they have a wolgangs, ironhorse, powerhouse gym and of course golds. the first 3 are all hardcore ie; the smallest solid dumbells are 120's all the way up to 250. real york plates, chalk, the smell..the whole nine. used to hit these before i got married and had kids. then it was to golds. I bring my mp3 player and drown out the problems that plague the popular gyms.

There's not too many hardcore gyms around these days just hardcore people. Thats what makes a place hardcore. I train at a golds where there is a mix of bodybuilders, senior citizens, and there's also a physical therapy office at the gym. Most of the times you just have find hardcore within yourself and in your training. Its just a shame that you have to resort to ipods and tune people out when you should be feeding off others energy and encourage others around to train hard.

Hell, I work out at a University. I go in on a Friday evening and theres 1000 frat boys doing bicep curls before they go out. Anybody that can through up 225 is "big". Kinda makes me wanna puke, but its fun to be the big fish in a small/crappy pond.
