BEARWOLF AT THE COMMANDO TEMPLE
WE MAY LOOK TOUGH ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT YOU WONT FIND A MORE FRIENDLY, INCLUSIVE, COMMUNITY-DRIVEN GYM
BEARWOLF PERSONAL TRAINING IN DEPTFORD, GREENWICH - IN THE AWARD WINNING COMMANDO TEMPLE GYM
Looks can be deceiving. We absolutely are home to some ‘intense’ looking pieces of equipment - and plenty of people that are capable of superhuman feats. However, we have people from all walks of life, ability and circumstance. What brings us together is the notion of wanting to be fitter/stronger and have a good time doing it. This is undoubtedly the best gym in London - in more ways than we can explain. The only way to truly know, is to come give us a visit!
ABOUT COACH BEN WATERS
I’ve been training for over 20 years. That’s twice as long as I have been married! Even when life hits me —newborn baby, no sleep, a timetable that like a Rubik’s cub —I still found sanctuary in the gym. The weights didn't care how little sleep I’d had; they kept me grounded. The process of getting stronger didn’t just make my muscles grow—it made me better everywhere else in life. From wanting to look good, to being able to lift anything (and everything), I’ve shifted focus. Now, it’s all about being strong for life—so I can thrive, not just survive, and keep lifting heavy things along the way.
Here’s the thing: I’m not just into strength—I’m into solving problems. Whether it's in the gym or the office, I’m drawn to challenges. I get great satisfaction from helping others uncover solutions and make lasting, meaningful changes to their lives. It’s my thing. And when it comes to coaching, the strategy may differ from person to person, but the goal remains the same: I help people turn effort into action. Effort that works.
For the past 15 years, I’ve coached everyone from seasoned athletes to beginners, from corporate giants like HSBC to institutions like UCL. Wherever I go, I take the same mission: to relentlessly pursue progress and ensure every single session leaves you feeling stronger, fitter, and better. Because if you’re not seeing results, we’re not doing it right.

My job is to take complex ideas, simplify them, and make them actionable. Anyone can do that, but only a few can make it stick and make it fun.

TRUST IN MY PASSION
“If you scroll through my Instagram, you’ll probably see me lifting some odd stuff—stones, railway sleepers, and other things that look like they belong in a museum, not a gym. That’s not me showing off. That’s me putting my philosophy into practice and what I truly love to do. It’s about demonstrating what I preach: that strength should be functional, fun, and tailored to you.
Now, before you think you’ll be throwing rocks around next week—don’t worry! This is my thing, not necessarily yours. The odd stuff I lift is something I love and that challenges me, but when I coach you, I’m focused on what you need. The fundamentals I teach are universal. They’ll give you the ability to lift what’s important to you, whether that’s a dumbbell, a heavy bag of groceries, or, yes, maybe even the occasional stone.
The goal? To make strength work for your life, in a way that’s relevant, accessible, and enjoyable”
