Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
The Reebok gym in London has these nice weights where the plates are in rubber. Makes for handling the dumbells pleasurable as some weights specially since a 50kg+ dumbell can dig in when resting them on your legs..

Everything else in the gym could be considered overkill. And their smith machines are crap.

My next gym better have simliar dumbells or I might never leave this one.

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
Dont get dumbells that are screw on. Only get one piece dumbells that way the wont break if people drop them.

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
The plates & dumb bells we have chosen are rubberised to keep noise down a bit. The plates have holes so you can handle them easily too, and the dumb bells are a one piece arrangement as you say. This is much better from a maintainance point of view as the ones with an allen key bolt inevitably come loose which drives me mad.

Well Paul & me have been formally viewing properties almost every day and we now have a shortlist of three (maybe four, one has parking issues) to choose from now so it's basically negotiating the lease terms that will be the deciding factor. Once we have this sorted this journal will kick off properly.

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
Paul, this has been so interesting to follow. I just hope your journey becomes a profitable one for you and your partner.

You have been immensely helpful to myself and many board members here and I wish you all the success possible.

I will definately be attending for a session once you open.


Cheers

I'll second exactly what Leeston said. I'm only 40 minutes away, so I'll certainly be trying it out.

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
Thanks Lee, there is never a guarantee in business but I think I have researched my market well enough to give us a better than average chance. I have approached the preparation for the gym in the same way I do for a show, leaving no stone unturned & far too many spreadsheets. I am a self confessed geek, but it will pay off one day!

Good to hear bud. You won't want to leave once you've been once, just you watch.

Jeez Lee, 40 mins. You must either have a helicopter, a Ferrari with a police escort or a teleportation device (if you do have a teleportation machine, can I borrow it please? ). The M6 is a bit of a car park at the best of times.

No excuse for you not to join up full now I know that!

Ahhhh thanks Nine. To be honest, I used to work as a Litigation Consultant for a firm in Manchester city centre. If I left Brum (North Brum that is) at 05.00 in the morn I could be in the outskirts of Manchester for about 05.45 (and no I dont mean stoke!!!).

However, from there, it would take another 45 - 60 mins to get into the centre!!!!!! Gotta sort out that route from M6 (jnc 19 I think) to the centre, bloody nightmare.

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
sorry nine, going off at a tangent here but just did AA route planner. From my house to knutsford (I know it is not manchester but that is the only place I can think of in the area at the moment) is 67 miles. 67 miles at 05.00 hrs in the morning is a doddle.

However, I must point out that after 6 months of doing this once a week I was caught speeding and afterwards allowed myself an extra 60 mins on my journey!!!!

Re: Ninepack's new Gym Journal
05:00 you will reach Manchester from Birmingham in 40 mins, but try setting off at 7:30am.... 40 hours maybe!
