Rick built Linford Strength Co. after 22 years in the British Army, retiring as Company Sergeant Major, followed by two decades in close protection working with high-net-worth and executive clients. Training here is run with the same discipline used to prepare soldiers and protection teams, assessed properly, programmed deliberately, and reviewed on a fixed cadence, not guessed at session to session.
Every client trains one-to-one, in a fully private home gym, with a coach whose day job is managing risk for a living.
Two words spring to mind: accountability and humility.
Nearly two years training with Rick and two words spring to mind: accountability and humility.
A fantastic private gym packed with top-quality equipment, no egos and plenty of encouragement.
Sessions are always varied, the banter is top-notch and summer sessions in the garden are brilliant, even with a hangover!
Rick knows when to push, when to adapt and when to remind you that simply showing up is an achievement in itself.
A genuinely supportive trainer who cares about your progress, and an all-round top bloke who I couldn't recommend enough!
The one-to-one coaching is second to none.
I've been training at Linford Strength Gym with Rick for the past 10 months, and the experience has been fantastic.
The one-to-one coaching is second to none, not only helping me improve my strength and fitness but also teaching me along the journey.
Rick is extremely knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in your progress. The gym itself has excellent, functional equipment and a great atmosphere.
I couldn't recommend Linford Strength Gym and Rick highly enough!
Almost a year later, I'm lifting weights I never thought I could.
I started training with Rick almost a year ago, and I honestly couldn't recommend him enough!
His knowledge and experience are incredible, and what I appreciate most is how he's gradually built up my strength and confidence. He pays great attention to technique, knows exactly when to introduce heavier weights and has a brilliant way of pushing me beyond what I think I'm capable of.
He's patient, encouraging and always professional, but also makes every session enjoyable. Almost a year later, I'm lifting weights I never thought I could!
If you are looking for structured, highly motivating workouts, Rick is the trainer who genuinely knows his stuff and cares about your progress.
Yes. Most people who walk through the door haven't lifted properly before, or haven't trained in years. Every client starts with an assessment, and the programme begins where you actually are, not where a template says you should be. There is no audience, no one to compare yourself to, and no question too basic to ask.
Your first session is a consultation and assessment. We talk through your goals, training history, injuries and the time you realistically have. You complete a short health questionnaire (PAR-Q), then we run a movement and strength assessment so the programme is built on facts, not guesswork. Expect to move, but not to be wrecked.
For most people, two sessions a week is the sweet spot for steady progress; once a week works if it's consistent, and three suits those with bigger goals or more time. We'll agree a frequency at your assessment that fits your goals and your life, then book you into a fixed weekly slot so it becomes routine.
Free parking is a short walk from the gym, and the gym has its own private entrance. Full parking and access directions are sent with your booking confirmation. The exact address is only shared with confirmed clients.
Gym hire members book their own time slots and have the gym entirely to themselves. Slots never overlap with personal training sessions. Before your first slot you complete an induction and PAR-Q so you know the equipment, the house rules and the emergency procedures. Membership is capped at 10 people, so slots stay available.
Comfortable training clothes, flat-soled trainers, a water bottle and a towel. Everything else, from barbells to kettlebells, is provided.
In most cases, yes, and training is often part of getting better. Tell me about it on your PAR-Q and at your assessment, and the programme will work around it. Where needed, I may ask for clearance from your GP or physio before we start. I'm also FREC3 first-response qualified.
Sessions need 24 hours' notice to cancel or move. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice are charged in full.
