Imperium Functional Fitness

Imperium Functional Fitness is an independent gym in Ammanford, South Wales, founded by Josh Jones, a former Royal Marine who has competed at functional fitness tournaments across the UK.

The open-plan space combines high-quality equipment with a climbing section, cardio machines such as bikes and SkiErgs, and a separate weights and strongman room for heavy and competition-focused training. Small functional fitness classes of up to seven people focus on speed and strength through Olympic lifting, kettlebells and high-intensity weight training.

Members can also book one-to-one sessions with a qualified personal trainer. Male and female changing rooms with showers are available, and protein bars and drinks are on sale. Classes are available without a membership, and members get full gym access and unlimited classes, with a 10% discount for NHS and Armed Forces personnel.
