Just curious to see if any of the members are lifting at the same gym as me. LIFETIME FITNESS in ORLAND PARK, IL. I think it would be kind of cool to lift/become a training partner with certain members of this board. well, i'll be surprised if I get a reply, but it cant hurt to ask.

Good to see fellow South Suburb Guy

What's up Bro. I live in Riverdale,and train at Gold's in Tinley,and also at Quad's in Chicago. I prefer Quad's no real pretty boy's there.Just a lot of hardcore lifters,and dedicated sexy women to cardio. Where is this club you are training at? Hope you reach your goals,and always remember to not think about the weight just lift it and bang them plates baby

I live at 171st and harlem, golds in tinley is 5 mins from my house. I like lifetime cause I can go at one in the morning and workout by myself NO ONE THERE, so i am not intimidated by huge guys, and not annoyed by pretty boys. Plus they got a pool and enough cardio equipment where you never have to wait, plus my GF goes there, so really no choice. you too , hope the same for you.

Bro, I, too, am from Orland. I don't live there currently, since I'm going to school, but I can tell you that you're at the wrong gym. Lifetime fitness is for...I don't know what to call them. Pussies, I guess. Go to golds. There's a general rule that I go by. If there is the word "fitness" in the name of a workout place, it just plain ain't hardcore and serious muscle requires a serious gym. Go to Gold's. It's better. Or, if you really want a dungeon-like, no frills gym, then go to USA Gym on 100th Place and Harlem. It's just a warehouse full of weights. In the summer you sweat just walking in because there's no A/C. Plus, there's pictures of all sorts of huge ass beasts on the walls, which is great motivation. And the owner, Chuck something, is a serious beast and, from what I hear, was once a high ranked NPC competitor. In other words, he knows his shit. I guess that's why his calves are bigger than most peoples arms.
