[hotpink]

Hey! Sooo I officially move to Orlando tomorrow. My biggest concern is finding a new gym, and I want to do it as soon as I get up there. Any suggestions? I live in the UCF area, right by the 417. (And know pretty much nothing about the area) HELP!

[AdamGH]

I am familiar with the area. I unfortunately cant recommend anything since I have never lived out there. I live out in west Orlando, near Universal.

Damn, well ty for responding

[wilson9d]

I know nothing of Orlando, however, I can’t get enough of your avi.


You are ridiculously hot.

[KatsMeow]

We have a pretty nice fitness gym at UCF, are you going to be going to school there?

No, for some reason I just don't like UCF, I'm just going to Valencia to finish my AA and transferring. Actually, the only thing I like about UCF IS the gym. You're lucky.

I've seen it around but never been in it..??? I'm guessing as long as they have the equipment you need it should be all good. No matter what all of those gyms are packed. There is the National Training Center but that's expensive as hell.

[gixxerboy1]

i've been to a planet fitness in NJ it was horrible. It was one of those with alot of rules about making noices. And over the radio every 10 mins there would be messages about wipping down your equimpnet and bs

Yeah, I'm mapquesting gyms close to me and that came up...its only $20 a month and includes unlimited everything so I guess I'll go check it out tomorrow.

haha I just read they have an alarm that goes off when someone grunts or bangs loudly, wtf? But I don't make a lot of noices so I'm good with that. And I have an ipod to ignore annoying bs

[hotpink]

Actually I just remembered my ipod broke. F*CK.

[NYGIANTS21]

I live in Orlando, but I am currently in IRAQ, but planet fitness in Orlando is not that bad they don't really sound the alarm unless the "noise" is very loud. Everything is nice weights bikes....etc. I was on a budget so I had to go there. Well good luck!

That's a really good price, I pay almost double that for Snap Fitness and that place sucks. The only perk is it's 24 hours

[inky-e]

Well if a little drive isn't out of the question... my gym is great....I'm in Miami. lol couldn't resist sorry.

im going to west campus Valencia , ucf when i am done as well. i workout at bally's. Its an ok place. It is kinda of a small gym. It has only one squat rack and only 3 stand alone bolted down benches which get crowded really easy. So it can get pretty annoying at times. See if any World's Gyms are near by. I have always been a fan of their gyms. I never had any of these problems at worlds like i do at bally's.

[KatsMeow]

A sound alarm?? Wow, that isn't any place I want to be.

[g.gonzales90]

Alright the gyms in this area are 2 LA Fitness(waterford, oviedo) , 1 Metro 24/7(waterford) gym, 1 Planet Fitness(oviedo), Steel Mill(off of aloma) (power lifting gym if your into that) Lifestyle fitness(off of redbug lk road), and orlando barebell.

[hotpink]

thanks for the help. I broke my laptop and haven't bought a new one yet so I got one already at LA Fitness I think waterford? is that the one off semoran? I have no idea about this area besides university, east colonial, how to get to west valencia, adam im going there too! but transferring to uf or fsu after, and I just found target yesterday haha, goldenrod? in st pete the streets are all numbers, its so confusing out here having to memorize all of these crazy street names.

but g you said you know the manager at la fitness or something like that? i talked to will and he said since he made a corp membership right before I called he could give me a huge discount... 74 sign up and 34.95 a month. I thought it sounded like a good deal. he said its normally like 200 something and 60 a month?

damn that sounds like a smoking deal!!

[AdamGH]

Bally's charged me 80 bucks to sign up and it included my first month. 36 dollars every month after.

Im familiar with that area. I dated a few UCF women. We go by street names pretty much. Seems everyone else uses numbers. I grew up here so it doesnt bother me.

To west valencia... Easiest explanation is i-4 west, turn right on kirkman north, 3 miles up on the left just past the walmart. that walmart is one of the busiest in America and prolly the most ghetto to lol. Where I live is really nice, but surrounded by ghetto. so we get the overflow traveling our neighborhoods. I had a gunbattle close by outside the other night.

You'll be happy if you eventually move to Tallahassee to go to FSU. Gold's Gym = $14.99 per month no contract or sign up fee.

Ya thats the same deal i got as well, looks like you didn't have to know anybody lol...... advantages of being a woman. The LA off of semoran i believe is howell branch. Then one in waterford is off Alafaya and i'll give you a heads up don't go to waterford LA its packed 24/7 you can't use anything but you can find out that for yourself if you so choose. If you need someone to workout w/ let me know my workout partner just moved to Miami so im solo again.

Yes metrowest. Right next to Crimehills

Im getting a CET(computer engineering technology) degree at Valencia. Ill have my MCSE when Im finished as well. Ill use that to get my foot in the door somewhere. Then finish my Bachelors at UCF. I plan to finish up my computer degree and get a minor in business . I want to get into IT management. Which is where the money is . Ill probably get a systems/network engineer or systems/network administrator job in the meantime. How about you?

You get cooler every day haha. I'm actually going for AA in engineering. And metrowest is crazy, but w valencia is the largest community college I've ever seen. I just wish those dumbasses would stop classifying me as a non-res

What is howell branch? Is that a city? haha its in winter park. But its not far. I just went there today to pay and get my card, I go monday at 9 for my little training sesh thing. I do need a workout partner though! Next three weeks I'm doing a lot of cutting though soooo maybe after that? My workouts are going to be a little, eh...girly haha but after 3 weeks I'll be back to norm

Try and get a job at Lockheed Martin after you graduate. They pay really well and incredible benefits. It is just tough to get a interview. It's all about who you know. I was lucky and had a contract job there for a couple years. So i know people. It is just a matter of time now for me.

Ya non res sucks!! So much more expensive I just dropped 300 bucks for two books yesterday. I have to take a class called math in electronics. You might have to take it for engineering too. The book is $134!!

On size... their is a college called SCC in Sanford. I went there at one point. I think it is bigger than Valencia. Not by much though.

[Bojangles69]

Is there like a WOW out there?

Theres a WOW by me at least every 10 miles. And advertisements for them like every 2 miles.. one right in front of Mickey D's which is just hilarious imo.

.. who the hells gonna finish a Big Mac then go join a gym.

haha actually the only WOWs I've ever seen are right by Mcdonalds haha. Aren't they small gyms though? And kind of shitty? I ended up getting a memb at LA Fitness and its huge

No way, the ones by me in NJ are huge, and a lot of snobby upper class people. Friggn Bruce Springstein was here (Eatontown) working out last thurs. It was pretty cool.

And the Mcdonalds thing is so true lol.
Enjoy LA Fitness!

Can't even remember seeing one of those around here.

[g.gonzales90]

haven't been on i a while been super busy! the only smaller gyms in the area are orlando barbell and the steel mill power lifting gyms. Ya the LA's are huge, but the good thing is they are every where so no matter what side of town your own you can probably find one

[SVTmuscle]

When I lived in orlando, the Gold's Gym was AMAZING, definitely go there if you can.
