God damn, I need a gym like that! A gym with decent equipment and, more important, a gym where you can scream without turning heads.
I'd been training at Temple gym for over ten years up until February of last year and the reason why I left was because the gym doesn't actually have "decent" equipment - it may look fine on the video but most of the stuff is getting seriously bust up - they're constantly having to repair things because people treat the equipment like shit and the dumbells are always breaking - I just got sick of it in the end so I felt like a change of scenery for a while.
Temple gym is still a proper "hardcore" gym though, not because of the rustic equipment and dungeon environment - it's hardcore because of the attitude of the members - they all train incredibly hard and put some serious work in - you can see that the passion is there.
I've trained with Leroy many times and he's a good guy - very strong and does it right and I learned a lot from him. I still have quite a few mates in the gym and I go back every now and again to pay a visit but for now I'm happy to train in my current gym which is more closer to home and more practical to train at. Once you've been a member at Temple Gym though, especially for as long as I was, you never really leave it - it's like Getbig - you always go back eventually.
