Is a "premium" gym worth the commute?>Be me>Currently in my home gym>I have some Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells, a fine bench and a pull&dips bars>A really good gym is going to open in november "near" me>If I want to go there the commute will be 30 min >The gym will be in some kind of industrial area, so it will attract mainly people from nearby small villages etc, no niggers (also due to the price of 40 € per month)I really really don't know what to do, if I go there I fear that the commute will kill me and that I'll regret selling my own equipment (that cost me 1k)What would you do frens?
I go to Equinox just to avoid blue collar meathead retards and niggers/brownies
>30m commute>480€/yryou're almost certainly better off with the home gym. add gas to the membership price and you're paying thousands that could be spent on a sweet rack + barbell setup or whatever else you wantjust walk in when it opens and say you're thinking of getting a membership. they'll let you use all the machines and weights for a day for free
>>76712829And for the commute? Isn't 30 min too long?
>>76712829I'm going to the equinox so i can sucker punch yo white azz
>>76712866My commute is like 15min one way, i'm in NYC. I don't think 30min is too long>>76712875no niggz in my Equinox ;)
>>76712827premium gyms are awesome i only go to the gym once a week and do a very hard full body workout with dropsetsI've been consistently gaining strength and size on it and after it I'm so mega drained and destroyed because of the intensity that the hot nice showers, the sauna, the pool everything it's just like a spa day, the massage guys are muscular the massage girls are cute and right next to it you have a nice restaurant to eat.Saturday morning is gym+ spa day for me and my wife
>>76712866if you end up loving the gym you'll drive the 30 minutes.t. former Equinox member
Premium gym would be a gym with little girls training their asses in tiny clothes. There are no such pedo gyms.
>>76712878im sending all the swole niggas in nyc to beat your asss
>>76712916Statistically speaking niggers are the fatest and unhealthiest group in the US
>>76712930to be fair black guys are average, a little less obese than mexicans and whites. the black women just destroy the statistics
>>76712958white background because that's unreadable on dark themes
>>76712958Why are the women (if you consider them as human off course) so fat? They have an IQ that is similar to the men (so their impulse control and every other factors that influence your chances of being fat is the same)

Bro, just try the gym out for a few days/weeks while keeping your home equipment. See if you're allowed to get a 1 month membership or a few pay per day sessions. You will be able to make a clear decision by then.
>>76712827What’s the gyms opening? You already have a good base home gym, I’d just have both if you can afford it.
>>76713295*name/brand of gym
>>76713295ThisHome gyms are really just meant to be an accessory to your regular gym you go to. Meant for doing a light workout when you can't make it to the gym or just busting out a few sets to exert some extra energy.It wasn't until the pandemic that people went full autist on home gyms like picrel.
>>76713322I’m >>76713295 and have one of those semi-autist home gyms. I think they’re viable if people are willing to accept compromises>you’re basically doing squats and hinges for legs, no room for any dedicated leg machines and most home gym extensions/curls suck>exercise monotony over time>spend lots of time setting things up and taking them down again>more convenience of home, but less convenience bc no machines.>the commercial gym (if it’s good) will always have more optionsThis is why I have both. I had it before the pandemic but agree that the home gym scene has gone a little overboard—you’ve got tons of influencers in that space now trying to evangelize people into putting Prime leg presses in their garage, etc. The whole thing has gotten way too consumerist to the point where people seem more into collecting equipment than the training (ie Coop)
>>76712827check out what equipment they have.skip if it has matrix, hoist, and precor.if it's composed of mostly Prime, Panatta, Gym80, Nautilus (refurbs), Hammer Strength, Newtech, Atlantis, Watson, Arsenal, Cybex, then you are in for a real treat. such gym in US would cost you $150-200++/month.
>>76713460Sincerely thanks frenIs it really such a big deal? I'm in my home gym since 2023 and before that I went for a year in a shity basic fit that had exactly the kind of machines that you described (mainly Matrix)AM I going to come on myself when trying a Hammer Strength press or something?
