Melbourne CBD Gym 2007 27-Nov-2006 At 8:12:42 PM brodie

Yes, it feels like two years ago we advised you that there was a gym opening in CBD. There have been many hurdles to over come in the past few years, but I can tell you that if you stand on the corner of Swanston and Franklin street-East side( city baths) you can see the crew working away putting up the structures.

We estimate, yes estimate that February / March - definately no later than March-you will be climbing at the new location- lots to do and then there are the hoildays that MUST be taken when workng on a site that is in the middle of the city.Dont forget that there are Xmas hoildays when no one can work on sites.

Again Radwall is doing the construction and the walls will be textured like at Nunawading. Lead only pinicale around 20 plus mtrs and lots more. Showers for those early morning people, lots of cafes on the ground floor for those that need food and coffee.
Parking is not a problem, no differnt than walking down the court to Hardrock @nunawading. 2 and 4 hour parking untill 6pm across the road and then unlimited. Lots of bike stands for those that live close to the CBD. Tram stop out the front, Longer opening hours- looks like 8am- 11pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 8pm Sat and Sunday.

Will keep you updated- might even have some pix of the progress.
