Title: How many of you train at a 24-hour gym?
Post by: 240 is Back on April 05, 2008, 04:38:50 PM: I hate gyms that close at 4 on sat/sunday.

I'm sure all 3 of these folks agree with me.

Post by: Special Ed on April 05, 2008, 05:11:51 PM: I love 24 hour gyms because not only can I save money on rent and sleep there (just find a nice cozy bench and push it into the back corner) but they usually have Musclephone alerts so I can wake up each morning to learn something new about Jay Cutler's grocery shopping or Phil Heath's glutes.

Thanks Musclephone!

Post by: Croatch on April 05, 2008, 07:18:03 PM: I remember when I first started training at 16 years old in 1992. It was a small gym located on the basement floor of a civic center. I showed up on Columbus Day and the doors were locked.
I didn't give a shit, I broke a window to went in and lift. Got in a nice workout and took the money from a candy machine, while I was there. ;DBOOM!!
Now that's, hardcore...haah

Post by: JohnnyVegas on April 05, 2008, 08:22:43 PM: All the Las Vegas Gold's are open 24 hours, and they are the biggest and best equipped gyms in the chain.

The fact is there are very FEW people in the gym after 10 PM, and in the middle of the night it is not uncommon to have no one there.

Who the hell would want to work out after 10pm? Night is for sleeping, not lifting.
