Life Leisure Houldsworth Village

“Good spacious gym with lots of squat racks. Cons - opening times 8-5 on weekends? Paying £10 for gym classes surely this could be included in price?”

“Only been to gym, but it’s actually great with following equipment - 4 squat / deadlift platforms - DBs up to 60kg - 1 half decent combo rack for bench (a little low) + another standard bench - big open area with sled track + resistance bands, balls etc - quite a big array of machines over 2 areas - ridiculous amount of cardio machines + some not so common cardio machines Cons - Olympic bars are all pretty trash, there is a lot of them at least. Would be unreal if there were 1 or 2 good power bars. - random assortment of weight plates, but doesn’t actually change how heavy they are! There are number of Paralympic bench presses and a number of people who train there on them, pretty cool! Tags: powerlifting, strength training, bench press, squat rack, power bar, weightlifting.”

“Very professional staff and a nice leisure centre. First visit and was very impressed.”
