Basis London

At Basis we’re big fans of olympic weightlifting for speed, power and strength. But we also love weightlifting as a way to challenge movement patterns and learn new skills.

You’ll see weightlifting exercises, at different levels of complexity, across our Force, Work and, of course, Weightlifting classes.

In Force, our flagship strength training class, we pepper in low-complexity variations like hang power cleans.

In Work, our CrossFit / functional fitness class, we take things up a notch, working more complex variations like the power sn**ch and honing skills such as barbell cycling.

For the full deep-dive, check out our Weightlifting class, where we work on the full lifts (the Sn**ch and the Clean & Jerk) from the ground up.

Whereve you encounter weightlifting at Basis, you’ll experience a thorough and systematic approach to skill acquisition and practice. We don’t just prescribe the lifts; we teach them!

Strength training has been a part of our DNA since day 1. Whatever you’re training for, life, sport or anything in between, strength is the foundation for better performance.

Join the Force class for a structured, progressive strength training programme for all levels.

“It’s the most welcoming community I’ve been to in London”

Thanks for the kind words Jess!

At Basis we offer coaching, not classes. Our programme combines the energy of the group environment with the 1-2-1 instruction of a PT session so you’re constantly motivated and always learning.

So you’ve mastered the basics. That’s just the beginning. Adopt an ‘always learn’ attitude for lifelong fitness results.

Every drop of sweat you shed today is an investment in the future you. Every ounce of effort you put in now pays off exponentially over time. Let’s GO!

The Hack Squat is a brand-new addition to Monday’s Force programme courtesy of strength-training wizard Coach .

But WHY are we hack squatting? Isn’t it just another squat? Nope - and Coach is here to explain.

The best training programme in the world is nothing without the right intention. At Basis, the whiteboard brief is one of the most powerful tools we have for making sure our members bring the right intention to each workout.

It’s not always about working as hard as possible. It’s about understanding the adaptation we’re looking for and how to achieve it. Sometimes we need you to push; sometimes we need you to hold back.
