these are fricking huge. I've been to 24 hour fitnesses only and they're pathetic. at most 1 of each machine, missing most of them, and up to 2 flat benches, 1 incline, 1-0 decline, 2 squat racks...
more like 750 as you get 1EUR discount each time you workout
I also get free coffee, free protein shakes and a hassle free environment to lift, which is invaluable
we go to our gyms 5-10 hours a week bros, its most likely the "third place" for most of us, a lil investment doesnt hurt
is that supposedly to be a lot? 90€/month is literally nothing. employees usually offer benefits so you pay like half of it. really if you have a job and this somehow affects your finances on ANY level you seriously have more pressing matters in your life than getting the physique you want.
i mean i might go and play a round of golf and the green fee of ONE ROUND, get it. ONE (1), SINGULAR round for 4h of fun might be 200-300€. then you get a car and eat at the club etc and its another 50-100€-
"Strive tenaciously with all your might - Win glory for the country"
"Win glory for the country" is a concept deeply ingrained in the Chinese mentality, and the phrase is used pretty often by Xi Jinping.
It's kinda cool when you think about that the exertion when athletically conditioning your body, and the struggle you face when trying to build muscle, are both applauded to such a high degree as to be likened to bringing glory to your entire country.
the issue is, this level of commitment also requires you to like your entire country, which usualy isnt feasible as you either see other half as morons or elite cattle, depending on whichever side of the equilibrium you are on

I'm pretty lucky to have one of the nicer YMCA's on my side of town. The free weights area is pretty open, lots of natural light too. I've been to other YMCA's in town, they are identical to yours in picrel.
Honestly I kinda don't mind it - it makes me feel like I'm at square one and gotta work my way up in life and society again. The gritty plainness of this aesthetic keeps me focused.

Oh--and the fricking fan in the back LMAO. Gotta dilute that pajeet stink somehow!
I hope whoever this kid was recovered if he ever wandered onto this corner of the internet. He looks insecure as shit and imagine being made into a meme like that.
Holy shit I almost threw my phone at the wall again
This pic makes me so fricking angry. Can't believe he didn't get arrested for this shit. Injustice is everywhere
Couldn't find a picture of my current gym, so here's my old university gym/rec center
These photos -are making me sad and nostalgic >Center was massive with an abundance of machines >Dedicated weightlifting sections >Indoor running track suspended at the top floor >basketball and volleyball courts inside and outside >Tons of cute college girls there all hours of the day >A smoothie/health food bar at the entrance >really good lighting by all the mirrors
I want to go back. No gym has been able to top this gym experience for me yet.
Is this the uk?
Yeah Wirral
I have never been to the uk but the mike thurston haircuts gave it away
You can easily spot Brits by their weird clothing and shitty haircuts/dysgenic faces
There’s an entire archetype of these type of people in the UK, see below:
?si=uk2Uy3N09TMKlbvW
What gym is that? Does it ever fill up? I'm on the wirral but I homegym with occasional public gyms when working away
Sure
cool window but where are the weights
From that angle you cant see them
That is also an older pic, we have alot more weight lifting stations now and its great

Soul but feminine
Iron Mecca, mirin
Kinda apt since people today are Godless homosexuals who literally worship fitness.

I feel like if this thread stays up long enough someone will know where this is or will come out as a regular
Why pay 80 euros to be around metropolitan people in an exclave reserve inside the netherlands.

I could easily pound 1000 euros of protein per year. I probably spend more than that now.

oh shit lol, guessed it was something like that
I'm turkish and even we dont have ataturk's sayings on fricking gym walls
though compared to more liberal posters I understand and dont avidly hate this nationalism-focused living mentality, its OK

top tier australian gym
>no spotter arms on racks
Why?
The floors are clearly set up for the weights to be dropped on them, so you can just bail. Literally no need for pins.
which Revo is this?
mirrabooka my boy
are those.... all squat racks on the right ? frick this I'm moving to the based norf
Yeah, I paid 350 for two years membership as well so pretty cheap imo
I'd be fricking disturbed if someone posted my gym on here.
>tfw in big city with terrible options for gyms
>everything is either classes-only or cheap chain gym that has 5x too many people
legit jealous
for a dollar per entry its the only gym i frequent to
Couldn't find a picture of my current gym, so here's my old university gym/rec center

It's a good gym though, never crowded except maybe at Monday+Tuesday 5pm-9pm.
More often than not I'm training alone or with max 5 other people in the gym.
