Does Anyone Train at a Gym Such as This?

Training

Im daydreaming about the kind of gymnasium i would ideally want to have access to.

Pretty much every gym i have vistited so far is of the crappy commercial type; Acceptable area for free weights but for the most part completely clogged and constipated with machines and cardio equipment.

Dont take me the wrong way, i realize that if you are the owner of a commercial gym, having a bunch of shiny expensive looking stuff is the best way to get new customers and make money.

When i think of the ideal gym to train at i think of something along the lines of an upscale athletic training complex. This is what i would want for the most part :

-Squat racks. Tall. Knurled straight bar at the top for chins and stuff.
-Oly bars with a selection of fancy colored bumper weight plates.
-Dumbell and kettlebell selection up to decent weights

-Selection of blocks for exercise variation (snatch/cleans off blocks)
-Plyo boxes
-Weight sleds and tractor tires
-Medicine balls
-climbing rope
-gymnastics rings

-Indoor astro-turf field. At least 50x50 yards.

If you are someone who more or less has access to all of this stuff , where the hell are you at ?

No astro turf, because that’s a fairly ridiculous request to make for almost any gym outside of those made specifically for professional athletes. However, my gym has pretty much everything you want, including the winner of the Mr. Olympia Show… Phil Heath. Several other industry elites, from fitness, bikini, and BB’ers of all types also train there. It’s a fucking fantastic place to be if you’re in the area.

there are a few of those around my area. none are the large commercial gyms. they are all small gyms that only get powerlifters, strongmen, etc.

i workout at one that is in some guys 2 car garage. he has a better setup and more equipment to get your strong than most commercial gyms.

My gym has an astroturf area and a track center. And all of the pretty bumper plates, plyo-boxes galore, dumbbells up the wazzooo…etc etc… oh and a cafe upstairs . I could basically LIVE at this gym.

MetroFlex LBC has basically all of that and more. 200lb DB’s, 100+ pound KB’s, Prowlers, Sleds, Tires, Sledge Hammers, Bumper Plates, rope climb, rock wall… We have it all.
