    What Gym do you use?

    I'll start, local YMCA. Awesome gym and really good rates for families.

    Not pretentious, everyone is serious about lifting with few douches.

      InShape, they don't complain when I accidentally drop heavy weight, and try to keep my chalk clean.

      My living room. I just prefer it, don't have to leave the house and it's pretty much free. I am doing Jillian Michael's body revolution. My husband does P90X. Much cheaper than a monthly gym membership.

      Our basement and Lifetime. Love Lifetime for all the family activities and the outdoor pool and I never have to wait for machines.

      Home gym at my parents. I dont live too far away so it's ok. It's just barbell, bench, pull up bar and a stationary bike. I have to do zercher squats which is the only real downside I can think of. They hurt my babby arms

      Y here too - and I like it for the same reasons. Going after work is a little dicey, people are kind of ruder then, but the mornings are almost always douche-free. And they have a good pool, and there's a decent chance of being able to find one when I'm traveling.

      I also go to a small gym near my daughter's school where I work with my trainer and the gym at work, because it was a one-time $20 fee to use it as long as I work here. So I'm pretty much never more than 5 minutes from one of my gyms.

      Local place (with about 4 or 5 locations) called Crossroads Fitness. Location I go to is less than a mile from my home (so I can walk there and back when the weather is pleasant).

      Big enough to have a good selection of equipment and weights, but not big enough to have that 'big box' feeling.

      I use a small gym in my apartment community...because it's free and right there.

      I had a membership with Anytime Fitness that expired a few months ago. The monthly rate was decent...it was 30/month and there was a 60 start up fee for the key FOB. I also paid in full so there wasn't another start up fee which was another 60. I have no complaints, but it was a smaller gym and at times got crowded.

      I use the council run gyms - access to 11 sites for £35 a month. Not too bad really!

      It's a locally owned ladies gym.

      I sooo want to save up and get the goods for a home gym though.

      Heng's

      It's a small local gym that is 24/7 and extremely hard core (no classes, no sauna, etc). Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful.

      24 hour fitness. I wish I could find something with a bit more variety of classes though.

      A local place that's near by that's 25 a month. Mostly free weights, some cardio machines no frills. Perfect for me. (Before that, the Y, but when the rates went up again, I couldn't justify it given the other options within 1 mile of it.)

      I also go to our local YMCA's! They have amazing equipment, a great childcare for my kids, and the family activities are a plus! :)

      The office in my house. I use a Weider TotalBodyworks and do cardio to supplement. Best gym membership I've ever had.
