Which gym to join?

[hardrock]

choice #1-

Anytime fitness. 6 miles from home

pluses- 24 hrs, good equipment, many locations, tanning included

negatives- $50/month, dbs only go up to 100lbs

#2-

Gold Gym. 2 miles from home

Pluses- dbs go to 150 lbs, more of a hardcore atmosphere, $20/month with a $250 deposit.

Negatives- shitty hrs, old ass equipment, no tanning, no hammer strength machines.

What do you think?

the golds here has a 'no deadlifting' policy.., you may want to ask about that... and if you use chalk some gyms dont allow that either...

You got that right. All big chain gyms are turning into fancy places for people to go do curls for 45 mins while on the cell phone.

I left my golds when my membership was up because i was sick of listening to their shit and the horrible atmosphere. I train at a localish gym now which i am going to start working at so nobody ever comes over and says anything to me plus they were smart enough to seperate the free weight area from all the cardio/crap cable w. weight stack machines.

I'm pretty jealous if $50 / month is a negative....the new gym I joined is like $130 a month....insane

my gym back home was local BK. everyone knew everyone. it was great. could get free shakes out of the guy who worked behind the counter post workout.

my buddy who's trying to get his pro card would pay for my meal if i walked down the street and picked up some chicken and shrimp for him and the other BBer. i worked there and could just sit there all day and make fun of people/goof off and get a lift session in too. best times.

now i'm at a college and just switched to urban active.
it's kinda too crowded at times so i might switch up to some other place eventually.

i did get harassed for cleaning and dropping the weight at my last rep
at world gym. this was a couple of years ago. this skinny guy told me, "if you can lift it that high you don't need to do the exercise". so i asked him excuse me, and told him i was barely being loud. he told me not to do that exercise in the gym (power cleans). so i told him he was a pussy and i didn't need his pussy ass gym. left. never went back. best decision i could of made back then.

most commercial gyms appeal to the soccer mom rather than the bodybuilder/powerlifter.

if you want to rake in a shitload of cash i would recommend being a PT. my 31 year old buddy who's trying for his pro card with the 20' biceps takes in 150-200k per year. one of his clients was going to buy him a motorcycle but he told his wife and she wouldn't let him.
anyways +1 to small gyms bro. love them.

I am really leaning towards Anytime, but the 100lbs dumbell max bugs the shit outta me.
