Opinions on your gym?

[c17alkylated]

I have been a member at my "health club" for 5 years. Here is what its like :

there is a lobby with big leather sofa's and chairs. And a cardo kickboxing class, bike riding classes, pretty much a class for every pussy ass activity...yoga,etc. It's mostly old rich people that come here for the tennis, raquetball clubs, spa, sauna, and to die here. there are annual wine tasting events and things of that nature. basketball courts. The one good thing is that there are plenty of fine women to talk to. 2 of which work at the snack bar and make me food and mix my protein drinks after working out. And the gym is pretty fucking nice. It like golds, except imagine a gold's inside a family health club. As far as juicers, with the exception of me and my 4 liftin bro's not a chance. There are a lot of sherrifs that are huge. And some firemen. Other than that we get a lot of bad looks , and whispers ..."oh my god, that guy is disgustingly big...must be those steroid things...." stuff like that. Oh ya and the dumbells only go up to 120..very frustrating.

I train at my schools 46 million dollar training facility. It has two pools, a rock climbing wall, a whirl pool, jacuzzi, so much cardio equipment, and about 8 indoor basketball courts I have to stand around for all the little puke heads to get off the equipment, cause they all wanna get big, and they all go to the gym at once. But i hope for their health they stay and train. But i know once the parties start they will stop coming. Other then how crowded it is, it's very nice.

I have three available for my use. One had to cost an incredible amount of money. I never train there. One is an average gym, but it has a power rack and a platform, as well as a couple of benches that I can easily move if I need to, and I train here occasionally. Normally, I train at home. Nobody bothers me here.

My gym blows - more than half the members are over 50 and female. And you know they all have to wear make-up and tight ass draws when we all know they shouldn't even leave their homes. All the others who attend are to say the least amatuers(amatuers = those who've seen a gym, have seen the cover of a Muscle & Fitness mag, and have thought about working out....once). But what makes it worse, is the light sounds of classic rock...shouldn't be called rock as much as classic.

As of now I use a university gym but where I worked out back at home kicked ass. It a 24 hr gym where you got a swipe card to get in whenever you wanted. its location was a fucking warehouse, garage doors and all, on hot summer days we would open those things up to air the place out. Dumbells went up to 225 i think it was. There were about 15 machines and an endless amount of weights and ebnches and racks and leg presses and etc. The music also kicked ass, it had a cd palyer where you bring your cds and blast what you want if someone objected it was settled peacefully. Id say 50% of the ppl in there were using. The only thing the gym lacked was some hotties. There were only 3 treadmills a stairstepper and a few other aerobic machines in a little room off to the side. so even if thedre were hotties you didnt really see them.

I go to (2) Gold’s Gym on is hard core, not too hard but about half are juiced.
The other has about half juiced, but they have neon lights, racquetball courts and the entire floor is cardio equipment.

24 hour fitness here. It's the shitty active club. Theres no pools, basketball or racquetball courts.

I like it though. It's pretty simple. Has an area for stretching. Nobody is ever there. Has a little room for leg equipment. Has two squat racks, a power rack, two leg press machines, a smith machine and three calf machines. Nobody is ever in the leg room. Someone keeps taking the bar from the power rack though.

The free weight area is medium sized. Dumbell goes to 120lbs. There are four flag benches, one decline, two incline barbell benches and two dip machines. There are some cables and a little area for curlers. Then theres the whole upstairs area. The upstairs area has all the cardio equipment and a bunch of machine weights.

This place is a change of pace from my old gym: LA FItness. LA was much nicer, but people there seemed to go for social reasons. I once saw this guy corner this poor girl and forced her to talk to him for a good hour. I was upstairs on a treadmill. She was literally backed up onto a machine. She looked so uncomfortable.

Anyways, this new place I'm at is fine. It's a total piece of shit by most people's standards, but I like it. The only qualm I have is the lack of good bars for deadlifting. They're all smoothed out and hard to grip.
