Classic Rock Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Free weights? What do you mean? Free to take away? Free as in not attached to a machine? Sorry, not sure of the definition here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombodojoj Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 yes, it is your dumbells and barbells where you can change the weight at either end usually with discs of steel or plastic filled with sand. i have heard virgin fitness centre has got over 200 free weights so that would be good, but you have jamies gym down next to bramall lane where the power lifters go (he was an olympic champion) so it depends what youd be wanting to do.

evildrneil Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I used Virgin for a while but to be honest wasn't that impressed witht he set up - I now use the university gym which is good for free weight (and convenient to me!) Apparently the gym at Don Valley is an bit of a spit and sawdust gym with many free weights so it may be worth a look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Concorde has plenty of free weights and machines, plus treadmills, bikes etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I go to Greens, just round the corner from the pub (and no, I don't drive there!) and they have lots of free weights. I do the Body Max class which is essentially exercise using 'free weights' to music. Plenty of them in the gym room too. Expensive membership though......

Lestat Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Whats the best Gym to join in Sheffield? The last time i joined i only went about 5 times and then just never went again!! not because i didn't like it, i just didn't get the time - so it was a nice waste of money. Im thinking of starting up again to lose weight but need one that will actually make me want to keep going. I read in the Star that Hillsborough Leisure Centre Gym won the 2004 award for best gym, so might nip down and see it. Anyone got any views?

MuteWitness Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 am also wanting to join a gym used to be a member but cost far to much and could afford it then, how much are they now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Hillsborough leisure centre is part of fitness unlimited. So £25/month and you can use the gym there and at Ponds forge and all the other facilities (swimming, sauna, etc...) and you get a discount on court hire for things like badminton/squash.
