If you had to pay double the money to work out in a Hardcore Gym...would u?

[CalvinH]

Yes!
but then again my friend owns the gym I work out at so I don't pay a membership.

Lucky bastard

I can't complain though. I'm paying 30 buck per month / 300 per year for Gold's gym.

harcore gyms are much cheaper here in ireland. no sauna electricity tvs canteen etc means less overheads less reason for the gym to be hardcore.

mine i hardcore and only 20quid a month a bargain.

also one man runs it all. he is 70 and run it himself now 7days a week

We are talking Temple Gym mixed with Metroflex would you pay more monthly to workout with people that share the same goal you do
and are not only share the same gym because it eases the continence when they eat their Wopper later on?

Yes.

"Hardcore"  is such a fucking joke.  I don't even get what the fuck "hardcore" is supposed to mean.  Does that mean shit is old and beat up and there is duct tape everywhere.  Does a "hardcore" gym not have air conditiong and stinks like an old sweaty sock?   As long as a gym has enough weights and equipment, im good to go.  45 pound plates at curves weigh the same as 45 pound plates at Joe's harcore lifting shack.

Some "hardcore"  lifter was bitching non stop about the music at gold's gym where i work out about a week ago.  I told him that if the music that was on dictated whether he was going to have a good workout or not, he should go home and rethink his gameplan, or get a fucking i-pod.  I told him I they could paint the gym pink and play nothing but britney spears and I'd still be 10 times stronger than him.   Not really a squadfather-esque gym owning, but it got my point across.  Don't get me wrong, I prefer a certain type of music when im lifting and I like a certain atmosphere, but i'm not going to let it ruin my workout if I don't have it exactly how i want it.

Couldn't agree more....I can train "hardcore" anywhere that has the standard plates, barbells, dumbbells and a few machines (Smith primarily).  If someone don't like the music than get an IPOD.   Granted, I like training with more like-minded folks, but I can dismiss that as those gyms like that are few and far between.   I was lucky enough to spend my college years in a gym with like-minded people...now I just use the local Gold's with the unwashed masses.

NOPE! I prefer modern, clean well lit gyms. I do a lot of Hammer Strength and don't need others in the gym to get me pumped, sorry.   Howard

i agree, i don't understand some of these clowns who think it's so hardcore to lift in a crackhouse with staph infection covered rusted bars and db's, weight is weight, i'd rather lift in a nice place.

LOL, good description. Maybe they get pissed because the men's shower room is roasted by reg folks and they can't have "hardcore" business as usual.

I have gotten some great workouts in the typical dungeon wt pits. However, I have no desire to return to those days.Why some look a that kind of training regime as a badge of honor is beyond me.

[Zach Trowbridge]

I don't get the whole "hardcore" image.  Why should I want to lift in a place where it looks like anyone bearing cleaning equipment is castrated on sight?  The whole "it smells, the equipment is all handmade out of toothpicks and rubber bands by McGuyver himself, and when you're done with a heavy set of squats you just drop trou and squeeze a douce right by the power rack and then punch yourself in the scrotum" thing is way overplayed.

LOL,, good stuff, her , what a vision you paint with your words LOL.

I work out in a reg t shirt and shorts , sneakers. I see no reason to scream and act like some crazed psycho , who screams like a constipated gorilla on every rep.

if you had to choose between working out in Jay Cutlers gym or Ronnie Colemans gym which one would you choose?

Jay's.  200+ lb dumbbells, nice equipment that doesn't look like it's coated in various diseases, and females.
