How far are you willing to travel to your gym of choice?

Pretty soon, I will be working on the same floor as my gym. Just steps away. No elevator. No stairs. Pumped! And this isn't a corporate homo gym or Planet Fitness. We're talking dumbbells to 200 lbs. and power racks. Looking forward to deadlifting in my works clothes at lunch if the mood strikes me.

I travel from Florida to Australia and workout in Vince Spazile's gym under his supervision. I am only training biceps using his amazing supinator machine.

It takes me 3-5 mins by car. It's awesome, as I have never lived so close to the gym I train at. I actually have free membership at the previous gym that I trained at for 10 years, however it takes me 50 mins in total to get there and back plus the new gym I train at is open 24/7.

by the way what the fuck is a corporate homo gym?

Ones loaded with machines, hardly any free weights, lame dumbbell poundages, talkative people on treadmills, etc., etc., etc.

I live in a small town called New York. And I drive only for a little bit, not too far. I'd say about 6hrs.

About 10min walk. Used to be a 40min drive but that go too much for me. I trained at home for a bit but it just wasn't the same. Joined a lame little corporate homo gym full of fat kunts and overweight PT's but it's close and convenient. Dumbells are pathetic as it only goes up to 35kg. I've moaned before but it's for 'Health and Safety' apparently. As if a 35kg dumbell won't hurt if it fell on your head
