Too big for my gym?

[Jesusbrah]

The gym i work out at is probably Norways equivalent of Planet Fitness. Biggest dumbells are 75 lbs, no tank tops, rude staff who harasse members if they look in shape, forcing them to do drug tests or get thrown out, free breakfast consisting of loaf. You get the point. Most of the members are seniors.

Im concidering joining another gym in my city. Its the mecca of bodybuilding in my country, most of the top bodybuilders/strongmen work out there. Im friends with the staff there, know alot of members etc.

Now heres the problem. The good gym is 3x the price of the shitty gym.

Would you stick to the shitty gym and save cash, or travel to "mecca"?

[Bio-Active]

Go to the better gym

[derekkpapa1]

how closer it other gym?
will it increase your gains and workouts?

Current gym is 10 min walking distance, other gym is 10 min by car.

Increase gains? Well, they have heavier weights so i would assume so

I always go to the better gym and i figure its because i am worth it

[austinite]

Planet fitness is not a gym...

[GirlyGymRat]

And you are!!!

[derekkpapa1]

10 mins by car is nothing.
Time to switch gyms
Place you are going sounds like a nursing home activity center

[Oki-Des]

Never give anyone you hate your money out of convenience. They sound like douche bags and I would let the owners know that you left because their staff sucks; after you leave of course. Drug tests because you are in shape??? Screw them and their crappy gym.

[Jesusbrah]

Unanimous decision! Thanks guys.

[zempey]

I would have no choice since I wouldn't pass, let alone take a drug test. Fuk that gym, they seem like a bunch of tards anyway.

[Igifuno]

Force you to take a drug test? Yeah, I'd walk out and never look back. Ridiculous.

[zempey]

Maybe take a shit in the urinal on your way out, you know, just to say thanks.

[derekkpapa1]

I will take the drug test for you

[lovbyts]

Best advice yet.

What a bunch od bs. Thats worse than paying rent to live at home and your mom searching for playboys. Ok ok back in my day we didnt have computers and online pornography. LoL

Really though I think I would want to punch someone in the face if I was told I had to take a drug test to be a paid member.

It probably smells like a retirement home. I can't imagine anyone going there except old people.

Oh, you have no idea!

One of the staff members (5´5, sub 100 lbs personal trainer) approached me one day, eating his "turnip stew" from his tupperware, told me to get the hell out of there because they had recorded me letting my gym partner in the previous day, who had forgotten his key card!

The shower was 10 feet away, and lets just say i considered showing what prison is like. No homo.

[DOSA]

Pretty homo

Same here.

[marcus300]

How have you made any gains in a wanker of a gym like that?

[bsh]

Forces drug test? Wow

[Bio-Active]

And you are!!!

thanks a lot

[Honkey_Kong]

That place isn't even a gym and you're pissing your money away there.

Besides, how could you make gains when the max dumbbell weight is 75lbs?

I tell you what, since I'm such a nice guy, you give me half the money you were going to spend at that gym and I'll let you push my car around town. You'll get a better workout doing that.

[noon]

I will take the drug test for you

Lol.. Me too ! me too !

[SEOINAGE]

In this situation I would say better gym. Others I would say better or home gym.

[ngtmarpete]

If you feel that you are worth it, and I hope you do, then invest in what's best for you!

[< <Samson> >]

I'd like to hit up a full on juicer gym

But, the only one I know of here is all the way on the other side of town like an hour away.

So commercial gym it is - for now

75 pounds dumbbells - I do curls with more weight
