“Europe’s best gym.”
Charles Poliquin — legendary strength coach, trainer of Olympic medallists across 12 sports.

Founded 2014
Built by coaches, not investors — Founded by Nick Mitchell and Elliott Upton of Ultimate Performance.
Poliquin Lineage
Coaching methodology built on Charles Poliquin's strength system.
Hyrox Veterans
Coaches who compete across Europe, not just teach the theory.
Atlantis · Prime · Eleiko
Equipment specified for output, not for the photograph.
You're not buying a gym. You're buying a coach.
Equipment is easy to buy. The difference at this level is who is watching you train, what they notice, and whether they change the plan when your life changes.
Strength & Physique Coaching
Body composition & strength
Poliquin-lineage assessment and programming. Runs the 1:1 side of the gym and signs off every Executive plan personally.
Performance & Hyrox
Endurance & race preparation
A veteran competitor who races across Europe. Builds pacing, sled technique and transition work from the inside of a race, not a manual.
Women's Training
Lower body, hormones & menopause
Leads coaching in The Studio. Programmes around cycle, perimenopause and menopause instead of pretending they make no difference.
Nutrition & Lifestyle
Eating out, travel & real life
Plans built around restaurants, client dinners and long-haul weeks — because that's the life most of our clients actually live.
Run like a service, not a subscription.
Private assessment
A one-to-one baseline before anything is prescribed.
Priority scheduling
Sessions placed around your diary, travel and season.
Recovery suite
Ice, sauna and hands-on therapy built into the plan.
Direct coach line
Your coach, reachable — not a shared inbox.
Discretion
The choice for athletes and public figures who want serious coaching without the hassle.
Executive Coaching.
For high-income, time-poor professionals who want their physique, energy and longevity managed the way they'd have any other serious asset managed — properly, quietly and by someone accountable for the outcome.
We cap Executive places so every client keeps genuine weekly access to their coach.
Every Executive plan is signed off against the same standard this gym was founded on — Poliquin methodology and the Ultimate Performance approach to body composition.
Who it isn't for: anyone looking for the cheapest way into a gym, or who wants the plan but not the accountability. We'd rather tell you that now than take your money.

Elements Senior
Stay strong. Stay independent.
Marbella life is meant to be lived — long lunches, golf, tennis, padel, walking the paseo with the grandchildren. None of that survives lost muscle, stiff joints and a fear of falling. Elements Senior is built to protect exactly that: strength, balance, mobility and confidence, coached at a pace that respects your body and your history.
- Quiet daytime access when the floor is calm and every machine is free
- A guided induction with a coach who screens joints, balance and posture first
- Strength and mobility work proven to protect bone density and independence
- Sauna and recovery facilities to keep you moving between sessions
- A discounted rate, offered by application
Elements Junior
The right start, with the right people.
Most teenagers learn to train from a phone screen — bad form, worse advice and a body that pays for it years later. Elements Junior gives them a safe, supervised, genuinely supportive room instead: real coaching on technique, sensible programming for a growing body, and an ethos of discipline and respect they carry into everything else.
- Supervised access with coaches who teach technique before load
- Age-appropriate programming built around growth, sport and school schedules
- A controlled, respectful environment — no egos, no bad habits
- Confidence, discipline and routine that transfer well beyond the gym
- Parent consultation included before any teenager starts
“Elements Gym Marbella is the best decision I've ever made. I've been to every gym in the area over the years and this one wins hands down. The quality, the professionalism, the staff — I can't fault it.”
“I've trained here for almost 10 years and never had a bad experience. It's constantly evolving and they somehow improve things you didn't even realise needed improving. It's their whole culture.”
“The trainers' expertise and personalised plans make every session effective and enjoyable. The community vibe is fantastic — the summer BBQs are my absolute favourite.”
The people who get results here started with a conversation.
A private consultation: your goal, your schedule, an honest assessment of what it will take and whether we're the right team for it. No sales pitch, no pressure.
