    Aaron Savage, Powerlifter

    Great gym for Powerlifting and Weightlifting, whatever your needs are. As someone who was scared of powerlifting and weightlifting, I choose to give this gym a go to help me. The members and the staff gives you a real warm welcome and assurance which has given me confidence in my first night in there. Great atmosphere in there too. Looking forward to the next session.
