Yes, 150mins. You're supposed to type your numberplate in on a computer inside but I always forget...

Cheers,that's good to know. I'm moving back to Sheffield and looking for a gym. I like the idea that it's open 24/7 as I like to workout at all hours. Can anyone tell me if it's easy to get on squat racks and smith machines? Also,do they have a system for reserving equipment with time limits when it gets busy?

[user10239 10]

n.e.r.d - you're hardly acting as a positive ambassador of the "muscle madness" gym.

 

bogeyman101 - there are 2 olympic squat racks and 1 smith machine, a goodish selection of weights, some fixed weights. Don't really care about dumbells so I can't tell you about that

 

Longest I've waited for weights is about 20 mins - but thats when you get your cardio in! There are a ridiculous number of cardio machines, but not a large selection, if that makes sense. So like 50 treadmills but none of those silly bicycle arm machines.

 

They also have kettlebells if you're into that (fad).

 

And they used to have a sharps bin in the toilets, that they thankfully seem to have got rid of.

Thanks for the info Carl. Pure Gym sounds like it could be a goer. I'll check it out along with FU(it's much closer for me) but Pure Gym sounds more like it'll suit me.

Basically, I have worked at a fair few of the local gyms in Sheffield and/or hav trained in them. Basically if you're more into your cardiovascular exercises then pure gym is probably the best choice with its large display of reasonable cardio equipment, but if you are intending to go in and lift, its kind of a waste of tome due to the fact that unless you want to train at 12 midnight even then, dumbells don't go very heavy, the Olympic bars arnt actually Olympic bars only. You pay cheap at this gym and that is what you get. Atmosphere isn't the friendlest too many ego's in the gym.

Muscle madness besides sounding like a rough gym, it withput a doubt has the best equipment this side of town, a lot of people may look like hulk, but everyone seems to appreciate everyone around. The gym is always really clean and it plays some great music . Other gyms in the area active hallam, smallish gym, quite cheap but no parking, good weight room, cardiovascular is lagging. Normally quiet spesh b4 5 and after 7.

Ponds forge, good for classes and cardiovascular/swimming weights have a lot to be desired.

Virgin active is also a very good gym aswel, very friendly staff and customers literally suits every kind of trainer, but generally comes at a cost.
