Im thinking of training at Crystal Palace as sadly Hell Spawns and Genesis gym are too far away for me to commute.Im tied into a contract at my gym for another 8 months but I just cant take watching people quarter squat with wraps anymore lol plus i'd like to be around people who know what good bench and squat form is and maybe help me out if I ever decided to try a bench shirt.I just wanted to know from anyone who lifts there how much it costs to join and do they have the following equipment? any info on opening times equipment etc.etc much appreciated :)
Power Rack OR Squat Rack
Dip Station
Dumb Bells
Chin Up Bar
Lat Pulldown
45 Degree back raise
A locker ( Saves me carrying my 2 and 3 board on the bus lol)
The abbility to use chalk
Im not even going to bother asking if they have a GHR and Reverse hyper as I know thats a no no lol.
Thank's
Dobe.

See if he remembers the two man squat at the Kents Strongest Man Dave Gadd and Marvin McLatchie from my gym competed against him and Peter from Shapes Gym , Tony blacked out and left Peter holding the lot till both Peters legs snapped then the ambulence arrived and so did a long line of police squad cars ha ha never forget that day cars were being stolen left right and center and so was Sky TV's camera Reg Parker went nuts
