Dorian Yates' Temple Gym - English Mecca of Bodybuilding

i bet there's some right shady fuckers in that gym !

Hahaha, I left there about two years ago now but I know better not to talk about any of them on here!

Out of curiosity, how many active members would Temple have during a good year?

When I was last there I would estimate there was at least forty or fifty "regulars" who would be in there at least four times a week but obviously not all at the same time - a lot of guys go in there first thing in the morning and then there's the lunchtime lot and the evening lot.

I used to train there around 5pm after work and there would be at least twenty or thirty of us in on a good day.

You deadlift from the floor inside the power cage at Temple Gym, same for squats, same for rows.

Now THAT would suck.

It's one of the few gyms in the world I'd like to work out: Golds (original?), Temple, and Musclecenter of course......and maybe that Ronnie gym.

Not the Elite FTS training facility?

You should train in my formal gym (that weightlifting club, remember?). That place was loaded with middle aged men who enjoy music from old farts, holding a guitar.
The owner almost got a meltdown when he heard my Disturbed CD (everyone can play their own stuff in case no one is training), good memories...
