Agree :ditto: When they were just starting to roll out couple of years ago I went to check it out at it was just opposite my house. No squat rack, no proper bench, heaviest dumbbell was 24kg. Superviser openly admitted that they are not welcoming bb/pl people.

Their dbs go up to 45 or 50kg not 24kg.

They dnt have squat rack or free weight bench presses, they have smith machines. It's abit safer this way for u supervised 24 hour training.

You might not know this or hdve opened your mind to such a crazy idea lol but you don't need to bench, squat or deadlift to have a good physique or Have a good workout. To say its not a real gym is abit silly. Everyone automatically thinks its crap because it doesn't have the above pieces of equipment.

Bodybuilders and power lifters make up such a small % of gym members in nz and every where for that matter, that to expect every gym to be set up and cater for them is a silly expectation.

Jetts is 24hrs, it's cheap, no contract and you can use any jetts throughout the country.

I'm a member of jetts just for its 24hr factor and its so cheap that even if I only go once a week it's worth my money. I train there when I'm busy or staying out at my girlfriends which is on other side of Auckland to my gym.

I find it fine and can improvise almost any exercise I want to do in a more functional free weight orientated type gym. It's a good model to Pt out of also, rent is reasonable and the potential client base is huge, looking at working at one now that Iv left club physical

wow you make good sales pitches. after reading that i checked out the prices and changed my opinion on that gym. sure is cheap which was most surprising. right on about the equipment, i see a huge number of people go to my gym (which is reasonably well equipped) only for their 30 minutes of cardio and the stretching area then leave.

I was looking for gym (permanent) for myself and not for training your average Joe hence it wasn't suited for me. And I remember mentioning that it was 2 years ago when they just opened. So your remark wasn't thought through well before posting.

Yeah well it's not for everyone and if u want to free squat, bench press and do shit with an Olympic bar then for sure don't join there obviously.

Im just saying the information posted on a forum about a gym or whatever for that matter should be as current as possible... What relevance is talking about what DBs they had 2 years ago. I was just correcting you no offence. If you havnt been somewhere for 2 years you should be asking the questions not giving the answers.

It's good to know ur better than average joe too bro.

Make the hike a little bit further out to new Lynn Jett's.

Trainers there are awesome and if that's not your thing there are a number of regulars who seem open to helping out newbies...just not the female type which you obviously ain't!

:pfft:
