    24 hour/late night gyms

    I am curious as to how many of you out there are fans of latenight, 24 hour style gyms. My gym and the only decent one in town, closes at 10:30 weekdays, 8:30 on Friday, and 6 on the weekend. There is basically very little demand from anyone to stay open any later on any of those days. By the time I get off work, do errands, etc, it is about 9:30 PM before I can get to the gym. Tonight, I didn't even want to workout, but once I got rolling I had an incredible back pump going, and whoopsy-daisy it was time to go home. I about blew my f***ing lid. It is driving my crazy and I simple don't have the power to make them stay open later. Other than changing my schedule to fit their schedule, any ideas on how to get them to stay open later?

    I workout at a 24 hour a day facility. I normally workout betwee 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. so it wouldn't be a problem if it closed early but I like the fact that its open 24, even if I dont use it.

    I usually go to my gym around 9:00 pm and its still pretty packed which sucks. Sometimes i'll be sitting around at home and decide to go there at like 12:00 or 1:00 am which is awesome because there is no one ever there.

    Yep, thats the good thing about going late, theres really no one there.

    If I go anywhere between 5-9pm..its PACKED. Thats another reason I go late.

    Good thing about leg day is I can go in there with pretty good certainty that the squat rack will be open, no matter what time of day

    lol. You think a business is going to change its hours because it doesn't fit your schedule. You say you get out of work and do errands. Why don't you do the errands after the gym? It also shouldnt take you more then an hour to work out.

    My gym closes at 10pm but theres a sister gym that's about 15 minutes away that is open 24 hours. It makes everything pretty convenient. No other gyms in the area that are open later? Sorry, man. Looks like you'll have to change your schedule cause most likely they won't do anything for you.

    I've also been having to go later than normal because for some reason the new years people haven't been thinning out yet! I'll give them another month.

    That's funny. The workers at my gym said they make bets on who can sign up the most new years resolution members, and then who can guess the correct number of how many people quit that they signed up. I would say the crowd has thinned way out at my gym, except for Monday nights are always real busy.
