About us
WE BUILT THE GYM WE WANTED TO TRAIN IN
We're not trying to be the biggest gym in Manchester. We just want to be your gym.
Our story
Where it started.
The Works Monton started with a simple idea: create a gym where people could train properly, feel comfortable, and actually enjoy coming through the door. No big chain. No intimidating atmosphere. No one-size-fits-all approach. Just a great training space, quality equipment and coaches who genuinely care about helping people get better.
Since opening, we've built something we're incredibly proud of — a proper community. A place where experienced athletes train alongside complete beginners, where people know each other by name, and where turning up for a session can feel as much like meeting friends as it does working out.
Whether you're training for your first HYROX, chasing a new PB, building strength, improving your fitness or simply looking for a gym where you'll actually enjoy training, there's a place for you here.
What we stand for
Our values.
No ego
Everyone starts somewhere. We leave the attitude at the door and focus on the work.
Community first
The people make this place. We look out for each other, celebrate wins, and show up when it counts.
Real results
We're here to help you get stronger, fitter, and more capable — not just to sell you a membership.
Honest coaching
Our coaches tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. That's how progress happens.
The gym
Serious kit. Serious space.
We've invested in the equipment that matters — so you can train the way you want to.
Free weights floor
Full range of dumbbells, barbells, and plates. Space to move, space to lift.
Functional training area
Rigs, kettlebells, sleds, and everything you need for conditioning work.
Cardio equipment
Ski ergs, rowers, assault bikes, and C2 bikes for every kind of engine work.
CLASS SPACE
A dedicated space for our timetabled classes — from strength sessions to Hyrox.
Come and see for yourself.
Come take a look around, meet the team and see if we’re the right fit for you. No pressure. No hard sell. Just come in and see for yourself.
