So the plan is wreck RevFit 2.0 then hospitalise ourselves with alcohol?

Yep - I'm in

amazingemmet · 13-08-2013 5:43pm

I vote we play PR or ER in Rev. Either you hit a PR or you do a shot repeat til you can no longer PR

Inspector Coptoor · 13-08-2013 6:04pm

Sounds good

Excellent!

Seems like a lot of people are up for a boards beers and are liking the idea of Revfit 2 as the meeting place.

I'll chat to Hanley and find out when Revfit2 will be up and running and we'll be able to talk about dates...Im guessing it'll be towards the end of Sept.

Hanley · 13-08-2013 8:42pm

So what was it... beer pong, barbell jousting, PR or ER.... did I miss anything?

Inspector Coptoor · 13-08-2013 9:41pm

What about it?

Also there's several Foundry gyms in london. Most of them are BB gyms. One is an ok Powerlifting gym.

Sangre · 14-08-2013 12:29pm

Moving to London and will be working in the City. Just looking for a decent gym in the RAW mould if possible.

The one I was looking at was on Artillery Passage in the City.

Foundry in artillery passage is a PT gym. I reccommend gymbox at bank as agood gym. Bit up market in decor compared to raw but they've got some of the best equipment in the city

What a day, 6 bus journeys, a job interview and a ton of deadlifts.

And if they get enough pats on the back then free cupcakes for all (yes this is real life)

Zombienosh · 16-08-2013 2:33pm

So after doing only Goblet squats and Trapbar deadlifts before trying to use a Real bar is a humbling experience but it'll be a rewarding one.

Jarren · 16-08-2013 2:43pm

How about a bit different planet :P

JJayoo · 16-08-2013 7:25pm

But in all seriousness at 10 euro per month and with free pizza/cupcakes Planet Fitness gyms have to be the best.

At that price if you made really good use of that free pizza night every month it would probably work out cheaper pound for pound than most pizza places.

So if you think about it, you're basically getting a gym membership for free.

RidleyRider · 17-08-2013 12:21pm

Anyone got any experience in ordering Shamrock gym? Ordered it 2 and a half weeks ago and still hasn't arrived. Hardly a gimmick is it?

amazingemmet · 20-08-2013 6:52pm

Have you been brainfu*ked today? No? Well try this. Let the record state I got to 5 mins 3seconds. Anyone who can finish the whole thing wins signature bragging rights. And its fitness related, in fact I think for Hanley to move rev forward he should start going in this direction. any way with out much further ado.

To be fair, dude clearly achieved a good physique. Shame he knew it.

Thanks for that. Had any experience with Fitness First chain? Will be one in my apartment block and work will get me preferential rates. Unlikely to be exactly gym I'm looking for but convenience factor may win out.

Fitness first are cheap but can be lacking in facilities. Its 50/50 if they'll have a squat rack.

amazingemmet · 21-08-2013 5:07pm

The cure for exercise is at hand. No more shall you be shackled to the barbell.
