Temple Gym doesn't look shit, but it doesn't look like it's based in England. Just look at the people training in there.
-
Temple gym is one of hard-core gyms around world.
-
Is everyone in Birmingham mulatto? :P
-
similar to my gym
great for bodybuilding
but horrible to meet women HORRIBLE
why?
because number one: no women there
number two: if in a blue moon woman is there you look like a twink next to the ifbb peopel
-

Bought in for the vid. They kicked out the juicers who usually frequent that shithole.

Right on cue ;D
I trained there between 1996 to 2010. 14 very enjoyable years of training. I only stopped training there because I changed jobs and moved house and I've got another decent gym only a mile from my new house.
It's not a shit gym for anyone being a dick about it - it's got all the equipment you'll ever need. I would still train there if I was in Birmingham city centre more often.

Haha, that was filmed in September 2008 - story behind it was that Quaker Oats called me out on my lift claims so I decided to have a bit of fun with it and post up a video. I shot another one about a week later inclining 3 plates for 8 reps. To be fair he did apologise and was nice to me after that :)
By the way, the guy spotting me in that video was a Russian guy who hardly spoke a word of English - when he came to the gym he must have weighed about 20 stone of nothing but fat but trained his ass off at Temple over the next few years, dieted it all off and then built muscle on top - he stands out for me as one of the best transformations I've ever seen at the gym over the years.

Unlike your gym, a place where you can drop your weights ;D

I walked past it about 20min ago on my way back to the station. Bunch of idiots with tank tops (it's near freezing point today) and bandanas standing outside smoking.
It had become too well known. Now it attract your scratch and sniff creatures.

Cool old school gym. The eye candy will be lacking in a place like that, unfortunately.

Jason, his gym looks no bigger than mine in the video. If you don't mind me asking, approximately how big do you think it and how much was the membership (in US $$)?

Most current gym owners don't know how to organize & facilitate a good gym. This is because many of them don't even lift.
My gym owner is a good man, but he don't know jack shit about these aspects. Instead, he's following the latest 'fitness trends' :-\

It's not a big place - I haven't been to the gym since they got rid of the old leg room and replaced it with that new one as seen in the video but it looks to be about the same size as the old one, so I'd say all in all about 2000 sq ft.

So what if most people that go there don't 'lift'? Their money worth less than the 5'3 perma-bulker with high blood pressure and cocktail of drugs yelling at himself in the mirror?
If it weren't for the fact that it happened to be the gym where THE greatest bodybuilder of the 90s trained it would've closed years ago and be a bagel shop now.
I also enjoy a dumbbell and barbell orientated gym but that's not where the smart money goes. Off course some of them will work well but for every 'hardcore' gym there's 20 fitness gyms that out earns that gym by a large margin.

From a pure commercial point of view you're dead right. Someone starts a hardcore gym for idealistic/passionate reasons, not to make a fortune.

Bodybuilders dont spend money
They go and train and go home.
Thats why bodybuilding gyms tend to close.

when I lived in London I trained at some cracking gyms
muscleworks in bethnal green
dowe dynamics in archway
skyline in catford
and even the gym box chain that sprung up was a good combo of hardcore and clean
in Liverpool there is gym21 in kenny and rem that about it
truth is the money is in dead memberships- people who join in jan for a year and never turn up
and fitness bods/ corporates
it sad but its true
one thing that does win me up is people hiding behind filthy and 'hard core'
savs gym muscleowrks has jay dee dowadu. jamo nezzar, ian wadley, brian bucahanan, pat nicholls, lenny st cyr- it was a who's who of gb bb and strength- but personal hygienie issues weren't tolerated. and nothing is more irritating than people sweating last nights curry all over the gaff

Hehe, all areas I wouldn't even drive through if you paid me 500 bucks. The best 'hardcore' gym I've been in where somewhere in Euston. Went there about 10 years ago and couldn't for the life of me remember the name or how to get there. Was good though.

You did the same trick as Dennis Wolf, by marrying a female tycoon? Smart!
-
ian dose was great
not seen him in years
but he was a hyper-responder
would go from looking untrained to a winner in 3 or 4 months - used to train every other day - body split in 2- 2 compound exercises per bodypart - he always used to say do 3 x 8-12- when you get 3 12s increase. simple.
all round sound fella

That's a great way to put it and so true. All I see around are these fad gyms that are all classes of every gimmick imaginable.

Trained there September 2013.
I see Dorian has got a new tattoo. Also, Birmingham is full of Muslims.

Musclecenter was a stud in his younger days no homo.
Must have blessed many asian ladies ladyboys with his load ;D.

Love the intro with Dorian standing in the alley surrounded by trash bins. ;D
The gym, from what I can see, still lacks open floor space for deadlifts, barbell rows, etc. And the squatting area is like a frickin' closet.
Still, I like the idea, and Yates is a great guy.

I am lucky, my current gym owner is an iron addict and former 4 time national champion in my country. We've known each other since teenagers when we started working out.

I love the fact that Dorian only ever had 1 set of poses that he just repeated in the same fashion at every event. Unlike that head spinning, grapefruit fucking, gaylord, Kai Greene, aka "Mr Getting Shit Bummed"
