Title	Storage unit gym?
Author	glasgowburner
Body	Hey, So before covid I was progressing pretty nicely with lifting and some weight work in the gym. I was using a personal trainer and it was handy because the gym was next to the office in town. Covid hit, PT moved online which didn't really suite me, so we parted ways. Couldn't buy any gym equipment due to the shortage of weights/racks/benches last year. Ended up waiting for gyms to go back and then started going at stupidly early times in the morning just so it would be quiet. The gym then changed its hours so they weren't 24/7 anymore and the times they were open was mega busy even with limited capacity. I did try the new JD gym in south side once and again it was packed. No chance at all of getting near a squat rack or bench unless you went at the end of the day just before closing and had staff hoovering around you to get you to leave. Now I'm looking to get back into it again, and I'm not adverse to spending money to make my own private gym area. Does anyone know of any storage units in glasgow/south side that would allow a squat rack/bench and for me to work out in it once a day? I really do not have space at home as our spare room is an office. If not, anyone know of any quieter/less known gyms to try? I know they will all pretty much be packed as soon as they re open, but I've had enough of cardio/running/workouts in the park and really need to get back into the weights.

Hey,

So before covid I was progressing pretty nicely with lifting and some weight work in the gym. I was using a personal trainer and it was handy because the gym was next to the office in town.
