Cityfitness Willeston St - old Sports Wide

[Chillicat]

Anyone ever used this gym? Particularly since it became a Cityfitness?

I've just been offered a job down that end of town, so assuming they haven't changed their mind when I phone to accept tomorrow this will be my new weekday gym. Just wondering if anyone knows what it's like. I have a colleague who used to go when it was Sports Wide and he liked it - small and basic but everything he needed. But I'm particularly interested in what it's like now.

It kinda makes no difference, as I'll be going there anyway - but be nice to know in advance if anyone has any thoughts and opinions about it.

Train there a bit during the week have a passport membership with cf. it's ok lots of cardio equip good set of free weights etc, squat rack benches etc. nothing to rave about but does job for a lunchtime workout. Gets bloody busy around lunchtime period so I try and go either side of then. The one on lamb ton above whitcolls is not bad too.

Thanks. I've also got a CF passport membership. Not sure what kind of flexibility my new job will have with taking lunch - I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I guess I'll just rejig my programme to make sure I do all the main stuff on a weekend so that I don't get stressed out if I can't get on a squat rack during the week if it's too busy.

When I trained there on wkds it was all good no one round so you should be sweet to bang out a few 200 kg squats

Nah, it'll be weekdays only there for me, I live out J'ville way and use that CF on weekends.

I gave it a trial once. Like above, its a smallish gym but has all the gear you need. The deal breaker for me were the weak showers. Like standing in luke warm rain.

Good point. Not sure if my new work will have a shower - at the moment I normally use the shower at work rather than CF Thorndon, just because it's nicer.

Weak showers are rubbish, but if it's only for a quickie after the gym I can live with it.
