my gym (gold's) is about 15-20 minutes away
my wife's gym (curve's) is even closer, about 10 minutes
she does have a membership at both places so sometimes we work out together at gold's then go out to breakfast at mcdonalds or the waffle house

You're all lucky. I live in NW London, UK and there is NO proper gyms in my immediate area. If I wanted a yoga/holistic/gay/fitness experience there is about 5 in a radius of 2 miles from my front door. Sadly the heavy training hardcore gyms is a rare breed these days.

i prefer the more family-oriented fitness centers sense sometimes i bring my wife with me to work out
the hardcore training gyms are dusty and sometimes dirty plus the members were mean to me when i went once
they also hog all the equipment too

5 minutes. A 1/2 hour each way would make it a lot easier for me to justify skipping a workout.

Yea, we have a gym chain called Virgin Active which is great with their weights and fitness area and I have one literally 3 min from my house. But at £87 ($140) a month it isn't really value for money. I'm not a Getbig millionaire.   >:(

Yea? whereabouts you train Mouse? I used to train at Genesis in Alperton but the commute on the 406 was fucking killing me. Currently at Golds in Harrow but looking to move over to Golds in Park Royal.

Nice. There was a failed gym not far from me selling the majority of what you have for $2k. I didn't buy because I would have to remodel my shop
