about us

The Story Behind The Warm Up Studio

The Warm Up Studio was built on one belief: Strength changes trajectories.

Founded by Christian Mantuano, who moved from Ecuador to London with £57, rebuilt from nothing, and went on to become a top performing trainer at Third Space Soho and in Oslo, Norway. The studio represents discipline, resilience, and earned progress.

This is a space created from experience.


A deep understanding that strength is not just physical - it’s the foundation for performance, longevity, and resilience.

At The Warm Up Studio, we focus on:

* Building strength with intent
* Improving movement and addressing dysfunctions
* Supporting long term wellbeing and managing physical decline

Through structured training, we develop coordination, power, and rotational strength, key elements, alongside nutrition, for ageing well and maintaining a capable, resilient body.

Self funded. Independent.


Built in the centre of London, 60 seconds from Oxford Circus.

Today, The Warm Up Studio works with personal trainers from diverse backgrounds, as well as founders, CEOs, investors, and operators who apply the same standards to their bodies as they do to their work.