>>76712827I don't know how premium we are talking here but I was in a posh gym with a friend once and it was just weird, everything was pristine, looked like you are almost not supposed to touch it, it all felt like we are lifting in a hotel lobby
>>76713485From what I understood here we're just talking about a gym with great equipment and that will try to target upper middle-class people (doctors, people with their own business nearby etc), mainly for avoiding the non-whites and other people that create a shity atmosphere
>>76713480>AM I going to come on myself when trying a Hammer Strength press or something?if this was 2005-2010ish, yes. nowadays? there are so many godlike chest press machines. i still like the HS pla8ed incline press and the incline MTS chest press. good enough, but all of the brands i mentioned make juicy money chest press machines.I should mention that you will grow chest with any machines, even the shittest ones. you can brute force your way to get juicy ass chest, but it's the lats that are hard to grow and are divided in multi-steps compared to simple A to B pressing. This is where expensive machines kick in the best. Both panatta and newtech just nail your lats from top to bottom with thir high rows and pull down machines. the prime seated row and the panatta circular row just add thickness to your back to complete the 3D look. growing your lats have never been this easy.all the top dogs at this year's olympia use the finest machines mentioned above. the #1 guy (i think it's gonna be hadi) exclusively uses panatta in his gym and also in haney rambod's gym in the US. the gyms that are panatta official usually have invested $4-5 millions USD easily.
>>76712970>why are the women so fatBecause they are poor, and black culture accepts being fat more than some other cultures (product of poverty + black women store fat in areas considered attractive to black men, see the term 'southern thick'). In my experience, you see less fat black women in middle and upper class black areas.
>>76713580>Because they're poorI absolutely never understood this shit, in Europe and I believe everywhere else being poor actually mean not having enough money to go to any fast food (and even less several time per week or day) Here absolutely any meal that you can get at at any fast food is AT LEAST 10 €, and these meal are usually never above 1.000-1.500 calsThe same for the products that you buy in any supermarkets, people that pretend that the poor are fat because they eat more junk were never poo>Compare the price of an actual Kilo of Rice, potatoes and any junks
>>76712827I don't think I'd go to any gym if it was 30 minutes away. I'd just make excuses or some shit so I didn't have to drive. Also I don't really fuck around at the gym, maybe 45 min in and out unless I'm using amenities, so that would more than double my current time investment in each gym trip.I do go to a premium gym because I like having shit that works, racked weights, and the other shit like dry/wet sauna and so on. It's just that it's 5 minutes from my house.
>>76712970>hey have an IQ that is similar to the men (so their impulse control and every other factors that influence your chances of being fat is the same)They actually don't - the biggest redpill in the world is that women are far stupider compared to the average male which explains most of their behaviour. Most female behaviour is low IQ behaviour. For example:>https://www.nm.org/healthbeat/healthy-tips/battle-of-the-brain-men-vs-women-infographic>Although the male brain is 10 percent larger than the female brain, it does not impact intelligence.Also look at this cope>"it does not impact intelligence"Lmao, lol even
>>76712827Is an investment worth more than renting or loaning? There's your answer
>>76713596>in EuropeYou see, in America, the poorer you are, the fatter you are. Poor communities have less grocery stores where they can get healthy food. In these places the only food available is high caloric junk food at your local bodegas and family dollar stores. There are places here where coca cola is cheaper than water. People here also don't walk around like they do in Europe, so they get less exercise. Poor people are more drawn to junk food as well since they usually work more jobs, and prioritize convenience when they come home exhausted.
>>76712827>I have some Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells, a fine bench and a pull&dips barsYou don't even need more than this to build a great physique, why would you go to a gym? You can perform your workouts whenever you want, for how long you want, at home, take breaks whenever you want and how long you want, nobody will be using a machine that you wanted to use that day, and 30 minutes to go there workout and 30 minutes back again, thats an hour in which you could have already performed a great workout at home, time wasted imo, I love working out from my home and have not skipped a single workout session because of it
>>76713460>>76713480>>76713526>matrix, hoist, and precorI will give precor and hoist some props bc some of their older pieces are great. I’ve never enjoyed a matrix machine. Basically these things are in the big, cheap globogyms we all know about. Avoid.>primePerfect except for a few pieces. The seated row everyone gushes about has linkage issues that make it impossibly hard at the beginning. Otherwise so, so excellent.>PanattaSome great pieces like their multi-presses but overpriced>AtlantisSame>NautilusI love their pulldowns. Actually the old chain driven ones are pretty great as well.>ArsenalHyped. They have a few truly great pieces but often their machines are done better by Atlantis, prime, etc.>CybexOlder stuff better>gym80, WatsonNever tried>NewtechHow are they? I’ve only tried a couple M-Torture machines on a trip and they were good. Gigantic footprint for those machines, though.>Hammer Strength in 2025Solid but they haven’t changed their designs in decades and have been surpassed imo. But at one time they were the goat as evidenced by every half-ass gym having a bunch of used HS equipment and trying to pass it off as the best still.
