How far would you travel to train?

I'm throwing this one out to the masses? Just how far are you prepared to travel to get some decent training sessions in. I'm not really talking about one off's but what your prepared to do on a weekly basis.

Well, I was doing a weekly and sometimes twice a week 80 mile round trip to Mark Haydock's unit for over a year but can't afford to at the moment. If finances allowed i would train more frequently at Oly' Sports Gym which is a 130 mile round trip, but will have to settle for one trip a month to each at the moment.

Since i started training 1-2 times a week at the Olympic, its over a 2hour round trip, but well worth it
Only bas***d is, I work a very physical job (concreting)and its starting to affect my training as i've hit my forties.

I travel about 1hr or 50miles ( round trip ) to train at Tony's every week.

I've recently made 3 runs down to the Olympic Sports gym and thats a 240 mile / 4 hr round trip.

TBH for me it's more a money issue than anything else.

I use to do a 62 mile round trip to train 4 days a week

In my younger days (long before marriage & children) I would think nothing of jumping on a train from South Wales to Birmingham or even Swindon or London to try a gym with the latest bit of super duper equipment or just to see some bum American body builder. Invariably I was disappointed but it was a real education!

The best gym I ever trained in is Rob Thomas's garage. It nothing fancy but Its got a power rack, loads of free weights and a world class bencher to train with who also happens to the best friend a man could have. Yet I no longer have the time there and its only 15 miles away!

who is the bencher you talk about?

i make the trip into the back garden at least 5 times a week to train on saturdays i have an 18mile round trip to the container

for events

Its only an 8 mile round trip but the biking makes it a f**ker lol.

I'm sure that cycling is helping your squatting if the British seniors is anything to go by Joe.

Same as Pagan - I would be willing to travel 5 hours each way to train at Westside but no way I could afford the gas

2 hours ,once a week gets expensive other wise

i make the trip to colliseum every friday (from now on) used to go on sundays but not i go to erdington, they are btoh about 1 hour 20 round trip. and ive been to the container 3 times now? which is about a 3 hour round trip, plan to go back there soon too (if j.t will have me lol)

I've made a f**king lot of stupid daft travelling to training camps, but 99% of them were worth it. Longest was 6 f**king hours one way, LOL

30 mins. much more and id struggle to fit my training in at all!
