Portsmouth is the Comeback City. So is everybody who trains here. in 2010 we built a gym out of spite and kettlebells. Portsmouth Spartan Kettlebell Club. PSKC. Most experienced gym in Portsmouth. Most fun, too. No mirrors and no smoothie bars. We're the resistance against weakness, and we have a good time being it.
We coach total beginners and people coming back after years away. Whatever shape you're in, you'll fit. Nobody here makes you feel like the new person for long.
The most experienced coaches in Portsmouth. They learn your name on day one. They coach the why behind the movement, not just the rep count.
If it ain't fun - what's the point? You'll come for the workouts - you'll stay for the lifelong friends you'll meet.
“The magic is in the movement, the art is in the programming, the science is in the explanation, and the fun is in the community”
We want to let you know you’re welcome here. No matter your current shape, age, or ability: you are exactly the kind of person we want to work with and be around, a person who wants to work hard, have fun, and be better.
PSKC was founded in 2010 with a simple mission – to train people to become capable, competent, and confident in order to be a positive catalyst for change for Portsmouth. To do so we use group workouts as our physical tool for self-improvement and layer on health and nutrition education to help with lifestyle change.
Since that time, we’ve helped thousands of people, worked with military units, college and high school teams, kids, the elderly, adaptive athletes, and people in recovery. People of all ranges, walks of life, and background have increased their quality of life here.
What makes us different from other gyms is that we are the most experienced and knowledgeable gym in the area. Our passion is to help make you better. The success of our business is a direct result of your success as a person – that is something we don’t take lightly.
