: I'm using a Canon EOS3 with a 100-400 4.6-5.6 lens and 800
speed film. The pictures are blurry because most gyms aren't well
lit so I end up shooting at 100-200mm and approx 1/30 exposure.
As a next step, am I better off using faster film(any reccos?) or
should I go to a faster lens(70-200 2.8)?
: Thanks for the advice.

Flash is out of the question for it can distract them and even
cause a serious fall and injury.
ISO 800 is suitable if of great quality film, for color prints
the Fujicolor NGHII Professional 800 would be an excellent
choice. But you can even lower the speed to another better film
at ISO 400, like the superb Agfacolor Optima II Prestige 400
Professional only if you improve your lens aperture. The 28-200mm
f/2.8 is indeed a great choice.
Have a great time :-)
