About Us
The Modern Lyceum Fit
In the spirit of Aristotle, although our main focus is on the excellence of Strength & Conditioning and the cultivation of health and fitness, we are looking to go beyond the conventional model.
We strive to build a business that offers a lot more than a commercial gym / PT studio services. Our priority is firstly to develop a strong community available for all. We will aim to organise trips, adventures and expeditions within the UK and abroad. In order to prepare people for this, we will run Strength and Conditioning programs that will develop physical robustness to participate in such events (different levels of difficulty).
Origins of Lyceum
The word Lyceum was the name of one of the first ever gyms recorded in history. It was named after the Greek God Apollo. The gym was created by the philosopher Aristotle, one of the greatest philosophers of all time. However the Lyceum was not only used as a gymnasium for physical excellence but also a place of learning, discussions and lectures from some of the top philosophers and students of the time. This fits in nicely to the holistic approach we are looking to create for our fitness community.
