Inside strongman Eddie Hall’s epic mansion including boxing ring, spa, outdoor kitchen and hyperbaric chamber
WHEN it comes to Eddie Hall, the former World’s Strongest Man always goes big.
Whether it’s lifting record-breaking weights or eating enormous calorie-filled portions to fuel his workouts, the 164kg Brit doesn’t mess about.
Hall is currently preparing for a boxing showdown with fellow strongman and Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson.
And every part of his day is tailor-made to making sure he can emerge victorious from their Dubai battle on March 19.
Good preparation starts at home and Eddie’s huge mansion is ideal for a man who stands 6ft3 and clocks the scales at over 25 stone.
He first let cameras in during the Covid-19 lockdown in July 2020, giving fans a unique glimpse into his home comforts and what it takes to maintain that stunning strength.
Originally a three-story build, Eddie has plans to add another level to the already sizeable pad he purchased in December 2019.
There’s a huge kitchen to help fuel his workouts, with Hall scoffing up to 7,000 calories per day of his partner’s home cooking.
His wife Alex is a tattoo artist and uses an outdoor glass-fronted shed to ink clients.
‘THE INTRUDER SAID, LET’S DO SOME BOXING’
While Hall has built a state-of-the-art fitness center so he can hit the gym without even leaving the front door.
It includes a seven-meter long pool, sauna, steam room and a hyperbaric chamber for oxygen therapy.
Eddie follows a meticulous healing ritual after each extreme workout, aiding recovery to his aching muscles and getting him ready for another day on the weights.
And to get his eye in ahead of the showdown with Thor, the house even features its own boxing ring in the basement.
Hall explained: “I’m very big on my recovery. When I’m training for a big fight, I can’t afford to go to a big gym and get in a sauna with 10 people and breathing in their air.
“If one of them is ill and then I get ill. I can’t afford that.”
GUARD DOG ‘MR WOLFY’
Hall’s manor might be decked out for personal training, but it’s also designed to be somewhere the big man can kick back with kids Layla and Maximus after a long day in the gym.
Eddie is installing an outside entertainment area, complete with waterproof TVs, a sound system and BBQ.
And he has big plans for the 1980s build, with another bedroom, living space and bathroom on the menu.
His tour includes a look inside the bedroom he shares with wife Alex, which includes a huge walk-in wardrobe and two double beds.
Hall continues: “We do sleep together but I do have to have my own space because I’m so big. I hate having an arm or a head on me.”

Security has been an issue for the Newcastle-under-Lyme native, with a brave but foolish intruder breaking into his garden and trying to FIGHT him.
As a result the location of his house remains a tightly guarded secret, with Eddie revealing in October 2021 he’s taken on a new guard dog called Wolf to help protect the property.
Eddie explained: “In my old house we had good security but I had a lot of problems with people coming up to the property at stupid hours asking for autographs and pictures.
“I have had it where people have climbed over the fence and asked for pictures and autographs.
“[The intruder] put his fists up and was like ‘let’s do some boxing’. Some crazy old man.
“It just goes to show being who I am does draw whackos, so the security has been a number one feature for me.”
They will now fight in the heat of Dubai on March 19, with Hall having fully recovered from a detached bicep.
