"Just let us have the basement, Lou!"

Step Two: Find a location

In the film: The Narrator and Tyler fight in a cark park before moving into the cellar of a local bar.

In real life: The Real Fight Club have a warehouse facility a minutes walk from Liverpool St.

The 5000sq ft gym includes a personal training studio, and a dedicated boxing floor with two training rings, 16 punch bags, floor-to-ceiling bags, speed ball, mirrored skipping and shadow boxing areas, chin up bar, Olympic rings, step and cycle machines and free weights.

This is no amateur set up, a million miles from a bar cellar. If we’re going to start our own Fight Club, the trick is to think big.
