About Us

Muscle Basin Gym was born in the East End of London with its roots at the humble calisthenics park in Shadwell Basin.

Our founders began their calisthenics journey at this very park and have since competed internationally and delivered workshops around the world. Whilst the pandemic had crushed fitness goals and threatened the physical and mental well-being of many, our founders sought to bring inspiration and educate millions across the world about the beauty of keeping fit through calisthenics.

We recognised that going to the gym is more than just chasing gains, it’s about building and being part of a community that strengthens each other through unity.

Meet The Team

Nahimul Islam

I am often seen as the behind-the-scenes partner of MBG, as I handle the strategic planning of our gym. My background in my professional life has always been business related since a young age when I launched my first ever venture at the age of 17.

Jahedul Islam

When I was 19 years old I dropped out of college and I was very lost in life. Alhamdulillah this is when I started to get closer to Allah and started doing Calisthenics. Ever since I started doing Calisthenics I've grown a passion to do it as a career, and at the same time inspire others.

Fahimul Islam

Throughout my youth I've always been heavily involved in community work. In all my projects and ventures I always aim to create social impact. My notable work involves serving as a young mayor, a member of the youth parliament, coaching at grassroots sports clubs, and various other voluntary community/charity work.
