ADV is where accessibility and quality meet. Words don’t do justice to what we’ve got going down at ADV and the only way to truly get ‘it’ is to experience ‘it’
We regularly celebrate our members with a ‘Squaddie of the Week’ award and transcend our community outside of the gym through various socials including hikes, river dips, golf days and our biannual Serotonin Games. A highlight for us was taking nearly 70 of our Squaddies to Battle Cancer 2022, having an incredible day and raising £6,000 in the process.
Imagine...
- Having a team of dedicated coaches in your corner both in and outside the gym
- Being not just educated in all things training, fitness, health and behaviours but being guided on how to implement what you learn
- Being a message, a call or a coffee away from ever feeling stuck
- Not just being another ‘member’ but a total success story gaining life changing confidence, self esteem and self respect
…and being part of Henley’s biggest and most thriving fitness community that will hold you to a higher standard and want to see you WIN as much as you do.
"Workouts change every day so it is never boring or repetitive and one set price allows you to attend as many sessions as you want. The cardio sessions are balanced with weights, yoga and pilates so there is something for everyone."
SARAH BLOMFIELD
"The whole team at ADVHQ achieves the perfect balance of variation, energy and enjoyment in every session. From being casual gym members before joining here, a session at ADVHQ has become a daily ritual."

@alexdclarkey aka Clarkey, one of the 🐐’s, one of the OG’s and absolutely part of the furniture explaining what ADV means to him and what it represents
We couldn’t put it better ourselves however we are only responsible for 50% of this relationship
His buy in, effort, camaraderie and consistency is paramount to his success with us
The true definition of a ‘Squaddie’
A good person, doing good things with good people 🫡

Adam (Dotty) Cotton
Dotty is quite possibly the most injury prone man but it never stops him and he keeps coming back and putting the work in! 👏🏼
He utilises all aspects of ADV from the strength all the way to yoga with Nazzy and mobility! 🙏
Dotty has been a top member for years now, not bad for someone who didn’t want to join initially…learn from Dotty, sometimes it’s worth giving things a try you might just fall in love with it! 💪🏼
Winning squaddie of the week as it hasn’t gone unnoticed his recovery from injury and his consistency. That does come with consistent complaining but we wouldn’t have it any other way! 😂
GO ON DOTTY! 🙌🏼

Women’s Xmas Dinner 🎄💚
There is something seriously special about having a beautiful community of likeminded women who all support one another within and outside the gym 🙌🏼
A great evening spent at @bistroattheboathouse with top quality company and delicious food from @chefshaun07 😍
Endless time and respect for each and every one of you. Long may you continue at ADV 💚

Adam ‘Adamski’ Brittain
Adam is a serious triathlete but hadn’t really explored strength training or functional fitness before ADV. Now he’s got it all going he’s unstoppable 😍
He is an absolute machine on all the ergs, his engine is like no other. Which he showed well during velocity and serotonin games this year 👏🏼
Usually either a 5:30er or 9:15er but whatever class, he always give 110% 🙌🏼
A well deserved squaddie of the week for a big come back from being taken down by the flu for weeks. Also not to mention the fact his better half also joined this week 😍
Top tier squaddie, keep it up 🔥

8am: SGPT - a chance within our small group community to catch up on some strength work with detailed coaching and additional guidance
9am: ☕️ ☕️
9.15: Sunday Sweat: this is where the ‘training’ at ADV ends and the ‘exercise’ starts. A session designed primarily to enhance the quality of your day and include an element of teamwork. It really acts as a melting pot for packets of the community who may not normally get a chance to be together and never fails to produce a double thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻
It’s always a belting way to end A week of Daily Victories 🫡
#ADailyVictory #SundaySweat
We love to lift on a Tuesday Night
Olympic weightlifting in particular
It’s a passion of ours
It’s methodology is an under current to most of our programming
The power of getting under a barbell is an underrated
We want as many to experience it as possible
Tuesdays evenings a Mecca of Olympic Weightlifting @ ADV
First the coaches have a throw down. Having fun. Coaching each other. Aligning ourselves ahead of another glorious evening of teaching others
Then 6-7pm TNL aka Tuesday Night Lifting. The midweek answer to SML. An opportunity for some of our more experienced Squaddies to hone in on their technique and push the needle when it comes to the sport of Weightlifting
Finally, Learn To Lift 7-8pm. A 6 week course for beginners to learn the basics around terminology, cues and the movements themselves to facilitate a pathway into the weekly SML and TNL group sessions. This course is open to ALL, not just existing ‘Squaddies’
It’s something we feel very fortunate we get to do here @advhqhenley and don’t intend on slowing down anytime soon!

Oli “Snooky” Snook @oliver_snook10
What a guy, an awesome 2024 addition. You’ll hear The Jolly Green Giant’s deep bellow from anywhere in the gym.
Strong as an Ox, you’ll see Oli at every Upper Body strength session and Friday Night Fitness topping up on his Bench Press.
A new found passion for weightlifting and Sunday Sweats ensures Oli is pretty much ticking every box possible in the ADV schedule!
He’s perservered through some injuries and has come out the other side stronger, not an easy thing to do! well done my man!
