Gyms in PrestonI know that UCLAN has its own gym in Foster and there are plans to extend this but that wont be ready until December 2010 last time i heard.... Basically I need a gym with free weights, anything else is a bonus. Anyone any ideas?

Re: Gyms in PrestonThe one before Aldi looked closed last time I went past, and there was a for sale (or to let) sign outside it. Not sure if it is still open.(Original post by carldalton0)
But you gotta pay a gym induction, which is £10, but its stil a really good deal,
theres also a total fitness near the docks, or a local one before aldi (practically on campus)
The £15 offer at Fulwood is only during the day. If you want to go in peak times its £15 a month (I think - Im not a gym person
!)

Sounds quite good. For your £15 (plus £10.00 one off induction fee) you get to use both Fulwood and West View.
Times are limited mid-week but you can use both centres all day over the weekend. -

Re: Gyms in PrestonThere is a Virgin Active up at Capitol Centre, that's a bit of a trek though. Within walking distance there is a large gym (can't remember the name, but it is a big one) just by the flyover in front the of the Lidl.(Original post by Powka)
Does anyone know of gyms on campus, or just nearby? Cause West View and Fullwood seems quite far away... -

Re: Gyms in PrestonDoes anyone know the prices for Virgin Active gym in Capitol Centre? Their website doesn't tell anything, and they don't even give a contact email to ask about it. They offer only to book a club visit, but if it's going to be too expensive for me, why would I even bother going there? Some smart thinking their are doing there, huh?.. So, does anyone know how much does it cost?
And how far away is it from campus, is it like a walking distance?
And also, what about Ironman BodyBuilding Centre? Has anyone been to that one?
Cheers guys!Last edited by Powka; 17-12-2009 at 01:17.
