Dorian's gym was a dungeon. Ronnie's gym look like it was falling apart inside and was hot as fuck---needed huge fans to cool it.
All we need is weights, machines, cardio equipment and a water fountain and bathroom.

$30 more a month is nothing, each his own

the same thing is happening where I live...my gym is hardcore and only two blocks away...but now a planet fitness is opening and everyone in the gym says they will be going to the new place.....this is for two reasons...1. planet fitness will be open 24/7 and 2. my gym only has one treadmill working and stuff is always breaking down

I hate it because planet fitness caters basically to women, guys on the make and fags

I dont feel your pain!!! We opened our own place and it is great. We scream we yell we cuss and fart and use lots of chalk. So if someone bitches they can hit the fucking road. We play the music we want aint do not have to listen to soccer moms bitch and old ladies talk about there bowel movements. Our equipment is bought and paid for yeah it might be mismatched but it gets the job done. I do go to a Snap 24/7 to do my cardio though, but my wife gets it free through work.

The Wallmart analogy is spot on! La Fitness is exactly that!! The LA Fitness that just opened is HUGE and most the equipment is crap. I trained for a year at an LA Fitness and prepared for 2 shows there and all the while I hated it. Health clubs are great if you are looking to kinda workout and have social hour with a bunch of strangers but a terrible environment if you are really trying to get in shape.

So I just found out that my gym is closing down due to a loss of business to the opening of a gigantic LA Fitness down the street!! My gym is one of the very last hardcore gyms in my county and the only hardcore gym within reasonable driving distance. The LA Fitness is a gym for pussies...no dumbells over 100lbs, no squat cages, no deadlifting allowed, no steel plates or dumbells and jam packed with dipshits. Does anyone else here feel my pain?

I've visited an LA Fitness gym in Orlando, and they had plenty of dumbbells (up to 150s) and two squat racks.

The plates were the vinyl or rubber-coated ones, but there were several flat and incline bench presses (actually bolted to the floor).

That gym is CLEAN. The bars and chrome are so shiny, you can almost eat off them.

With all of that said, it's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too pricey. And, since I still have my Bally membership that I got for Christmas nearly 20 years ago, I'll stick with that.

Do you get recognized when you go out places a lot?

Do pros get to train for free?

Do you hang out with or train with any pros from other sports?

he trained with the MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE!!! OOOOHHHH YEAH

unrageable · « **Reply #34 on:** October 21, 2011, 09:20:44 PM »

you aren't allowed to deadlift, do cleans, or drop weights in my gym.

I do it anyway because I am there to train and I don't give a fuck what people think.

Was a member in LA fitness for over a year and left this past April because I moved. They were good! None of the things you mentioned applied at the one I was at! Lots of serious bodybuilders, and fitness chicks and it was all fine!

Now you're at Lifestyle gym where none of the things you mentioned (bodybuilders/fitness chicks) apply lol

Lol......I feel your pain, soldier. it's all about business these days for any Gyms who expect to make it far......there was a L.A fitness who opened 3yrs ago around my neighborhood and within a year, they drove two other smaller gyms out of business, ..........it's hard to find a good, decent gym these days with all the basics, free weights.

I always feel sorry for Americans complaining about their gym facilities. In most cases the average US gym is much better equipped than here in Europe.
