What gym do you goto?
What do you pay?
How is it? What do you like about it? What sucks about it?

[Splmash]

SFU

Membership is included in the rec. fee in my tuition.

What I love about it? It's big and fairly new.

What sucks about it? Dumbbells only goes up to 110lbs. and it gets super busy during the rushes.

[PK6o4*]

Guildford Rec Centre
Fleetwood Sports & Leisure Centre

pay $30.25 for monthly pass which you can use at any gym in surrey parks, for basketball, swimming, etc. as well

year passes are available for around ~$220

What I like about Guildford: not much to like about it, 2 floors, has an upstairs for cardio machines and a circle running track, dumbbells to 100, 1 squat rack, 1 bench press, 2 smith machines, around 10 benches, some of them adjustable, total 4 olympic bars (45lb), gets pretty crowded

Fleetwood: 1 big level, dumbbells to 110, some are missing tho like 50s and some others, 2 power racks, 1 smith machine, 4 or 5 bench presses -flat/incline/decline, around 12 benches some adjustable, total around 8 olympic bars (45lb) treadmills/cardio stuff, what I like is it has more olympic bars and power racks, dislike how crowded it gets.

[TouringTeg]

Saanich Commonwealth Place (Victoria)

Student rate $296 + 12% HST = $331.52 = $27.63 per month Pass is good for 4 rec centres in Saanich.

Been going there 2 years now and is very convenient for me since I live next door. 530am-10pm M-F. Pool, hot tub, sauna, drop in badminton etc. included. Gym is on the 2nd floor with a view of the pool.

JD13 can attest to how old the equipment is though. Needs updating and can get very busy at peak times as there is no limit to how many passes they sell. Dumbells up to 110lbs, 2 squat racks, 2 bench press, 1 incline bench, 1 decline, 5 olympic bars, 1 smith, incline leg press etc. Cables go up to 130lbs so I am close to maxing them out.

Once my one year is up next Fall I am thinking of switching to Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence (PISE) http://www.piseworld.com/

This area where I live between Elk Lake, Commonwealth Pool, PISE is expected to produce 1/3 of the medals at the 2012 London Summer Olympics :D

[dachinesedude]

Richmond Oval

$50 tax in

Pros:
- 6 power racks
- tons of cardio machines
- fitness centre is on the third floor balcony, open area so you dont feel like you're trapped in a room with sweaty people
- rubber plates and platforms on 5/6 racks for quieter deadlifting and power cleaning
- 6 full-size basketball courts
- full track with 100M straight on the side
- indoor soccer
- volleyball
- badminton
- ping pong tables (8 i think)
- ice skating

Con:
- not enough adjustable benches
- not enough EZ bars (only 2 i think)
- for the beasts, DB's only got up to 110lb

im prob missing sth, other oval members chime in

[SkinnyPupp]

TF Gym (http://www.tfgym.com/?lang=en) in Mong Kok

About $35 a month

-Good location
-Clean facilities, they are constantly wiping down all equipment and mats
-All rubber plates and DBs which I hear is a good thing. Plenty of plates to go around
-Everything I need can be found - dip belt, different lat pull grips, swiss balls, etc
-Everything is in very good condition
-Not very busy when I go, everyone is friendly
-Plenty of space to relax, shower, etc. Balcony for tanning (though I have a rooftop now)

Cons

-Only one power rack. Tons of space wasted on useless machines - 2 of the 3 smith machines should be replaced by power racks. 4 of the 5 curl machines should be replaced (although to be honest, those are the most frequently used)
-If the training room has a class going, you can't go in there even if there would be room, so there is nowhere else to do my stretches or mobility warmups
-Had to pay 2 years cash to get a decent price. I can put it on 'hold' if need be, for a fee
-They don't let me leave my bag in a locker to go out even for a reasonably short time

Other than the goofy machines, I like that it is a very 'no frills' gym. Very hard to find in HK, most are overpriced 'trendy' gyms (http://www.pure-fitness.com/en/hongkong/) or under equipped roidmonkey gyms (http://francosgym.com/HTML/), or overcrowded 'low price high volume' gyms (http://www.physical.com.hk/fitness/eng/index.html).

