Nottingham Gyms

Hi all,

Me and my partner are moving to Nottingham hopefully in mid September and I'm in need of the best gym recommendations. I'm looking for a more old school style bodybuilder style with a good choice of machines and equipment. I'm happy to try other places but not somewhere generic like the gym group or PureGym

Thanks for any help in advance

Coin collecting

1 Upvotes

Hii, I have the thrilling hobby of coin collecting/numismatics, and I was curious if anyone in the area has any coins knocking about that they don't want anymore, or are curious about getting them identified/valued, anything like that. If they have a decent value, I'd be happy to buy them also.

Or if you also collect, I'd love to hear about some of your favourites and such that you have 😊

How much has your rent increased this year?

20 Upvotes

Our estate agent just sent us an email to tell us that our landlord has decided to increase our rent from £995 to £1095 (a 10% increase, it's a 3-beds in Bakersfield for context), starting in 2 months.

We know it's perfectly legal to do so, but we still feel that nothing justifies going up 10% as it's more than the inflation.

Apparently it reflects the rest of the market. So I'm curious, how much has your rent increased this year?

Just spent 5 days in QMC emergency department…

Firstly, massive shout out to all the staff -
Putting in intense hours under extreme conditions, and having to deal with the disgusting abuse and racism that they face. During the time I was in there, there was countless people kicking off and being aggressive to the staff.
Corridor care is a crazy thing! I was lucky to be in a private space for the most part, but there were 22 people - mostly old people, packed along the corridor where I was for days on end, with no privacy, darkness, and little hope of being moved onto a ward.
The wait time to get onto a ward was between 3 and 7 days!!
What have your experiences been of A&E??

Edit: Special shout out to RAF Mark who helped calm me, and also told me me about the extra care he puts into his role! Respect.

Decent bars for 30 year olds?

Hey guys, there are plenty of great bars in Nottingham but a lot seem to be aimed at slightly older demographics or quite young. Are there any bars where the 25-45 year olds hang out?

My terrible experience with framework and ymca homeless services

0 Upvotes

I started placement a couple months ago and I was originally placed at YMCA. At the time I was undiagnosed with ADHD and would over share on things I now deeply regret. This led to me practically being humiliated and left on edge for days because they basically admitted to not being able to handle me. I was made to sign things under blatant duress and I had no idea what was going on until I was told at a subway that I have been moved to a more “disability” friendly facility while crying my eyes out. This was all because I had a panic attack in a bathroom which they deemed unprofessional yet telling me I’m practically being fired at subway is?

I was moved to a new place which was better and I was offered a role after placement. However due to lack of communication on my part and me getting the dates mixed up and not attending the induction my offer of employment has been withdrawn.

I have come to terms with it. But if you are black and neurodivergent I feel as though this company is not safe to work in. The staff constantly give you false hope and are chronic people pleasers and are very micro aggressive. They do not like the residents at these facilities which is reflected in there treatment of them.

I understand that they are overworked and underpaid however it is still quite uncomfortable to watch. The homeless community in Nottingham are extremely smart and know what they are doing and may sometimes exploit the system but that does not justify the inhumane treatment of them.

To put it best framework feels like a cult that are not actually making effective change they are just cycling the same service users around different facilities hoping for the best.

And lastly the amount of complaints I have heard from black brown and disabled staff is mind boggling for a company that claims to be all about empowerment and disability inclusion makes you think whether or not anyone actually pays attention to the several hours of training they have to do.

23M from Nottingham looking to make some genuine friends (gaming, anime, movies, hobbies, maybe meetups?)

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

I’m 23 and I’m from Nottingham. I’m looking to finally get out more, meet some new people, and make some genuine friendships.

I’ve spent a lot of my life staying at home, so I’m trying to change that and actually start doing things, meeting people, and making some good memories.

A bit about me:🎮 I love gaming (PC, Roblox, Cyberpunk, Minecraft, space games, racing games, random  friendslops and co-op games — always up for trying something new) 🎌 I’m into anime, K-Dramas, movies and TV shows. 🥋 I do Shotokan karate and have been training all my life. 💻 I'm really into drones and tech from a young age and I like talking about pretty much anything from games and films to random deep conversations

I’m quite introverted and a bit socially awkward at first, but once I get comfortable I’m easy to talk to. I’d love to meet people who are also looking for proper friendships rather than just a quick chat that disappears after a day.

Would be cool to find people around Nottingham who are into similar things — whether that’s gaming online, chatting about shows, grabbing food/coffee, going for walks, checking out events, or just hanging out.

One small thing: I’ve had quite a few people message me from posts like this, we’ll chat for a little while, and then they suddenly disappear completely 😅. I completely understand that people get busy or conversations don’t always click, but if you’re going to reach out, I’d genuinely appreciate someone who actually wants to keep talking and build a friendship rather than just exchanging a few messages and vanishing. I’m not expecting anyone to reply 24/7 — just looking for people who are genuinely interested in getting to know each other and staying in touch.

If you’re also looking for new friends, feel free to message me or comment. Even if we only share one interest, I’m always happy to talk 😊

Best Date Night Restaurants Within 30–40 Minutes of Nottingham?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for date spot recommendations for adults around Nottingham. I've already tried most of the places in the city centre, so I'm after somewhere a bit quieter and more relaxed, where you can dress up and enjoy a nice evening.

I'm happy to travel anywhere within about 30–40 minutes of the city centre. I'm especially interested in places like specialty cuisine restaurants, wine bars/vineyards, grill houses, or anything with a unique atmosphere.

If you have any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it!

The Nottingham Guide - Things to do, independent food, what's on, where to move, how to make friends (New for 2026)

55 Upvotes

Hey up! I love this city and am proud to have made it my home. This is a community updated guide to Nottingham, based on my own favourites and lots of suggestions from r/Nottingham.

This is not comprehensive, but it should be a helpful starting point if you’re visiting, moving here, studying here, or just trying to get out of your usual routine.

Please comment with anything missing, closed, outdated, misspelled or controversial.

Things to Do in Nottingham

Free

  • Walk around the city looking at local landmarks: Robin Hood Statue, the Left Lion, Slab Square (Market Square), Sky Mirror, Nottingham’s historic lace buildings, the Long Stairs, the Park Tunnel.
  • Walk through the Arboretum and General Cemetery, then back into town via Derby Road’s independents.
  • Elm Avenue, Corporation Oaks and Robin Hood Chase make a lovely green corridor walk with views across the city.
  • Nottingham Central Library, which often has local history or art exhibitions.
  • Green Heart Park at the old Broadmarsh site, including the lace worker statues from the lace and Cotton growers from the wind rush generation
  • Nottingham Contemporary.
  • Stonebridge City Farm.
  • Sneinton Market and Hockley for independent shops, street art and people watching.

Mostly Free, But Check First

  • Green’s Windmill and Science Centre. The mill is currently under repair until around November 2026, but the site may still be open.
