Is there a strong bodybuilding community in the UK?

If so, where? And, is it equally popular for men and women?

I love how this thread is being downvoted by lazy cowards who think this isn't worthy of discussion just because they never leave the house.  Sorry they've ruined your thread OP. To answer your question - there's plenty of competitions at various levels, right up to Mr Olympia. Loads of decent bodybuilding gyms around. Equally popular with women now too. Indeed a disturbing amount of women are doing the kinds of steroid cycles men used to do. Don't get it myself, but to each their own.

Thank you for answering in a sincere manner. I was genuinely curious if it had the same momentum as some other countries so I appreciate your response!

Generally speaking no, it’s never been a ‘community’, I did it for best part of a decade then took up CrossFit, bigger community in CrossFit but I never saw one bodybuilding outside of my immediate gym mates. Full of egos and sensitive boys hooked up on too much tackle.

Where? Pretty much everywhere. There’s bodybuilding gyms all over the country, but they tend to be privately owned and don’t advertise. Usually pretty cheap and have insane equipment though.

I'd imagine pretty much all of them are strong

Not as strong as the powerlifters.
