10 Years of Victory: A Decade of Strength, Growth & Community

In October 2015, Michael Field and Stuart Graham opened the doors to the original Victory Bespoke Fitness.

Their vision was simple but powerful — to create a bespoke personal training space focused on high-quality, private sessions with a handful of small group training options.

From day one, our gym OG Jon and the real boss at the time — Tyson 🐶❤️ — helped shape the Victory atmosphere we know and love today. We’re incredibly proud that Jon is still part of the Victory family 10 years later!

The Early Days: Building the Foundation

Just a few months after opening, Coach Scott joined the team. From there, things started to grow — fast.
Victory expanded beyond personal training, adding:

  • Classes and group training

  • Community events like 1RM testing sessions and obstacle course runs

  • Charity bootcamps that brought everyone together for a cause

Over the years, Victory has raised more than £20,000 for charity ❤️ — a testament to the generosity and spirit of our incredible members.

New Leadership, New Vision

In 2021, Victory turned a new page. With Head Coach and Director Stuart moving on and Michael Field passing the torch, Coach Scott stepped up to lead the next chapter of Victory.

Scott’s vision was bold — to evolve Victory into a stronger, more inclusive, and community-driven space.

He made big commitments and investments, including:

  • New, upgraded equipment

  • Major space developments

  • Expanded services for all training levels

That same year, Kerry — a long-time client of Scott’s — joined the coaching team. Together, they built the VictoryStrong Dream Team, setting the tone for the Victory you know today.

VictoryStrong: Raising the Bar

By 2024, after two smaller refurbishments, it was time for a massive upgrade. Every room was reimagined — floor space optimized, equipment added, and the atmosphere elevated.

Victory transformed into a training space capable of hosting Strongman competitions while offering even better experiences for our members.

The results speak for themselves. Victory’s Strongest Comps have had two successful years, including proudly hosting Scotland’s Strongest Woman.

We’re honoured to provide a platform for athletes to grow, compete, and achieve their dreams.

10 Years Strong — and Counting

Nearly a decade later, Victory has become more than just a gym. It’s a place where:

  • Transformations happen every day

  • Lifelong friendships are formed

  • Dreams — both big and small — are achieved

From personal bests to personal growth, Victory has seen it all.

We’re more than a community — we’re a family. Diverse, inclusive, and stronger together.

“Thanks to each and every person over the years who has made this dream possible.”
Coach Scott
