Commercial gymAs part of this month’s series on workout locations, Blaine takes a look at some of the pros and cons of working out at a commercial gym. Now, I’m off to find a decent one around here.

Good luck in your gym hunt! Don’t hesitate to give us a report of the options so we can help you decide. ;-) Any powerlifting gyms nearby?

No powerlifting gyms tracked down yet - health clubs only, I’m afraid. At least it’s on the ‘nice to have’ list rather than ‘essentials’ (got the basics covered in the home gym). Will keep an eye out.

If the health clubs let you bring in a few items and don’t really complain much about what you do, that’s always a plus. What gyms have you looked at so far, Scott?

Nothing worth mentioning, Alberto - health clubs only (which seem to have taken over a lot of the older gyms around here). The difference is the price - I don’t want to pay for 101 things per month if I’ll only use 1 or 2 of them.

The home gym is fine for most things, but occasionally it’d be good to have somewhere different. Preferably on a ‘pay per use’ rather than annual fee basis.