[mikemhg]

Gold's Gym Gilmore

$42 a month

Pros:
-Good location
-Lots of parking
-Olympic plates and a crash pad
-Heavy bag area
-Weights go up to 150lbs
-Tons of machines
-Tons of Cardio Equipment
-Good fitness/yoga studio
-Steam room
-Lots of body builders train here, so good place for advice

Cons:
-Only two power racks
-Too many training classes in the studio, so often times can't be used for whatever
-Gyms has cooling issues in the summer
-You have to pay for towels
-The gym doesn't ever re-negotiate contracts
-They play shit music

[jaemc]

Gold's in Richmond

$44 / month

Everything is always clean which is one thing I like about this place. The place is never busy when I go so there is never a wait for machines or weights. People at the gym are really friendly so the enviroment is really nice.

The only issue I have with golds is as mentioned above the contract agreements. Certain friends of mine have gotten better rates than me. When I try to talk to the manager to match on prices and so on so forth no negotiations was considered.

I love that in the mornings there is barely anyone there so everything I want to use is free to use.

What I dislike are the days I can't make it in the morning, I'll go at night and its usually packed and filled with people young high school students who are standing around blocking everything.

It's not that bad of a gym.

lots of free weight area with about 8 adjustable benches and lots of mirrors
chalk allowed
includes pool/hot tub/sauna/basketball court/tons of classes. i use none of them

only one bench press
im one of the stronger guys there (sucks for motivation)
could use more assorted handles (but they usually listen to requests)

[SkinnyPupp]

Where do you deadlifts RR? I usually take a bar off a bench press and use it from there

[instantneedles]

Circuits

U?

i recently started doing isolations now... alternating chest and biceps on one day, and legs and back on another day... i find that its alot easier to workout chests and biceps at ubc because theres alot more benches/cables, free weights, as opposed to 2 squat racks and 1 leg press machine...nothing for hamstrings :okay:

[SkinnyPupp]

You can kill your hams with good mornings, romanian DB lifts, single leg deadlifts, and bulgarian splits, true me on this! :)

[RRxtar]

If you're going to community centres, go to Mt. Pleasant or Trout Lake.
Mt. Pleasant is by far the best community centre I've been to. 3 power racks including one olympic platform. Two benches, 1 incline...and a shitload of adjustable benches.
Dumbbells only go up to 80's like all CCs :okay:

if u still want to go to a community centre gym, go find an empty one that has updated equipment and is not located near any high school.

edit: hillcrest is surprisingly not as packed as i thought it would be in the recent times i went there. I go to creekside near science world as well but place is small but has two olympic platforms for DL and very very very few people was :alone: once with everything to myself at 6pm :lawl:

The reason why SC smells like shit is a broken sewage line by the squat racks, next to the emergency exit there's an open sewage line. It's been like that since I started going there lol. On days that it rains it smells like shit otherwise its not so bad.

Wow surrey has it good.

All the community center gyms in richmond are either packed, or too small or just lack amenities.

I use to work out at the oval, but after I lost the motivation to hit the gym and cancelled my membership back in january. Now that I'm motivated again, I signed up for thompson.

I loved the ymca at langara (pool, had everything I need for working out) but I ran into too many issues

1) distance
2) Size
3) kids
4) marpole jacks

Why can't I just have a nice sized gym, with everything and a god damn pool that doesn't have clueless people walking around doing shit.

I'm sorry, but I know gym's are there to make money, but I borderline feel like it's such a profitable business that most owners don't care simply becuase once the initial costs are in, you never have to upgrade the shit.

