Strongman Event Training Gyms / Set-ups 21 February 2010 12:28 (permalink)
We get quite a few queries on MT from people wanting to event train for strongman looking for a suitable venue in their region.

Let's use this topic for people to post where they train or provide information on suitable gyms or set-ups.  Please note if it's part of a gym, or a private set up, how people can join, what sort of equipment, location, costs, etc.

                The travel down to Kent wouldn't be too bad for you! 

                I think Genesis in wembley has a few strongman bits which might be fairly close!

                                  I go into Body Active in Sawbridgeworth near Stansted on the Essex/HErts border, The owener is a competitive strongman and they've got a few bits in there.
