Ive been posting on this site a while although been busy of late with other things.
Theres alot of FF memerbs on here and like it or hate it FF is a huge franchise you cant't ignore. Do u reckon we could have a thread/sticky/sub forum dedicated to FF members?

whats your thoughts?
which FF u train at?
b!tch about the FF guys with cracking physiques here from your local club!
also xchange info on which FF clubs to go with fit girls and which ones to avoid

[lets see where this leads...]

I go to the one in Romford, Essex

Fear = False Evidence Appearing Real

Fitness firsts are awful! I actually like having more than 20kg dumbells in a gym. Ive been to about 6 and they have all been shoe boxes.

Bench - 140kg
Squat - 180kg
Deadlift - 190kg

No we couldn't..... otherwise everyone would want one on something or other

And any thread that becomes deragatory towards others (male or female) will not last long

Worst idea for a thread ever..

you've been in 6 bad ones then, mine is big (FF in gorton, manchester)
mine has DB's up to 50kg and the only kit they are missing is a 45 deg leg press... they only have a hammer strength leg press and another 2 life fitness ones which just isn't as good
squat rack, bench, dec bench, about 6 adjustable benches, x2 sets of DB's, chest supported row, low row, lat pulldowns, ivanko oly bars and pretty much every resistance machine you can think of life fitness and technogym upstairs
they have a boxing ring and some bags and a half decent boxing coach who's worked with some decent level people
free drinks
free fruit
free DVD rental
spin room
endless cardio kit
aerobics studio where they teach martial arts by a decent instructer who actually is bang into his weights
dry sauna
steam room
hot showers
clean changing rooms with hot showers
mine has a fair few accomplished athletes train there, an IFBB Pro sometimes, a Mr Universe, couple of power lifters, an olympic skier etc

it's not perfect but at the end of they day it's better than most hardcore gyms in manchester
not much more you could ask for @ £20 a month... apart from a 45 deg leg press and a seated calf raise would be nice

A muscle that's weak in isolation will be weak in integration.

Difference between London and Manchester! Round this way they are an expensive joke.

200kg Deadlift

Pathetic thread...

Pathetic thread...

whats wrong with it (apart from the fit girls bit)?
we already know that the london FF are not too hot and Gorton and Chelmsford are at least OK
I think some people looking for a gym might find it useful, FF are a big chain pretty much everywhere would be good to see what people think of there own branch.

I think it should be a gym thread rather than fitness first. Where members list decent gyms where they live.

Aintree, Liverpool is massive and a very good gym only problem is its always boiling in there massive air con system just doesnt feel like its on apart from that top notch!

Greedy for muscularity

AK - think you will find that they only go up to 50kg! although I certainly do not see many lifting anywhere near that weight. Either way as you mention there is a vast offer at the Chelmsford and Basildon FF. I certainly have no issues with them as they clearly reach and satify a huge demand. Even the one is Southend is not to bad although the other two mentioned are better.

None of yas can bitch till you have tried the quality sh!t La Fitness treat ya with, and treat you as lol.

The FF I go to only has dumbells up to 46kg, so stopped doing db rows! The free weights area is pretty small but I don't go in peak times so its not a problem.

We don't get free fruit though! Only coffee and pop.

They have free protein bar/drink samples out quite a bit so thats pretty good.

Also I got a free bad the other day because my mate asked how much they were and the bloke said he can have one so I got one as well!

in norwich they have pretty much everything and a good free weights area

was gonna say the one on norwich was pretty good except they got rid of jacuzzi :(
leeds ff is pretty good as well some bloody big blokes in there and the Krav Maga Classes over there during the summer are brill ;)

FF in Aus is pretty good -pay about 17quid a month-locations are spot on-one near home and one near work-all the equipment I need-DB's go up to 150lb-and the view is pretty good

A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

Used to go to FF in Poole, Dorset - actually was a very well equipped club, plenty of free weights and DB's up to 50kg.

Was full of egos and didn't like the fact when they used to have to repair the floor around the free weights area they would close the area off rather than just repair it when the gym was closed so not to interrupt people who had come down to train

i laugh @ your FF tread!

all you ppl staying on your crappy running machines with your fancy iPods and brand new trainers while the tiny blokes struggle with their girly weights while wearing matching wrist and head sweat bands trying to look good in the small chance of getting noticed by the female counter parts.
