Bob,
I believe 5bx was a military (Canadian Air force, I think not 100% though) fitness using 5 basic exercises, star jumps, squats etc. Ted Brewer was ex military PE instructor.
Andyboy,
I started in 1976 at College Road and Ted Brewer was the 5BX mentor, two shifts of lads in the loading bays to knock into shape. We also did sessions at Newtown Leisure Centre.
Luxury compared to the roof sessions at Hampton Street :-)
