Perma Performance
Strength · London
3+ strength studios in Kingston Upon Thames, London.
Kingston Upon Thames has a small but focused strength training scene, with three dedicated studios spread across two neighbourhoods. Norbiton accounts for two of them — Perma Performance and SABS Fitness — making it the natural hub for lifters in this part of southwest London. Ham, just a few miles north along the river, is home to Unstoppable Training Studio, which like Perma Performance holds a five-star rating. These are mostly small-group or personal training-oriented spaces rather than large commercial gyms, reflecting a broader shift towards coached, structured lifting over general fitness memberships. This page maps out all three studios with details on location, specialisms, and what each offers, so you can compare your options before booking.