>>76712829based
>>76713614Gonna be devil's advocate here,>Also look at this copeIt is true that men have a larger brain. Women compensate by having higher cortical thickness, which is associated with a greater synaptic density and a greater resistance against cognitive decline (like Alzheimer's) and intelligence. Women also compensate with more brain folds in the cerebral cortex. Women also have more active brains than men on average, and have more vivid, longer memories
>>76713645Help me out bros, what lifts do I need to do to replace every single shirt my wife owns with these high-cut crotch-snap things?
>>76714221Just talk to her, and convince her to buy one
>>76714049>and have more vivid, longer memoriesThat explains why cunts can't let things go, ever if they happened decades ago.
>>76713580>>76713645Black women have kids early so they get fat after having kids like latinas
>>76714706Premium gyms should have little girls to train with and fuck. In Cambodia.
>>76714813Why can't pedophiles stay quiet about how they want to rape children? No one wants to hear that
>>76714706Yeah, that's also a poverty thing
>>76714813They do, but you're not rich enough to go to those gyms.
>>76714911can i join. im rich. i drive lambo.
>>76714930Become a youth pastor, you'll be able to do the same thing without lifting
>>76714981Thaks
>>76712827If you wanna meet women go get a job at a grocery store
>>76715102why, i dont see any young women at grocery store
>>76712827You would want to be doing cables more often than freeweights, but its worth it to get to use the nice equipment at all. Id just adjust form etc like prison reps to use freeweights like machines and come up with formhacks like preacher curl on the barbell or rdflies on the incline bench.
>>76715106They cant cook and dont mind spending more on food? Try the whole foods its obvious their nutrition is on point and dudes are meatheads, its the balance of life. Without my wife id probably be on skid row wearing panties and walking around with a big wide butthole.
>>76715124ill try whole foods but i only saw boomers last time i went and everyone was dyel>Without my wife id probably be on skid row wearing panties and walking around with a big wide butthole.average white boy
>>76712827I pay $120/mo for a gym that is empty (like 2 other people there), is 24 hours, and has every kind of machine and shit imaginable. I used to pay $20/mo for a place that had old equipment but it was packed at all times and wasn't 24/7.The extra $100 is well worth it to basically have a private gym. I used to live in Japan where when I got tired of the $3/day ward gyms I was paying $350/mo for Gold's.So $120/mo feels cheap to me, $4/day for a huge place with no other people there. Can't really put a price on health, and I no longer dread going during "peak" hours or waiting on machines or trying to get there right before close or waiting for the AM open.
>>76715280what you do for work
>>76715309I'm a physicist and also trade securities
>>76715120how do you know what i want fucking nigger dont let me see you giving me uncircumcised advice again
>>76715280In one year you could afford a decent home gym set up. After year two you can get any machine you wanted, or two
>>76715384I really should get paid for this shit
>>76715353what are some money tips?
>>76715142Even the second hand clothing shop, apple store, mall food court, coffee shop, or sushi roller is a solid choice.More than half of businesses are centered around the wants and desires of women and you want to go to the ones single women can afford unless bullmaxxing.
>>76715451>ill order my groceries and clothes online and return themAlready one step ahead of you. Theyre gonna go to a bar or club at some point, or just use tinder or whatever. So become the man bitches want to fuck. Never good to go slutty as theyll still give it a go even if not so its basically a win win for them. Ya know like what if the woman of your dreams is trying to hide from you? Shell be happy at the end of the day so you can means justify the endsmax so the bitches will fuck you.
>>76712829Have fun, im rich and hang out at the gym when the young people are there. This is part of the business model.
