Do you fire clients who aren't making progress or just continue to take their money as a subsidy for those who want to make progress?

If it's because they're not trying and wasting my time then yes I do. But every situation is different.

You're paying for an Equinox?

Fucking why?

Don't get me wrong, it's nice you have that money and you definitely can't find a nicer gym, but damn. Just to lift?

Wow.

1. It's not that much. $165/month
2. They have nice showers
3. It's close to work

My commute is such that if I didn't take this route, I wouldn't realistically be able to train. So there you go.

For a gym membership it's a lot.

I pay 50 bucks a month for 2 people at the LA Fitness Signature.

They have nice showers too.

I don't know where you work of course.

I'm not judging, and I think it's great you can afford that much of a membership, but I'm just saying that 165 bucks a month for a gym membership is very much expensive compared to the average gym membership out there.

I quit... I keep saying I'm going to start back, but right now I'm fat and happy.

I do need to keep my health tip top though.

$165/mo is a lot for a gym anywhere, yeah.

165? Better have unlimited white towel access!

165 is a total ripoff. My gym is $35.00 per month.

AJ must be making the BIG bucks, since 165 is pennies for him!

$165 mo for a gym is insane unless you're looking for a place to get pampered. I don't know what state you're in but I'm sure there's a real gym somewhere close.

No, there really isn't a gym that is as convenient.

AJ, when you carry as much muscle as you do, and as strong as you, you need an expensive gym.

Haters just hatin' on you, broskie!

I went to the Equinox by me... Super nice... Posh... Just not worth the cost.

I think when I talked to them, I could get 2 people for 200 bucks,but I just couldn't convince myself to pay 4 times what I pay now for a decent enough place.

Pretty good price on two slaves.

I do, but for commuting issues, I had to get a gym close to work.

Equinox , what did you expect? My last company got me a free membership to the local one, I went once and never used it again.

People still lift in non faggy gyms

I still lift. Just not that much weight.

Probably the only reason to go.

However such gyms do not even have squat racks. Very fitness oriented.

Lots of prime, fine pussy and since we can all afford the vig, they know you're a baller.

There's 3 power racks. The DBs go to 110s. Not ideal, but not bad.

No standing calf raise, tho

You can use a smith machine and a fitness step.
Does the high price keep the idiots out?
