 | 24 Hour Gym Swindon Just wondering if anyone has any experience of the 24 hour gym in Swindon...I have been looking around for a gym and found this one...its about 30 miles away but living in the sticks that comes as no great surprise and its an easy journey... The nearest Gym to me is in Andover but I have heard mixed reviews and they have a fairly big staff turnover which doesn't bode well IMHO...if a staff won't stick around there has to be a reason. There is also Tidworth, that used to be run by the MOD but is now under the local authority... I like the idea of the 24 hour gym, it would fit in well with my peculiar working hours and its a family run affair. I would far rather support a family business than some local authority or some huge corporate set up who probably don't give a sh1t either way...sure Swindon is a bit of a hike but if its good i'll go and have a butchers..private businesses tend to look after the punters better hence the appeal... Any thoughts or actual knowledge of the place.. Ta ever so... Andrew |

| Re: 24 Hour Gym Swindon thanks for that I will go and see Ironworx...don't fancy my chances being new to this but I really don't want a health club type place...I have heard that the Andover gym doesn't like tatts on show which seems bloody odd...they have MTV constantly showing on a big screen and the singers are plastered in them so what the issue is with Tatts I have no idea... Do you think that Ironworx will be cool with a newcomer? Cheers Andrew |

| Re: 24 Hour Gym Swindon I disagree I train at 24 hour gym! I think it great personally, although I have never trained at Ironworx, where about is that out of intrest might go down for a session! Although the owner is unusual in what he says works for him for example 'why deadlift' he said when we had a conversation, you cant agree with his results. Am a student so only pay a reasonable £20 a month and have a key for access whenever! The guys down they are pretty sound and willing to spot you whenever you want, I train slightly different to most of them focusing more on compounds than I see other people! |

| Re: 24 Hour Gym Swindon Thanks for the information...I will check both places out and see whats what...Ironworx has unusual opening hours which for me might be difficult...very small windows of oppertunity especially at the weekends which I guess will be very busy seeing as they only open for a few hours... By the way Wogihao what does "meh" mean, sorry but I can't work out the abbreviation.. Cheers Andrew |

| Re: 24 Hour Gym Swindon Hello BcFcChris I just tried to send you a PM but it transpires that I have to have posted 15 posts to do so...go figure? Ironworx does not have a website but you can google them (uk pages only) and they come up with their number... |
