DH		Which one?	28-03-2017 @ 08:49
Member 1762, 624 posts SQ 152.5, BP 125, DL 170 447.5 kgs @ 81.5kgs UnEq	I've been out of training for a long time and am looking to start back. I used to have when I was with my ex a power rack etc in the garden but that's a no-no as I'm now in an apartment. I'm right in the middle of a pure gym and a gym group one? Is there any difference other than the gym group is a bit cheaper, both owned by the same company aren't they? They're both 24hrs which suits my working hours is it worth paying the extra fiver to go to pure? Cheers

Lovely ass Congrats. Member 5958, 2315 posts SQ 280, BP 170, DL 300 750.0 kgs @ 138kgs UnEq	Personally id be looking at which one has equipment best suited to your needs. They will most likely be very very similar but one may have a better squat rack then the other etc etc

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3220 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320 810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq	trained for a month at pure in spinningfields manc about 4 year ago with a friend - was heaving all the time, even 7am. didn't like it: racks pretty crap as they have not close enough spacings for each hook height bars ok, but with enough weight they'll whip and bend. dickhead PTs everywhere. tren,clen+clingfilm brigade everywhere. the other one i've no idea - look at the equipment, look at how busy it is. most budget gyms are ok, but not for serious training (e.g. exercise4less i've once or twice been with a mate have terrible benches - a nightmare to unrack over 140kg on)

Thought I'd read somewhere they were owned by the same company? Must've been something else. You work/worked for the gym group didn't you John (remember from older posts)?

Genuinely I wouldn't join either for Powerlifting purposes if I'm being honest. TGG Oldham has a platform and bumpers etc. Plenty of bars and benches. I'd find a more hardcore gym though tbf.

Member 1762, 624 posts SQ 152.5, BP 125, DL 170 447.5 kgs @ 81.5kgs UnEq	Cheers for the replies. It's not purely for powerlifting purposes at the minute, just want to get back training and put some decent weight back on. I've gone from 91-93 down to 77 at the minute with stopping training and doing more cycling than anything. I miss my legs though, getting a bit too road cyclisty (not even a word) at the minute! Haha!
