Ilkley’s private strength & conditioning club
Built in the old armoury.Coached for life.
Private strength and conditioning coaching in Ilkley. Small group personal training, the Ape-X programme and Sculpt Pilates. One room, a coach who knows your name, and sessions built around you.
Welcome to The OA
A training club set inside a historic Ilkley armoury.
The OA Training Club lives in the bones of an old armoury in the centre of Ilkley. We kept the ironwork, the timber and the weight of the building, and built a coaching club around it.
Training here is private by design. Sessions run in small groups with a coach present the whole time, so every rep is watched, every load is chosen for you, and every member is known. You’re not renting equipment, you’re being coached.
How we train
Three ways to train, one standard of coaching.
Every session at The OA is coached. Choose the room that fits your goals, and your day.
Small Group Personal Training
Coaching that adapts to you
Train in a small group of up to four people, with a coach present throughout the session. Exercises can be adapted as needed to reflect your goals, experience and any injuries or limitations, while you benefit from the motivation and accountability of training alongside others.
Ape-X
Indoor strength & conditioning
Our signature six people to one coach indoor strength and conditioning programme. Structured blocks of progressive loading and conditioning, designed to make you measurably stronger, fitter and more resilient, coached end to end.
Sculpt
Pilates with weights
Mat-based Pilates loaded with weights. A disciplined, low-impact practice that builds control, mobility and trunk strength, the perfect complement to heavy strength days. More Sculpt sessions are on the way.
Featured · Small Group Personal Training
Coaching in fours. Built around you.
Small Group Personal Training is the heartbeat of The OA. Up to four athletes per session means your coach sees every single movement, adjusts your load with intention, and keeps you moving safely while you feed off the energy in the room.
Every session is coached, with exercises adapted where needed to reflect your goals, experience and any injuries or limitations.

THE CLUB
A training club built around people.
Strength is built in the sessions, but a club is built in the spaces between them, at the reception desk, over a coffee, on the way out of the door.
We made The OA somewhere you'd want to stay a little longer. Train, recover, say hello. Come back tomorrow.
