Saxon Powerhouse Gym

Just a reminder of how it started, you have to start somewhere.

Some photos to show you we’re constantly working towards opening day.

Today we collected all of the seating covers and built the Lift Fitness Hammer Strength DAP and Lift Fitness Signature Series Crossover, with more equipment arriving and being assembled every day.

This gym isn’t being thrown together—it’s being built with passion, hard work, and attention to every detail.

Built, Not Born.

The OG is coming home.

Some machines earn legendary status, and the original Cybex Smith Machine is one of them.

We couldn’t say no.

Another piece of old-school bodybuilding history is on its way and will soon be taking pride of place on the Saxon Powerhouse Gym floor.

No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just proven equipment built to move serious weight.

A Piece of Rotherham Bodybuilding History, Bruno’s Masbrough Street Rotherham

Some names leave a mark that never fades, and in Rotherham bodybuilding, Bruno is one of them.

After speaking with karon brunt, Bruno’s wife, we were honoured that she gave us her blessing to recreate one of the original Bruno’s signs. She was over the moon to know that his legacy will continue to inspire future generations.

Without Bruno’s gym, many people would never have stepped into a weight room. I’m proud to say I was one of them. The values of hard work, discipline and old-school bodybuilding that Bruno stood for helped shape so many of us.

As the owner of Saxon Powerhouse Gym, it’s a privilege to have this poster board displayed in our gym as a tribute to a man who inspired countless lifters across our town.

Bruno may no longer be with us, but his legacy lives on every time someone walks through our doors determined to better themselves.

This one’s for you, Bruno.

SHUT UP AND GET MASSIVE

A little glimpse of where we are…

Every day we’re one step closer. Every machine, every detail, every hour of hard work is building something different.

This is more than a gym. This is Saxon ground.

The gates will open soon. Be ready.

Another 13-hour day today, working non-stop alongside close friends and family. The amount of hard work, dedication and passion that’s gone into building Saxon PowerHouse Gym has been unbelievable.

If we do say so ourselves, the gym is looking incredible.

From old-school chain-driven back machines to heavy-duty pin-loaded and plate-loaded chest machines, we’ve worked hard to create a gym that’s built for people who are serious about training. No gimmicks. No distractions. Just quality equipment and an atmosphere that takes you back to the golden era of bodybuilding while offering the very best for today’s lifters.

We’re nearly there, and we honestly can’t wait to open the doors and welcome you all.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us, checked in on the progress, and believed in what we’re building. It means more than you know.

The wait is almost over.

A huge thank you to everyone who has enquired, messaged, shared our posts, and taken the time to come and have a look around Saxon PowerHouse Gym.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to the local council for their support and enquiries, as well as the local schools that have visited us to see what we’re building. Your interest and support mean a great deal to us.

The response from our community has been incredible, and we genuinely appreciate every single one of you.

We can’t wait to welcome you through the doors and watch you build strength, power, and confidence in a proper old-school training environment.

This is more than just a gym—it’s a community.

See you all very soon. Let’s build something special together. 💪
