Train With Pain · Bishop's Stortford
Small-group strength training built on our 5-phase Train With Pain system: consultation, assessment, nutrition, rehab, then coached classes. Train hard, train smart, and build a body that can handle more.
How Every Member Starts
No one walks straight into a class. Every member goes through the same five phases, so your training is built around your body, your history and your goals from day one.

Small-Group Training
The Train With Pain Method
We don't just hand you a programme and leave you to it. Every member goes through our structured onboarding process to make sure your training is safe, effective and tailored to you. Watch how it works in 76 seconds.
Phase
01
Our goal isn't just to offer a service but to provide one that truly fits your needs. We take the time to understand your goals, expectations and current level, then build a personalised plan to help you get there.
Phase
02
A comprehensive 60-minute physical assessment that reviews your medical history, injury background and current limitations, so every training decision accounts for your full picture.
Phase
03
A nutrition conversation looks at how you are fuelling your training and recovery, and sets simple, sustainable habits that fit your week.
Phase
04
Anything picked up in your assessment gets its own rehab plan, built and progressed by our clinical team, so you can train with confidence.
Phase
05
Coached small-group sessions with a maximum of 8 people, building your strength and mobility around your goals, with your coach watching your technique and progressing your load over time.
Why Our Gym
Our strength studio sits alongside our clinic in Bishop's Stortford. Because every member comes through our 5-phase system, your coach already knows your history before your first class. Coaches understand injury and rehab, so if your back flares up during the week, your coach and your sports therapist can talk to each other. It's a place to get strong, not just get through a workout.
Timetable
Once you reach phase 5, you book classes through our online timetable. Classes run Monday to Friday; we don't run classes on Saturdays.

Class times change with the seasons, so we keep them on our live timetable rather than here. Have a look, then book your consultation to start phase 1.
Membership

Start with physiotherapy or sports therapy at any of our clinics, then move into classes when you're ready. Same team.

FAQs
What People Say
"Highly recommend for running-related issues. Jess put together a clear plan to get me ready for my marathon, and her communication was excellent throughout. Thank you!"
"Referred after an increasingly painful knee was impacting on my exercise. Hannah was very thorough in her investigation and analysis of the problem. I noticed a steady but sustained improvement following the recommended exercises over the first week. The exercises were subsequently changed up and the improvement sustained over the next two weeks. What definitely helped was the link between the Injury Active Clinic and the Barn. Hannah provided a briefing for the coaches, ensuring the gym sessions reinforced the recommended physio programme."
"Jess was so lovely and supportive throughout my time with her. She really helped build my confidence and get me back to doing the sports I love! I'm so grateful for all her help and would highly recommend :)"
