When Sam first joined The Lab Liverpool, he wasn’t chasing a single goal, he just knew he needed a reset. He’d fallen out of a training routine and was looking for a new environment, some structure, and a sense of direction.
“I struggled to figure out exactly what my core goals were. I just knew I wanted a fresh start.”
With Coach Charley’s support, Sam explored different training phases, strength work, fat loss, muscle building, with structured guidance and regular check-ins along the way.
Rebuilding Confidence, Inside and Out
“Mentally, I feel a lot stronger. That confidence has pushed me to pursue new career opportunities, and even take up Hyrox training, something I’d never have had the confidence for before.”
Sam’s training didn’t just change his physique, it changed how he sees himself.
“People have noticed physical changes in me too, and that’s a nice bonus.”
Coaching That Builds More Than Muscle
“Charley helped me stop overthinking and comparing myself to others. I now focus on my own goals, in training and life. That mindset shift was huge.”
Sam has lost over two stone, built visible muscle, and hit personal bests across his lifts. But more importantly, he’s built a routine he actually enjoys.
“I’m lifting heavier than ever. I feel better in myself than I probably ever have.”
A Community That Feels Like Home
“The atmosphere at The Lab is always brilliant, from the staff to the other members. It’s a proper community.”
“The gym never feels overcrowded. Everyone’s respectful and supportive, I’ve even had staff invite me to jump in between sets when equipment was in use.”
“In the past, I’d hold myself back through lack of confidence. Now? Every session, whether with Charley or on my own, feels like a win.”
Final Words for Anyone Considering The Lab
“If I didn’t enjoy it, I wouldn’t keep coming back. Simple as.”
“The Lab has the most supportive team I’ve experienced in any gym. If you’re unsure, just give it a go, you’ve got nothing to lose by trying it.”
