I prefer a home gym, as I can complete my workout in the time it would take to get to/from a gym, and I can do it in bits; get up nd do some work and come back for the next set of reps...

Shalom | Very true, excellent points! Welcome to the site Shalom! Glad to have you!  
Dustin, I imagine some of us ladies like to go to Curves, the all women's gym. I know at least 2 members on here go there.

| Re: What gym do you go to?
The gym I've trained at for the last decade just closed last week. It was a privately owned club.
I was desperately searching for a new facility with no luck. Every gym in my area minimized the importance of free weight training. And they were all loaded with "boob" trainers. I couldn't stand watching them run their clients through the gauntlet of miserable training parameters.
I was about to build a home gym in my basement... had the equipment all picked and priced.
Tried one last facility this past Tuesday and bingo! It's the nicest gym I've ever stepped foot in and has everything plus more that I need.
I was also offered a job my first day there which I turned down, but it's nice to be desired.
I'm a happy camper.  | |

It is 3 floors.
First floor is devoted to machines and free weights. They have more great equipment than any gym I've seen before. The second floor is devoted to aerobic equipment. There are over 50 pieces of equipment there, and each one has it's own flat panel television attached to it. The third floor is devoted to the personal trainers, locker rooms, and studios for aerobic and spin classes.
It's quite impressive. | |

| Re: What gym do you go to?
I go to Spa Lady. It's similar to Curves in that it's a all womens gym.
I haven't gone in ages! I even moved to walking distance from it (not on purpose, but an added bonus).
I get my next year free!

I know some gyms now have women only areas.

No not woman only. I don't mind most of the time...only sometimes.
