What gym do you go to/train at?

[winb83]

Let me add my 2 cents:

Ive been with Planet Fitness for about 4 yrs, I originally joined due to the price and the particular one I go to is never really crowded except for the hours of like 4pm-8pm, and I usually go in the morning. Is it a perfect gym, far from it, I dont like the color scheme but that isnt a huge issue, I wish they had more free weights and less of the cardio machines which honestly they have way to many. There are some gym rats (ie the buff muscular guys) that go to the gym but honestly for the most part I see more older people (ie 40-55) and women than I do men my age (late 20s) but then again i go between the hrs of 8am-11am). I just got back myself. There is 1 personal trainer who looks like he is 18 and I never see him with anyone, so take that whichever way you want to. I may be looking at another gym because I want to start using the rower and it appears my gym doesnt have 1. Also yea the tanning machine is stupid, I never see anyone use them most real tanners are going to go elsewhere

Planet Fitness is designed to milk $10 a month from a mass of people who aren't really serious about working out. These people start up every January and by April they aren't going to the gym consistently anymore but $10 a month is painless so they still have the bank draft setup.

What serious gym has pizza day and a bowl of tootsie rolls by the door? There's a reason Planet Fitness doesn't have squat racks or benches for bench presses. It's not because that stuff is too expensive it's because they want that casual person that's not really so dedicated who will continue to pay that $10 a month. That's why there's this culture there that mocks serious gym goers.

That being said you can make what they have work for you to a certain extent but when you get serious about strength training you're gonna need more than they offer.

New York Sports Club

I live in Astoria, but that gym is kind of lame ... I only go there because it's so close. My favorite one (that I've been to) is the Soho one

I just want the equipment not the class

But I might just buy the equipment since it would be cheaper/easier..

But I got weight bench at the crib as well, I just go to gyms to get out the house really

Like what kind of equipment? All they have is punching bags and an octagon

Well they had weights at the one I was at, speed bag platform, reflex bag, plethora of punching bags and types, battle ropes, a ring, and the one out here in BR has some special shyt that I haven't seen yet

Plus it has some other shyt in the back that I didn't care to check out...


But idk.. for the money I didn't intend on using the classes. I got my own routine. I could go to a real gym but there aren't many bytches there normally or I could save money and just buy a heavybag and speedbag platform (I got bags already) and just set up the home gym (which is whats most likely will happen) but there's no guarantee I'll stay in the city to work and there's no bytches by the crib

If you take lifting seriously why bother with Planet Fitness at all? You'd be better off doing calisthenics in your bedroom and copping a few dumbbells and a bench.
