Need to get training again and i'm moving to preston tommorow (ashton on ribble). I want to goto a place where theres good atmosphere/people and obviously decent equipment but also somewhere I could do some oly lifts (or try to!).

What you guys make of both of these places?

Cheers,

Ash

Exertrain is just around the corner from you, plus I believe the first session is free for Sugden members.. definitely worth trying!

because he is moving to ashton on ribble .... he asked about 2 gym is in local area probably because he doesnt really want to travel 20+ miles !!!

adlington is a great, great place but the lifting world doesnt start and end there ...the other gyms have better facilities

LOL, I thought he said Ashton or Ribble.

As in Ashton under Lyne, which is why I suggested Olympic!

Preston isnt far from Adlington, you have to travel if you want to go to good places.
