I attended an open day at Swindon barbell back in October and signed up straight away. The atmosphere and vibe whilst... training, as well as the coaching adds an element you'd never get at a commercial gym. The membership price is a steal. Everyone is so friendly, supportive with the right amount of banter.read more
