If you are to describe that an area contains something. And the area is a couple of blocks. How do you say it correctly:
"In just a few blocks you'll find all the top bodybuilding gyms"
"Over just a few blocks you'll find all the top bodybuilding gyms"
Any english speakers who want to clear this up?
.. Oh and Kai Greene is a renowned grammar artist using all the big words he can possibly think of in any given sentence, so now this is bodybuilding related.

I would say "Over ..." is correct
-
I would say "Over ..." is correct
Thanks!

you can also use the word nearby
-
I would say "Over ..." is correct
"Over ..." sounds like the gyms are floating. Preferable would be:
"you'll find all the top bodybuilding gyms in just a few blocks"

Kiwi is correct just add "of" between All __ the
-
"WITHIN a few blocks" is the most correct.
-
Thanks a lot!
But the sentence isn't to be restructured as it is one in a fixed context. I was only after the correct preposition for the start of this particular sentence.
I have come to the conclusion that it is both right to say
"Over a few blocks you'll find ..."
and
"Within a few block you'll find ..."
-
"WITHIN a few blocks" is the most correct.
I think this is best for the context.
Thanks.
-
Just a few blocks away you'll find...

It's funny that I posted this in the correct section first, General Topics, but that place seems pretty desert.
Came to the realization that a lot of these Off Topic threads you see probably are posted here with full intent because it's simply better traffic and faster answers.

'follow me i'll show you the top bodybuilding gyms'

Follow the smell of insecurity

Over is not correct .. over is a descriptor of height if you want to be totally accurate .. unless the gyms are "above" the blocks "WITHIN" is correct
-
'In a few blocks' would only be correct if the receiver was already traveling in that direction.
-
All the top bodybuilding gyms are just a few blocks away.............and if you see average looking people walk into these gyms with two paper bags of groceries you remember that's it's only gay if you want it to be

Would start by making sure the grammar/rhetoric in your title is correct, as in "Your ass in this thread," not "you ass in this thread." ;D -EK

Every letter in the alphabet is used in this sentence.

I skipped school ( public ) one day with a few friends .. we thought it would be fun/ny to just walk into the Catholic school a few streets away when we were passing and heard the class bell ... we knew they wore uniforms and we'd stick out .. but thought that was the funny part .. imagining the kids and teachers just look at us when we just took a seat in a class LOL
We didn't last five minutes ... the old bag in black who ran the joint .. ended up swatting us on the hands hard with her wooden ruler .. just before she called our school and told us the asst principal was on his way to get us .. with an evil eye .. she was the debil :-\
we got suspended and had two weeks after school detention too .. I still think it would have been funny LOL
