The Gym for Tilehurst People Who Want More Than Access
A Coached Gym Within Easy Reach of Tilehurst
If you live in Tilehurst and you are tired of gyms that hand you a fob and leave you to figure it out, Unleashed Performance is built for you. We are based at Apex on Forbury Road in central Reading, right next to Reading mainline station, which makes us a simple stop on the way to or from work for anyone commuting in from Tilehurst.
We are not a swipe-in, wander-around kind of gym. Every session here is coached. You turn up, Coach James and the team tell you exactly what to do and how to do it, and you leave knowing you trained properly. No pressure, no guessing.
Our members are mostly busy professionals and people getting back into exercise after a break. If that sounds like you, you will fit right in.
Classes, Personal Training and a Proper Plan
Our coached group sessions cover Strength and Conditioning, HIIT, Reshape, Hybrid, Yoga and Team Unleashed. That mix means you can build strength, improve fitness and recover well without having to design your own programme or second-guess whether you are doing the right thing.
Prefer one-to-one attention? Our personal training gives you a coach in your corner, session by session. And if you want a bigger change, our 12-week Body Transformation combines coaching with nutrition support so the results actually stick.
New to us, or new to training altogether? Every member starts with OnRamp: four foundation one-to-one sessions where we teach you the movements, learn about your goals and set you up to train with confidence. Nobody gets thrown in at the deep end.
Why Tilehurst Members Train With Us
Tilehurst has options for basic gym access, but access is not the same as progress. What our members from Tilehurst and across west Reading value is structure: a coach who knows their name, a programme that makes sense, and a community that notices when they show up and celebrates when they hit a milestone.
Getting here is straightforward. We are next to Reading station, so if you commute by train from Tilehurst station you can train before you head home. Driving in along the Oxford Road or A329 works too, and many members simply fold sessions into their working day in town.
Our promise is simple: Look Better, Feel Better, Live Stronger. Not through gimmicks, but through consistent coached training and honest direction about what will actually move you forward.
Getting Started Is the Easy Part
You do not need to be fit to start. You do not need to know your way around a barbell. You just need to turn up, and we will handle the rest through your OnRamp sessions.
Find us at Apex, Forbury Road, Reading, RG1 1AX, right beside Reading mainline station. Get in touch, tell us what you want to achieve, and Coach James will point you towards the right starting point, whether that is group classes, personal training or the 12-week transformation.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the gym and how do I get there from Tilehurst?
We are at Apex, Forbury Road, Reading, RG1 1AX, right next to Reading mainline station. From Tilehurst it is a short train hop or a drive into central Reading, and many members train around their commute or working day.
I have not exercised in years. Is this gym right for me?
Yes. A lot of our members are returning exercisers. Every new member starts with OnRamp, four one-to-one foundation sessions where we teach you the basics at your pace. No pressure, no guessing.
Is this just gym access, or is everything coached?
Everything is coached. This is the gym for people who want more than access. Whether you join group classes like Strength and Conditioning, HIIT, Reshape, Hybrid, Yoga or Team Unleashed, or book one-to-one PT, a coach guides every session.
What is the 12-week Body Transformation?
It is our most structured programme: twelve weeks of coached training combined with nutrition support, designed for people who want a clear plan and accountability rather than trying to piece it together alone.
Do I need to be fit before joining a class?
No. Classes are coached and can be adjusted to your level, and your OnRamp sessions make sure you know the movements before you join the group. You start where you are, and we build from there.
