01 — Who we are

Strength, and a place that feels like yours.

Heavy Hitters is run by Oliver Pritchard and Steve Rickets, in the old council yard on Mill Lane. It was built so Presteigne had somewhere proper to train — any hour, any level.

Whether you’re into fitness, weight loss, strongman, bodybuilding, powerlifting or boxing, you’re covered. Everyone’s welcome. Come and train.
