Public service announcement for those who use gyms.

I just take it to the streets (until they start charging for the use of public space) ...

What constitutes "good"? I'm shopping ellipticals in the $2k range.

commercial runs 24 hours a day, for a person 1 hour a day expect to buy half price.

Buy nice or buy twice.

Jogging is for suckers. You're an even bigger sucker if you pay $12,000 to do it.

Money better spent...by about 12 times.

even the biggest body builders who won mr olympia like jay cutler don't have their own gyms but pay memberships...

save some cash and join a Gym

I look at the paid gym vs home gym thing this way...

What good is deadlifting 4 plates when nobody sees you do it?

:1orglaugh

I have an awesome row of parks and wetlands by my house, so I just go climb a tree or something with my laptop to do some work. I've been doing that for a while and I feel better than I ever have in my life.. :upsidedow
(For about an hour a day)

You got a gym and somebody was bitching about membership prices? :)

$40/mo that's pretty steep. I pay $20.00 since I carried my membership over from another gym. Other's pay $25.00. I do not recommend Planet Fitness if you are a serious lifter. I got kicked out while on a 2 week trial for over repping a pair of 40 lb dumbbells. I did 20 reps and I was asked to leave.
Crunch fitness is 9.95 a month but the sign-up is pretty high as with most of these gyms.

Also whoever pays 4.5k on a dumbbell bench has no common sense on shopping for fitness equipment.
Send me the cash I will gladly buy this bench Bench and pocket the rest.

As for ellipticals those are a wast of money.
Arc trainers is where’s it's at. Of courser you need the room for something this size. These can run you about 3.5k and up.

What? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
This can not be real :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I pay about 200$ for 2 years for 24 hour fitness all club acess.

Wish it was a joke.
They pride themselves on No Intimidations, No Lug Heads and so on.
I was asked to leave and I was escorted out since someone felt "intimidated" about my workout. No loss on my part other then the try out period.

Not bad for a big chain gym. :thumbsup

Some of those newer hole in the wall gyms as I call them can cost $50.00 a month.
