GBHQ // GAMES
The GBHQ Games - Built for Athletes // Made for Everyone.
We hosted Southampton's First Fitness Festival in June 2025. And, we are back with the GBHQ Games to open up the fitness playing field to whole new level.

HYBRID ATHLETE //
You’ve seen Hyrox. Now meet its grittier cousin.
The GBHQ Hybrid Athlete Course takes everything you love about functional fitness — and strips it back to its rawest form.
We’ve redesigned this course to go beyond machines and meters. You’ll still get your sleds, your ski ergs, your rows — but we’re throwing in bodyweight challenges, functional movement tests, and grit-based conditioning that demand more than just reps. They demand character.
Crawl lanes. Grip tests. Core endurance. Speed. Control. Power.
It’s about athleticism in its purest form: move your body, move load, recover under pressure, and go again.
You don’t need a £300 gym bag or a fancy watch. You just need lungs, legs, and a reason.
Born in the hard moments and built through relentless effort, GBHQ exists to remind every athlete — fitness is a journey, not a destination.

THE STRENGTH YARD //
Welcome to The Strength Yard — where the bars bend, the crowd roars, and lifters show what they’re really made of.
This is the physical and spiritual home of our GBHQ Lifting Clubs — and it’s bringing the noise to the GBHQ Games.
We’re talking raw iron, loud music, and the kind of community that shouts for your last rep louder than you do.
Forget polished platforms and silent judges.
This is grit over glamour. Guts over glory.
You’ll face:
- Max deadlift face-offs
- Brutal overhead press challenges
- Team lifts and barbell gauntlets
- Technique workshops where rookies become lifters
This is your space.
No egos. No gatekeeping. Just real lifting, the way it was meant to be — messy, loud, and proud.
That’s what The Strength Yard is about.
Lock in, and leave nothing behind.

FAMILIES // MINI MOVERS
The GBHQ Games is built for athletes, made for everyone and for families, friends, and the next generation of fitness lovers.
Our Mini Movers Zone is a fully interactive kids’ fitness space where young ones can burn energy, have fun, and get their first taste of movement — GBHQ style.
Expect:
- Mini circuits & hybrid courses
- Fun strength stations & games
- Movement challenges led by certified coaches
- Giveaways & Prizes
Safe, exciting, and fully staffed, this space was a massive hit at our last event — and it’s only getting bigger.
Alongside that, our open layout means families can watch the action, and stay close to the energy without being in the chaos.
And at GBHQ, we build that strength together.
