Gain Strength like a DAD!
This is one man’s journey inspired by the unconditional love for his baby girl.
Everyone that enters the Wild Training Gym for the first time to look around is inspired by something to get fitter, healthier and improve the quality of their lives.
Sometimes we meet people who are just ticking the box of viewing gyms to have that internal debate of joining…one day, after the summer, in the new year, with no real motivation to make those changes just yet, or if ever.
Then we meet people who are truly driven to not only change their lives, but change the lives of their loved ones too, by looking after themselves better.
“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied”
- Herophilus
Meet Pav. Pav came to us looking to make some serious changes to his lifestyle not only for him, but for his baby girl that they had been blessed with.
During the tour he opened up about why he was motivated and what he wanted to get out of his new training regime. (Not realising that this regime will become a part of his lifestyle going forward). We listened to what failed him before and what he wanted to achieve this time - finally, he had walked in to the right place.
“I’ve been overweight most of my life, except a few periods where I got into shape. It’s the normal struggle you hear about; lack of motivation, like my food a bit too much, yo-yo dieting including extreme calorie restriction. There was always an excuse. ‘I’m tired’ ‘I’ll start next week’. ALWAYS an excuse.”
Pav is now lifting 170kg Deadlift. When he started he didn’t get 100kg off the floor. That is now his warm up weight!
SO WHAT CHANGED?
“That’s an easy one to answer. A little baby girl! Our first baby, and an absolute joy in our lives. The problem was I couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs without huffing and panting, my strength had dropped significantly over the years and I was struggling to perform daily tasks including tasks at work.”
“My mind was made up, and I joined Wild Training. I started PT sessions with Paul and loved it from day one. The entire team has been supportive, and Paul has a wealth of knowledge.”
SO WHAT’S NEXT?
“What’s next for me? Continue to increase strength and improve my shape, drop body fat and increase cardiovascular health and strength. I hope in another 12 months I’ll be unrecognisable!”
We have no doubts that Pav will hit those goals and achieve so much more along the way with us!
If you wanted to start your journey with us and achieve your goals, now is the time. Like Pav, it’s never to late to make those changes.

Daily Mail Online
The Urban Strength Bar takes steals the show with an impressive review on the Daily Mail Online

Another triumph for Wild Training and the Urban Strength Bar. Alongside an incredible front cover of Men’s Fitness, the Urban Strength bar is now tried, tested and reviewed on Daily Mail Online.
With a readership of over 92,360,000 people - we are extremely proud of this achievement.
The review came from a journalist who took on a 1-1 with James Griffiths during a live workout with the Urban Strength Bar. Going through a typical session they looked at warm ups with the bar, how the bar can be used for strength and cardio as well as ending with some flexibility moves.
The Urban Strength Bar was designed with the idea of training the body using leverage, thanks to it’s design and clever programming from James Griffiths, we can utilise the leverage to achieve an intense cardio workout, strength workout and flexibility workout. No matter your fitness level, whether you’re starting out, recovering from an injury (the bar will most definitely assist your recovery) to a hobbyist fitness fan all the way up to an elite athlete, everyone can benefit from the Urban Strength Bar.
IT’S A BEAUTIFUL EQUILIBRIUM OF STRENGTH, BALANCE AND CONTROL.
We have released a new version on the Urban Strength Bar. Now boasting the V3.0, this bar weighs under 2kg, the most lightweight model yet. This design has a built in texture that helps when gripping the bar which is new to the V3.0. The bar is guaranteed for 50 years and we have not managed to break one yet.
The bar is only £49.99 and comes complete with online training and workouts for you to get started. You can buy the bar direct from our Wild X app or here, available in blue, pink or grey.
Our trainers are always on hand to help anyone with the Urban Strength Bar. With over 7 years of experience in using the bar we are always evolving the training, expanding the uses for the bar and more and more people are benefiting from using the Urban Strength Bar everyday.

