Anyone in the Newark, NJ area?

I have a friend and fellow competitor from here in Iowa that will be out there for a week here coming up soon. (I will get the exact time block tomorrow when I talk to him) Anyway, he is competing in the UPA Nationals in April and is trying to avoid taking the whole week off when he should be doing bench tripples that week. He would like to find a place out there to possibly get into a couple times while he is there. If anyone in the area would be willing toopen their doors to a fellow lifter or maybe hook up with him at the gym you use I'm sure he would greatly appreciate it. I told him I would ask, and Steve said he thought there were a lot of you guys in that area. One of the great things about this sport, the brotherhood no matter where you are.

I'm way south of Newark but if looking for a decent gym, I've heard good things about Strong & Shapely in East Rutherford and Diamond Gym... I believe in Maplewood. Both are about 15-20 minutes outside Newark.

I am also way south of Newark, but my gym is always open for a serious guy. That is VIP in Yardley Pa but that is about an hour from Newark. It might be closer for him to train with the guys in NY, I know we have a couple of dedicated people there too.

Newark is about an hour from me, but if you want to go down towards the Trenton, NJ area definitely can.
