I like the fact that my gym is eveything 24 Hour and Ballys isn't. You are prmitted to make noise when you lift, we've got 200lb dumbells, a Power Pit for powerlifting, all Hammer Strength, and the cardio equipment isn't the main feature of the gym. We have a separate stereo system for the bodybuilding/powerlifting section, so we can listen to motivational music like Mudvayne, Metallica, Godsmack, White Zombie etc...
