How far would you drive to the gym?

Basically for a good gym with good peeps in it, how far would you go out of your way?

I have three choices. I bought a membership to 24 Hr. a while ago when i started since they were right down the street from my place, real convenient and it was a small crappy town with not that many choices for gyms.

Now i am in LA and since i pre-bought a couple years i am still wanting to use what i paid for. Unfortunatly the one closest to my apartment is kinda dumpy (Fallbrook in woodland hills for anyone in the know). Theres no TVs to watch while doing cardio, and its a fitness only place so i can't play b-ball there. Now the next one i would use is thousand oaks which is a nice facility (pool and stuff, better looking chicks)if a bit crowded. Its a bit of a drive though and with gas prices like they are it can kinda hurt the pocketbook.

Of course i could just get a smaller better gym but i don't want to spend the $.

for me, the gym is always about proximity and convenience....the closer the better.


but then again the equipment i require is pretty simple

Even if the gym has everything, it's not worth a damn if it's not convenient to go. It's too easy for other shit to come up even if the gym is right there. I'd opt for the crappy one down the street. TV for cardio? What's cardio?
