Hey dudes,
I’m new in town, and looking for a hardcore gym anywhere around West London, preferably zones 2-3. I went out to Golds gym in Hanwell and was very impressed with their range of manicures, facials, yoga classes and creche facilities. NOT. Not after anything fancy, just a place with a decent set of free weights. Cheers.
try genesis gym. it’s in alperton which is near to you, about 1mins walk from the sainsburys on ealing rd. nearest tube is alperton tube and hangar lane. its a great hardcore gym, db’s upto 200lbs, a place to do Olympic lifting, etc. good luck!
Hey reg, how long a tube ride is that from the City (say, Liverpool or Bank St. Station?) Or can you suggest anywhere nearer to the City? I’m looking at pulling a 1-2 week assignment in London in late October or November - have no idea what hotel I’ll get stuck in, but the office is on Bishopsgate near London Wall. I can’t find any useful gym locator for London on-line. Thanks!
X-Man - why not try MuscleWorks in Bethnal Green as reccommended on another thread by Scott (UK). I work on Bishopsgate too and am thinking about switching to Muscleworks (when I’m less embarrased by my condition!). It’s about a 10-15 min. walk - not far at all. Do a search for their web site. Looks good, and you can either pay membership of just pay for each workout, something that you might find hard to do at the other local fitness gyms.
