Shopping for a gym - lots of choices but the best costs $$$$
They're either a meat market, just plain nasty or real expensive.
24Hour Fitness is the cheapest at $50/mo for myself, wife and son. The closest 24 is nasty, dirty and there was a bunch of weird old dudes hanging out in the locker room and pool area. I get the feeling it's sorta like the song YMCA there.
There are two neighborhood gyms that are just too small and confining. They packed in, I think, 20 SPINNING bikes in these little rooms. The price is right though for use of free weights, machines and classes.
The last one is the gym I'm leaning towards but it's the priciest. It's brand new, the owners are real nice as are the members I spoke to. They all seemed happy to have moved from the two smaller gyms in town.
The older I get, the pickier I am. I remember when all I cared about was cheap membership, the use of free weights and a locker/shower area. Now it's gotta be clean too.
What are your requirements for a gym?
