After recently deciding to move gyms, I began my search for a more hardcore gym, as opposed to the fitness orientated ones further into Birmingham. My search took me to Narnas in Bartley Green, a boxing gym. Despite only being a small establishment, Narnas still has the necessary equipment that most gyms have. A big plus point for the gym is the plate system, allowing you to pile plates on to the apparatus rather than having a fixed weight built into the machine. A very old fashioned gym, it does attract some serious lifters, but that should not deter you, although maybe this particular establishment might suit those who like to shift some serious weight. At either £4 per visit, £9 a week or a standard £20 monthly payment, It is also cheaper than other gyms nearby.
