City gym did ok but is a BB gym. Hardcore though.

There's lougars in southsea which is decent.

But... strength tec is the one mate.

Other than that plenty of commercial gyms.

True, but with Texas power bars and free chalk it is set up to do some good strengh training there. One of the owners has done some PL and few other PL train there.

Off course strengthtec is the bizz and if your a SM and staying in the area get down there!

I use City Gym in Pompey and would recommend it.
Went back there a year ago after over 20 years away from any weights.

lol, cheers for the input lads. Ive worked away places and went to nearest commercial gym and if not membership they wanting a tenner plus twenty quid induction for a sesh! If im there through the week, anywhere thats handy with a barbell, squat rack and allow chalk will do. If there ova wkends i wont be passing up the chance to try strengthtec!

....now just read the rest of the thread.
City gym has Oly/PL bars, bumper weights and competing powerlifters there.
Only ever seen one woman so nothing to distract you!
