how we work

This is not a one-size-fits-all gym. Every session is considered, built around the person in front of us rather than a template. Our trainers bring real depth — across strength, rehabilitation, nutrition, pre and post-natal training, and the kind of attentiveness that notices a niggle in your movement before you’ve felt it yourself. That level of care takes patience, and it takes getting to know you properly.

Our space in Islington reflects the same philosophy: private, quiet, and unhurried, with none of the noise or self-consciousness of a typical gym floor. It’s a place built for people who take their health seriously and want to be met with the same seriousness — delivered with warmth, not intensity for its own sake.

The truest measure of this approach is time. Many of our clients have trained with us for five, seven, ten years or more — not because they had to, but because the work kept evolving with them. That’s what we mean when we say we listen: not once, at the start, but continuously, for as long as you’re training with us.

  • Chris

    I started training with Aydin last September, and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He’s an incredible trainer—knowledgeable, supportive, and great at pushing you without making the sessions feel overwhelming. The workouts are challenging but always enjoyable, and to my surprise, I’ve actually become a fan of working out.

    When I first started, I thought I wanted a dramatic transformation. But after talking it through with Aydin and really understanding what that would involve, I realized what I truly wanted was something sustainable—a way to make weight training a permanent part of my lifestyle. With his guidance, that’s exactly what I’ve achieved. My progress has been steady, and I’ve not only noticed real changes in my body, but also a big boost in my overall strength and confidence.

    If money were no object, I’d train with Aydin forever. For now, I’m continuing on my own (with check-ins from him), and I feel fully equipped to keep moving forward thanks to everything I’ve learned.

    On top of all that, Aydin is just a genuinely great person, and I really looked forward to our sessions. Now that I don’t see him every week, it honestly feels a bit like a breakup!

    I can’t recommend Aydin and N1 Gym highly enough. If you’re considering working with him—do it. You wont regret it

    I had the great fortune of crossing paths with Dan by a stroke of luck -- now after several years, I could fill several reviews over with how much better off I am since our N1 training began! His remarkable expertise in various forms of fitness and health is communicated tremendously, and he is always genuinely receptive on an individual level. I feel that his insight has helped me build an informed, efficient, and personally-applicable lifestyle of sustainable movement that I love.

    Dan's approach has definitely helped me equip myself with invaluable tools to make meaningful changes not only in the gym, but across all areas of life. This guy is truly exceptional.

  • megan

    After having kids, I was looking for structure, accountability, and smart programming to get back on track and Aydin delivered on all fronts. He’s not only results-driven and highly tailored in his approach, but also incredibly intuitive. He knows exactly how hard to push without overdoing it, and he’s so easy to talk to that the sessions fly by, even though they’re always the toughest (and best) workouts of my week. I’m the strongest I’ve been in years and feel better than ever. Couldn’t recommend him / N1 Gym more!
