Est. July 2024 · Ripley, Surrey
Swole Gym opened in July 2024 to be something the UK didn't have enough of: a proper gym for grown-ups, with a capped membership and a doctor down the hall.
Why we built it
Swole started as a clothing brand — Get Swole, Stay Swole — worn by the same lifters who kept saying the same thing: the UK didn’t have a gym worth the name. Crowded floors. Missing kit. No one paying attention to actual health.
So in July 2024, founder Max London built the answer. Membership is capped, because a workable floor shouldn’t be a slogan. The kit is plate-loaded Prime and MYO Strength — the sort most UK gyms don’t buy. And there’s a private GP on site, because anyone training regularly deserves blood work, not guesswork.
It’s a members’ club, strictly for over-21s, on a farm just off the A3 — and it’s run like somewhere that’s glad you came.

The communityThe first year
Swole Gym opens at Valentines Farm in Ripley — and the white neon SG sign goes on the wall.
An infrared sauna and a cold plunge — recovery built into the membership, not sold back to you.
An on-site private doctor: consultations, blood work, hormone profiling and referrals.
A free-access day with food, music and the whole community in — one year in the books.
130+ reviews — and the list is still growing.

Swole began as activewear — Get Swole, Stay Swole — before it was ever a gym. Swole Gym is owned and operated by Swole Gym Clothing, and the range is still going. Looking for the old gym page on the clothing site? It moved — you’re in the right place.
