are there any serious bodybuilding gyms in central london? Far too many serious gyms have turned into 'spas' aimed at people looking to prance around on an elliptical machine or go to a pilates class.

Not only that, but the members are now obviously different and the vibe that used to be there is gone. But most gyms are becoming like this. Are there any serious bodybuilding gyms left?

Is this at all true, or is it a lie?
Is it good to dine on a protein shake when bodybuilding? I like to work out in the evenings, before dinner, and I noticed that I am not hungry for several hours after that.

Thanks
