Was wondering what the big sign was all about the other day, good that the team have on site training facilities But it's odd that the council haven't opened there own sports development on site as you'd think it was ready for it on a site that big.

Ah well, there should be no question mark's regarding fitness level's now then.

I seem to remember reading that when Leigh ? opened the gym at their stadium the players were not able to train due to the number of members of the public who were using the facility.
I hope the priorities are sorted if the players are to use it.

Just a thought will you be able to go to the gym on game days and park onsite? £5:50 to parl per game or £9:99 per month gym membership with parking??

At Total Fitness Walkden they used to put signs up when things weren't available due to Salford training I'm sure this will be the case at SCS, went for a full inside and out tour of the stadium before all I can say is wow.

To be fair our players are full time proffesionals and will probably be using the gym during the day and probably i guess only for a couple of hours max ( im not a fitness finatic so im not sure how long a "standard" gym session should last if your a proffessional rugby league player) im guessing it wont be AS busy during the day, probably busy between 6-9 working out before work then our players will probably turn up around 10am

Leigh to my knowlege are part time and will probably train at night like everyone else who works during the day will.

Coowee

Meh, I can still only speculate. The new strength and conditioning coach seemed pretty savvy in my humble estimation. Best leave them to it 'ey.

Taken from the official site, well worth it for anyone who already uses a gym and wants to be able to park on match days.

I tend to avoid gyms as I find that most injuries and harm happens in these sort of establishments.

still prefer it if they sorted some bike stands out at the stadium so can create my very own cycle/booze ride to the games

As i am a member of Fit City ( i know it doesnt show yet

) would i get to use it?

west stand i think it will be in mentions on the site is over two floors with a lift. looks decent.

yeah look good, have you seen the video of what it looks like. youtu.be/7FunlFcMnvg Somebody mentioned about parking on facebook. www.facebook.com/permalink.php?s ... 8683398922

It says that if you get 3 friends to join too, your membership (which includes parking) for £6.99 a month.

That works out to £83.88 a year.

That would be cheaper than parking at 17 games (3 friendlies, 14 home SL games) without even setting foot in the gym!

If the women handing out flyers yesterday is anything to go by then i've made a brilliant decision in joining

There are bike racks at the front of the stadium. not sure how safe they are though

probadly more secure than our tackling yesterday.

i was approached by both young ladies to join the Gym, must have spotted my potential

i've seen more potential in MR's unicycle

That was just Big Pev bending over to pick his chins up after the gym ladies chatted to him



The parking is 100% free if your a member so if anyone is savvy they can get parking and gym membership for the season for about the same cost as paying for parking at every home fixture.

If you have the proper lock then they'll be fine!

I think more ' in theory than practice

if 500 weighty salford fans all mysteriously arrive to park ' to go to the gym ' 7pm Friday evening wearing Salford Replica tops etc the ruse may be blown..


some may have to bluff it out on the terraces in their mankini's..
I think there will be an allocation of free parking available to Gym Users on game times, presumably on a [ifirst come - first served basis[/i.
I'll also guess you'll have to record your reg inside the gym ( al la DW Sports Bury ).

From memory on the original stadium plans (Council Website) it showed only a small number of car spaces for the community sports facilities. This is the 'dedicated parking on match days' they refer to for their members on the website. The Gym advertises 600 spaces based on the fact the main stadium car park can be used for overspill when there is no match being played.

It’s worth considering that this small car park may also be used on match days by (non rugby) people just using the gym or sports teams hiring either the grass or 3G sports pitches. Therefore despite being a gym member there is no guarantee members will have somewhere 'free' to park when a match is being played.

For those taking out a gym membership because of the free parking I'd suggest it's worth arriving at least 2-3 hours before kick off to improve the chances of finding a space. (This is why the gym company have been quite smart by covering themselves and saying that parking is available on a first come, first served basis)

It's also worth mentioning the Gym company have since added the following to the website:-

[iIf a member turns up and is going to a rugby match then they would be turned away on match days.[/i

but not in the mirror.

and at the Soccerdome in Wigan. been an f'in pain in the backside having twice had to play amateur matches on the field there when there's been a match at the stadium!

When you walk in the main reception with the club shop to your left the gym is going to be behind that, the staff on recption did point out that there is going to be a sports injury clinic on the opposite side of the reception if you pull something when in the gym - though thinking that might be a good thing if the team get to make use of the facility.
