City gyms turned into a fashion show with IG models wearing butt leggings or whatever they're called. Using the treadmill in front of you when all the other ones are open so you can peep the buttcheeks. I'm here to workout not hop in the bangbus. Then you got dudes trying to bro you up like lemme get at the weights big dawg I'm not here to join your pickleball team. Reception running out of towels and shyt.. I'm good.

Sounds like hell.

A 24 hour gym is not standard.

Uncleanliness is a problem.

Rules have to exist. A lot of them aren't followed anyway.

Most gyms have pull up bars and dip stations. If that's not enough you're wasting money at the gym and need to exercise at the park.

Yep, the only good gyms left are usually the ones in the University, equipment wise.


The problem is the clientele changed in the last few years. I hardly ever see big dudes at the gym, its mostly the "weekend warriors" or the women who "work their glutes".

10 years ago you would see real bodybuilders type, strength lifters with note pads and cliches of girls who respected the gym and the atmosphere of everything.

Now its just a bunch of wannabes willing to pay 70+ a month.

In the vast majority of gyms the bodybuilder is uncommon if not rare.

yes nowadays. but 10 years ago it was very common to see a massive dude at the gym, because gyms then weren't as common. But once the flood gate opened serious lifters left.

I wasn't in the gym 10 years ago, but I was 7 years ago. That person was uncommon, or like you said, was a singular person. But I'm also not in gyms at the $70 price point you mentioned and never will be.

Chicago Xsport is a serious gym that's starting to spread to other states. 24 hours, good spread of equipment, decent community. It feels like what I heard LA Fitness/Bally's was in the 90's.

Besides not being open 24 hours, I don't have the problems at the Y I go to.
