Our client came to Engine Room after a serious bike accident over ten years ago that completely changed how he approached fitness. Since then, staying strong and mobile hasn’t just been about exercise it’s been a priority for life.
The Challenge
After the accident, keeping fit became non-negotiable.
He spent years doing Zoom sessions with a personal trainer, which worked well at the time, but once the pandemic ended, he wanted something more.
Finding a gym that felt genuinely accommodating especially training with one leg wasn’t easy.
He needed a space that understood injuries, adapted sessions properly, and didn’t make training feel awkward or limiting.
Why He Nearly Didn’t Start
Like many people with a long injury history, there was understandable hesitation.
Would a gym really be set up to support his needs?
Would the sessions actually be personalised or would he have to constantly explain himself?
The Turning Point
Engine Room was the first gym he visited and it immediately felt different.
The injury room stood out straight away, but more importantly, the sessions were fully adapted around him.
Everything was personalised, structured, and planned in advance.
No guesswork. No stress. Just turning up and training.
The Results
Today, the difference is night and day.
Fully personalised training sessions tailored to his needs
A supportive, welcoming community where he knows the people he trains with
Increased strength, confidence, and consistency
Feeling better not just in the gym but for the rest of the day
In his own words:
“This is the strongest I’ve ever been in my life and I feel great.
I finish my sessions, jump back on my bike, and feel great for the rest of the day.
Engine Room has been a game changer for me.”
