After moving to London, our client was looking for more than just a place to work out.
Staying connected to Engine Room quickly became about something deeper — supporting his mental health, building confidence, and finding a sense of belonging in a new city.
The Challenge
Starting fresh in a new city can feel overwhelming.
Between settling into a new environment and building routines from scratch, it’s easy to feel ungrounded or disconnected.
Our client knew he needed structure, goals, and something consistent to support both his physical and mental wellbeing.
But starting something new always comes with hesitation.
Why He Nearly Didn’t Start
Like most people, the hardest part was simply getting started.
Walking into a new gym, meeting new people, and trying something unfamiliar can feel like a huge hurdle — especially when you’re already adjusting to life somewhere new.
The Turning Point
Once he committed to training consistently at Engine Room, everything began to shift.
Having clear goals, a plan to achieve them, and regular sessions gave him structure and purpose.
The small group training felt almost like one-to-one coaching — with in-depth guidance, attention to detail, and real support — while still enjoying the energy of training alongside others.
Add in a diverse, welcoming community, and training became something he genuinely looked forward to.
The Results
Over time, the impact went far beyond the gym floor:
Improved mental wellbeing through consistent training
Increased confidence and self-belief
Feeling settled and more at home in London
Clear goals and a plan to achieve them
A supportive, diverse community that makes training enjoyable
The benefits of personalised coaching within a group environment
In his own words:
“Coming here consistently, setting goals, and having a way to achieve them has really helped me feel confident in myself and settled in a new city.
The community here is fantastic — once you’re over the hurdle of starting, you’re going to love it.”
