What gym environment do you prefer?

[khemix]

I was getting curious as to other peoples gym environment preferences. This is your preference, not necessarily where you go now.

I prefer a smaller gym. Less people to bother me and not as cold, usually. I like to SWEAT! The only problem I've found with smaller gyms is that that their DB's dont usually go high enough and occationally theres not enough plates. Mine is 24hrs so theres not rush.

anywhere where the piece of equipment, bench, dumbell, that I need right that second is not currently being used. lots of mirrors and good lighting to pose....jk.

cold cuz i sweat like a pig. dumbells up to 200 (no i dont use that much but so i can someday and not have to go elsewhere). 24 hour access, tanning beds.


ohhh ohhh ohhh and have u noticed the older men the more naked they are walking around like they are brad pitt. i would like once for there to be not one single spread eagle guy in the sauna.

clean & plenty of towels.

hot ass cardio bunnies and employees in thong leotards for between set wipedowns and motivation.

thats all i want. is that too much to ask?

 

[jumpmaster82]

i prefer hardcore gyms, but not so oldschool that they dont have alot of the newer useful machines. my old gym in NC was the most hardcore ive ever been apart of, i loved it, no 150lb teenagers fucking around and getting in the way. but right now i go to a smaller gym, healthclub type. its not that bad it has everything i need, but i hate the old people wandering around aimlessly trying to start a conversation with me in the middle of my workouts.

I'm so with you both on the f'ing old men. I hate that. Apparently when you reach a certain age you have no shame??

Theats my only bitch with the oldschool gyms. They dont have some of the newer, real useful equipment and machines. Thats and they're usually cold as hell. Skinny-asses like me have a hard time getting a real good pump when its 55degrees .

 

[Advisor_x]

Basically not one where people dress up and smell of cologne and keep looking at the mirror or reading magazines.........

 

[Megalomaniac]

Basically not one where people dress up and smell of cologne and keep looking at the mirror or reading magazines.........

Well I use the mirror to do my lifts but I think that is alright. On another note I used to work out at this gym where a chick would have make-up and ear rings on for her workouts. It wouldn't shock me to find out that she posts on EF

 

[AMGETR]

I used to go to a hardcore small membership gym in NYC back when I was there, but now in Canada I'm at a more open gym. I just plug my earphones and get to work, I dont talk to anyone.

 

[Arabian]

The one I go to is a new modern equipment gym and the owner competes so its a welcome change from Golds meat market... also its a 24 hour card key entry gym....

 

[bluejay]

I like hardcore workmanlike gyms... The kind without any B.S.

Dorian's Temple Gym in Birmingham UK was THE BEST I have ever trained in hands down. It is the most hardcore I have ever been to.

I wish there was a voting category in this poll above that was a cross between the Hardcore gyms & the smaller private ones... Because I like both those qualities....

On a side-note, I CANNOT STAND when I go into gyms and they have really slow R&B tunes playing that you may as well be having sex to. Would they play heavy metal, gangster rap, or hard techno in a fancy restaurant? To me playing soft music in a gym is just as inappropriate if not worse!!!!

I really need to get an I-POD. haha.

 

[rnch]

agree...when i hit the gym i am "in my zone" and want to work out and get it over with before i loose my icentive to do so.

i do NOT want to talk and socialize.

 

[JimBoy]

When I first got serious about training, I trained w/ an older pro (69)at his home gym and I got used to that private no BS "pumping iron" type atmosphere. It was also motivating to see pics of him w/ Columbo, Arnold and some of the older pro's.
The gym I train at now is a family members 2 car garage converted to a gym. We have a nice mix of machine's, free weights up to 200, and a couple squat racks. Everything I need I have.

It's so nice to listen to any music you want, not share machines and not be distracted by the people who go to the gym as a social gathering. I try and go 110% every workout and the Tren makes me an animal in the gym so I also like the privacy so I can make any noises I want.

