Motion Training: More than a gym.

“I remember our first few classes; just meeting all those new people, and being so excited that they’re coming to OUR gym!”

Grace Lilley. Co-owner of Motion Training. A force that transforms lives through the raw, unfiltered power of CrossFit.

When you enter Motion Training, something shifts. It's more than a gym - it's an ecosystem of human potential. Grace, alongside her husband Harrison, and best friend Dudley, cultivate a movement where training becomes personal revolution.

Their journey wasn’t about creating just another workout spot. It was about building a space where people feel empowered to challenge themselves and succeed. In the process, they cultivated a one-of-a-kind community - one that truly embodies transformation and growth.

‘Community’ isn’t just a buzzword at Motion Training; it’s at the heart of everything they do. Grace, Harrison and Dudley lead by example, actively engaging in the culture they create, both inside and beyond the gym walls.

“I feel like Motion’s community is evolving with my life”, one member shares, demonstrating how powerfully dynamic and enduring the sense of community is at Motion.

This commitment to connection is what makes Motion unique. It’s so much more than a gym; it’s a space where relationships are built, goals are shared, and achievements are celebrated collectively.

“You see people shine. You see them come out of their shells. You see that ‘self-belief’ grow and grow and grow.

As an accomplished CrossFit athlete, Grace leads by example, inspiring those around her to pursue their goals with determination. Her ability to connect with people, both as a coach and a role model, is at the core of what makes Motion Training stand out.

“I’ve looked up to her from day one,” says coach Alis, reflecting the deep respect Grace has earned among her peers. Grace’s unique blend of technical expertise and authentic care has made her not only a trusted leader but also a source of inspiration for the entire Motion Training community.

Through Grace and the team, Motion Training has become a place where transformations happen daily. Members speak of newfound strength - not just physical but mental and emotional - that they carry with them into their everyday lives. The gym has become a cornerstone of their routines, offering consistency, motivation, and a sense of purpose

Motion Training, with Grace at its heart, is a testament to how training can shape lives in meaningful ways. Their dedication to excellence and deep-rooted understanding of what inspires and encourages their community makes them true leaders of the London CrossFit landscape.