Wild Training are incredibly proud to show off James Griffiths being the front cover man for Men’s Fitness magazine which is being released October 2020.
This incredible achievement is a well deserved reward of recognition for all the hard work that James has put in over the years. He has dedicated his working career to helping others. Since starting out James’ efforts have seen him change the lives of so many people, from his clients to the team around him.
The combination of his passion and drive has seen Wild Training elevate it’s status within the fitness industry. Still helping people who start their Wild Training journey with us, James is now trailblazing the way with hybrid gyms, raising the game for fitness apps with our brand new Wild X app to working as a consultant for other fitness businesses, and now changing the way serious fitness professionals learn and develop their skills to create successful businesses of their own with the Wild Evo instructor training programme.
James and the Wild Training team work very closely together, it’s very much a team effort with a pioneering leader. We have had many challenges along the way, but we make sure we are having fun whilst creating our Wild story, which gets better each day!
THE SCOOP
The feature is all about strongman training and how anyone can get started with this style of exercise, regardless of strength or abilities. Sporting professional photos taken by our Wild member - Ben Machekanyanga, with full explanations of each workout, the feature is incredibly comprehensive as an intro to strongman training, even without traditional strongman equipment.
James’ experiences in strongman training for himself, training others and further research makes the article a great and insightful read for everyone.
Available to buy in October 2020. Make sure you grab your copy!
The Muscle Tunnel just got more muscle
Muscle Tunnel upgrades
The Muscle Tunnel is a key feature of Wild Training, an iconic and well regarded set up amongst our members, strongmen and women locally and afar.
Even legends such as; Laurence Shahlaei (Europe’s Strongest man 2017 and 11 x world’s Strongest man competitor), Terry Hollands (winner of England’s and Britain’s Strongest man competition), Andrea Thompson (x4 Britain’s strongest woman, World’s Strongest woman 2018), James Crossley (‘Hunter’ - Gladiators) come to visit Wild Training to hit the Muscle Tunnel for a workout.
Being far from the bleak and deserted tunnel prior to when Wild Training took over the location, we have made it in to an incredibly versatile training area, which is still growing.
Lockdown was thrown upon us and in true Wild Training style we took this closure opportunity to revamp the entire gym including the Muscle Tunnel.
Essentially, the Muscle Tunnel is comprised of 4 zones.
The Quad
Rig Zone *New 2020
Strongman Zone
Strength Zone *New 2020
The Quad - Top of the Tunnel, classes and free training happens here.
Rig Zone - Assault Rig area. A Wild Training designed rig for classes and free training.
Strongman Zone - Strongman area after the rig. Strongman classes and free training area.
Strength Zone - Bodybuilding, weight machines and free weights area at the end of the tunnel. Classes and free training.
New additions, new styles of exercise.
The new additions open up the Muscle Tunnel to more styles of exercise for everyone.
Our assault rig can be seen as you enter the Muscle Tunnel. Standing tall in all its glory, usually with members hanging off it, hitting beast slastix runs, rope climbs, monkey bar runs, suspension straps attached, the assault rig is how Wild Training make rigs - versatile and just badass. Used for classes, PT, members free training, aerial fitness like Silks, Hoop and Olympic Rings, the rig adds to the unrivalled value of variety which we offer to our members.
The ultimate Strength Zone
The end of the tunnel is now our designated bodybuilding, physique training area.
This exciting addition is a perfect fit for the Muscle Tunnel. An area full of free weights and machinery such as; belt squat, leg extension, reverse hyper, glute drive, lat pull-down, dual cable cross over, prone T-bar, leg curl, incline press, squat racks, seated row, competition bench press. Whether you are in prep for a competition or training for yourself or your sports team, the strength zone is for everyone.

This week was a special week as Wild Training got a visit from Mens Health Magazine!
Wild Training founder and Wild Gym Co-owner, James Griffiths, took Wild Training to new heights last year, literally to the top of the world and back. Well, Mount Kilimanjaro to be exact. James Griffiths set the record for the highest altitude workout ever recorded and in the process, has helped raise over £3000 for Hope for Children.

Mens Health Magazine decided that they wanted to try out the same work out that James successfully completed. However, this time it wasn't at 5000 meters above sea level but down to earth at the new Wild Training Gym in Loudwater, High Wycombe.
