yep that was my impression the one time i trained there, a serious form of muscular christianity. Appart from its 19th Century revival chapel look outside youd be hard pressed to know there was much pressing and sweating going on inside. Afterwards I kind a wished i had stayed there as it was not too far from home but I ended up training in another hardcore gym heaving with metal and musclemen as it offered better hours and fitted in better with comuting.

That's great!
After staring at all the mid-day MILFS on the elipticals and having very inapporpriate thoughts, I can go to confession and then be ready to do it all over again the next day.

Brilliant!

an old gym but i can guarantee there was more respect in there than some of the "Fitness Spas" you see all over the world. Sort of gym where you would see Wooo in the corner swinging his sledge... ;D ;D
