just checked that out and sent them an email asking for some info, thanks man.

To work? going to uni no work for me! No seriously, thanks for the advice I just read some old threads (probably should have searched before posting) about those types of gyms in and around sheffield. I wanted one pretty close to SHU so I could walk, but I could easily tram somewhere not too far away from the city campus. thanks again.

Hope i'm not coming across as some meathead lol, I'm by no means that. I just don't want to be paying for a gym that completely based around machines/other stuff I don't need like cardio equipment and saunas, PT classes etc. I know its very specific but I'm just looking for a reasonably priced gym with a lot of free weights that go up heavy, few machines like lat pulldown/tbar/leg press etc, and if possible a rack or two and dip station. Going to stop spamming this thread up now haha.

thanks for the reply, but I'm not bothered about the sauna/classes/swimming or using 4 venues tbh. I checked their website out and couldn't find a list of equipment at all, just a tonne of information on PT... Like I said though just interested in a well equipped gym with heavy dumbbells, olympic bars, racks, pullups, dips station etc.

Hi, I currently live in the Nottingham/Derby area but will hopefully be moving up to Sheffield when I start uni in september at Hallam. I've been lifting seriously for a few years now and I'm looking for a reasonably priced gym that is well equipped and quite close to the uni. I'm not bothered about spa's/pools/classes etc. I just want a decent gym that has olympic barbells, a free weight area, dumbbells up to 100lb+ and if possible...dare I ask...a squat rack or two lol. Basically not necessarily a hardcore gym, but I don't want to be going to no planet fitness equivalent (no offense to anybody). Anyone got any suggestions? I have looked at the uni gym itself and it looks like a bunch of cardio equipment and some smith machines, not what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance
