I have to go to Birmingham for a week because of work, are there any gyms with strongman kit in or around Birmingham that I can use Mon-Fri after work?

Cheers

Few years back someone opened something up near Heartlands hospital. No idea if it is still going, or what it was called.

It didnt when I checked it about 2-3 years ago. Whole gym just machines. There was a tiny dark room at the back which was the squat room. But the racks were in bad shape and I think they had maybe one stone.

Since then they moved the strongman section pal, it's a lot more open now. Your right though before that it was limited to a dark backroom. Last I knew they had about 5 stones 90-170 ish, yoke, farmers handles, log.

Of course at that was couple years ago, so I've no idea what it's like more recently

stones from 80-185kg with height adjustable loading platform
yoke
