    I love all the variety of machines, classes ~ the pool, sauna and even the massage table I end my workouts with :)

    YMCA, plenty of space and equipment, not many posers and great motivating and helpful staff. It is kept exceptionally clean- by all the staff including the great manager Mick.

    I joined planet fitness that opened up by my house, monthly fee is cheap compared to other gyms and feels like a great value. I don't have any other gym experiences to compare it to but all the things they offer there I can't imagine needing much else.

    Mine has two squat racks, bumper plates for deads, very few rules (other than that damn "no chalk" rule), and plenty of people that are there to lift and are friendly enough without being intrusive.

    When I'm there, I'm in the zone. Nothing else matters. No interruptions. No distractions. Just me and my goals. <3

    It's nearly always empty and I get to tell the staff what music to put on because they are lovely.

    Its not part of a big chain, its 3 mins walk from where I work, its not over subscribed so I never have to wait too long for a bench or squat rack, its a bit worn and not trendy, it has squash courts rather than a pool, and they wash my kit for me every day :bigsmile:
