Question about gyms, /fit/. I did about a week and a half of running outside after three or so months of treadmill when it broke, and I came to the conclusion that I fucking hate running outside. So, I am deciding to join a gym. What is a good gym to go to, though? I know of an LA Fitness thats close, and pretty heug too. There's also a Gold's Gym not too far, but I heard they're costly. Should I go with LA Fitness? Also, they admit underageb&, right?

Oh, forgot to ask. Is membership cheap?

Best option?

Do a trial

You'd figure out what types of people go there and if the equipment is to your liking.

Stressing the types of people you will be with.

you hate running outside because it's harder than running on a treadmill


face it, you will never change a thing about your life if you always take the easy way out

NO.

Don't do LA Fitness.

If all you're wanting to do is run then find a rec center or buy a treadmill. I checked out LA and their bare minimum was $30 a month. The rec center I used to go to cost $85 a year, and that included full access to the pool, weight room, track and b-ball courts.

I'll probably do things other than the treadmill if I have access to them...

also, fuck you. I hate running outside because of allergies, terrible air, and I also miss watching TV. I've lost a shit ton of weight by using a treadmill, and I think I'll do fine when I start using one again.

just because it's harder to do doesn't mean it's better

it's the same damn thing

treadmill is superior you can add incline, resistance (though personally I like ellipticals)

plus you won't be bored since you can have a TV infront of you.

I also hate running outside, air is suffocating at times. Full of car noises. You have to find a route where there are less people. Shitty sidewalks could trip you. If you do it at night, you'll have a chance to get mugged.

that's not what i meant


you're right about them being the same thing if we're just counting calories lost or something similar

But running on a treadmill doesn't even nearly stress your muscles as much as running outside does. If you also want to get faster and/or stronger, running outside is better.

is it really?

the only pro I see from running outside is legs being a little more resistant to shocks

also when you're overweight running manually will kill your joints

running is only bad for your joints if you have a pre-existing joint problem. like arthritis. shut the fuck up.

It's not the same. When you run on a treadmill the conveyor moves you back for you and you're essentially just throwing your feet up and down. When you run outside or on a track you have to push your body against the ground to propel yourself forward. Unless you're fat and out of shape or have joint problems it's pretty much always more beneficial to actually run.

ELLIPTICAL IS THE BEST

OP here. I'm probably going to use ellipticals more than treadmill. The upper body it does it better, isn't it?

I went to the LA Fitness to look around. Also got an alright offer.

But shit, no TV's in the cardio machines? What the hell? It's the year 2008, god damn it. I went to my brother's crappy apartment gym, and their shit had TV's too. Fuck, I dunno if I should join or not. Apparently, there is a Gold's Gym that opened up like a month ago thats really heug, and I bet they would have cool shit, but it's 10 miles away...
