That would be different, but I don't think date rapists usually get tied down to one woman.

I may have missed this, but what the hell is the reasoning behind giving out free pizza at a gym?

If they're going to give out free stuff, you'd think it would be something SOMEWHAT healthy. Apples, bananas, etc. Why pizza?

There's a planet fitness by my house where a bunch of really jacked up dudes work out. I never really see fatties, but I don't go there very often.



Only so jacked you can get dumbell pressing 75lbs and using the smith machine to do squats.

The little handle on his right side was throwing me off a bit ha.

To the people paying $100 a month... Dang, does it have a golf resort attached to the side? Lifetime in Arizona is $65-75/month (can't remember) and it has indoor & outdoor lap pools, indoor & outdoor play pools, mini water park slides, saunas, hundreds of machines, classes of every kind, café, nutrition shop and multiple full-size basketball courts. I can't imagine what a $100 one could provide beyond that?

I just go to the ASU gym at $40/month. Super nice and clean after its renovations the past year.

I use PF near my office because during lunch is the only time of the day I have to go. Never crowded, a few smith machines, and one squat rack that gets a good bit of use.

People are in there deadlifting every day, and I couldn't imagine them telling someone they couldn't do it.

It's true the dumbbells only go to 75 pounds, though.

I was thinking about getting a membership at planet fitness. The only thing Ive heard that you cant make any type of noise or you will get kicked out. Im one of those guys who lift heavy. And when I lift heavy, I have to breath heavy to get the weight up. As good as the $10/monthly sounds, I really think ill just pay the $35/monthly rate for LA fitness. If im not making any type of noise I feel like Im not working hard enough. And i dont go to a gym to not work hard.

We used to pay $120 or so per month at Lifetime in Atlanta. 2 story gym with lots of machines and free weights, multiple bball courts, indoor lap swimming pool with kid pool area, two huge hot tubs, really big outdoor pool for hanging out, multiple aerobic rooms and cycle rooms, a spa/salon, a cafe and a really big kids area with computers/tv's/video games huge jungle gym and small basketball court. We could literally spend the first half of a Saturday at the "gym" working out while our young boys hung out and played in the kids area, and them all go to the cafe and get some healthy food or smoothie. If the weather was nice we could roll to the outdoor pool and get a few hours of sun. Lifetime would blow the minds of some people I know in BR that go to the manship Y and think it's really nice. Only thing nice abt that place is the tennis facility.

Absolutely. Works for the weak minded people who are unwilling to work and eat smart.
