my uncle just got me a membership to cardinal fitness and i’m used to working out in my basement at 2am so i am not used to commercial gyms. does anyone know about maybe some unusual rules that cardinal has or what would be a time of day where the gym is less crowded?
Cardinal Fitness? I sure all that flying around all day keeps them in pretty good shape.

Um, just check it out.
Ask the person at the front desk dude.
Do you really train at 2am?
Why?
if i train any earlier i am tired for the rest of the day
I tend to feel like death immediately after the workout and then feel much more refreshed during the day. Try some Surge
Cardinal fitness in a nutshell
-
No Chalk allowed (dumbest rule ever).
-
Very cheap. Only like 20.00 a month.
-
Mostly Lifefitness and Hammer Strength Equipment.
-
Only 1 squat rack, which usually has someone doing a serious 10x10 bicep curl workout in it, or maybe some shrugs.
-
Lots of idiots. It attracts a lot of novices because of the price and no contracts. Usually talking loudly about how hammered they were last night. I actually counted one day, and of the 16+ guys there at that time I was the only one without the sleeves cut off my shirt. Just wear your hat cocked sideways and hike one of your pant legs up a little and you’ll blend right in.

Its busiest from 3:30 to 8:00, just like any other gym. Mon. and Tues. are busiest, also like any other gym. Wed. thru Sat. are party nights, so the crowd thins out.
The only reason I go there is the price and the fact that there are no other options in my area.
I feel you with the late night workouts thats when my energy levels are the best too, maybe not 2am but i like it late. I also don’t like really crowded gyms and if you normally work out alone in your basement I’m guessing you don’t either so I would do on off hours. BigBen72 pretty much hit it 330-8 is going to be busy i try to get to the gym 9 or later. My gym closes at 11 so i’ll try to get there between 930-945.

Also you’re going to need to put the weights away, annoying I know but it needs to be done.
