Temple Gym is sacred ground. This is the Birmingham basement where Dorian Yates forged six Mr Olympia titles, and it remains a no-frills, heavy-iron dungeon that lifters fly in to train at. Facilities are deliberately old-school and the atmosphere is pure focus. If you want spa towels, look elsewhere; if you want bodybuilding history and an honest, brutal training environment for around £20 a month, there's nowhere quite like it.
Heavy, old-school free weights and machines in a no-frills basement built purely for serious training.
A legendary hardcore dungeon, focused and intense, and a genuine pilgrimage site for bodybuilders worldwide.
Founded in 1987 by six-time Mr Olympia Dorian Yates, the gym that built his physique.
Address: 19 Kenyon Street, Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham B18 6AR
