WOW. I never thought I would see Gym21 being posted on here Kensington was a shit hole but as you state people usually just keep themselves to themselves and don't really bother the students. I remember watching a TV program and it had Kensington listed as the most deprived area in the entire UK I have been back to some parties in Kenny back in the day. After winning the capital of culture award there was a lot of redevelopment in the city centre and that influenced surrounding areas such as Toxteth and Kensington. I remember going to my ex gf's (Toxteth) years ago and you would have shit houses with really nice and brand new apartments the next street up. It's such a big student area that meant higher numbers so higher rent and nicer apartments over the years but it still has it's roots. There are loads of nice Georgian houses in the outskirts of the city centre and I would definitely like to live there myself (Sefton Park etc).
Fond memories mate.
This was back when Billy owned it. Dangerous man from what I was told but he liked me, I won a couple Powerlifting Meets during the time and he put the trophies on the front desk display with the Bodybuilding ones.
Also trained at Gym21 in Wavertree, the original where you had to go upstairs to the reception.
Back then no students even trained it was all very hardcore niche, so when I was out in town the bouncers all recognised me as the 'stoody' who trained
