About us
A note from Tim and Matt
We opened in 2020 because Hoxton needed a proper gym: canal-side on Regent's Canal, independently owned, with the best equipment, and run by people who actually care.
When you step through our doors, you'll be greeted by our dedicated staff, who can help you achieve your fitness goals — or let you train in peace!
We pride ourselves on our equipment. We've invested in the best strength and cardio machines, and have a full free-weights zone. You won't find broken down equipment here. Join for a solo workout, with friends, a class, or coaching session. After your workout, take some time to unwind in our sauna and steam rooms.
Come as you are. No matter what your fitness goals are, we're here to help you achieve them.
We'd love to see you soon.

We are located within the famous Gainsborough Studios, where Alfred Hitchcock used to produce his many films years ago.
Walking through Gainsborough Studios directly down the steps leading to Regents Canal, the gym is signposted.
Uplift Gym is located alongside a picturesque canal. Our gym offers a tranquil setting that adds to the overall ambience. Enjoy panoramic views and a refreshing atmosphere as you exercise, creating a unique and inspiring environment to push your limits.
These can be found in the ladies' and gents' changing rooms. Please remember to shower before entering.
The rooms have a mild eucalyptus scent to keep them fresh and to help you breathe easily.
Uplift Gym provides separate male and female changing rooms.
Due to the size and layout of our premises, we do not have separate unisex or gender-neutral changing facilities. The sauna & steam rooms are located within the respective male and female changing room areas and is accessed through those spaces.
To provide clarity and consistency for all members, access to the male and female changing rooms is based on biological sex, and this policy is applied throughout the gym.
We are committed to treating all members and visitors with courtesy and respect.
Anyone with questions about our facilities is welcome to contact us before joining and we will be happy to provide further information.
We now have memberships for young adults from the age of 15+.