>>76714049Who is the control group? Are you arguing women are smarter than men? At what raising children? You cant just post blatant lies you have to be a little more conniving to put people on your list good sir.
>>76713645Not gonna outright claim you're lying...but how? They can't get basics like oats, milk, protein powder, chicken, rice, eggs, etc? I thought you could order anything online in America and get it to your house that day.
>>76714049Yeah, you don't exactly need 'science' to know that women are way better at some things on average than men and way worse at others. It's like black people, they are obviously incredibly stupid but at the same time, quite good at talking.
>>76713322Pretty good idea actually. I could probably do with a set of dumbbells at home to supplement.
>>76714826I want you to hear that. You know pedo = normal?>>76714911Is this true? Now I have reason to become rich.
>>76715572women arent better than men at anything. there is a slight bump where they are superior in some aspects of intelligence between 8-12 years old but this is merely because they hit puberty earlier and develop faster.Men are better in everything. the "women are better in languages!" is also fake. libtards don't like how some things in life aren't balances. they think there always have to be positives and negatives, and cannot comprehend that certain things have no upside... well, there is ONE thing women can do that men cannot, and that is creating life. That's it.
>>76714049this "study" was fake as shit with no control and cherry picked people. fuck you libtard, go back.
>>76712827Youll find old ladies and women who want to find their own way to meet men or have morphed into lesbians like those dudechick fish.
I went to a like $40 a month gym and it was fine, there were entertaining weirdos and a decent amount of Stacy's and weirdo roiders to observe. The reason I started paying $260 more a month and traveling 10 minutes farther away was the "Floor Wallower". He would wallow around on the floor in the steam room getting everyones sweat and the accumulated condensation all over him and he would walk in and out so much that the steam always all escaped. Nobody ever said anything to him about it, he had a full sized Pennywise tattoo on his back and he would sometimes lay on the drain in the middle of the steam room and turn on the spigit that the staff used to clean the room and allow water to accumulate around him. The breaking point for me was when he brought who I assume is his son into the steam room to teach him to floor wallow.
>>76717345>floor wallowerlol. This right here is why I pay $100/month to go to an actually cool gym. Avoiding retards and going to a gym where people take training seriously are like steroids for your performance. And yes, I have the home gym, too: it’s nice, and I have a plenty big house, but there was just no other place to put it except a single garage bay because most homes in America are older and people didn’t build with home gyms in mind back then. Belonging to a awesome gym for about $3/day seems like a very reasonable complement to my home setup.
>>76717310In my experience there's two kinds of lesbians. The fat ugly ones who could never get male attention, and the exhibitionists or lipstick lesbians. The latter kind of lesbian is actually easier to fuck than a so called "straight" girls. Because even hot lesbos tend to have dead bedrooms and need some dick. Your best case scenario with these are being the in between which is essentially just a dick they share. It's a pretty sweet setup if you can get into it. I don't know how this applies to your comment, but I just thought I would share.
>>76715564Don't take what he says seriously, American leftists and Jewish media have come up with all sorts of elaborate nonsense excuses as to why Blacks fail at everything and are violent criminals. "Poor people in the inner-city" is a euphemism for Blacks.
>>76712827Idk about you but I tried something similar with a ~20 min bike commute through a part of town I didn't really like or vibe with, and I only went to the gym twice then never again lol.If the 30 minutes is one-way commute then that'd be an hour you'd be losing every time you go work out, and that's if you do go - possibly you could feel like not going because of the commute.I personally like commuting to a gym a little bit because it gets me out of the house and transfers me into a dedicated workout space, but it's like 20-30 minutes of walking so it feels productive and I get fresh air and more movement. If yours were to be driving then I'd say that is too much. Also industrial area sounds like the scenery or air won't be very nice (if it's walking).Just try it out for a bit and see, but don't get over-ambitious, having a good nearby gym is better than a perfect far Away one imo.
I pay for my local lifetime fitness and it's nice. There are a lot of /fit/ people though
>>76712827First you should be aware of the actual reasons to join a gym:- social interaction- luxury optioneelIf youre purely there for the workout youmight as well stick to your home gym. The only people who really need a gym parels for workout reasons are people with very specific demand, like bodybuilders or professional athletes.
