Switching from 24 hr fitness to golds gym...reps (serious)
Alright I am ****ing SICK of 24 hour. I am sick of "Feel the rain on your skin" on repeat 500 times. I am sick of manlets in ****ing short shorts db pressing 15s. I am sick of everything.
Seriously considering dropping it and joining Gold's Gym. Will miss the flexible time schedule, but am going on a *serious* bulk this summer and dont want to waste it listening to Ashanti.
discuss.
oh and reps.

Get yourself an Ipod and ignore the fukkers. Get a 2 week/month trial to Gold's to make sure it is more hardcore than the gym you are currently at or you'll be trading manlets for manlets.

Since I've been at school I've got a shuffle and its changed my workout life. Still though i just hate the god damn 24 atmosphere. If gold's gym is half of what I think it is I will join.
Will call and ask if I can have a free trial for awhile. It's a brand new one and they are practically BEGGING for members- I am about 90% positive if I walked in and said I was going to drop my 24 membership (8 blocks away) they wouldn't make me pay initiation fees or anything.
You guys have any personal experience with golds? both repped

I've noticed the 24 hour here is a joke. Their leg press doesn't even hold enough weight, and all the dbags sit on a machine and do one set every 10 mins.
Golds is aight.

I used to lift and work at one. Gold's Gym's are only as good as their owners.

The weights and **** is top notch at the one I'm at. The problem is the people and just the atmosphere. it doesn't feel like pumping iron. My workouts literally suffer because of it.
mp3 player would help but what are you going to do when you see dbags everywhere and people taking for ****ing ever with **** and EVERYONE IS TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING and they are BRINGING A DAMN TOUR THROUGH EVERY SINGLE TIME IM IN THERE SHOWING THEM THE SQUAT RACK WHILE IM SQUATTING and its just like....

well i will check it out then. its 8 blocks away from the 24 so i think its
#1) way better, because everyone who hates 24 the same reasons i do will be there
or
#2) way worse, because it will be the same **** in a different building.
guess ill just have to wait and sea*
*semi new to misc do i get repped for that or something haha
