Hi,

Am looking to enter the strongman world and wondered if there are any training facilities up North that can be recommended? I live in the Lancaster area but wouldnt mind travelling some distance to get a well recommended place to train

Any advice at all much appreciated

Salt Ayre Leisure in Lancaster on Sundays mate. Get to train with a world strongest man competitor in Hixxy and two if Jack Mac turns up! Great bunch of guys who are very helpful and friendly! (apart from Chaos, he's a fat c**t)

That's you not getting a lift again! Dumb ass

Salt Ayre deffo pick off the bunch but there's also

OLympic Sport Gym in Ashton under lyne

Stans place in Blackburn (dunno where it is though)

Junction gym (not strictly north west but only short trip down m62)

There's also few gyms I know of with some strongman kit

Sas gym in Leyland
Catts in Wigan (actually only thing I think they have is a log!)
Some place in Blackpool I thought? Ben - tick Tock goes I think?
