Famous Gyms

[chotto]

I think the top 5 most famous gyms are (from west to east):

-Gold's, Venice, CA
-Venice Beach Gym, Venice, CA
-Metroflex, Arlington, TX
-Westside, Columbus, OH
-Bev Francis' Powerhouse Gym, Syosset, NY
-Temple Gym, Birmingham, England

Did i miss any? I still need to train at Metroflex, Westside, and Bev's to hit them all.

Just ridiculous. I get the whole hard-core thing, I love those types of gyms. But the smell of piss in that gym made my stomach turn. I couldn't find two matching dumb bells to save my life. The equipment is from decades ago and has not been maintained at all. It was very difficult to actually get a decent workout in.

Other's have said that before too, people walking around sweating and spitting on everything-all the equipment old and rusty

Basically just a shit hole with a big name behind it

Never been there but now that I'm older I'll sacrifice hardcore for hygiene-almost to the point where hardcore translates to shit hole these days
