About UNIT TRAINING
UNIT TRAINING is a private personal training studio in the heart of Southampton, created for people who want to train without the noise, crowds or pressure of a commercial gym.
We opened in 2023, inspired by Matt and Mash’s years of experience working in busy gyms, where they saw first-hand how impersonal and overwhelming those environments could be. That led them to create something different: a space where training feels focused, supportive, and genuinely personal.
What We're About
Our approach is rooted in strength training; helping people build lasting physical strength, confidence and resilience. But we also know that everyone’s goals are different, so we offer a mix of training styles to suit what you’re after.
We don’t take ourselves too seriously. Yes, we care about good technique and smart programming — but we also believe training should be enjoyable. Our sessions are relaxed, friendly and often full of laughs. We’re not here to push you to your breaking point.
Our philosophy is simple: help you train consistently, safely, and in a way that actually feels good. Because when you enjoy it, you stick with it — and that’s when the real progress happens.