But I hate hate hate the idea of paying 50 dollars a month (I have to do monthly, it may be cheaper to do long term, but my money is going elsewhere at the moment, and I wont be financially free till september)

The worst part is, there is no discount for low income/students and if I want to go to another gym in the community, I have to pay 1 dollar.

Why?!?!?!

[MeowMeow]

^ I used to go to Thompson
I liked that gym because it was cleaner than southarm. But I hated the fact it was always packed and i always running into people I knew (like awkward ones)

I found it just busy enough that it wasn't annoying, and there are alot of cute girls to boot. I'm assuming lots of guys you wanted to avoid went there?

[skiiipi]

Richmond Oval...$41.xx per month...a bit expensive, but its so much more than just a gym
drop in hockey, stick and put and all the drop in classess for free makes up for the more expensive rate.
Lots of cardio machines which is nice

[MeowMeow]

Not neccessarily avoid but just felt uncomfortable in a way. Hard to explain hahaha.
but so far i liked thompson over any other community centre gyms in richmond. Maybe ill run into you if i decide to go back!

[instantneedles]

Great gym, come join mofo.

I'm definetly down to join you next week, I've already started a membership there... I could use the spot..

[mikemhg]

It has gotten WAY less busy at all times of the day now. I tried Steve Nash a few times, fuckin hated it. Too busy, no parking. Gold's always has parking, and it's never shit packed.

What time u usually go needles?

[instantneedles]

I usually go during 3-4

[instantneedles]

I get off work around 8 now, so i might workout a late tmr

[pinn3r]

anybody work out at killarney community centre? :alone: LOL

[The_Situation]

anybody work out at killarney community centre? :alone: LOL

I use to as a kid. It's such a shitty gym. No squat rack or anywhere to deadlift.

[Verdasco]

sigh i need to renew my gym pass. 60 dollars is too much for the richmond oval :alone: closest one to me that has racks and shit... time to go back to main and terminal vancouver RC for 40 dollars but across the border :okay:

[pinn3r]

I use to as a kid. It's such a shitty gym. No squat rack or anywhere to deadlift.

true it isn't one of those professional bodybuilding gyms, it's just a local community centre
but their stuff beats kensington's & renfrew's ghetto shit any day

[The_Situation]

I use to go to renfrew as well and I'd say its better. They have dumbbells heavier than 80lbs and they also have a rack.

[Verdasco]

maybe pinn3r aint using the racks :troll:

[beanzzz]

What about Thompson Community Centre, Fitness World or Sport Central?

[Verdasco]

What about Thompson Community Centre, Fitness World or Sport Central?

FW, i heard about it. Anyone know the price for newbie? Richmond though. Sports central i don't like it cus of the kids and brown guys who think they are hot shit but just use machines. I went there for a while already

[pinn3r]

[instantneedles]

i go to ubc gym (25$ for 4months for students)....and kitsilano gym

yeah man, its definetly a good rate for students. I've been on and off with a couple of other gyms, but will be going back there coming september during school. Gimme a shout if u need a workout buddy.

[TheTank]

stopped by Gold's to check out what kind of price i can get... was offered 3 weeks free

[instantneedles]

^ which one?

[TheTank]

gilmore

[instantneedles]

^yeah its a really nice gym there. the nice thing about it is that everyone there is pretty much serious about training, tons of bodybuilders there...

[Verdasco]

man i want to get free pass at golds so bad :( but i have a hatred to a dude there (family hatred) and its best to avoid him. Anyone know if FW richmond give free weeks?

[G]

Couquitlam aquatic centre anyone? Lol feels like a bargain when you get gym, pool, steam room, hot tub all in one place!

[Meowjin]

Southarm community center, been working out there since grade 10 :fuckyea:

so are you in grade 11 now?

[AutozamAZ-3]

anytime fitness in burnaby. $43. rarely busy.

[instantneedles]

man i want to get free pass at golds so bad :( but i have a hatred to a dude there (family hatred) and its best to avoid him. Anyone know if FW richmond give free weeks?

