that looks like a sweet place, sounds just like the gym I train at, except mine doesn't have the spray paint on the walls

hey thanks for PMing me the link... its a bit of a hike from Elmhurst so not a daily thing but for a $6 day fee, ya I can find a day off to head out that way!

My new found friend at the gym (he is in his 60's I think) use to be a power lifter back in his day and mentioned this same gym to me about a week or so ago...he used to train there...

Best gym in the South East bar none is Coffee's Gym. Has everything for the PL, Oly Lifter, and Strongman.

Not to mention ya got Gold Medalist Olympic Weight lifters who come in from time to time, some great PL there on a daily basis like Curtis Leslie, and quite a few Strongmen as well.

Next time anyone is down near GA check John out. You won't be dissapointed.

Actually it's a private gym believe it or not considering he just reopened this one for his athletes but yeah women lift in there.

I'm assuming you know little to nothing about John Coffee with that last statement.

What BrotherIron is trying to say is that John Coffee actually PREFERS to have female lifters. He loves having the girls around.

He actually cares very little for the guys on the team regardless of their potential.

He absolutely LOVES the women lifters like SS said. Sweet talk him and he'll show you TONS of attention.

He just doesn't give a sh^t for his male lifters no matter how good they are. Hell, one of our male lifters is going to the next Olympics. It's a done deal but John could care less. John's letting him leave and go train with the Bulgarian's Olympic Weightlifting Coach.

i find the sport extremely interesting and like a sponge love sucking up knowledge about various ways to train and take myself to new levels... had I stayed on the east coast I would probably be more into power lifting than BBing... my trainer at the time, who I adored, was very into the sport, kept trying to get me to join his power lifting team....

Some coaches/trainers make great mentors. I know John has had a very big influence in my life and I love him dearly. I am very grateful that he has taken me under his wing and made a great lifter out of me.

If you are ever on the East coast, drop a girl a line and we can hit the joint together for a day. It'll be a great experience, I promise you.
