Pondering which gym to join....

I would puke if I had to workout in choice #1 more than a week...if they didn't throw me out first.

I was forced to work out in this type of place(#1) when I went on a trip once in Tennessee. They WOULD NOT LET ME WEAR A TANK TOP!! "Sorry, its against our policy." There was even a sign, I shit you not. Then they yelled at me for chalking up a little before deads. I told them I'd gladly clean up after myself, but they gave me another "policy" lecture.

I was polite the whole time. But, after about ten minutes, I just popped from the yuppieness, flipped off the front desk on my way out and drove an hour to another town to a nice little whole in the wall dirty-ass gym with a torn, smelly, carpet. They had 80% free weights, and not one of the bigass 6 or 7 guys and 1 girl squatting in sweatsand backwards hat(outstanding) gave a fuck what anyone else thought of the way they looked. It was a place of business, and I fell happily into place...ahhhhhh.....

The nerd gym was in Memphis. It was a big place called the Q. It had an indoor track wrapped around the gym. I'm not sure what town the cool place was in, my buddy drove there. On the way there, we stopped at his girl's house in Germantown, and it was 30-40 minutes from there I believe. Its been a couple years, don't know if its still there or not.
