OUR STORY
SURBITON
A DREAM HAS BECOME REALITY
It all started with a vision amongst three friends, to build the first facility of its kind. A strength and fitness community in the heart of Surbiton.
​
The location and the building were perfect. However, it took a little over 2 1/2 years before the team would get the keys in their hands.
​
Then came the first challenge, of turning this old warehouse into a dream gym.
Owners, Dudley, Grace and Harrison have never been afraid of a challenge and Motion went on to open its doors for the first time in October 2018 with an incredible turnout.
​
It was a busy few months at the start with every waking hour spent at the gym; coaching classes, handing out flyers or trying to squeeze some training in.
​
It's great to see, 3 years later, people from that first evening are not only still members but great friends and part of a community like no other.
​
Before long, the workload was too much for 3 people - it was time to bring in some extra help.
​
Chris, who was already a close friend and incredible coach was a natural fit to join the team, and he brought a wealth of knowledge and experience.
​
Chris loves to coach the skills of gymnastics and the fundamentals of good movement and looking after the body. He recently became a Dad and now trains to look good and move well.
Emma was next to join the Motion family after moving to Kingston from Plymouth.
​
Emma specialises in weightlifting, having won bronze at the 2021 British Weightlifting competition.
​
She runs and programs our Weightlifting Class on Friday evening and is a full-time CrossFit coach at Motion.
We have proudly teamed with Andreas from All Things Physio to better understand and work around rehab, injuries and prehab at Motion.
​
Nothing is more important to us than making sure our members stay fit and healthy.
