tentative plan to train while in Columbus

**gman** · 02-22-2010, 03:46 PM

Ed Cook's not sure about 9 am Saturday yet. It depends on his Cellucor booth duties, but hopefully he can go too.

I would like any and all masters to meet anytime from 9am on at a gym centrally located, a hardcore one if possible.

If anyone has any ideas up there, post them up and we can get a consensus.

I can't find anything when I google that even looks worth a damn

If I were to go to Columbus I would get up a half hour early and train at the ultimate badazz facility in the USA......

I have their Ts, belts, chains, whips, pulleys, etc. etc. Simmons is the ULTIMATE Heavy Duty guy IMO

i thought you had to be able to lift 1000 lbs on the 3 big lifts to even get in

I thought it's usually whips and handcuffs

Honestly until you said minds out of the gutter - I didn't go there

Thanks! Now you have my mind in the gutter! And chains are very handy..

**AnglicanBeachParty** · 02-23-2010, 08:25 AM

The gym recommended (Gold's, I think, but does not appear on the Gold's Gym website) is at:

5346 N Hamilton Rd, Columbus

word of caution when training in cbus. GM and I trained at Ballys Gym. And I ended up on the bench next to Jeannie Paparone who was quite casualy executing perfect form flys with weights very close to the numbers I was pressing.

I belong to another board and they are having workouts at night at this gym which is downtown and very close to the convention center.

Metro Fitness
9 East Long Street
Columbus OH 43215

Forgot to mention it has tons of free weight, hammer strength and db's. Upper level has cardio overlooking the gym floor. A good gym with a good atmosphere.

I vote for Metro Fitness...the Gold's is pretty far up to the northeast of downtown, and since I have to drive downtown to pick up Ed Cook, it seems logical just to stay down there and train

Metro Fitness is only a few blocks away from the action.

If I hear no big objections, let's plan on meeting there 8:30-9a on Saturday and hit it hard!
