This club is so friendly, set up for all levels of ability where everyone encourages each other to achieve there goals.
Highly recommend and very pleased that I found this club.
I decided to go to CB last summer after the facilities at my usual gym were subpar during the uni holidays, and it's my favourite gym/club I've ever been to. Although lacking slightly for accessory work, the facilities for weightlifting and powerlifting are fantastic, with ample bars and weights even when it was busy, all in excellent condition. The main weightlifting coach when I attended was James, and he was my introduction to how weightlifting coaching should be done! Attentive and supportive, he gives solid advice at the level of the understanding of the individual he's giving it to. His honesty was valued in my time I was there, helping me out of a trough with my snatches after a competition where I bombed out on them. But the thing that really makes this club are the people that go! Everyone is so friendly and supportive of each other, and I felt like I could be myself around them which is such a refreshing environment. On a couple of occasions I brought my dog with me to train, and despite him being a bit gobby, everyone was happy to see and interact with him. If you want a weightlifting club that you will make you want to go every evening, this is the place for you, I highly recommend!
