The Asylum Strength & Conditioning

#badboyforlife 😜

TRANSFORMATION — For those who don’t already know me I’m Josh and I have recently started working at the Asylum and am now the trainee coach. I wanted to show everyone just what The Asylum can do for you by sharing my transformation — The Asylum has been part of my life for nearly three years. I joined when I was 14 due to a lack of self confidence and a desire to aesthetically change and gain strength.... — I have since developed into a competitive powerlifting athlete and have competed in the past two Day Of Reckonings and plan to compete in national competitions this year. I have been coached by and trained with Paul over the past year and have gained a vast amount of knowledge across this time. — In the near future I aim to start putting my knowledge and experience to use and shall be available for coaching sessions very soon. I also aspire to become a fully qualified physiotherapist in order to help even more people with their training and recovery. — For anyone who wishes to change The Asylum is most definitely the place for you so be sure to message us or come in by to start your journey — 💪 #builtintheasylum #alwaysimproving #strengthandconditioning #nutrition #fatloss #musclegain #localgym #laurencekirk #aberdeen #scotland 💪

Very friendly and unfussy gym with everything you could possibly need - no gimmicks or other nonsense!

The wife and I have been a membes of The Asylum for just over a year now and are pleased we joined. We were apprehensive about joining an old school strongman gym, but the welcoming and modest atmosphere is a refreshing change from more commercial gyms.



Paul and Kellie have built a gym that is open 24/7 and has all the equipment you need for strength and conditioning training. They also provide great strength and conditioning classes. So if you, like me, used to look forward to Worlds Steongest Man on telly, you can come along and flip tyres, do the farmers walk and have a go at the atlas stones.

The Asylum offers great facilities and friendly faces.



The 24/7 gym caters for everyone, from gym beginners to professional athletes. There is a vast amount of equipment, machines and accessories, catering for all styles of training. Paul and Kelly are always keen to offer advise and help improve training / techniques.



I have been attending the strength and conditioning classes offered on a Tuesday and Thursday and couldn’t recommend them enough. Great way to mix up training and get a sweat on.



Great place to train!

Started going to ladies classes a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. Classes are great fun and Kellie very motivating. Would highly recommend.

Really enjoying the ladies strength and conditioning classes. Noticing big improvements in my flexibility and movement. Looking forward to continuing progress even at my age 50+ + +

Really enjoyed the Strength and Conditioning class tonight with Kellie. Looking forward to next week and it was great to get a wee look in the gym. Thinking I might even use it now as well.

My partner and I just joined this gym a few weeks ago as we have let ourselves go over the last couple of years and want to get back in shape without having to spend hours on a treadmill or bike, we decided we want to work on our strength training and asylum gym is the perfect place to do so. We have just finished our 3rd training session with Paul and I would highly recommend anybody thinking of joining a gym to check this place out. Paul has been so helpful in showing us how to get the most out of a workout and best techniques to do so safely. By far the best gym iv been too, it has great equipment and everyone is welcoming and friendly and I'm really enjoying working out properly again. Thanks Paul

Just joined Asylum 3 weeks ago. I love it. It's been a long time since l have done any weights. Paul and Kellie have been fab giving great advice and clearly know what they are speaking about, their passion for what they do is contagious.

First comp in Dec I can't wait. �

I've been training and competing out of the asylum since 2016. I travel for 2 hours at a time just to train at the asylum. And making this journey multiple times per week! While prepping for competitions.



Why do I make the journey,



For a great coach who has actually accomplished titles in strength athletics (he has had the blood sweat and dust on his hands) who loves the sport and not just another paper PT! Who is just focused on making money.



Also Paul has sacrificed his own personal time to travel with me to all of my competitions around the uk �.



The training equipment is the best I've used and is all indoors with ample room for multiple events to be running simultaneously.



The atmosphere is second to none!

I hardly ever use pre workouts... because if u can't get fired up for a training session in the asylum! with the atmosphere in there then a 1000mg of caffeine and a can of Monster isn't going to do S#it for u!



I've also been lucky enough to find some great training partners and most of all are like minded individuals like myself who are dedicated and driven to push themselves as far as they can in the sport they love!





Brick by brick!



Sacrifice, Hard work & Dedication

I tried various gyms in the past and never lasted more than a month, I’ve now been using the asylum for more than a year and that’s all down to Paul’s training and motivational skills, since starting I’ve bulked up and grew in confidence. whether it’s cardio or powerlifting the asylum has everything you need, thanks for everything Paul looking forward to beating records and bulking up in the forthcoming months

I joined the asylum around 6 months ago and since then have improved massively in terms of strength and confidence. I feel this is down to Paul’s coaching and advice. I enjoy every session and look forward to reaching my full potential. I recommend the Asylum to anyone in the area looking for a place to train.

I joined The Asylum just over 2 years ago and I can confidently say it has completely changed my life. Easily the best gym in the area, the support and advice from both Paul and Kellie has allowed me to make insane improvements in my strength and aesthetics. Since joining my confidence in and outside the gym has improved drastically and it’s all down to Paul and Kellie running an amazing gym. I’ve recently started being coached by Paul and can already see strength gain, very excited to see where it takes me.

I attended a competition today which was so impressive and and very organised, the facility is excellent which lends it's self to all levels of achievements and goals, Paul made us very welcome and his encouragement to all the competitors was brilliant, worthy of note was the assistance of the guys spotting and loading they demonstrated great commitment to the sport,, thank you.

Great friendly well run facility, caters for all ranges of gym goers from the seasoned pros who are serious about there training to the beginners and youngsters starting out! Plenty knowledge throughout the gym to keep everyone on track and make sure things are done the right way and safely. Attended the strength and conditioning class too and it’s great to get the heart rate going and pushes you to your limits!

Crackin place to train.

Lots of equipment variety and some good advice if you happen to be there at the right time when the big lads are in. Great place even for a 120 mile round trip for me to get to... Love it.

Can not express how happy i am to be a part of this gym. I had always used sport centres and pure gyms before I joined the asylum and honestly , going back to a "normal" gym, total kills my buzz. Just the raw iron look of the place is enough to motivate your training , never mind the massive power lifters making appearances. If your looking for a gym to take your training to the next level then I highly recommend the asylum!

Brilliant gym! First class equipment and an even better atmosphere!

Best gym Iv been to has every thing u need for body building and power lifting can go 24 hours a day 7 days a week with own key has great selection off proteins protein bars and energy shots to buy b4 and after work out any music u want on I pad Paul is straight to the point on any advice in gym may need defo 5 star place life has defo improved since I joined thanks Paul .

Been going to the ladies classes for a few weeks now and absolutely love them! So good to have something different than the usual gym classes on offer, Kellie is a great help and it’s always fun and different. My partner is now going to the men’s classes with Paul and also loving them, and both of us can feel the benefits already. A great facility to have so close to home �
