Alas no, we don't even have a squat rack.

I really like the atmosphere there. Lots of elderly people too, where I fit in nicely.
There's another gym nearby (No Nonsense Gym) that's having some things that is lacking in my own gym:
- plate loaded leg press instead of a hack-squatlike leg press (gives knee pain at higher weights)
- glute ham raise
- a squat rack with shortish ledgers

A pity though that opening hrs are extremely limited (5-10pm, only Mo-Fri , perhaps also Sat/Sun) while mine is open from 9-10pm except for Fri night, Sat/Sun). Also the disks are in painted metal and measured in imperial pounds and I've already got a blister from paint chips and spent waaaaay too much time calculating the exact weights needed.

None of them have kettlebells.. I wonder what's the advantage of them. Changing center of gravity.

OK, got to go.. am already late for gym.
