Finding a new gym, Philly

**Sir Lifts-a-lot** · 08-13-2008, 08:18 PM

So I am moving to Philly in about a month and need to know where some good gyms are. I am looking for some real iron dungeons. If it came down to it I wouldn't mind a 'health club' like philly sports club, or World Gym but those would have to be 24hour. I am going to be off of broad & spruce so that general area, but I wouldn't mind going as far east as columbus or south as washington.

Let me know guys!

dont know any center city. my friendsand i all trained in the burbs

My buddy is a personal trainer at an apartment building in Olde City, i'll ask him and get back to him..You're really close to Rittenhouse Square so you're going to be hard pressed to find a dungeon around there, its upscale...

Ya that is what I am worried about. That's why I wouldn't mind going a little ways. If worse comes to worse I will stay at my gym in Jersey and hit it up on the commute home.

There is some state law that states: Anyone from Jersey is not allowed to recommend any "great cheese steak places."

....well there should be.
