Where do you train?

PSC in philly....typical yuppie type gym,,,and pricey. I'm considering switching to world's gym soon.
 
How do most of you feel about these huge mega-work out centers. Like lifetime, ect. You know, clubs with tracks, pools, basketball courts all that jazz. I myself just prefer a basic golds/powerhouse style club with a locker room, cardio section, and weights....just me, but thats all I need a gym for
 
Over the years I have trained at all the big gyms in my area. I went to one and it had a rock climbing wall that attracted a lot of people, but not a lot of lifters. One had the indoor track, pool, etc., and it was just a place to hang out for most people. Right now I am back where I started at, Gold's. The one I go to has the largest weight room area of all the gyms in town. I think that it has 6 flat beches with racks, 3 flat beches that can be moved, 3 inclines that can be moved, 2 inclines with racks, 1 decline with a rack, 2 power racks, 2 smith machines, plus a lot of hammer strength and cybex machines. It also has a nice cardio area with treadmills,bikes, etc.. It doesn't have a pool or track, but that's cool because I sink and I don't care for running on tracks. :)

Gold's also has three other locations in my town that I can go to also, but I stick to the biggest one. :)
 
$14/mo for golds? damn, that's sweet. how much do the rest of you pay for gym memberships?

the gym at my college is where i've spent my time this semester when not in classes. was good too, because i found that i was able to workout with 2 herniated discs and make some serious gains in a few short months. hopefully this weekend i'll be able to drive down to my dad's to pick up his weight bench and the combined set we have there. once i get that, i'll spend all of xmas break in my basement. come next semester, i've got a partner, so we'll be in the gym on campus 4 days a week. if i don't take classes this coming summer, or if i'm just not on campus long enough, i'll be back in my basement during the summer.

as long as i'm in school, i'm going to use their gym. i have to pay $79/semester for the 'Recreation Center' whether i use it or not, so you bet your ass i'm gonna use it. and they're pretty well equipped, at least for my needs. only time i go to the "women's" side is when i wanna do reverse leg curls, but that's going to be eliminated when i start doing dead lifts :)
 
74 a month, are you at one of those mega club deals or something? Most people pay 39 a month at my Powerhouse but because ive been there since they opened i get a special deal
 
I train at home -- best decision of my training career.

Me too. I have a great setup, great sound system, no idiots other than myself. Plus, I have chairs for my kids (almost-5 and almost-3) so they can watch and cheer me on. There's nothing like them yelling "1-2-3 GO DADDY!" when you're trying to hit a PR.

Plus, it's freaking cold where I'm at about 7 months a year, and rolling out of the rack and into the gym without going outside rules. :-)
 
I train at an Athletic Club, pretty yuppie but you cant beat the equipment, 3 power racks, 3 smith machines, brand new ivanko dumbells, and the most floor space I've ever seen. Its cheap too, only $30 canadian a month

Gold's Gym. I pay 14$ a month

I was paying about the same. I joined before they opened and I was locked in at that rate for as long as I kept my membership up to date. But I got sick of dealing with the traffic and let it go several years ago. Now I am back there paying $39.95 a month. :(
 
Best gym- my old university gym; had olympic platform and parachutes, water tank and other high tech crazy shit.

Powerhouse I like cause it is affordable and well stocked with powerlifting equipment

My current school gym suck- no powercell, just the old walk out free standing racks, one bench and some weight. I don't mind cause I am gaining under adverse conditionds
