Brixton Street Gym

London

The first iteration of the south London gym was built by volunteers in a converted loading bay. Founder and calisthenics fanatic Terroll Lewis wanted to provide an accessible training space for the local community – cheap day rates, cash accepted. In 2019, it found a new, improved home in Brixton: more space, new equipment and a class roster that encompasses everything from circuit training and handstand tutorials to boxing, Muay Thai and kids’ classes.

Its impressive outdoor yard space is kitted out with battle ropes, tractor tyres, prowler sleds and pull-up bars – pretty much everything you might need to give your body a serious beasting. You won’t feel the chill.
