Hey hey- Wondering what gyms you've experienced in the twin cities. I've been considering just getting a membership at community gyms for St Paul but we'll see what their equipment is like. Thanks, dude, you're my favorite.

thenorthpace -

Hey! I’ve only been to a few gyms. I started at Planet Fitness years ago and it was fun, but they have very limited weights equipment so I switched. My current gym is Xperience Fitness in Brooklyn Park, and I really lucked out with that one. Like yeah it’s a little dude-ish, but the membership is $20/month and that gets you unlimited classes, a pool/hot tub/sauna, massage beds and tanning if you’re into that stuff. Best of all, they have real weights equipment. Definitely acceptable for free weight training and powerlifting, although not good for Oly or Crossfit obviously because no bumper plates and limited space. There is one in Woodbury if that’s anywhere near you. 

Otherwise, I’ve been to the standard chain gyms - LA Fitness, Lifetime, they’re all pretty much the same, really expensive and the attitude is not to my liking. Anytime Fitness is a little better, I think membership is $30/month and they do generally have squat racks/Oly bars, so it’s an option to look into.

Oh and just a mention that no matter where you go, some trainers are probably going to harass (solicit) you for a bit at first, but you literally have no obligation whatsoever to train with anyone if you don’t want to. (Seriously my least favorite part of all gyms ever.)
