Four Bells Fitness Emporium

It is with great joy (and mild dramatic flair) that we announce:

Intern Maggie has completed The Four Bells Internship Gauntlet™ and has been officially knighted as Junior Coach.

She endured:
• Technical discussions that somehow lasted longer than the workout
• Feedback that was precise enough to recalibrate a spaceship
• And the unspoken pressure of representing the culture at The Four Bells properly

At no point did Maggie retreat! She asked excellent questions, refined her coaches eye and embodied our standards and proved herself! A very proud moment for us, and a cool milestone for the gym

Please give Coach Maggie some love!! ❤️

It’s the beginning of a new training year, and what better way to start 2026, than with a barnstorming DEADLIFT cycle!!

Get your fitness b***y in the gym for pre-cycle testing!! First training cycle of the year starts officially on January 12th - let’s get after it good people!

Today we honour Coach Eden, who has survived one full year in the trenches with us — never late, never flustered, always ready before the rest of us have even found our water bottles.

Eden arrives like sunrise: on time, every time and spreading those cheerful rays. She coaches with the precision of a metronome and the kindness of someone who genuinely wants you to win. There’s no fluff with Eden. Just clean reps, sharp cues, and the kind of energy that makes the whole room lift a little heavier.

Here’s to Eden!! Thank you so much for all you do for us at The Four Bells - the gym wouldn’t be the same without you!

HAPPY GYM-IVERSARY!!

Year One done.
Year Two, let’s go!

Guess what’s new at The Four Bells? We’ve unleashed the DOG SLEDS! 🐶🛷

We’ve been having a blast pushing these bad boys around the parking lot lately. Here’s why they’re a paws-itively awesome addition:

1. Leg Strength Booster: Sled pushes are top-notch for building strong, powerful legs. Perfect for anyone aiming to crush those leg day goals!

2. Easy-Breezy: Whether you’re a fitness fanatic or just starting out, these sleds are super intuitive. Just push and go!

3. Versatile Workouts: Mix it up! Try different weights and distances to tailor your workout and keep challenging yourself.

4. You will dance again! - because there’s not a ton of eccentric loading on a sled it’s super hard to wreck your legs in the following days, but they can wreck your happy feelings when things get heavy 😆

Come check them out and let’s have some sled-pushing fun together!

Sleds, sleds, sleds!! We give a tearful goodbye to our old faithful Prowlers and say hello to the new dog sleds that mean everyone can now throw weights down Elm St together!! Time for those leggies to get after it!

Channel the Eye of the Tiger with our Legendary swag! Equal parts fierce and fashionable, with just the right amount of razzle-dazzle.

The Four Bells: Legendary fitness. Big cat energy.

THE FOUR BELLS IS MOVING!

After 8 glorious years of fitness in KW and much deliberation (and one particularly strong cup of tea), we’ve made the decision to relocate The Four Bells back to its rightful home.

That’s right, The Four Bells is moving across the pond to jolly old England! London, baby, YEAH!! 🇬🇧💂

Coach Mark’s longstanding affinity for Oasis, scones, rain, and passive-aggressive politeness has finally reached it's breaking point. The Motherland calls!

To prepare for this highly official and completely irreversible transition, please note the following changes to gym operations, effective immediately:

- All memberships will now be processed in pounds sterling (£)
- Coach Mark is henceforth to be addressed as Sir Coach Mark of Gainzbury
- Kindly form an orderly queue to enter your class
- Tea breaks between sets are mandatory
- Chalk is out. Dry wit and quiet determination are now your only lifting aids
- Burpees will now be referred to as “cheeky jump-abouts”

All of the gym’s equipment is currently moving down the River Thames as we speak. Our coaching team is clearly thrilled with the news and our marvelous Gym Manager Katie is already there doing all the managing!

Exciting times, innit? Ta ta for now—off to pack up and cancel our dental coverage!

RULE BRITANNIA 🫖💪🇬🇧

Back in 2023, Michelle had been with us for about 18 months when she said joining The Four Bells was “the best decision I ever made to improve my fitness and overall health.” Now, she’s been a member for over twice that long—3 and a half years of showing up, crushing the fitness, and being part of our little gym family!

We’re lucky to have you, Michelle! Here’s to the next 40 months and beyond! 💪🤩
