That's the best way to work out imo. Blast the radio, save drive time like you said. I have a drop ceiling in my basement, like 6'6" I think, not feasible for me. The roiders are unbearable around here man. They strut around like they own the place, cuz the gym is the only place they feel important. I think they are usually poor for the most part, cuz they wear clothes from the 80's. I just prefer a more dignified atmosphere personally.
It's a trade off Danny. my girl actually signed me up for Planet Fitness Because she wants to get back into the gym, so she figured it would be nice for us to do it together. Nice sentiment, but it ain't happening. I walked in, took a look around, and said loud enough for the people around me to hear "you have GOT to be kidding me, this place is a JOKE" I told my girl sorry, but I simply cannot train there. It's not a real gym. I explained to her how the DB's only go to 60 lbs., there's virtually no free weights, the machine's suck horribly etc etc. I also told her not to take it personal, it's fine for her but a waste of my time. I explained that the people who run this place don't want me here as much as I don't want to be here.
She was totally cool about it. Point is If you are serious about training and have halfway decent size and strength, you really have no choice but to put up with the occasional testo-douche at Gold's gym because it's an actual gym, which is a necessity.
