The Gym for Twyford Locals Who Want More Than Access
A coached gym, minutes from Twyford
If you live in Twyford and you have been searching for a gym that actually helps you get results, Unleashed Performance is closer than you think. We are based at Apex on Forbury Road in Reading (RG1 1AX), right next to Reading mainline station. Twyford is one quick stop away on the train, which makes us a genuinely practical option for anyone commuting through Reading or looking to build training into their week without a long drive.
We are not a swipe-your-card-and-figure-it-out gym. Every session here is coached. Whether you join a group class or work 1-to-1 with a coach, you get structure, direction and someone in your corner. No pressure, no guessing. Just a clear plan and people who care whether you show up and improve.
What we offer
Our timetable covers coached group classes including Strength and Conditioning, HIIT, Reshape, Hybrid, Yoga and Team Unleashed, so you can build strength, fitness and mobility across the week without writing your own programme. Sessions suit busy professionals and returning exercisers, and every class is scaled to your current level.
If you want something more personal, we offer 1-to-1 personal training and our 12-week Body Transformation programme, which pairs coached training with nutrition support so the work you do in the gym actually shows up in how you look and feel.
New to us, or new to training altogether? Every member starts with OnRamp: four foundation 1-to-1 sessions where a coach gets to know you, teaches you the movements and sets you up to join classes with confidence. It is the opposite of being handed a fob and left to wander the gym floor.
Why Twyford members train with us
Plenty of people in Twyford already pass through Reading station every day for work. Training at Unleashed means you can hit a coached session before your commute home, or on your way into the office, without adding a separate trip to your day. Apex is right next to the station, so there is no trekking across town with a gym bag.
More than convenience, though, people stay for the community. We celebrate wins here, whether that is a first press-up, a personal best or simply a full month of consistent sessions. Coach James and the team give honest direction: what to work on, what to leave alone, and how to keep progressing when life gets busy. Look Better, Feel Better, Live Stronger is not just a slogan, it is what we coach towards every session.
Who this gym is for
Unleashed Performance suits professionals and returning exercisers who want coaching, structure and community rather than just access to equipment. If you have tried big commercial gyms and drifted after a few weeks, the difference here is accountability. Your coaches know your name, your goals and your progress.
You do not need to be fit to start. You do not need to know your way around a barbell. OnRamp exists precisely so you can begin from wherever you are, and every class after that is coached and scaled. The only thing we ask is that you turn up and give it a go.
