Hammer Strength has partnered with Shaun Stafford / Life Fitness
Performance strength training brand Hammer Strength has announced a new partnership with multi-award-winning fitness athlete, personal trainer, gym owner and author, Shaun Stafford.

A long-time fan of the brand, Stafford has previously worked with Hammer Strength to equip his two City Athletic training facilities in London. As one of the capital’s premier performance gyms, City Athletic combines world class trainers with state-of-the-art equipment to create a community atmosphere at its clubs, with its mission to provide “Performance for All.”

Renowned for its world-class equipment, Hammer Strength has been manufacturing performance strength training equipment for over 30 years. Tested to exceed industry standards, Hammer Strength’s equipment portfolio includes heavy-duty racks and rigs, benches, selectorised equipment, and accessories.

“Hammer Strength is a brand I’ve known, loved, and worked with for over 10 years, and I can’t wait to share with others why I believe it’s the number one performance strength training brand on the market,” said Stafford.

“As a loyal fan, customer, and user of the products, I couldn’t be happier to be partnering with such a trusted and premium brand; Hammer Strength equipment has been a big part of City Athletic for a long time, so this feels like a perfect fit – I can’t wait to share more of what’s to come!”

Craig Cocking, UK Country Manager for Life Fitness, owners of Hammer Strength, said: “We are really excited about the partnership with Shaun. Hammer Strength equipment is designed for elite athletes and those who want to train like one, and it’s this ethos, coupled with Shaun’s dedication to training and getting results, both personally and with his clients, that makes the partnership so well-aligned.”
