Best Gym In Stafford?

[Danjay]

I'm looking at joining a gym in Stafford. I used to go to I-Motion in the Guildhall before covid struck, but haven't been since it was rebranded to Element (also parking in the Guildhall and having to get it validated every time was a pain). I've been looking into Element, PureGym, and Gym and Tonic (Looking at the photos online I'm worried the latter one might involve queuing for equipment as it's quite small?), and will mostly be going in the evenings after work. Do you have any recommendations?

I used pure for a bit pre-covid, never had to queue for machines. Realised I hate gyms though, so will stick with outside!

Many of my friends, when they were the gym going types, favoured either Foundry (when it was LS fitness) https://www.foundry-gym.co.uk/our-gyms/foundry-gym-stafford-west-midlands or the one at Beaconside (https://newbeaconsport.com/)

The Leisure Centre gym is decent. It is not the cheapest in town (£38 per month) however, there is plenty of equipment & it is never that busy. You can also use the pool in with the monthly cost.

There appears to be a new gym on the scene -

Beyond that, I know nothing. My interactions with gymnasia ceased in 1974, when those weird blokes in the tight shorts stopped having any authority over me.

Maybe someone on here has had some experience of this place?

I know the owners well and believe this will be an exceptionally well managed gym with the focus on an holistic approach with staff dedicated to their members. I’m looking forward to seeing it open having watched its development since way before covid hit. Lots of good planning and quality products have gone into this and I really wish them the greatest success.

Where is Fuse going?

Where is Fuse going?

I eventually found an address on the website, which Google Maps says is the Co-op on Silkmore Lane, so I presume it is near there - there are various options, but I probably haven't been along there for two years....

It is in the same building, the Co-op is slightly smaller now.

I remember this being discussed on the forum a while back...

Right - I didn't go back far enough...

Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

Was there no clock outside Peter Rogers in those days? The clock is much more recent than that, despite our "memories" of it being there for ever. I think it's this century, I did ask in the shop one day, but I can't remember the specific answer. It may have been a 'millennium thing'. Edit -...

Gyms are not my specialist subject...

So do I, I had a weird recollection it was going into an empty unit by the Odeon cinema but not sure why.

Hope it 'works out' for them

Fuse opens tomorrow.

As an alternative to a treadmill or bike then great, but what about weights and gym equipment?

I've always found it a little deer when I've gone to the Chase.

Chase gym is good enough, I've been there a couple of times, they have enough equipment, so you'll be able to have all your muscles trained well
