Tom's CNS is better than steroids Member 2886, 2973 posts SQ 190, BP 122.5, DL 210 522.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Yep, me! Unfortunate is an appropriate word. Although to be fair I've only tried 3 gyms. Currently at DW Sports simply cos it opens til 10. Get funny looks for working with less than 8 reps though.

Plus for a busy gym you'd think there'd be more than 1 flat bench. That was going to be my next question of where do you train lol. Have you tried anywhere else? Ste, in terms of event training there's the Junction Gym at Horbury which you obviously know about, it's only 15-20 mins from mine. Don't know of any others, can't be that far for you from Donny?

drew too Member 2696, 245 posts	When I lived in Doncaster I trained at the Dome, bodybuilder gym mostly but got everything you need, no event stuff though. I also used to go to a gym near the train station that had a big old tyre in the car park, can't remember the name of it though, sorry.

There is only 1 power cage and you can squat! But this is used for benching etc as well as there are no free benches so very limited, especially if busy.

'Looks like Ben Affleck according to Pagan' Member 876, 2506 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 260 620.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	Not sure about training there, but I hear the tap water is to die for.
