100 Years of Weight Lifting

Pullum's first shop opened in Camberwell in 1907 to service the needs of the early Weight Lifters. The Business grew steadily over the next 20 years until it took over the four storey building in which it had started life in the basement.

Many British champions were trained at the club including Julian Creus, Jim Halliday and Mel Barnett who were very popular in the '40's and '50's. In 1948 Wally Pullum joined his Uncle W.A.Pullum and learned the business. He went on to open his own weight lifting club in 1949 in the shed at the bottom of the garden.

Over the years Wally trained 100's of people with many successes in Bodybuilding, general Weight Training for sport, Weight Lifting and Powerlifting. Using this background Wally branched out in to equipment manufacture and with the expertise of Chris Gladding started to sell custom made gym equipment in the 1980's.

Several moves then occurred but in 2003 the retail and manufacturing sides moved in to a unit in Luton Enterprise park.

In 2005 Wally retired but Pullum continues to run with the same expertise and commitment from their Luton site.
