The Gym
The gym here at St Paul’s is a real spit and sawdust affair. Most of the equipment is second hand and has been donated by supporters and, if it’s new, has been purchased with donations from local businesses. The equipment does get a hammering though and wears out so any help is gratefully received. Here’s what some of the people who train here say about the place… I remember the first day I walked through the door. It’s etched into my memory. The smell of old, dried sweat filled my nose. I can’t say it was pleasant at first but the place just had something about it. You come to love that smell… My wife had bought me two hours of personal training with Neil Munn for Christmas. Now I had trained (sorry, thought I had trained) at other gyms but nothing prepared me for Penarth ABC. I’ve been training here ever since. The gym is truly inspiring… it has something special.
