Crissy is a busy Londoner who came to Engine Room looking for a more effective way to train without spending hours in the gym.
Like many people in London, time was limited—and she wanted something that would actually deliver results without taking over her week.
The Challenge
Before working with us, Crissy’s gym routine felt slow and unrewarding.
She was spending up to an hour “plodding around” on different machines, often feeling like she needed to go five times a week just to make progress.
There was no structure, no clear plan, and no real sense of whether it was actually working.
Why They Nearly Didn't Start
Like many people, Crissy was used to traditional gyms—and switching to something new can feel like a big step.
There’s always that question of whether it’ll really be worth it, or just another thing that doesn’t stick.
The Turning Point
Everything changed when she experienced how structured and focused the sessions were.
Instead of wasting time figuring out what to do, everything was planned for her.
She got the benefits of personal training—but with the added energy, accountability, and camaraderie of training alongside others.
And the biggest surprise?
How quickly she started to feel and see progress—within just a couple of weeks.
The Results
In a short space of time, Crissy achieved:
Noticeable fitness improvements within the first 2 weeks
More efficient workouts—just 2–3 hours per week
Increased strength both physically and mentally
Greater consistency thanks to structure and accountability
A supportive, non-judgemental environment
Here’s what she had to say:
“The time you spend here is incredibly focused and intense—you definitely feel the results afterwards. Before, I’d spend an hour in the gym and feel like I had to go five times a week. Here, it’s all laid out for you. You get the benefit of personal training but with other people, so there’s camaraderie and accountability. You can see progress within the first two weeks and really feel it. The team are great, it’s supportive and non-judgemental. If you’re a Londoner tight on time, this is probably the best way to get a really good workout each week.”
What This Means for You
If you’re busy, short on time, and fed up with wasting hours in the gym without seeing results—this is exactly what you’ve been missing.
You don’t need more time.
You need better structure, better coaching, and the right environment.
