found a great little gym tucked away in the local city pool. It's never and I mean never used (at least during the week). I've been there at 6 am and 5:30 pm....at 6 am is just the cardio folk and no one's doing weights and at night there was maybe one or 2 guys tops. No wait, no fuss no muss. :tucool:

It's missing a power cage....so I have to improvise a little with the angled rack they have there....so much for going to failure on the bench ditto on the squat (maybe, not sure yet). It's similar to this minus the saftey's:

Just started doing suspended squats in the half rack....which really sucks....but it a good sucks :D (trying to improve my performance in the hole by bringing up my glutes and hams). Harder to do when you can't rely on pins to catch you.

PLus some equipment I don't have...like roman chairs, leg press....the rest fits my routine pretty well.

All in all this solves my what to do in -40C weather (since my home gym is in the garage).

:tu:

I think the price isn't bad for 3 months unlimited pass....$94 canuck dollars.

My guess why it's so unused....it's not as flashy as the Y up the street or the hard core gyms in the area....hey, so long as it has free weights and I have pretty much no wait for anything....I'm not gonna complain!

good deal all around....nice find.

Very nice find! I can't believe their rack doesnt have safeties... seems rather pointless. I grew up squating on a rack just like the one pictured and I loved it! I did all it had to, but without the feeling of being in a cage. The only thing I didn't like was the extra 6-8 inches you had to step back to clear the lower pegs before you started squatting.

$1 a day CDN money isn't bad at all.... silly loonies.

Yeah, especially for a city run gym :confused:

Hey I'll take what I can get....it's only 3 months or so....just to get me through the cold snap that is Late December, January and February. Then, by March I can probably just return to my home "ghetto" gym. I really wanted to do a Rocky IV style old school hard core workout ....but damn....prairie winters get cold....and I guess I'm wimping out....that and all the long underwear would severely limit my range of motion :lol:

Hey, if you want "Rocky" then do the high steppin' jog thru the 3 feet of snow, run until you cause a car to drive into a snowbank, and climb a mountain (you might have to go to AB for this one...) :tu:
