Finsbury Park Athletics Track and Gym

Set in the heart of Finsbury Park, the track and gym is a fantastic resource for kids, athletes and the aged.
The track encircles the London Blitz American Football pitch and is of a reasonable standard. What I like about the track is that alongside the young athletes, I have witnessed several men aged 60+, putting themselves through their paces. It is the same with the gym. old and young alike working their bodies as hard as they can. The facility of changing rooms, gym and showers are grotty in a Rocky Balboa kind of way, but at £3.30 for an adult and £1.65 concession, I won’t complain to much. The gym is spacious but many of the machines do not have pins. The ones that do are connected so you cannot move them around the floor. There are no clips to keep weights on the bars either, so when you lift the bar, you have to hope your left and right sides are equally strong or the weights will slip right off.
A big plus with the gym is that you do not need an induction. So if you are in the area and fancy a quick workout on the cheap, maybe this is your answer. I will warn you again though, do not expect any frills, as there are none.
