Joy is a membership-based small-group personal training studio, built around the belief that real progress comes from consistency.
Strength training works best when you keep showing up. You don't need to train every day or completely overhaul your life, but training regularly gives you the opportunity to practise, progress and build strength over time.
That's why Joy is membership-only by design. It allows our coaches to really get to know you — how you move, what you're working towards, the weights you're lifting and where you might need a little more support. We can coach you as an individual, while keeping our groups small and delivering a genuinely personal experience.
And just as importantly, membership creates the community at the heart of Joy. You'll see familiar faces, train alongside women you get to know and have a team of coaches who genuinely notice when you're there.
We're not about one-off workouts. We're about helping you build a consistent, sustainable approach to strength training that becomes part of your life.
Our 2-week unlimited trial is the perfect way to experience everything the studio has to offer for just £69.
For two weeks, enjoy unlimited access to our coached SGPT, Power and Restore sessions. Try different sessions, meet our coaches and community, and experience how training at Joy works before choosing your membership.
Choose the rhythm that works for you.
Our memberships are based around Small Group Personal Training (SGPT), with additional Power and Restore sessions to complement your strength training.

More than your monthly sessions.
Being a Joy member means becoming part of the studio, not simply booking a workout.
Alongside your monthly training allowance, every Joy membership comes with:
Complimentary Open Gym
Additional independent training time for members who have been signed off by our coaches as ready to train safely and confidently on their own.
Your training logbook
Track your lifts, see your progress and keep building from one training block to the next.
Accountability & support
Coaches who know you, your training and what you're working towards.
Workshops & events
Regular workshops, socials and seasonal hiking and running clubs.
And the important stuff...
Free tea and coffee, familiar faces and a community of women to train alongside.
How does Open Gym work?
Joy isn't an open-access gym. Our core offering is coached Small Group Personal Training, with Open Gym available as a complimentary benefit for experienced members who are ready to train independently.
If you're new to strength training, we'll help you build the technique, knowledge and confidence you need through your SGPT sessions first.
Members must complete a minimum of six SGPT sessions before Open Gym access can be considered. Our coaches will then confirm when you're ready to train independently.
We'll be looking at more than simply whether you know how to use the equipment. Safe and consistent lifting technique, appropriate load selection, correct rack and equipment set-up, and the ability to train without coaching or supervision are all important.
Some members will be ready after six sessions; others may benefit from a little more coaching first. There's no rush — we'll help you get there.
Open Gym is designed to complement your coached training, rather than replace it.
Good to know.
Bring a friend.
Every member get a free monthly guest pass so you can bring a friend to experience the joy for themself. For every friend you refer to Joy, you’ll receive £25 off your next month’s membership, and they’ll enjoy £25 off their first month too.
Key workers.
Whether you work in healthcare, education, emergency services or social care, we know how physically and emotionally demanding those roles can be.
At Joy, we believe you deserve support too. We offer a 10% key worker discount as a small thank you for everything you do. Please get in touch before signing up to arrange your membership discount.
Please note: Proof of eligibility will be required.
Extra Sessions.
If you’re on one of our lower-tier memberships and would like to train more in a given month, you have the flexibility to add additional sessions as you go.
You can book beyond your monthly allowance at any time — these sessions will be added to your account and charged to your next direct debit.
While our memberships are designed to offer the best value for consistent training, this option gives you the freedom to increase your sessions when you need a little extra.
If you find yourself regularly booking additional sessions, upgrading your membership will offer better value and help you stay more consistent with your training.
Terms
Memberships run on a rolling monthly basis, with a minimum commitment of three months. After this, a one-month notice period applies.
You also have the option to freeze your membership for up to two weeks each year.
For easy booking and session management, we recommend downloading the Joy app: Apple / Android
