I think I will start looking for a new gym next year. The gym I go to is a local chain (MD, DC, and VA). It's perfect, if you never worked out before or been out of the loop for a long time. However, it doesn't have that bodybuilding atmosphere. In addition, the looks and comments are starting to make me self-conscious about what I'm doing. I know I shouldn't care - but the twinkies are really starting to get to me. In the fall, I will start looking at Golds or some of the "warehouse" gyms in the area.
