What gym does everyone train at ?

At golds Wish they would spread the stuff out more, and not buy all hammer strength stuff, just cause the crome machines match the decor. -------------- ......quote the Andrew....nevermore
DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2004/10/05, 09:03 PM Golds Gym. No it is deffinately not free especially if you get a trainer. i could just train at school for free, but naw I'd rather be with the guys at gold's. I feel like I belong there. The music really sux in this gym! Every once in a while they have it on 99.5 (oh wait that's only here) well it's a rock station. Sometimes they have on some thuggish music and some love songs and stuff. How the hell are you supposed to pull out a set intensely with that kind of music in your head? grrrr....
porphyria Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/04/24	2004/10/05, 11:21 PM LA Fitness in Encinitas, CA... They play the worst music ever. The have three standard benchs for B.P and they are always taken...
princesslodgey Posts: 1,748 Joined: 2004/02/21	2004/10/06, 06:14 AM Princesslodgey's gym. Not the best equipped, but the equipment's always free, the subs are low, and the music is whatever I choose :)
519 Posts: 69 Joined: 2003/11/03	2004/10/06, 08:42 AM I work out at a gym called Popeyes. the music sucks but that is what iPods are for. everything else there is awesome. (www.popeyesgym.com) Never too many people there, and because it is for a more serious crowd you don't get the huge spikes in population come spring...or people standing around chatting over one machine for 45 min.

hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2004/10/06, 08:57 AM Fitness University. I dont care about the music because I dont need music to workout. The equipment is good, and it is not always packed, so I like it. -------------- You can cover up the flaws on your body, but there is no hiding a flawed personality.
hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2004/10/06, 08:58 AM By the way, my gym used to be gold's, but the owner didn't pay his bill or something so he had to change the name. Lucky for me I got a travel pass when I first joined, so I still go to gold's when I am out of town:dumbbell: -------------- You can cover up the flaws on your body, but there is no hiding a flawed personality.

bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/10/06, 12:53 PM I paid a up front fee.........$365 for 18 months -------------- ......quote the Andrew....nevermore
DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2004/10/06, 02:28 PM I paid an up front fee of about $400 just for membership, and $20.00 per month for however long you want. There are some good things though. You can have up to a month of a freezed account. meaning you can tell them to not charge you for up to a month if you get sick or hurt yourself or something that will keep you from training.

Leedogg Posts: 59 Joined: 2003/10/18	2004/10/07, 01:44 AM I just bought a weight bench and some free weights for my basement, so all my workouts are done there. I just got out of college back and June and am disappointed I didn't work out at the gym there while it was there and free for me to use. Just to busy to start a workout routine I suppose. I kinda wanted to be ripped already before I started working out in public (I know that sounds stupid :))