Who gives a fuck? Go workout there if u want to, its not like he has the right to tell you to leave. Ill tell you straight up, golds burnaby is one of the best gyms in the lower mainland hands down, def go give it a try.

[mikemhg]

^ what he says.

[trix4kids]

I go the Revs, there's a fitness centre next to the bowling. 35$ a month, equipments quite old, but, its the closest option.

[instantneedles]

^yeah i used to workout there. there's a ton of equipment there, but some of it is pretty sketchy, i recall doing my flat bench on one of the benches, and once i kicked my 100 lb weights up, i almost flipped over cus the bench was so unstable LOL. Its not bad though, a ton of open space since there aren't alot of people going there...

[JSilver]

Who gives a fuck? Go workout there if u want to, its not like he has the right to tell you to leave. Ill tell you straight up, golds burnaby is one of the best gyms in the lower mainland hands down, def go give it a try.

Ehh I've been there for a few years. I use to praise it just as much...

But honestly, all the equipment they have, I've never used.

When it comes down to a gym I just expect solid dumbbells, enough plates, squat rack, bench and good people.

For the amount you pay at Golds I don't think its worth it.

You can get the same results at any gym. Save some coin.

[mikemhg]

Gold's isn't that expensive though, I pay $44 a month, that's $9 more than ghetto Revs. That's one meal @ McDicks a month lol.

[apl_lb]

$41/month after tax @Richmond Oval

Pros:
- Ice for those who play hockey/skate
- Big facility = don't feel crowded
- Lots of staff
- More machines then I'll ever need
- Lots of girls
- Tons more that I'm missing...

Cons:
- Parking and drop in fees are expensive if you wanna drag a friend out

[instantneedles]

Gold's isn't that expensive though, I pay $44 a month, that's $9 more than ghetto Revs. That's one meal @ McDicks a month lol.

exactly. Some guys at steve nash and goodlife pay $60/month, which, in comparison to $44 is much much better. I actually know a guy at golds that pays monthly, and isn't tied to a yearly contract, so really reconsider

[Marioo1991]

I was at Golds from 2008-2011, paid $21+tax every 2 weeks.. worked out to $50.96/mth

FW gave me my old rate of $22+tax/mth so I thought I would switch and save some coin.

I called Golds to see if they would hook me up if i switched back, but they actually raised the rate to 24+tax biweekly. $58.24/mth

Looks like i'm staying with FW

[JSilver]

Gold's isn't that expensive though, I pay $44 a month, that's $9 more than ghetto Revs. That's one meal @ McDicks a month lol.

Naw man they have new rates. I went back a month or so ago.

If I froze my account which I was paying around $36/month then I would have came back but I didn't think at the time to freeze my account.

I only left due to the traffic at that gym at the time I had to go.

I'm happy at my gym. Nothing wrong with Golds, I'm just saying it isn't THE best gym in the lower mainland.

[94supra]

any good gyms in Burnaby with good rates? looking to switch from my current one.

[hal0g0dv2]

any good gyms in Burnaby with good rates? looking to switch from my current one.

hey how old are you?? i payed 60 for mine :(

[rb]

I'm cheap. Coquitlam Aquatic Centre toonie hour. From 9:30pm til 10:30pm, drop a toonie in a bucket and you can use the gym or go for a swim. Pretty new machines and weights. Its only an hour but if you focus, you can squeeze in a good workout.

