Gents there is a distinct possibility that I will be relocating from Detroit to the warmer climates of Atlanta, GA. I figure there must be some among us who live in Atlanta or have experience with gyms in there. Now I must warn you I’m very particular about where I will ‘workout’: there needs to be lots of cardio machines, a snack bar, a place to read the paper and talk on my cell phone and no grunting! Plus I like the decor to be in pastels.
Ok, I’m being sarcastic. My true must haves are: Squat racks, free weights that go up to at least 150, a good pull up bar, solid benches (has all its bolts and welds, I’ve had a bad experience)and a staff that understands the difference between ‘working out’ and training.
Now I was spoiled here in Detroit and paid $17.50 per month and understand if I’ll have to pay more but I would still like to minimize the damage (I’ve heard of this Crossfit place that charges $150 per month plus initiation fees!).
If anyone has some good suggestions please let me know. I really hope to be down there by mid April, God willing!