 

[JimBoy]

Private gym is also nice so I don't get the 35 yr plus women hitting on me while I'm 2 sets into my workout. Don't get me wrong, I love older women and they can be very forward and fun to talk to, just not 15 minutes into my workout.

wasnt me though i fessed up some of the closest stuff to it!

 

[pmd287]

Definitely a mix between the hardcore and the small. The one i train at has almost no machines, it has racks, platforms to drop all the weights you want, and a bucket of chalk so no need for the gloves. There is a tricep pulldown machine but the only other one is a jammer. It is the ideal place for me. Sweaty, loud, small, comfortable, and open to anyone from any walk of life with any views on whatever. Just get in and lift.

im a bit younger so i prefer more open social gyms.. and i really like the enviroment at the y, not to crowded (free weight section) and not to empty.. almost never have to fight for a bench or cable machine..

 

[BIGBUCK$]

the gym in my building is actually a health and racquetball club for people that live there. believe it or not nobody uses the weight room and its always empty.

 

[xrsist]

dont care, as long as i can work everything i want, how i want, must have 4", 6", floor to ceiling and ring also, pool is a big bonus along with sauna

and of course a hot young tart behind the counter i can crack on to

 

[Tatyana]

I prefer hardcore/BBing gyms.

Mine regular gym is great, I don't pay membership, there is minimal heating, no air conditioning, dumbells up to ???, not sure but I think around 70 kg + (I can't re-rack some of them), loads of extra olympic bars, two squat racks, one is a cage.

 

[thebadguy54]

Old school. No machines. Just a bunch of crazy motherfuckers that like pain.

 

[advanced-stealth]

Old school.

 

[rnch]

the last gym i was at had the machines and free weights in the same location....all the carefully couifueered (sp) blue haired old ladies doing bicep curls with 5 pound weights would complain if the ceiling fans were turned on.....

I picked up a video Ipod for xmas and I'm loving it. I ripped me a few hardcore workout vids from youtube and it helps for motivation sometimes .

[khemix]

i H A T E all you young, fast metabolism guys....

Lol I can promise you that I hate being skinny. And if I dont stay on diet year-round...I lose weight within a week of coming off diet. Now THAT I hate!

Honestly, it would be so much easier to be a semi-fat guy that bulked up and cut down. Its easier to put on sloppy weight and then clean it up afterwards, as compared to being a skinny ass and having a tough time putting any kind of weight on. I feel its much easier to keep yourself from eating than it is to keep cramming it down your throat all day.

But I've accepted and have came to terms with my body. We've got an agreement. I feed it 5k+ cals a day and a little juice, and we get along just fine .

How have you been bro?

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!! I really need to get an iPod. Pissin me off with the slow noise. I workout at a Gold's that has a good mix of members - tons (pun intended) of great equipment, lots of variety, etc. but I find that every outher workout I'm begging them to change the music. Woody killer....

I used to only like the hardcore bodybuilding type gyms,,,now when I travel I enjoy the different people and equipment other gyms have to offer

 

[xxsuprman22xx]

haha i like the health spa girly gym because im the biggest dude there lol

no but seriously i like the more private (usually more expensive) gym because theres not as much foot traffic - i get to hit all the weights i want when i want

[Big_Joe]

I have been asked to leave one gym, there are only two in the town I live in and Gold's is a fifty mile plus round trip, because I was scaring the kiddies doing clean and press. The other gym in town doesn't have as nice a set of free weights but the attitude is much better. I was doing clean and press the other day and one of the owners came in and said "Man you're getting a great workout." What a difference.

 

[the_alcatraz]

Hardcore babbyyyyy!!!!

 

[sugashane]

Doesn't matter. Just a 24 hour one so I can lift after work, and it has to have the equipment I need. I'm not there to whoo people, or to impress anyone. I go for me and to compete against my last workout.

