I don't know about you guys but when I come out of my gym right in front is:
-McDonalds
-Hungry Jacks
-Subway next door to Crossfit
-next door to gym is pizza shop.
As you leave and go around back there is another pizza shop! !
Seriously - wtf! I wonder if they see all those FF restaurants and say "THIS IS PREFECT! !"
I don't eat none of it. But for a person that ate that stuff everyday. It must be hard for them.

I have a beautiful gym, surrounded by fields and a Forrest, closest "fast-food" place is Kauaii which only sells delicious healthy foods and shakes
I'm very lucky. Closest junk food place is about 10km from the gym. 0 -

Starbucks
Popeyes fried chicken

In the front is Field... to the left as you walk out is a closed down amusement pool and a River... on the right is another field and behind it is park... The Rec Center/ Gym is kind of isolated...0

Right next to it is a tanning salon, and then to the side is Home Depot, and the other side there is a shopping center.. I'm sure it has some food places but I've never gone in there.0

Sounds like a horror movie waiting to happen!
Outside of one of my gyms is:
A Budget Truck rental
Some shop dealing with kids - tutoring or behavioral management or something
A large paving company
Some other industrial type things
Post office
A hair salon or hair school
(none of these things are open when I go so idgaf)
My other gym:
Gold selling place
Walmart is close - same with Joann's Fabric, a Bon Ton (clothing store), a packey
Massage place
Firestone
Car dealership
Taco bell
Starbucks0 -
My gym is surrounded by playing fields, a university campus, and some residential buildings.
The gym's windows are all heavily tinted though, so you can't really see any of it.0 -
Walk out the front door and it's soccer field and track. To the right is a playground and to the left is the road. They do have a smoothie counter inside the gym but for the most part I try to stay away from there. Too much sugar. I'd rather come home and make my own smoothie!0

Or... "What's outside your fast food joint"
.
All of those seem like places you could nicely stack up on some appropriate macros to fuel your body after a decent weights session!
Current gym - at my own place.
Previous ones I've spent any decent time at have been been in business parks, so boring office tech-company office blocks (convienent that I worked at one of them, not so good that the gym cost £72pm - probably because we also shared the park with the UK HQ for Microsoft and Oracle.)0 -
Mine is right next to a hotel (which is next to the river) and across from a closed car dealership. There is a drive thru coffee place and a strip mall (with a Mexican restaurant I think, but you only see the sign not it) diagonally across the corner. A few blocks down is a KFC and right after that Safeway and a bunch of fast food places, but none that you see right as you leave.0
-
a nail salon, a nutrishop, a burger king, and the worst of all, RIGHT next door, is a Venezia's Pizza and it always smells soooooo good when I leave the gym!0
-
Mines in a plaza right next to Abercrombie lol so if anything it's motivation :-P there's also a super market, a chilis, Starbucks, an ulta beauty in the same plaza.0

A HUUUUUUGGGGEEEE lorry with 'Sports Direct.com' printed across the side. Every now and then they drive it past the gym windows, and sometimes they attach a second 'Sports Direct.com' booth to the back just to make sure it's drilled into our brains hard enough! :grumble:
And a big fish and chips sign, the sea, lots of joggers along the promenade, followed by the pier with lots of rides and doughnuts/chips/milkshakes/fast food kiosks!0 -
My gym is right next door to a frozen yogurt place, then a coffee shop, then a Chipotle. Not exactly healthy, but it could be worse. However, there's also a pizza place across the street, and another one around the corner, and a bagel shop a block away, and a diner down the block in both directions. Then again, I live in NYC, so I could basically be describing anywhere in the city. =P0

My verandah and occasionally a possum0

Yes, this does sound like a good setting for a horror movie:huh:0 -
Just homes and schools. But I do pass a Dominos, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Bamboo House, Berke Street Pizza on the way there and back.0
-
Haha! ! We have like I said Crossfit studio next door and you can hear them dropping their weights!
It's good to watch them. Their bodies are just magic.
Hard work though!0 -
Luckily nothing. Mine is in an industrial park. The only I would pass on the way home is a pizza shop and a 7-11. Neither of which I would stop for. 0
-
Two noodle bars!
There's a greengrocers down the road though, and 3 health food shops on the same road, so it's all good.0 -
The parking lot. The church on the other side of the parking lot. Houses.
I use the community center gym, in the middle of my neighborhood, only 1 1/2 mi. away. Perfect.0 -

In the same parking lot:
D1ckey's BBQ
Yak & Yeti Indian Buffet
Country Buffet
And then:
Harbor Freight Tools
A giant thrift store
My comic book store
and a bunch of other random strip mall occupants I haven't really checked out yet...
Oh, and yes, I'm just drooling when I leave the gym at 5pm between the Yak & Yeti and the D1ckey's. OMG. I'm usually so grody when I get out though, I just want to fly home as fast as possible, and not expose other living creatures to the sight. :P
