**Tigershark** · 02-09-2011, 09:43 AM

**Hunter** · 02-09-2011, 09:45 AM

**Standby** · 02-09-2011, 09:47 AM

**songdog** · 02-09-2011, 09:57 AM

**Standby** · 02-09-2011, 09:59 AM

well it hasn't got a squat rack then!
It takes me 30 mins but as long as I take some protein shake for straight after i dont think its a problem.
If Ive run out I will just literately take my whole pw meal with me and eat in my car after training!

sounds like a great gym your squat rack amount beats mine by 2 lol. The city that it's in though is known for super-hot moms it sucks being on this test sometimes cause I keep getting boners when they try to talk to me and I gotta sit down

yup I just eat my meal and i'm straight on my sportbike and headed to the gym. I keep a tub of protein in the locker and usually bring some food with me and eat it before I travel back. It's worth the slight inconvienience though as you can imagine

**MACHINE5150** · 02-09-2011, 10:23 AM

i walk about 6 min to my gym

**stack_it** · 02-09-2011, 10:33 AM

About 20 minute drive to my gyms. There's 3 different golds that I go to. I'm a member at powerhouse which is about 35 minutes away but I rarely go there.

**X83** · 02-09-2011, 10:49 AM

I only need to drive two miles.

**Shol'va** · 02-09-2011, 10:51 AM

About a mile so I have no excuse for not going everyday and the best part is it's a Zyzzz free zone.

So you aren't that guy circling the gym parking lot looking for the closest space?

My gym is only a few minutes away. I can get there in one song on the radio. It used to be a Golds and now is a "fitness" place. They kept most of the equipment, but took out the rack of barbells for some unknown reason.

**D3m3nt3d** · 02-09-2011, 11:10 AM

It takes me about 3 minutes from my work, bout 30 mins from my home.

it sounds like the majority of you live near your gym. Is this planned or do I just live somewhere where there are not a lot of gyms nearby lol ? I'm definatley getting an appartment next to the nicest gym I can find when it's time for me to move out

**yungone501** · 02-09-2011, 11:48 AM

About 10 agonizing....steps.

**JohnnyVegas** · 02-09-2011, 11:51 AM

I used to go to a hole-in-the-wall gym for lifters and bodybuilders when I was young. It was owned by George Eiferman (Mr. America, Mr. Universe) and it was for the serious only. I miss that place.

**BJJ** · 02-09-2011, 11:57 AM

7' by foot

**BgMc31** · 02-09-2011, 12:16 PM

about 60 feet to my converted guest house. 2 squat racks, 1 olympic lifting platform, dumbells up to 200lbs, over 2800lbs of plates, bumpers, axel, log, stones, everything a brotha needs to keep my swole on. Plus a sauna and jacuzzi always waiting and no worries about other people f*cking in either...LOL!!!! Except for me of course (I have suspicions about my teenage sons and their gfs though!, LOL)
