The
Forest Gym
The Gym was established in 1970 by Ron Ball and Pete
Vickery — the latter a successful competitor in Cycling,
Bodybuilding and Power Lifting, with a string of trophies
to his name. Harold Marillier has been Manager for seven
years and has really built up the reputation of the Gym
via his own and Karen Marillier’s contest results. In
addition, he has encouraged and given help and guidance to
a string of successful competitors from the Gym in both
Bodybuilding and Power Lifting. We now have more and more
competition bodybuilders visiting the gym and travelling
200 miles or more for guidance on diet and contest
preparation. The Forest Gym has been providing a service
for Bodybuilders and Power Lifters in the Crawley area
since our founding year and we intend to continue our
efforts to improve the facilities available at the right
price.

Muscleworks Gym
2 Hague Street
Bethnal Green
London E2 6HN
Muscleworks was established in 1989. They have helped
ordinary trainers, amateur and professional athletes
achieve their goals in either attaining a title in their
chosen sport or just gaining or losing weight. Muscleworks
is the complete anathema of most London gyms –
bodybuilders are not shunned, members drop their weights,
dumbbells don’t always get put away (not good, but we can
deal with that), heaven forbid but people even sweat at
Muscleworks.
