Ryan’s top three chest exercises

Training your chest builds overall upper body strength, improves pushing power, and supports better posture. Working the chest from different angles develops balanced muscle growth, reduces reliance on weaker areas, and helps prevent injury. A strong, well-rounded chest also enhances daily movement and overall physical performance.

Incline cable chest fly

This movement targets the upper chest with consistent tension throughout the entire range of motion, helping to build balanced, well-defined pecs. The adjustable angle also allows for greater isolation, reducing reliance on secondary muscles and improving mind-muscle connection.

Barbell or dumbbell chest press

These presses are foundational strength-building exercises that work the entire chest while also engaging the shoulders and triceps. They allow for progressive overload, making them ideal for increasing overall upper-body strength and pushing power.

Decline barbell or dumbbell chest press

The decline angle shifts emphasis to the lower chest, helping to create a fuller, more balanced chest shape. It also reduces shoulder involvement slightly, making the movement more comfortable for people with shoulder limitations.

For more knowledge or understanding of what these exercises are and how to perform them effectively, approach Ryan and ask for his support when you are next training!

The new year is coming …

Why wait until January to start becoming the strongest, healthiest version of yourself? New Year’s resolutions sound great, but by the time January rolls around, motivation fades, and most people slip back into old habits. Starting now gives you a powerful head start – you build momentum, confidence, and routine before the new year even begins.

Personal training and structure programmes are the fastest, most effective way to do it. With expert guidance, customised workouts, and real accountability, you’ll see progress sooner and avoid the trial-and-error that slows most people down. Whether your goal is fat loss, strength, muscle tone, or just feeling better day to day, working with a trainer keeps you focused, consistent, and supported every step of the way.

If you start today, by the time everyone else is making resolutions, you’ll already be weeks ahead — stronger, fitter, and more committed. Don’t wait for a date on the calendar. Start now and step into the new year already winning!

Sound Baths

Step into a space of calm and immerse yourself in the soothing landscape of sound. Gentle vibrations from a gong, crystal bowls, and chimes help quiet the mind, ease tension, and support deep relaxation. Each session offers a chance to slow down and reset – though each person’s response is unique. Beginners are welcome; simply be present, get comfortable, and allow the sound to do the work. £20 per person.

Important: Sound baths are not suitable during pregnancy, for those with pacemakers, sound-induced epilepsy or other serious medical conditions. If you have any health concerns, please consult your healthcare professional before attending.

Single session booking only. Next session bookable from the day after each Sunday session.
Book at Health Club Reception, give the team a call on 020 8480 4245 or log in and book online via the Members’ website at www.roehamptonclub.co.uk

Polite reminder

Please remember that bags are not permitted in the gym or at the top the stairs. Tennis bags should be placed into a locker, and smaller bags can either be kept in lockers or the storage available at the base of the stairs to the gym.

Junior Gym timetable change reminder

There is an update to access for Juniors in the gym. On Thursdays 11–15 year olds can now use the gym until 9pm. There are also new programmes for tiers 2 and 3 so please come in and ask a trainer the latest workout or if you are still tier 1, book in to upgrade your training options. Click here for more information

Etiquette reminder

Please understand during busy periods it is kind to be mindful of other Members, try not to have lengthy recoveries unless needed and if possible, share equipment with others during your recoveries.

Studios classes are phone free zones, please refrain from using these while participating in a class. If it is an emergency, leave the class and use your phone in a designated phone area.

Remember the importance of wiping down equipment after use when in the gym. This protects yourself and others from becoming unwell and helps to keep the equipment in top shape for you to enjoy! There are cleaning wipes stationed around the gym, but should you struggle to locate one please speak to a member of the team who will be happy to help.

Gym footwear

We are aware that Members would like to be able to perform some exercises without trainers on in the gym and have discussed safe options to allow for this. You can now remove your footwear to perform exercises (that are more effective without footwear) if you stay in one location. If you need to move to another location or vacate that spot to gather equipment you MUST put your footwear back on. Appropriate footwear must be worn when using cardiovascular and resistance machines at all times. Trainers / running shoes or adapted training shoes are considered appropriate footwear, sandals / Crocs/ Birkenstocks / Uggs or similar footwear is not considered appropriate. Members must also wear appropriate footwear when crossing the gym floor to get to a studio.

Junior guests using the Gym

Junior gym guests (11-15years old) MUST undergo a gym induction before using the gym or they cannot be admitted for their own safety. If a Member plans to invite a Junior guest, it is advised to contact the Health Club Team and book them in for an induction to be delivered directly before they use the gym. The induction takes 30minutes and will not need to be repeated on subsequent visits.
