I know its about time i got my ass to the gym 3 times a week and start lifting properly. But the problem is i cant find a suitable gym.. this might sound stupid to all you who live in urban areas, but i live in a small town in wales and yes there are gyms close to me, but after looking at their websites, none of them seem to have a power rack! I want to start the stronglifts 5x5 program but all the gyms which aren't over an hour drive away are these stupid commercial gyms filled with cardio machines and TV's and i don't care about that shit. All i want is a gym with a power rack (seems to be rare in gyms or is it just me?) which allows me to join without following some stupid program which they dictate. I would just make my own home gym but i haven't got the space or the money for that shit. Wondering if anyone can give my pointers on how they found their gym? considering i live in the middle of no where, is it better to go a martial arts club (or boxing prehaps?) in order to find suitable free weights? I know i need to do this shit but the last thing i want to do is waste my time and effort