[XplicitLuder]

still think after this summer im switching to FW lol done paying 62$ a month at goodlife

[Cossack]

any good gyms in Burnaby with good rates? looking to switch from my current one.
Club16 is the cheaperst
It's somewhere $17 per month and $22 with tanning

Too bad they have sign up fee $70 but it use to be with out this when I signed up

[instantneedles]

^ok yeah, but club16 is a shit gym... (overcrowded cus the gym's pretty small for the amount of ppl that workout there) i literally walked in there, and walked back out after running my eyes across the gym. If you're talking about the one at highgate... which i'm pretty sure is the only one in burnaby... But I guess for the price you pay there, you can't really go wrong... Just gotta find the optimal times when its not busy

[Cossack]

Well yes its overcrowded sometimes , but you can't beat the price ... I go there in the morning or 1-1,5 before closing ...the only thing I don't like that it closes at 5 pm on saturday and Sunday :(

[94supra]

going to hit up golds or fw

[burn190]

fitness world
38$
and 19 buck for fitness world???? hwere can i get that deal

[jack3d]

troutlake or hillcrest lol

[JSilver]

if you want a cheap gym, don't expect good quality. If you want good quality, don't expect a cheap gym. reciprocal... tell me any of you been to a gym with the whole package?

Lol your talking to a guy who's actually been at Golds for over two years. As mentioned Club 16 is par with Golds in my opinion. Newer equipment as well. But as you also mentioned it does get packed but same with Golds.

Like I said I'm not downing the gym, just saying you won't be using every single machine in that gym for the amount you pay. And two squat racks? Come on lol. Oval has 6.

Simple gym is good enough for me.

[dvdjels]

sportscentral

25/month

pros:
-24/7 - i work 16 hour days 6 days a week so I end up in the gym at like 2 am in the morning lol
-large facility

cons:
-might just be me, but a large percentage of equipment has some sort of defect
-for sugh a large facilty, i thought ventilation wouldn't be an issue..i was wrong
-i heard there are large crowds during the day ( I never go so I wouldn't know)

all in all, unless you need a 24/7 gym, it'd be safer to look elsewhere lol

[BinsentoW]

Starting Sport central tonight. Got a 2 month pass off some groupbuy website a while back and my other gym just expired.

[docomo]

Richmond Oval

something people missed is the rock climbing wall.

anyone been to fitness 2000 in burnaby? goods and bads?

[BinsentoW]

Ive gotten the 1 year pass for $100 before there, so i know what its like.
Im doing madcow 5x5, so almost all I need is a rack and those super rare 2.5-10 lb plates.
If you see some asian guy in sweats and a white t at night, hogging lots of small plates at the squat rack, thats probably me.

[The_Situation]

anyone been to fitness 2000 in burnaby? goods and bads?

I use to go there. It's a really nice gym. Has a pool and steam room too. All the equipment is fairly new and the staff is friendly.

Dang. How much was it /mo?

[strike66]

Dang. How much was it /mo?

yeah interested to know the price as I will be moving to that area and looking for a gym. Not too keen on the Steve Nash or Goodlife on North Road.

Does it get as busy at fitness 2000 compared to those places during peak hours?

[BinsentoW]

Well, sc is worse than before. Not even enough bars to go around.
I had to lug mine around doing squats, then bench, then rows

[The_Situation]

I paid around 40 a month. IMO it doesnt get as busy as the other places. I never really waited for anything during peak hours. I think u can try it for a free.

[BrRsn]

Well, sc is worse than before. Not even enough bars to go around.
I had to lug mine around doing squats, then bench, then rows

this. not to mention people breaking bars by removing the collar to do tbar rows

[dvdjels]

^that and also don't like how they have boarded up the bumper plate area. The place looks so much smaller all of a sudden

[mr_chin]

can anyone recommend a nice gym with a swimming pool that is included in the monthly fee?

also not so crowded?

[instantneedles]

^where are you located? you willing to drive a distance to go to the gym?

most community centres have a double pool/gym access with the passes you buy with them.

[instantneedles]

btw, heard they have 160lb dumbbells @ sportscentral... lol that's like a canadian metroflex gym

[mr_chin]

^where are you located? you willing to drive a distance to go to the gym?

i live near the superstore on grandview and rupert. somewhere close would be nice, but i don't mind driving.

ps - 24/7 would be nice too.

