Thread: World Gym opening in Adelaide S.A:

For all you Adelaide member's, look out for a World Gym set to open in April 2010.

Nick Jones, top Australian bodybuilder, will be taking on the mission to make that gym the best in South Australia with state of the art machinery and equipment.

All the best to Nick Jones and another World Gym, Australia opening.

Great News!!! If it's set to open in April the location must be already designated and underway... I wonder where it will be???

AH HA!!!

Quick bit of research and it looks like it will be at the current "City Gym" site. City Gym has a colourful history and appealed to a niche market (not that that there's anything wrong with that ). If it ever intended competing with todays franchises it desperately needed an infrastructure upgrade in terms of the exisiting facility and old equipment!

Most importantly, according to whereis.com, it is only 2.1km or 4 mins from my office!!! WOO HOO!!!

CORRECTION & APOLOGY: Seems as if I was given some mis-information regarding the new WORLD GYM in Adelaide. It is NOT taking over the existing "City Gym" BUT rather it's going to be right next door (Adelaidians will know "Rise", a nightclub - until bikies shot the place up, thats where it'll be).

I will have to check this out.

I'm getting sick of my gym which I only choose because its 5 minute walk from my house. I'm not fussed that it lacks any decent machines, but the squat rack being on a slant really peeves me off.

word on the street this gym will be pretty good. a guy that trains at my gym works at a sup store and nick jones was in there the other day, and by all accounts this gym will be epic

sounds good. being south of the city though is a bit far for me.

vas, whats the general word about the jetts 24/7 gyms at hallet cove and morphett vale?

I popped into one of the Jetts just to check it out and I personally wouldn't join. The dumbells only went to 40kg, there was no power rack and I couldn't find a barbell anywhere, so doesn't really suit my purpose. But if I just wanted to use a few machine weights and the ability to do cardio (treadmill, eliptical, rower, cycles all there) at anytime of the day or night I'd consider it for sure. cummo, if you are southside have you tried Southbound? Southbound Fitness - Leaders in Fitness, Health & Nutrition for fast Results it has a pretty good set up and it's run by bodybuilders too...

Just a quick FYI for our SA SM'ers; I caught up with the guys opening the Adelaide World Gym last week. They showed me the floor plan and all the equipment they got coming and I was sold! I signed up for a Foundation Membership on the spot - can't wait to get in there (opening due late April / early May at this stage).

LifeFitness ProSeries 2
LifeFitness Optima Circuit
Hammer Strength Plate Loaded
Hammer Strength MTS
Extensive IVANKO Free Weights Range
Cybex
Maxim Strength

They have been at the Clipsal all weekend signing people up. Where are they opening VAS ?
Thanks

It is at the old Rise Nightclub venue which is 69 Light Sq in the City.

Will have to venture from my gym and have a look and see what the goods will be.

From what you have said though VAS it does sound pretty bloody good though.

So who is joining this?

I signed up today. I'm trying to grab some friends to join me, simply because they said they would give me free membership if I signed 4 people up (I was going to spread divide the discount to each person)

BTW, i had info about the layout equipment before, but seem to have lost it. Anyone got info they could post?

We might have a nice little SM community going on down there... latest estimated opening date is early May. I dropped into the site for work reasons yesterday and there is still heeeaaaapppppssss to get done!

I will have a look out for you. They are limiting memberships supposedly to 500 people. So hopefully its not too crowded. I will not be impressed if I changed gyms, only to have to wait ages for a squat rack

Yeah the salesperson I spoke to today indicated it will probably be mid-may. I'm not too fussed - i'm still currently in a membership.
