What gyms have olympic barbells

I am going to go to start going to the gym and i am going to do stronglifts and i was wondering which gyms have oylmpic barbells.

Almost all of them. You just need to make sure there's a squat rack and a place to bench, the plates are round, and they have plates from 1.25kg to 20kg.
Agreed pretty much every gym, but I would advise you look for a local lifters gym rather than a commercial gym if there is one that's nearby.

I mainly train at work but there is an old school weight lifting gym round the corner from my house. It's just a concrete room with heavy stuff in it. A few racks and a few benches, no middle aged woman walking on a treadmill reading heat magazine or skinny guys in bench joggers staring at themselves in the mirror. Much better :biggrin:

Nick the barbell off the bench crew, if there isn't a barbell in there to deadlift.

Get kicked out the gym for bending the barbell crew.

Have a look around a few gyms before you sign up. Most commercial gyms will be alright especially if they've got a larger floor size, just make sure there's a power / squat rack, bench and a good range of machines, cables etc.
