Base 13

750 sessions for Kelly at Base 13!

We're catching up and recognising another incredible milestone and a reflection of years of consistency, effort, and commitment.

Kelly is a valued part of the Base 13 community, always bringing a positive attitude to every session and fully embracing everything that makes Base 13 more than just a gym. During her time with us she's been racking up the achievements mastering her unbroken push ups, PBs. on her Bench press this year and most recently seeing noticeable improvements in her muscle mass, reaching the elusive D on the inbody!

It’s been amazing to watch Kelly’s progress over the years and we're so proud to have her as a member.

Kelly, thank you for your dedication, energy and support. Now… onto 1000! 🍾

Our Summer Challenge is underway and there's still time to get involved!

We're challenging you to stay active, whether you're training On Base in the gym or Off Base while you're away.

Over 4 weeks, you'll complete up to 10 weekly challenges covering movement, strength, mobility, nutrition, wellbeing, and community. Every challenge is worth 1 point, and whether you're at Base 13 or on holiday, you can score exactly the same.

Here's the best part:
Every £10 entry goes to St Christopher's Hospice, our Charity of the Year, and Base 13 will also donate 10p for every point logged throughout the challenge.

Stay consistent. Stay active. Wherever summer takes you!

Contact the team for full details on how you can take part.

The next Base 13 Adventure is almost here, and we can't wait.

Following on from our Kilimanjaro adventure last year, we're heading back to North Africa and this time, we're going bigger. Join the Base 13 community as we explore the breathtaking Atlas Mountains, summit Mount Toubkal (North Africa's highest peak at 4,167m), and experience the magic of the Sahara Desert.

This is mountains and desert in a single trip. Two completely different worlds, one unforgettable journey. From the rugged, switchback trails of the High Atlas to the vast, golden expanse of the Sahara, you'll experience landscapes that most people only ever see in photographs.

Expect spectacular mountain scenery that takes your breath away with every step. Unforgettable desert landscapes and a night sky so clear it doesn't feel real. Incredible food traditional Moroccan tagines, fresh bread, mint tea brewed over an open flame. Amazing company, surrounded by people who push each other forward. And memories that will last a lifetime.

Whether you came to Kilimanjaro with us last year or you're completely new to the Base 13 Bucket list, this trip is designed to be a once in a lifetime experience that you'll never forget!

A huge congratulations to our latest Base 13 members to reach 250 sessions.

What makes this milestone special isn't just the number. It's everything that comes with it. The progress, the small wins, the stronger lifts, the improved movement, and the confidence gained along the way.

250 sessions means they've made training part of their lifestyle, creating habits that support their health and wellbeing for the long term.

We're incredibly proud of everything these members have achieved so far and can't wait to see where the next 250 sessions take them.

What a day! ☀️

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in this year's Base 13 Summer Games. The heat certainly made every workout that little bit tougher, but every single person showed up and made the event another one to remember.

From taking on the workouts to the space hopper relay (which quickly became a crowd favourite), the day was full of great energy, plenty of laughs and everything that makes the Base 13 community so special.

Thank you to everyone who competed, supported, and helped make another Summer Games such a success.

See you at the next one!

Base 13 isn't for everyone... and that's exactly the point.

We're more than just a gym. We're a gym built around community, structure, consistency, and helping people achieve long-term results.

If you're looking for somewhere to train without direction or avoid being challenged, there are plenty of other options.

But if you're ready to move well, feel stronger and live better, while surrounded by a community who genuinely want to see you succeed, there's a place for you at Base 13.

We gave 5 reasons not to join Base 13... you might just find they're the very reasons you should.
