The gym
Kilnside opened in 2017 in a former pottery kiln works. It is a barbell gym that decided early it was not going to be an intimidating one: sessions are capped at eight so a coach can watch every person in the room.

What people say
I joined at 47 having never touched a barbell. Nobody made me feel like an idiot, which is the only reason I went back.Marianne T.
Eight people and a coach who actually watches. I was in commercial gyms for ten years and learned more here in three months.Dev P.
They talked me out of the unlimited membership because I said I could only make two sessions. That is when I trusted them.Josh R.
