thats pretty sweet man

**davtown** · 01-22-2006, 03:17 AM

I go to a gym, but it's really a 2-room studio with a bunch of weights in it (there's a kitchen in there too).... when I first started my trainer actually did live there, there was a bed in the corner amidst all the weights where he slept. Now he lives with his girlfriend (the other trainer at my "gym")

Pretty odd setup, but hey, whatever works

**skelooth** · 01-22-2006, 03:58 AM

i have to lift at a gym. I just have to. The very act of walking into a gym pumps me up and gets my brain ready to lift. Besides, I love having ALL the equipment I could possibley need.

Agreed, just coming close to the time brings me into believing that something great will be accomplished that day atht egym ... excitement only builds on my way there.

MCWtrainer · 01-22-2006, 12:56 PM

I workout at both my house and the gym I work at...

Drew1200 · 01-22-2006, 02:23 PM

Gym is where I'm at....it's nice to have all the equipment, spotter's whenever I need one, and girls to check out between sets. Plus I hate running, and the gym has like 10 different types of cardio machines (with tvs!) that I can sit on and just zone out.

**bigDman** · 01-22-2006, 02:39 PM

i like working out at home
because no waiting in line for equipment
you cna blast whatever music as loud as you want
no getting yelled at for getting chalk every were or droping wieghts...
and no distractions

GeordieArtois · 01-22-2006, 06:30 PM

I workout at home.

All I got is:

Recumbent bike
DB's
BB
EZ curl bar
Tri bar
Incline sit up board
Multi gym (benchpress/lat pull down/fly/leg ex/row)
Bench press
80kg of freeweights.

I like working out at home because I can WO whenever I feel like it, no waiting in line and no one laughs when I drop a bar on my throat doing incline BP.

I also don't like people watching me when I workout for some reason, but the downside is that I have no squat rack, leg press, shoulder equipment.

I lift at home and have posted my gym up before, if I am not lazy later than I might post it up again.
