One-to-One Fitness Training London at ´One of the World´s Best Gyms in 2025´ – Men´s Health
Generic plans don’t deliver long-term change. Focused, one-to-one training does. At the Commando Temple, our fitness trainers in London work with you to create a programme that matches your goals, your lifestyle, and your ability. Every session is designed to move you forward – building strength, fitness, and resilience you can rely on both in the gym and beyond it.
We were dubbed as ´One of the world’s best gyms’ by Men’s Health in August 2025, and our local borough awarded us with the Mayoral Prize for our inclusivity and sense of community.
The 4 Winning Traits of Our Fitness Trainers
What sets our coaches apart? Four qualities that make the difference between going through the motions and achieving measurable results:
- Personalisation – your training is built around your specific goals, fitness level, and schedule.
- Accountability – structure and support that keep you on track when motivation dips.
- Technical coaching – every lift, sprint, and drill refined to maximise results and reduce injury risk.
- Holistic guidance – support that extends beyond the gym, covering recovery, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Who We Work With
We design training for people at every stage of their fitness journey:
- Beginners who want to build confidence and a solid foundation.
- Busy professionals who need efficient, results-driven training that fits their schedule.
- Athletes AND WEEKEND WARRIORS seeking performance-focused programming.
- Those returning from setbacks or injuries who need careful progression.
Our Approach to Fitness Training
At the Commando Temple, fitness isn’t about quick fixes – it’s about building sustainable, long-term results that match your lifestyle and ambitions. Every programme begins with an assessment so we can meet you where you are today and design training that evolves with your progress.
We blend different methods to create balanced development across every area of fitness:
- Strength, conditioning, and mobility to ensure you’re not just fitter, but also stronger and more resilient.
- Assessment-led programming that adapts as you improve, keeping training relevant and effective.
- Periodised cycles that structure your progress, helping you peak at the right times without burnout.
One of the unique advantages of training here is the depth of expertise under one roof. If your fitness training is part of a bigger goal – whether that’s excelling at rugby, running a faster race, or improving martial arts performance – we can tap into our network of specialist coaches. From strength and conditioning experts to combat sports instructors, you’ll have access to the right guidance to support your specific ambitions.
The result? A fitness programme that’s not just tailored to you today, but designed to grow with you over the long term.
Training Methods We Use
Your programme may include:
- Exercises and education to remove pain and restrictions within the body
- Free weights and kettlebells to build strength and stability.
- Bodyweight and calisthenics for control and mobility.

- Strongman-style training to develop resilience and real-world strength.
Beyond the Gym
Fitness training doesn’t stop when the session ends. Our trainers help you:
- Shape nutrition habits that fuel progress.
- Apply recovery strategies that boost energy and performance.
- Build the mindset and routines that sustain results long term.
