Do most use warwick gym or fitness first? - weight lifters

Im not talking about people who go run on the treadmill, or people who visit occasionally, I mean people from uni quite serious about weight training - go regularly, eat well.

is the preferred choice warwick gym or fitness first for these people.

The warwick gym is pretty good. Weight lifting room has 2 squat racks, 2 benches (+ smith machine) and space to deadlift. Has 5 or 6 barbells. Has a free weights room also with 5 benches, and dbs from 15kg to 65kg. Beasts somewhat frequent.

definatly for first year on campus I believe the gym is far cheaper and more convienient, yooud go for that...
I think most first years into that sort of thing use the warwick gym. Has a good selection of weights, expect somoene else could go into more detail.

I use the fitness suite most days, but not weights.

thanks for the replies. from the description, sounds like the warwick gym is pretty well equipped, im guessing it will be good to train with students of similar ages compared to at a private gym. how busy is the gym/weights?

also would i be able to pm any of you, about accomodation, to get a 1st hand view. thankssssss!

4-6 is packed. However if you actually want to weight train it should be fine. I can pretty much get a squat rack every single time I've been in there with no waiting. The db room is a no go area during peak times though. Oh and of course, the benches will always be in use at peak. It opens at 7.15 and closes at 2130.

It gets busy, but if you chose to go when you know it'll be quiet then its fine. Plenty of equipment, and other people to spot for you.

well with only £90 a year, you can get membership for both the fitness suite and the gym which i highly recommend getting. Ive been gyming seriously lately and i feel that you'll be needing equipements in both areas.. for beginners, the weights in the dumbell room are a little too heavy to start with (15kg+) and the fitness suite has weights below 10kgs which is good.
