My gym not being very close to my house is starting to get on my nerves. If I'm not going there on my way home from work, it's just a pain to drive there. On top of that, they have two separate rooms, and the cage I use to lift in is in the corner of the room where classes are held. This room is closed at 4pm and no one is allowed in for the rest of the day, so if I'm in there after 4pm, I'm s**t out of luck. The rest of the gym is crowded and mostly machines, which I don't use. Up to this point, I've made it work because I get off at 2:30, and am there by 3 and out by 4, but now, it looks like my job is being relocated across town and my hours are going to change from 6-2:30 to 7-4, as soon as Monday. I also can't just go out and change gyms, because there no more "real" gyms around here. There is one, but it's tiny with too much equipment and too many guys in there. When crowded, you barely walk through the place, and that's not an exaggeration. Besides that, all the other "gyms" around here are cookie cutter chain gyms(American Family, Golds, Planet Fitness, ect) with little to no free weights. There is one opening around the corner from my house that claims they will have a good free weight selection, but they are taking forever to set up. Let's put it this way, in December, they said would be open in February. In February they said April and in April they said June. They are "open" now, but they aren't rushing to get their free weights in there, because that's not where they're making they're money. They're making their money from everybody who wants to watch HD tv while they're on the treadmill. My main problem is the lack of space to set up a home gym so I don't have to depend on anybody else being open to get my workout in. I won't be in the market for another house for at least 2 years. It's really quite annoying, as you can see by the aforementioned rant.
