It is a great gym, tom is a nice bloke and went through a lot of crap to get his gym approved. Loads of equipment and very cheap to be a member. He does a rolling month contract as well, which helps people
Tom:

Why on earth would you want to look like that? :confused:

I understand he's like that for competitions but it looks disgusting imo.

Each to their own, right?

That's not too bad at all. Did you see the internal deal for council leisure centers, I think it's about £25 a month. Not a patch on esporta though.

Will have to pop down to esporta and see what sort of deal they can do me

I hated Esporta, been a member of there twice, both for 12 months a time, regretted with both times. It's a pathetic attempt at a community centre and concentrates far to much on terrible entertainment and faux luxury and not enough on being a decent gym.

To a certain extent

. I'd say the vast majority of people don't find that kind of physique aesthetically pleasing.

It's not a gym though. If you want a gym, go to a proper gym. Esporta do not trade on being a gym

What's that got to do with 'each to their own'?

My mistake, the thread title being " Gyms in Bristol " and the OP asking "i'm looking for a new gym to goto." made me think for a second he was asking based on the gym side of things

The gym in the stoke Gifford one looks ok tbh, is it that bad?

TommyV · 22 Sep 2010 at 13:41

Theres a gym in stoke gifford? (other than esporta?)

Used to go the the bradley stoke liesure centre gym for a year or so, it was horribly packed, all the damn time, I left for that sole reason and haven't looked back since, cost me £25 a month or so and allowed access to any of the council owned gyms locally (thornbury/horfield/bradley stoke/yate, don't know of any others)

I wouldnt want to use the pool in the Stoke Gifford Esporta, according to their website it's on 25mm in length!

Morba · 22 Sep 2010 at 14:30

Tommy, nah just the council one.

25mm pool! I could do silly amount of lengths with just 1 toe!! Lol
