Just moved down to Kingston Upon Thames and looking online all I can see are the typical fitness gyms. Looking for a free weights gym that can cater to a powerlifter. Can anyone suggest a gym in the area? I also work in Leatherhead which is south of Kingston, so anything close to Leatherhead would also be suitable.

Thanks.

Checked out the website, they are about 40 miles from where I am staying which is a bit too far to travel 3 times a week to train unfortunately.

Jeff, you have hit the nail on the head.. I need squat racks and a full length bar to do power curls.

You could try physique warehouse in West Molesey (near hampton court). Its more of a bodybuilding gym but it has a deadlift platform, squat rack. (crappy) power rack and up to 70kg dumbbells. I've never had any issues using chalk or anything.

I'm thinking of trying out The Gallery in Windsor on weekends as I head its good.

I lived in Kingston and East Molesey for about 10 years - we used to train at Crystal Palace. It's not far, but is not an easy journey in a car

I'm interested in gyms near Leatherhead / Guildford - the ones listed above seem to be 15-25miles away. I've a work trip coming up and will be in the area for a week, and would like to get a training session as I will have a competition coming up.

Cheers,

Andy

I think Bish uses a gym around there. Was even talking of running some events type sessions which would suggest it was a pretty solid gym. Maybe drop him a PM?

Just for record - Bish pointed me towards Locker 27 in Weybridge, who said they can arrange for a deal for a couple of sessions one week. Thanks for your help.

Went to Locker 27 tonight - the guys there were v.friendly and they have some good stuff for general powerlifting training (bars/discs/racks/platforms) and some strongman stuff in the corner (Bish's I think). If you are going there to train then it is probably better to go in a group, or phone up to make sure there will be somebody there if you want a spot. They had a group of young kids in for an activity session at the time, and some of them were squatting / olympic lifting with some good technique. Impressive.
