Alas my 18month contract is up with golds gym...looking forward to it. After all the people got memberships there they changed times they where open, and now are letting all these highschool kids in there.

So a few "what would you do's"

I can either stay at golds( not sure the price, but I think its gone up, to like 400+ a year)..with mediocore(sp) equitment....but I am used to what they have...and "comfortable" with the people. I also have acess to other gyms in the area...and if i go out of town...i can use other golds...


or I can go to a private gym...which will be cheaper...but since it is private...they are closed more...and hours aren't as long..but they do have nice equitment...smaller crowds...more "mature" crowds.

Finally...

This huige warehouse place its massive...then one i went into is in my college town .....it has everything imaginable....chains, power racks, platforms, bouncy plates.....thick bars, hex bars....only thing is....it will turn a 10min drive to workout...into a 30+ depending on traffic.

So? what you all do?

I'd stay with the Gold's.

A little discipline at the table and at the gym might help reduce that belly!

Chains, racks, etc.

If you choose golds, you are never allowed to complain about your gym again.

Yea I Know....Golds isn't that bad....just the one I am at is a little more "spa" like....all the machines are hammer strength so they match even though most of the machines aren't that good quaility.

people more so are getting on my nerves....i'm hoping if i change atmospheres i'l get a new "fire" maybe?
