Good Gyms in London

I’m moving to London in two weeks, can anybody recommend a goodgym in the City?

I’ve signed up for Gymbox in Covent Garden which apparently is opening soon… looks rather large and non-fu fu from what I’ve seen. My current training facilities are highly unimpressive though.

That said, I have an eery feeling that Gymbox won’t have a powercage/squat rack either and I’ll be forced to cancel the subscription after the first month.

So yea, if anyone can mention a good, testosterone friendly gym anywhere in London, I would be also curious.

I found the following on a UK powerlifting site, they all seem to be in North London so that might be too out of the way for you.

Pure Strength Gym, Unit 7j Eley Estate, Nobel Road, Edmonton (North London), 0208 884 4555

  • Genesis Gym - 333 Athlon Road, Alperton, Wembley, London (020) 85668687 - MONOLIFT & strongman equipment

  • Tower Gym, Charles Lamb Institue (Converted church) Church Street, Edmonton N9. 0208 807 4171

Out of those, Genesis has the best reputation, with some top powerlifters training there.

if i can recommend you a reaally good gym in London that would be Genesis Gym it’s got all you’ll ever need to train for powerlift/strongman/bodybuilding with areas designated for dropping weights (olympic lifting) proper barbells and Eleiko competition weights, thick barbells etc. i train there and should you need anymore info just ask me

Thanks guys. The Genesis Gym sounds like what I’m after, where is it?

Sorry, ignore that. I evidently can’t remember more than one post at a time. How much is membership in Genesis?

it’s ?35 a month/?100 for 3 months pretty much standard prices for a non comercial gym (my wife works out at LA Fitness where it is ?60 a month and for that you get all sorts of lovely mashines /sarcasm/)
