I've been lucky to go to some great gyms.
North West Mecca- home of Nathan de Asha- best gym and atmosphere i've trained in
Muscle mechanics- Liverpool
Gym 21- Liverpool - former Mr Universe Billy Jones gym
O'Malleys Warrington- home to Walter o Malley and i saw Frank Richards train there
Valhalla, Wrexham- I knew former mr Wales Dennis Phoenix- this gym was underneath Wrexham FC's ground. Cracking place and some real characters training there
Flex gym- Wrexham- guy called Paul Arrowsmith great NW HW competitor
Dowe Dynamics- Archway london- trained with Ian Dowe a few times, Andrulla Blanchette used to trian there she was a really sound person
Muscleworks, Bethnal Green, London- Savs gym- pro's like Brian Buchanan, JD Dowadu, Jamo Nezzar, Rob Wall, Lenny St Cyr, Eddie Abbew all trained there. Great gym and everyone was helpful.
Skyline- Catford, London- womens pro Kimberley Anne Jones gym- she was and still is a great coach and a friend of over 20 years. Introduced us to iris kyle and loads of other pro's over the years and could leave most men in the ditch training.
I've been lucky to train at all of the above. I love the camaraderie of the gym. i've never so much as been told off let alone banned largely because I dont act like a complete Hankins when out and treat everyone with respect.
