    Hi,

    Just accepted a place at Trinity and wondering what the gym is like there? I'm guessing from the pictures it's pretty new? Also, does it get very busy?

    Thanks.

    If you're interested in listening to Beyonce whilst doing your 20 minutes on the ski machine to firm up those thighs, it's great.

    If you want to do some serious training, prepare to be frustrated -- gym rats and ponces hogging equipment everywhere.

    Its grand, has pretty much all you need.

    I'm in three times a week for 2 hour sessions.


    I'm probably one of the douches hogging a bench or some weights, but have never had a single probllem sharing the equipment when approached by someone. No one Iv asked to share equipment with has ever either so person who said that should maybe just ask to share a bench or whatever iot is.

    No matter how big the gym is there are always gonna be times where all the equipment is being used. After all there is close to 20,000 memebers of the gym...

    The gy does get busy in teh mornings before college, around lunch time and after 5ish.
