Why train with a personal trainer at GYMPODS Dalston
Dalston has no shortage of gyms. What it's short of is somewhere to train without an audience. At GYMPODS Dalston, your trainer books a private POD in Dalston Square, and for the full session everything inside it is yours: the rack, the kit, and their undivided attention.
Doors open at 6am on weekdays, so you can get a session in before the Overground fills up, and slots run late for after-work training. There's no membership and no contract; you simply pay per session. PT Intro Sessions start at £35 for 50 minutes.
The PODs at Dalston
Two types of fully private POD, plus dedicated cardio stations. Your trainer picks the setup that fits your programme.
Strength POD
Built around the barbell: half rack, dual pulley, dumbbells, leg press and bench.
