Exhorbitant gym prices in Toronto

[The Red Dragon]

Anyone know a good gym in Toronto that's well equipped (heavy free weights)? What's the market rate for a gym nowadays? I checked Goodlife, best rate they can give me is 25 biweekly which translates to 50 a month...pretty fucked compared to 27/month at U of T (includes a 50 m pool). The equipment is crap too, they have a shitload of Nautilus type machines and a small sorryass free weight section. I could by my own damn equipment at the annual rates. The gym industry has become a sad place...charging high prices from artificial demand of people buying membership and not going...and those who do go don't even know how to workout which reduces the use value of the equipment.

Why don't you stay at UT? Can't you get an alum membership?

Alum is at 60, I'm actually still a student (at Waterloo) but there's no air conditioning in the strength and conditioning room. I'm only here for 4 months as it is a coop term, after that I have 'free' access to Waterloo's gym.

Yo I live in waterloo, workout at the PAC

Yeah I use the PAC too...pretty dungeony but it's got the stuff...I'm glad they started switching to rubber, the metal bells kept breaking. They really gotta do something about the equipment, it's pretty damn sketchy. I hate how the PAC packs up though, especially in the winter months.
