Do you live in a van down by the river?
One of my gyms is 2 miles from my house. The one I go to while at the office is about 8 miles away.

Right now it always takes me less than 20 minutes to drive there.

2.0 milesMany Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

4 miles for the one near work, and then it's less than a mile to work. Or 2 miles to the one near home.

So there are several locations but the main one that i go to that has the best energy/vibe is a 20 min drive. Now i could go to the one 4 min. away but the crowd is "dead" and it is not very motivating.

It varies depending upon where I am. I have memberships to 3 and there are some more where I can just pay at the desk.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!
The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

Interesting... I must be odd because I actually prefer it when it's dead quiet. It's why I choose morning training.Originally Posted by x-trainer ben

.... and so the great debate begins on the misuse of the word literally... ROFL!Originally Posted by Jtbny
Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.

Well Sunday during football it is dead, so I fly through the equipment in about an hour; but at other times a motivated crowd makes you step up your game when your tired after work around 7pm.Originally Posted by AbuDina
