time Strongman class, the focus here is purely on the events you’ll be doing in competition.
Every Saturday, we will gather to lift, carry and move some heavy weights around.
The structure is simple, an overhead lift, a carry and a loading event, trained to max effort, then finished off by putting all 3 together under the same conditions you would be doing them in competition.
Expect log press, axle press, yoke, farmers walk, Hussafel stone carries, Atlas stone loading and much more.
They will run on a 3 week rotation and then switch to a different set of events following the same template.
This is the perfect class for all levels of strong men and women alike.
Be Stronger.
