What is the point of people coming on here and bragging about and wanting to workout at a "hardcore" gym. I like my pussy gym. First i'm one of the bigger people there which is nice. The equipment is solid. And yes there are a lot of hot ladies there. Why the fuck would I want to work out with a bunch of roided up dudes.
Also, no i do not work out legs 
I see your point. I liked my hardcore gym, cause we had less jackasses walking around (bullshitting, talking on the cell phone, hogging the equipment). We had some great people there. Most of them serious. Unlike the Gold's I train at now, where most people are slackers.
At my old gym, I could ask someone for a spot, and they'd have a clue as to how to do it. Now (at my current gym), I wouldn't fucking dare. At my old gym, the rules were understood and followed. People cleaned up their messes, didn't slam or drop the weights, and it was just a great atmosphere. Many there knew each other. At Gold's, you're lucky to be greeted by the counter person. The weights are everywhere.
At Gold's, it seems like 1/3 of the equipment is down. It either needs fixing, re-upholstering, or some kind of maintenance. At my old gym, the owners were anal about upkeep of the equipment. At Gold's, they are now taping over tears in the benches.

We didn't have too many women, but the ones we did have were fairly serious and not there to socialize (for you this may be a bad thing).
I could go on and on....but you get the idea....
