ok i’m looking for a Gym to go to … i live in South buffalo so i need somethign relativley close.
i’d definatley would like something with a sauna as sitting int he sauna after i’m don’t working out is awsome but it’s not a must.
i also need something that is open wierd hours as i’m awake at wierd hours and need something to do my biggest thing.
i’d prefer something that dosen’t have a year long commitment. something shorter like 6 months as i don’t know when i’ll be leaving the area (trying to stay one last summer)
and i’d like somewhere that has a personal trainer. i know what i’m doing but i prefer someone pushing me to do more (now where would i get that from?). like a personal trainer that’s incuded with using the gym.
Just call them. Last I checked (about a year ago) Bally’s was the cheapest, and has the most equipment. If you are a an alumni of UB, that is a good option too. $150 for the year, and you have access to olympic size swimming and diving pools, basketball courts, racquetball, weights, etc.
me and a friend signed up. $118 total to start, includes first month, then $58/month. mike if u want tell me quick and i can put u on my “plan” and we all split the cost. then i can lok at you all the time all sweaty in the mirror
Golds on French/Transit is BY FAR the BEST gym i’ve ever been to/seen. Amazing layout, awesome lighting, TVs on basically EVERY piece of equipment, seperate womans only section, PTs that actually help, really nice selection of classes… runs $39/month after initial membership fees [the killer, about $300 for a single, $400 for a couple]… altogether to get started was about $500… awesome gym tho.
golds sucks. i work out in the northtowns one, and it is great for location, but that wasnt what sold me. they told me they were remodeling and that it would be done by september. i joined in may and got 4 free months, so that meant i had 1 year in a remodeled gym for about the same price as the BAC without the drive. BAC was better but golds was closer. well they are STILL remodeling, in fact they only started last month. no pool, no raquet ball, no sauna. they barely have 4 working toilets, and all of this stuff i mention is not included in the remodeling.
if ballys really has a no commitment member ship, then go far that. the one evolve is talking about is sweet. BAC southtowns is nice in the sense it is large. so even when it is crowded it isnt. but there are no pool, courts, blah etc (at least there wasnt when i worked out there a few years ago)
cliffs: golds N. towns sucks, i would bet they all do (even the one in the heart of boston sucks), ballys is sweet esp. if there is no commitment cuz thats always been their downfall. BAC is cool if you dont want the frills, but dont want the bare bones and overall shityness of golds. i heard worlds on sheridan was pretty sweet. quite a drive though.