[MelonBoy]

Maximum Core Studio - $34
- Clean + never busy before 3 and after 8..

[dvdjels]

btw, heard they have 160lb dumbbells @ sportscentral... lol that's like a canadian metroflex gym

you're right, but not many are working or secure lol

i had a plate from the 117 db drop off and then the dumbbell just fell apart after that. I almost got killed...

[ApePee2]

Had membership to both YMCA n fitness world. Looking for a new alternative in the surrey area. Any recommendations ?

[mr_chin]

went to fitness world today and signed up for a 12 month membership. total was a little less than $700 in 3 payments. after walking out i realize, that is quite expensive. i have 10 days to cancel for a full refund, which i think i'll cancel at 8 days seeing that fitness 2000 has 6 months for $199. all i'm looking for is a gym with a pool.

[Sid Vicious]

where do you guys workout in richmond?

[s3an]

where do you guys workout in richmond?

Richmond Oval!

[van_city23]

I checked out elevation fitness in surrey a couple days ago. One of the nicest/practical/useful gyms I have been to in a long time. Haven't ever been to the oval though.

[Supafly]

you're right, but not many are working or secure lol

Thompson but I'm probably switching to the oval since its the same distance (I live in 4)

I've worked out at golds which is pretty good, but too many "buddy's" work out there

I've also been to sport central in 07 and that place blows.

South Arm blows.

All the community centers except for thompson blow.

Oval is your best bet. I just wish they had a pool.

I also wished I lived by a YMCA because they do have the best and I mean best facilities i've ever seen.

[Neomop]

I just started at the Oval today. Went there with a couple buddies so they could show me the ropes (i started lifting like 4 months ago at a shitty gym without barbells).

Went with 2 friends but was still a bit intimidated by the volume of people there.

[Meowjin]

the oval has alot of peopleÉ They have like 4 squat racks.

I was gonna sign up but really upset they removed the benches for the squat rack. I`m worried that they will get mad at me for moving a bench to the squat rack for certain excersies that i do.

[lavisxice]

i go around that time usually 2-3

Summertime is dead but September shall be busy as hell.
And yes, there is no decline bench :okay:
Good quality gym though eh

[StutteR_]

Gold Gym's Richmond just gets crappier and crappier. New front desk girls every week...doesn't seem they can keep their employees.

[instantneedles]

^yeah that particular chain of gold gym's (surrey,ubc village, richmond) has a shitty owner, i'd stay away from that chain lol

Did anyone actually show up? Lol
Was that you lavisxice doing squats in the rack and rows in the back

[The_Situation]

who the hell needs a decline bench, f dat shit

Mr. Dorian Yates does

[impulseX]

steve nash sports club downtown (have access to all other locations too)
paid $950/year but got a bonus 8(?) months so it worked out to be about $40ish a month.

[heero78]

any body knows how much do you have to pay per month for Good Lift Fitness 24 hrs at Coquitlam? The one on North road. thanks!

[Supafly]

its rediculously expensive....and the equipment is meh....you can find a better gym for the same price.

[vitaminG]

I use to go there, but it was almost impossible to get in a routine and rhythm when it gets busy. Parking is a bish!

Are they still missing a decline bench?

i worked out there for years just cause its close. Y is always jam packed in the evenings like from 5 all the way till 9. no decline bench and a while back they were missing one of the OLY bars (1 of 5 total) for like 6 weeks.

finally bit the bullet and joined platinum, way less busy, way more equipment way more room, sauna is included. Competitively priced supps in their store. its 19+ so no high school kids. open till midnight weekdays and fairly late weekends too. $35/motnh no contract and $5 off for anybody you refer (so if you do join and dont konw anybody PM me!).

also i checked out elevation too, but theyre pretty expensive, like ~$50+ i think and blelieve theyre contract, pricey for no pool or sauna. Pro is that hardly anyone goes there. its just south of hwy 10 off 152, where the fedex building is. if you go south on 152 its your first right after hwy 10

