[QUOTE=Johan.Liebert;4166153]if your from arizona post here.. meet some az body builders[/QUOTE]
In Phoenix, AZ
just moved to scottsdale wuddup
Another bump for Tucson/Platinum Fitness (formerly Golds). My membership lets me sign in a guest for free. PM me if you want to workout sometime.
Tucson here. Military so working out on base.
Checking in from Mesa AZ. Working out at Anytime Fitness, Gilbert/McKellips. We got a good group of guys that go on a regular basis, hmu if you wanna join.
Never mind I cant get anyone Local interested so I have to CX this shoot, your loss. It was a Great Idea, but sadly none of You have any foresight. Seems Az is just not a Place for Real Bodybuilders only wanna be E talkers.

How crowded is that place? I hear its pretty bad
Living in Phoenix. I'm doing Crossfit but I'm not seeing the aesthetic progress that I want. I've made the decision to build a raw in home gym. If anyone has equipment they are looking to get rid of in the area, please PM me!

I've made my own home gym and have ZERO regrets. Yesterday was the coldest I've worked out in a LONG time and that was only 60 degrees. I had on a hoodie an sweats.
I haven't been in a gym in over a year and have NO plans on joining one.
Edit: Xfit is cool, I'm not one to knock it but it's not for me and honestly I think you'll like BBing MUCH more if you're trying to CHANGE your body
My focus was BBing like woah before and I switched to Crossfit for more functionality... I'll just BB in my own home. I'll definitely be looking around feb. you aren't the first to share that advice. Thank you!

[QUOTE=PLANETGETLOW;1000796263]What's your thoughts on the Crossfit Revolution and lifestyle?[/QUOTE]
Honestly I haven't done much research into it yet. I feel that the general concept/style of Crossfit is a pretty good idea but it seems that those who are already semi-fit/athletic are the ones that really benefit or excel with it. My gym's owner is paying for me to get the level1 cert so I'll have more to say once I've done some reading and experimenting. There are plenty of things that I would argue against Crossfit with but I think that it is only because I don't know enough about Crossfit to really have an educated opinion.
CF 2-3x week, weight training 2-3x week.. Mix it up :)
EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE & FANTASTIC NEW YEAR AND ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS. !!!!!
May your 2013 be prosperous happy and filled with Joy all Yr.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS. MY WISH FOR YOU ALL, INCLUDING THOSE THAT ARE NOT MY FRIENDS YET AND YES EVEN MY ENEMIES, THOSE THAT ARE SO SHALLOW THEY HATE WITHOUT KNOWING "MAY GOD BLESS YOU AS WELL" wELL i AM OFF TO DO CARDIO AS I HAVE A SHOW TO WIN.
[QUOTE=DHFX;924608043]Get a membership at Platinum Fitness (formerly Golds). There's the midtown location which is ok, kinda small, then there's the east side on Speedway and the noth side (really nice) on Oracle rd. For me I like the atmosphere and people leave you alone when you go workout unless you ask for a spot. And to anyone else that comes to AZ, more specifically Tucson my membership lets me bring a friend so if you're looking to try out the gym, shoot me a PM.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, just be careful with Platinum Fitness if you're gay. At the Speedway facility, I was asked if I had a girlfriend or wife. I answered honestly that I was gay to the personnel that worked there. Guess they had never had someone out to them before. Some of my workout partners knew about me and it didn't bother them. But the manager, when he found out, cashiered me out of the gym instantly. His claim was that it was better for everyone at the gym. Ina regional manager talked with him and never called me back.
So, if you're gay, keep your mouth shut, is the message. Straights only.

How solid does that date look? Last time Gold's Goodyear was going to open they collected a bunch of deposits for memberships then never opened.
Are there machines in building or workman there yet?
Trying to learn as much as I can about this sport so I can make it a reality.
