The Styrka
Philosophy

"We don't train to be good at the gym. We train to be good at life."

Dad of two. Crocs enthusiast. Terrible dad jokes. Partial to cycling in Lycra, good food and a weekend Negroni. His dress sense is questionable, but his passion is helping people become stronger, healthier and more confident certainly isn't.

"Every session should feel welcoming, supportive and just the right amount of challenging."

The Jedster. Sir Jed of Nottingham. Football fanatic, enjoys a well-earned pint, and one of the easiest people you'll ever chat to. Jed has a calm, encouraging coaching style that instantly puts people at ease, making every session feel welcoming, supportive and just the right amount of challenging.

"Spend less time trying to be smaller and more time becoming stronger."

Originally from Palestine, proud cat mum to two, and probably the quietest coach in the gym—until it's time to tell you to put more weight on the bar. Maisaa got into fitness for the aesthetics but stayed for the strength, confidence and long-term health. She believes women should spend less time trying to be smaller and more time becoming stronger.

"Your body can do incredible things. Let's prove it."

House of Styrka's very first member turned coach, Suzana knows exactly what it's like to walk in our members' shoes. She brings infectious energy to every session, takes her Spotify playlists very seriously, and genuinely cares about the people she coaches. Her passion is helping people feel stronger, more confident, and part of something bigger.

"Every good session should end with one more rep."

Originally from Argentina, Aaron believes every good session should end with one more rep... and every good barbecue should include great meat and a bottle of red. A former professional footballer and coach, he's happiest talking football or helping members discover they're capable of more than they thought.

"Consistency beats perfection every time."

Living with Type 1 diabetes for over 20 years, Adam knows first-hand how powerful strength training and good habits can be. A systems developer by day and coach by passion, he brings a calm, analytical approach to helping people build confidence, strength and healthier habits—proving that consistency beats perfection every time.
