Thanks Dave!

Fantastic experience: One of the last bastions of the old school. If you're after a gym where the plates are made of iron, there's sweat, grunting and a lot of hard work, this is the gym for you. If you want to take your training to the next level and reach your full potential in bodybuilding, strength and fitness, this is the gym for you. We've seen the videos of Ronnie Coleman in the Metroflex gym and Dorian Yates in the Temple gym. This is Manchester's answer to those iconic gyms. If you crave for the old school and want to train where some of the best have, Betta Bodies is the place to be.

The gym has been visited by all the top bodybuilders and has created many of its own - if you are looking for a hard core gym where you are welcome and part of something special this is the place for you !!

Fantastic experience: Been to a couple of gyms but always big chains who never really care about their custom, not Iron Culture though. Staff always ready to help and are so approachable, there's a nice welcoming atmosphere and just an overall great place to push some iron! One of the best gyms around. Long live Iron Culture!!!
