    I wish I could afford a chain gym. I work out at a small gym owned by a local church. Love that I can take my kids with me when the fiancee is working though.

    Best gyms:
    Anytime- 24 hours
    Lifetime- for amenities
    Nautilus- Old school gym

    Worst gyms:
    Gold's: contracts that are harder to get out of than alkatraz
    Planetfitness: judge free my tail? Im sorry my dedication and drive to get stronger intimidated your lazy, unmotivated behind.

    Lol planet fitness is judgment free unless your actually trying to make GAINZ

    Golds is expensive almost always crowded but I always enjoyed the company
    Their approach (Planet Fitness) is so ironic. In attempts to be "judgement free" they judge the h3ll outta those that are busting their tail, and go so far as to stereotype them in their commercials. Worst. Gym. Ever!

    I really like my 24 Hour Fitness cuz I get a year for under $200 and pretty much always have a location I can go to when traveling... and can't beat the hours!

    I love PF. The one we use (allyoryczcak and I) is crowded with friendly people at all levels of fitness.
    We work very hard and maybe that influences how we're treated, but we have never had a problem with anyone there.
    I think everyone has figured out that "judgement-free zone" actually means "don't be a d!ck" and it seems to work.


    After reading the post above, I'm glad I've never seen a commercial for PF. Does their advertising really mock those who are fit?

    I use my garage.

    I'm not a fan of the clutter, the climate control, the management, the kids and dog that run around in it or the sweaty guy who is always on the treadmill...

    Gold's Gym. No bull, tons of equipment, cheap dues, decent daycare and no pushy trainers hawking supplements every time you walk in the door.

    Ya the commercials do knock on people who are a bit more dedicated than others, but they are pretty funny.

    I work out at an independent gym. It reminds me a bit of a Gold's but a bit more beat up, which I like.

    My Y is the best. Olympic size pool, weights, classes and the best people ever. If you don't show up a couple of days, someone is calling or texting you to make sure you were ok. I just love my Y.

    I go at least once a week to a local rock climbing gym. They do have a few cardio machines there as well, but I have a bowflex and an elliptical and a few climbing training tools at home, and in the nice weather I hike or jog in a local park or run in the field by my house.

    The one of my apartment complex. It is small, however, not too many people use it. Always clean and has everything that one needs.

    I go to the Y. They have great classes.On the average weekday they have 14 classes to choose from. The pool is super nice and so is the gym. They also have free childcare and children's programs for members. As well, they have a great financial assistance program if you are low income and can't afford their fees
