STRENGTH & ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE FACILITY

Winning Strength Southampton is a world-class facility built for serious performance. With expert coaching, top-tier equipment, and a focus on measurable progress, it’s a space designed for those who train with intent - whether you're chasing new records, returning from injury, or levelling up your game.

WORLD-CLASS FACILITY, FOR WORLD-CLASS ATHLETES

Winning Strength Southampton was opened in 2009 and has remained - to the day - a private gym with specialist equipment for dedicated athletes and individuals. We refuse to let our clients compromise their workout for a busy gym.

Our membership differs from regular gyms as it includes your personalised coaching programming and the watchful eye of owner and coach Tom Hibbert. You don't just become member of Winning Strength Southampton, you become a client of Tom Hibbert.

We work with athletes from all disciplines, including and not limited to Athletic Performance, Track & Field, Football, Strongman, Powerlifting, Olympic Weightlifting and more. Our varied strength & athletic performance facility in Southampton offers everything you need to level up your training.