 

[emilio_rebenga]

old school harcore gyms...prob like the old golds gym in pumping iron

the reason being that you and yell and grunt and ppl wont look at you for being too loud...those other health spas, and "pretty gyms" suk ass imo

give me cold iron weight and a bunch of guys who are juicing and i'll be at home

 

[Burpees]

the generic large chains work for me, la fitness, 24hr fitness, Bally's etc.. I can be hardcore all I want, once people get used to you they tend to make way for you since they know you aren't there to chit chat and fuck around.. I still like to look at sweaty women though..

I prefer 24hrs if I can find one, that way if its a big gym I can just find the times when its got less memebers in it. Hell if its busy and I cant get to what I need at the time just about anywhere you go the squat rack is open so I just hang out over there.

 

[FIRE FIGHTER614]

i hit it at a small old school gym .....i go between 8:00 and 12:00 in the morning and know every one there

 

[drsketch]

I like a gym where the shit I need to use is always free
people mind there own fucking business
people dont stare at me
and hot bitch walking around from time to time.

 

[the_alcatraz]

I like a gym where the roof leaks when it rains, the floors are cracked from all the heavy deadlifting, the smell of sweat, blood and tears fill the room, and the screams when the beasts are lifting fuel your workout. That's hardcore. That's me.

 

[Blane]

im at la fitness. where people curl in the squat racks, everybody dresses the same, no one squats, deadlifts or benches properly, guys stand in line to sniff the seat of the last piece of equiptment some chick was using and the personal trainers are fat.

I use an ipod so i can block most of it out.

I miss the hardcore gym i used to use....it was a storfront type place with two levels..downstairs was legs/dl space...cracked mirrors, arnold/columbo posters. Heavy metal death music blasting(not that im into that) it was a hardcore place.....benching 305 for 3 sets of 5 was low weight there...in LA fitness. people around me get these looks on their faces like"omg he is going to lift that..."

Everyone squats 1/4 way down, and half the squat racks have someone doing bicep curls all the time. Fuckin A.

 

[dirty~d~]

I like gyms that are multi-functional/hardcore... boxing gyms are GREAT! They smell like sweat and iron and there are usually very few douches strutting around. The gym I'm at now is as close to that as I can get here, although there are a few too many high school punks to make it perfect.

[stosstruppe]

So long as it's a typical free weights set up gym & isn't completely choc-o-block I'm not fussed.

One of the ghetto gyms I used to use hosted kids birthday parties in the next room also. Fucking horrible trying to do a session with the music off and all the noisy kids screaming around.

[Big_BK]

I pretty much go everywhere. I like when the gym is busy and lots of people around, gets me fired up. Hate training when the place is dead.

 

[msbb]

no cold health spas for me. I like to work out around others who are their for one purpose - to move some weight.

 

[LucSulla]

I don't care as long is it 24 hours and has the shit I need. My only pet peeve are gyms that don't let you throw the weight. I understand it totally if you go at peak and there are people everywhere, but if it is 1 in the morning I think they should loosen up a bit. I also hate gyms that seem to have the music programmed by German, rave kids. There was a techno version of "She's Like the Wind"playing when I walked in tonight.

 

[dane17]

any gym that bans cell phones

 

[Hellawulf]

I workout in one of those big, airy social gyms right now, full of all types of machines and stuff, looks great, and they have a lot of technology, but truthfully for what I'm doing, I'm wasting money, and I'd prefer to go to a smaller gym, and def more hardcore...

 

[bruce9241]

I'd be happy with a smaller gym with proper air ventilatin to let out the stink, but no air conditioning. I don't ask for much, just need a power rack, enough plates and a few free barbells for cleans/deadlifting work. Would be great if they had a cold drinking fountain and a place to change.

That right there would have gotten me thrown out and probably slapped with assault charges.

