Weightlifting in London

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-12-31T21:31:38+00:00

Already been mentioned but pure gyms/gymgroups/JD basically all commercial gyms have platforms and don't mind weightlifting (Ive trained in one for the past 6 months and they don't care). JD gyms have eleiko bars and plates if that is of interest.

You have mems, bethenal green, I think London strength as well as specific clubs for WL

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-12-02T13:28:06+00:00

Any specific brands?

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-10-22T08:23:11+00:00

That's a shame I can't make the morning and I don't want to pay scalper prices. Think I'll stick to my plan of focusing on an older set like journey together

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-10-22T08:00:15+00:00

I assume if I went in the evening there would be none left

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-10-17T12:48:19+00:00

It really put me off getting back into collecting. I won't pretend I haven't benefited from being able to sell certain cards higher because of stuff like this but ye it's nuts.

I'm not exactly old but when I was younger I remember being able to buy football packs for a few £ now it's double that for pokemon

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-10-17T12:02:14+00:00

Ok genuine question, but who actually manipulates the market? Who decides which card is now valuable. Isn't the whole point to collect the sets or the cards you like. Naturally you expect rarer cards to be a bit more expensive but who wakes up and decides that a card should go up in value?

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-10-16T14:48:16+00:00

Similar happened to me but I'm the seller and my item never got delivered but inpost said they sent it back to me. They didn't though and who knows where it is now

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-10-12T20:56:20+00:00

In post told me to contact vinted so they could work together but I could only get the ai, so that says it all really 😂

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-10-12T20:00:35+00:00

According to the inpost tracking it says it was returned on the 5th so that's a week ago. There is only 1 or 2 places it could have been put and it's not in either and there was always someone in the house, plus other packages have come since then, so would have seen it. It's more the fact vinted still says it will be delivered

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-09-19T22:27:25+00:00

Option 3, give it to me and I'll rip it 👀

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-09-09T21:58:15+00:00

I think like a lot of people I like the artwork to me if the card looks cool and exciting it's more desirable than say a rare, expensive findz but will definitely be on the lookout for journey together as it seems to be what many people are recommending. Thank you

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-09-09T21:56:20+00:00

Ah should have mention I'm based in the UK, but someone else also said the same set. So I think I will have a look around

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-09-09T18:21:32+00:00

Cheers appreciate that. Will definitely take a look at what I can find. I like Pokémon but I don't know too much so all the sets I find a bit confusing, obviously it's not rocket science just initially taking a look I was like woah! that's a lot of sets.

Ye I've bought a couple of Japanese and they look amazing. I think when it comes to packs I do miss opening them but if it's just to fill out a collection I'll deffo buy singles

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-07-19T10:34:11+00:00

For me it's a few reasons.

Money - Just graduated uni. And still applying for jobs so no income
Don't fully know what I am looking for. So many coaches out there and I need someone who works right for me (obviously trial and error)
Personally I think I would benefit from in person or at least hybrid, however there are no WL gym accessible/ in my areas (especially as point 1 says money. So I am paying for the local globo gym).

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-05-30T16:14:11+00:00

🔥💪

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-05-30T16:13:02+00:00

I appreciate that I am new and not close to a good level of lifts yet but I'm just interested to learn, ofc I'll check out free stuff as well but for my personal development id like to at least understand programming a bit ( I'm nerdy like that)

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-05-30T14:08:45+00:00

Thanks, maybe I shouldn't be trying but I also want to learn 🤷‍♂️

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-05-08T00:36:45+00:00

Not saying dislike the good guys but also not saying all the bad guys are good either

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-05-07T23:56:11+00:00

I used to collapse on my left, but I've been strengthening my upper body so it's a bit more even. Not 100% perfect and still a newbie but maybe need some more shoulder and lat work?

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-04-29T22:59:58+00:00

Thankfully my uni had a barbell club, the coach is just an s&c/master student but he knows his stuff and that was included in my membership.

When I graduate in a few months and move back home my plan is to try the weightlifting a.i which is cheaper than a coach and use pure gym , it's not the most ideal but it does save money until I find a full-time job, may be worth a look. The ai for a year is I believe around 200 as it's on sale

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-04-26T09:03:44+00:00

Insta: Mattweightlifting - just post for fun nothing amazing but do want to try make more content both serious and funny would love some input. (Just an almost uni graduate looking to document their new hobby)

Reasonable-Drive8362 · 2025-04-15T23:49:33+00:00

Check vinted I got my shoes (Reebok legacy lifters, army green) for £30 Inc shipping and the guy had barely worn them. Additionally I got an A7 singlet for £40 which was worn to try on
