See it on the floor
Specialty kit chosen because it’s useful in a real session — not to fill a brochure.
Kit that means business
Racks, free weights, machines and specialty equipment chosen because it's useful in a real session — not to fill a brochure. Train independently on your own schedule with everything you need on the floor.

Strength & conditioning coaching
Level 4 S&C coaching in person or online. Programming, technique, and accountability from Jason and Helen — not rep-counting PT, proper strength & conditioning.
S&C coaching
A gym with no ego
Serious about training. Relaxed about everything else. A welcoming gym — whether you're brand new, back after a break, or training for sport.
Book a viewingBefore you book
The questions people ask before they walk through the door — answered straight.
This is for you if…
- You’re done with commercial gyms that don’t have the kit
- You’ve never touched a barbell — we’ll show you
- You’re back after injury or time away from training
- You need programming but also the freedom to train alone
Belonging
Will I be judged?
No. Serious about training, relaxed about everything else. People train here for their own reasons — competition prep, getting stronger, coming back after time away. Nobody’s performing for an audience.
I’ve only used machines — is that OK?
Yes. Plenty of members started exactly there. Book a viewing and we’ll walk you through the kit. A coached intro session is there if you want hands-on help with the basics.
I’m not a powerlifter. Is this gym for me?
Yes. Sportive Tricks is strength and conditioning — proper training without needing to compete. The powerlifting gym in the same building is Iron Raven. One membership covers both, so you’re not locked into one side.
Can I use both Sportive Tricks and Iron Raven?
Yes. They’re two gyms in one building — Sportive Tricks for strength and conditioning, Iron Raven for powerlifting. Day pass, week pass, or membership gives you access to both. Train where the session needs to go.
How it works
Is there a strength and conditioning gym in Tonbridge?
Yes — Sportive Tricks on Drayton Road is a dedicated strength & conditioning gym: racks, free weights, specialty kit, and Level 4 S&C coaches on the floor. One membership also covers Iron Raven powerlifting in the same building. Book a viewing to walk the floor.
Do you offer strength coaching in Tonbridge?
Jason and Helen are Level 4 Strength & Conditioning coaches. In-person coaching is bought in blocks (£60 single, £220 for four, £400 for eight); gym access is separate. Online coaching from £50/month (program only) at ironraven.club.
I’m in Tunbridge Wells — how far is the gym?
About 15 minutes by car via the A26, or roughly 10 minutes by train to Tonbridge station then a 10-minute walk to Drayton Road.
Do I need a coach to train here?
No. Gym access is a £10 day pass, £20 week pass, 12-month membership at £40/month (£480 total) then £50 rolling, or rolling monthly at £50 — that covers Sportive Tricks and Iron Raven in the same building. Coaching and PT are there when you want programming, technique work, or someone in your corner. Not required.
What does coaching cost?
Gym access is separate. Online coaching is £50/month (program only), £100/month (online), or £150/month (hybrid with a monthly in-person session) — subscribe at ironraven.club. In-person S&C at Tonbridge is bought in blocks: £60 single, £220 for four, or £400 for eight. We’ll talk through what fits at a viewing.
What is the Iron Raven app — do I need coaching?
The Iron Raven coaching app is free on iOS and Android. Coach-written plans, messaging, and check-ins unlock when you’re on an online plan or in-person block — programmes are built by Jason and Helen, not a generic template.
How do membership, coaching, and the app fit together?
Membership (£40/month 12-month or £50 rolling) covers both gym floors — Sportive Tricks and Iron Raven. Coaching is optional. The app carries your programme when you’re a coaching client.
What other apps do Jason and Helen make?
The Iron Raven coaching app (free download — programming when you’re a coaching client). We also make Iron Raven Plate Calc — a plate calculator for real gym kit. Both are under Apps on this site.
Can I train around an injury or time away?
Yes. Jason and Helen programme around what you’re actually dealing with — not a template that pretends old injuries don’t exist. Say what you’re working with when you book a viewing.
Why here
What makes this different from a chain gym?
Kit you won’t find elsewhere in Kent, space to run a real session, and two world-champion coaches on the floor — not a brochure list and a busy rack queue. You’re paying for a strength gym, not a franchise.
Who actually coaches here?
Jason Swalwell and Helen Redhead — both world champion powerlifters, full-time on site. You’re not passed to a junior trainer or an app-only programme written by someone you never meet.
Taking the next step
What happens at a viewing?
You walk the floor, see the kit, ask anything. Try equipment if you want. We talk through membership, coaching options, and what you’re trying to achieve. No hard sell.
Is there pressure to sign up on the day?
No. A viewing is a viewing. Most people want to see the gym before they commit anywhere — we’d rather you decide with your eyes open than over email.
Seen enough to want the floor, not just the website?