[XplicitLuder]

^^ i go to Good Life Fitness..its a great gym tbh, love the environment there, most ppl who are tehre dont fuck around cept your usual here n there, friendly as hell (even the guy who looks liek he's on roids)

pros (for me)

close to home
easy to find parking underground,
24hrs
AC
not TOO busy

cons

fucking expensive
international chest monday , its packed LOL
DB's only up to 100 (i aint close to it so i shudnt complain)

im paying bout 65$ per month right now and that was on a 2yr plan..pretty much done there though, moving to a diff gym dont know where too yet...prob steve nash ( but so much further to drive, cus i dont wanna go to the lougheed one )

[etodac]

Steve Nash in Coquitlam

[instantneedles]

^pros and cons pl0x.. Im curious as to how it compares to the brentwood one

[trix4kids]

Tried out the Brentwood Steve Nash, sales was a short Asian dude pushy as fuck, basically wanted to know how much money I had to my name and had the type of look that you just wanna punch off his face. Im in sales myself and he does not know how to sell a customer. Very unhappy with the customer service, prolly will stick to ghetto revs.

[instantneedles]

^i know exactly who u are talking about.. That kid doesnt know how to sell for shit... He has this snobby attitude that just turns away potential members.. The manager there isnt very great eithr, he gives half assed explanations to the gym policies and talking in general, he always seems dazed and not give a fuck
Im so glad i ended up declining my job offer with steve nash at the kingsway location. Their company just carries such a bad name for their horrible staff....

how is it there? i've wanted to stop by and use it sometimes because of the pool :p but i haven't done that yet

How much is it at Steve Nash Richmond? The oval would be around $42/month so if they're similarly priced I'd prefer the oval.

Steve Nash in Coquitlam


+1 I am usually there 640-745 am weekdays. It is nice and quiet then.

Steve Nash Richmond is a good gym that is kept clean all the time. You will never really have any trouble finding weights but, as with any other gym, has its fair share of douche bags.

It also gets really busy around 5pm up until 730.

I paid upfront and got a pretty awesome deal which averaged out to about $30 a month.

Other than that it's a pretty decent gym.

i worked out there for years just cause its close. Y is always jam packed in the evenings like from 5 all the way till 9. no decline bench and a while back they were missing one of the OLY bars (1 of 5 total) for like 6 weeks.

finally bit the bullet and joined platinum, way less busy, way more equipment way more room, sauna is included. Competitively priced supps in their store. its 19+ so no high school kids. open till midnight weekdays and fairly late weekends too. $35/motnh no contract and $5 off for anybody you refer (so if you do join and dont konw anybody PM me!).

also i checked out elevation too, but theyre pretty expensive, like ~$50+ i think and blelieve theyre contract, pricey for no pool or sauna. Pro is that hardly anyone goes there. its just south of hwy 10 off 152, where the fedex building is. if you go south on 152 its your first right after hwy 10


Thanks for the info. I'll definitely pm if I do sign up, still seeing what other options I have. I'll probably drop in to see the try out the facility

I went to steve nash SC in downtown because I got a groupon pass before I knew I could extend my sport central pass.
They tried to get me to sign up there, but when the 2nd sales rep started talking to me and knew I went to SC, they basically gave up. $15/month vs $50/month.
I like SC more too, I dont know why. It has more of a "rocky" feel to it.
That, and nash only has one full rack. I cant do my squats low enough on the half rack.

Anyone go to BCIT gym in the morning?

i go to this gym its really good if u can hit it up early in the morning because it's basically dead... evenings are opposite. i get there around 6 - 6:30pm and it gets really packed sometimes so any kind of circuit training becomes almost impossible to do. been there for almost a year and plan on extending my membership for another

Anyone working out at Anytime Fitness?

Input on how busy it is and how's the equipment overall. It looks like they have the basic setup.
