new gold gym

[big louie]

Yup ther are catering to the yuppie crowd that for sure..

Well i was once a member of a gold gym until it was taken over by the monoplizing scumbags 24 hour fitness.. they opened a new golds a couple months ago not to far from home and they want 50 bones a month for membership fee's seems high doesn't it? Shit i'm only paying 20 for an all club membership at the local dump 24 hour...

Anyway the new gold of today are nothing like the old school like i use to belong to - i mean the dumbbells only go up to 100 pounds and they have some palati classes along with yoga going on in a glass room with nicest floors I've ever seen in a gym.. But to be honest with you i got a 7 day pass and i'm seriously liking the place its top notch in cleanliness and equipment but the fucking dumbbells only go to 100 lbs???? just doesn't seem right... I want to join just to add some mixture to my gym experiences i'm getting stagnant and i'm really staring to hate the fucking people at 24 hour fitness.. everyone seems like a bunch of hypnotized crackheads walking around in a daze - the majority of the people don't go there to lift it more like a social club gathering..

anyone here have any details on gold? the fucking fee's are way out of hand..

I pay $30 a month for my Gold's membership. I got in on the referral program. It's the closest gym to my house so that's why I go there. All the other gyms are 10 minutes + away.

My local gym got taken over by 24/7 fitness and I am actually glad. Its cheap and I can lift anytime. They did take all the 100lb plates out and won't go any higher than 115lbs on the db's but still a decent gym.

I hear ya BL. My gym is almost twice as far from home as the yuppie fitness center here. I went there once (what the hell was I thinking??) to check it out. I asked why they don't have chalk... you know what they said?... "because it makes a mess". WTF??... I'm not going to grab a pair of 110 lb dumbbells and try to do incline presses without my hands chalked. I mean, this damn place even has a fuckin daycare center in it. Half the vehicles in the lot are fuckin SUVs and minivans! This is NOT a gym to ME.

The gym I go to IS a real gym. It is an old school style 70s type of gym where everything is either old or looks old. The dumbbells go up to about 180s I think. And we have a powerlifting platform with homemade squat racks that lift and lower via hydraulic jacks. There are pictures of amateur and pro BBs everywhere, and BB and powerlifting trophies. And the membership is only $380/year. It's the perfect gym, I love it. It's like a second home. I can, and do, go in there wearing denim shorts and an old flannel shirt and nobody thinks anything of it... while at the yuppie soccer mom center, I'd be stared at like an alien.

I wouldn't go anywhere else if it were free.

I get mine for free, the guy at the counter gave me a free pass because he knows me through one of my friends.I work out at 24 Hour Fitness though.