I fucking despise big gyms like Ballys, and shit like that. WAYYY over priced and there is always homos everywhere I cant stand the summer workout assholes.
My gym is fairly small compared to "corperate" cock sucker gyms, But its cool. You have a pass code to get in so sometimes I am the only person there. Which I personally love. Even if there is a bunch of people there I never have an issue with what I need cause people seem to steer clear of me. Like I have a big cock growing out of my forehead. Whatever, doesnt bother me. Theres only a handful of "large" dudes that go where I go. Usually you wont see more than one "big" guy in the gym at the same time. I suppose its nice for the other retards there. Gives them something to stare at and whisper about.


AS far as dropping the weights go.......my gym has the rubber floor in the whole gym. the dumbells from 105 and up are those thick handled rubber coated ones. There are signs by the dumbell rack "please do not drop/throw weights" ......you know what I do when I finish a set with 110 lb fucking DB's for example...I drop the fucking dumbells. Its bullshit. Its not like we are doing it to be dicks. You ever try to sit up or slowly let down 200+ lbs worth of dumbells while laying on a flat bench?? HAHAHAHAHA whatever. Those assholes going to pay for my double shoulder surgery? No! I do it when the owners are there i do it when they are not there. I dont do it to be an asshole. No one ever says anything.

 

[cryptosporidium]

+1 on droppin the fuckin db's man. as long as i make sure theyre not gonna land on some idiots foot, then who gives a fuq.

ill take an empty gym any day as long as they got the equipment. otherwise i prefer old school, cause most people are there to do work and dont get in my way.

[legendz]

I selected the small, private club, though lack of traffic isn't the only thing that's important. Things that are of prime importance to me in a gym are:

-Availability of whatever equipment I need when I need it (i.e., a wide variety of equipment exists at the gym and there is at least one set of the equipment I need that's not being used when I need it).

-Cleanliness. It has to be clean throughout, especially the locker rooms and the equipment.

-Not too crowded or jam-packed. We all need space for comfort and safety.

-Convenient hours. I don't understand how any gym can close at 4pm on a Saturday.

-Modern equipment and well-organized. My workouts are long enough without wasting time looking for two matching-weight dumbbells.

Right now, I'm a member of a small chain of gyms. The sizes of the branches vary from smallish to cavernous (all run by the one company/brand). I rather like it. I tend to go to the larger branches because the equipment availability tends to be more reliable and, even though they're larger and have more people, they don't seem as crowded as some of the smaller branches. Considering that I have my choice of so many locations, which are all well-run and clean, the cost seems very reasonable. Also, it seems as if one can be sociable or not (I'm not usually that sociable, preferring to focus on my workout).

See now, I wouldnt mind a pool. I have no where to swim. I used to go to a great "health club" back in the day. I do enjoy sauna, steam room, pool, hot tub ect. Shit is great after some workouts. But the few places anywhere close that are like that are like $50-75 a month. Fuck that. My gym is $30. If I ponied up the dough and paid for the year it would be $20.

Bro why not switch to bent over "barbell" rows if your maxed out on the dumbells?

i do both swap em up on day 3 and day 6

I use the gym at my local "rec". It's like a Y. Pretty well done though and dumbells go up so I've got room to grow. Too damn many kids but at least I'm one of the bigger guys there. LOL. I would love a sauna and stuff but honestly I would never have time to use it so it wouldn't matter anyway!

i like the loud beat sweat boxes where the fans keep the chalk circulating through the air. if you are ever in the newark de area check out the training center.

I would love a dungeon gym too. But My gym is nicely in the middle I think. Only thing that pisses me off is when the TV is on Hip hop. There are 6 tv's people can use the head phone plug in boxes to listen to while doing any of the cardio machines. The one thats on music all the time is turned up for everyone to hear though. If its on rap or hiphop it gets changed when I walk in. People are like who the fuck is this asshole changing the channel? LOL. I cannot lift heavy with that shit ringing in my ears.

 

[joe d]

i cant stand rap either.
