Egerton’s Garage Gym is one of the premier locations for York Personal Training and the home of Foxwood Personal Training.
Headed up by Tim Egerton, Foxwood Personal Training has been operating from Egerton’s Garage Gym (The EGG) since 2020.
The EGG was born out of a necessity to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it has developed into something much more than that. Four years on, it is now a truly iconic part of the York Personal Training landscape.
As a genuinely private personal training gym, The EGG is only available to Tim’s private personal training clients. There are no group classes, and there are not multiple other personal trainers working out of the same location. This is a huge draw for most of Tim’s clients. The privacy aspect of the gym is what has down many to Foxwood Personal Training. However, the private nature of the gym means there is no compromise when it comes to quality of service. No waiting around for machines or equipment. No adjusting workout plans to accommodate an overly busy gym. These are huge factors that contribute to the overall experience. Another key factor is the quality of the layout.
Egerton’s Garage Gym
The EGG is fully kitted out with the highest possible quality of equipment. It is a private gym and the focus is on strength training. We have equipment from the worlds best manufacturers of strength training kit. When you walk into The EGG you will find equipment from Elieko, Watson, Hammer Strength, and Rogue. All of these brands represent a true mark of quality. Each piece in the gym has been carefully selected to maximise the layout of the space. The end result is a gym that is suitable for beginners and Olympic Champions alike!
We have had complete newbies train here in The EGG. But we have also had international runners here, regional shot put champions, professional Three Day Eventers, and serious weekend warriors.

Foxwood Personal Training Updates
The above links should provide you with plenty of information on what we have to offer and how to get started. However, if you after something a little more, then here are some of the latest updates from Foxwood Personal Training!
- Foxwood Personal Training has agreed to Sponsor the Heslington Mile! This is very exciting for me, as my background is in elite middle distance racing. City of York Athletics Club are hosting the Heslington Mile in July this summer. There are quality pacemakers being provided to ensure fast times. As an added incentive there is prize money for the winner. There is also additional prize money for the first three across the line, so long as they break four minutes. I am proud to be a part of this and excited to bring some elite athletics back to York.
- One of my speciality areas is Strength Training for Runners. Through implementing quality Strength and Conditioning, I help runners to run faster and to run with fewer injuries. I have been fortunate to begin working with three different marathon runners during the last 12 months. All three runners are York based and of a good standard. They have all achieved ‘Good for Age’ standards. So to further chunks of their times would be a challenge. However, I guess that’s why they came to me. I am happy to say that all three of them took at least 10 minutes off their previous best times. Not only that, but two of them smashed through the sub three hour mark for the very first time!
Gym Records
- Not all of my clients are competitive runners. As such, a big motivating factor for some of my clients is the gym records board. As the gym is now four years old, we have had time for some pretty impressive gym records to be set. As we saw out 2023 – two of the ladies gym records were broken just before Christmas. Sarah Liebenberg broke the ladies Bech Press record and Jess Spence broke the Ladies Deadlift record. These two have both set their sights on achieving more in 2024. In fact, both of them are very close to being ready to break new marks once again!
- Finally, I am pleased to announce that I have just placed an order for some new equipment at Egerton’s Garage Gym. I am keen to maintain the status of The EGG as the premier York Personal Training Gym. As such I realise I must continue to invest in the gym. That is something I am happy to do. I want the absolute best for my clients. I am always on the lookout to make things bigger and better for Foxwood Personal Training. We will continue to grow together.
York Personal Training Family
Also, a little personal news. I am delighted to announce the birth of my baby girl. Sophie Susan Egerton has joined us into the world. She is healthy and happy. Both mother and baby are doing well. Several of my clients have already met her. We are keeping her fairly private. So no photos of her on here. However, I have no doubt she will have a big presence in the gym in years to come. Who knows, perhaps a future trainer at Foxwood Personal Training?
