There is a uk board, maybe try there. Although it's not too active as it one was.



Also; fuck off.

Muwcleworks is a bit of a treck from Paddington not worth the trip both ways and so many tube changes. It's by Bethnal Green in east London and you'll be north west-ish in Paddington.

There aren't many hardcore gyms in central London really...all space is taken up by chains...I'm not aware of any near Paddington.

Depends where in Paddington you're staying as it's still a pretty big area.

There are no bodybuilding gyms in the area. You might be lucky and be close to an LA fitness or Fitness First which are 2 of the better gym chains which will have loads of equipment. Worst case you will have to use one of the community gyms going under the name Better gyms. There are 5 or 4 of them in Paddington. You'll find at least one squat rack, smith machine and bench press and a few machines. Very few serious lifter or juiced up bodybuilders bodybuilders though, but there is no lunk or grunt alarm or whatever that BS is for you to worry about.

Sadly, most getbiggers are incapable of setting off the "lunk alarm"

Go to Genesis in Wembley that's not too far from Paddington, the world raw record squat holder owns that joint. I train there Saturdays so pop in and ill be the one roaring while deadlifting.
