Need help finding a good gym in Mobile...

[AP13]

Have a young pal in Mobile, AL mention to me he was looking at Planet Fitness. He's been lifting for about a yr and is a motivated guy...He would fit in much better at a more BB/PL friendly gym. Any help finding one down there would be appreciated. TIA.

I'm interested as well as I will be attending USA in mobile shortly in pursuit of a doctorate of pharmacy degree. So I would love to know which gyms a more BBer type should avoid and which he/she might like more. Thanks guys. I've been training for 3-4 now and have been unders phils guidance for around 10 months now. Was 145 lbs and over there years have gotten to 190 lean, abs visible, christmas tree visible, bf% i don't know never got it tested. I'm 5'7" btw. So I definitely and motived and love to train. It would be awesome to find a gym that was more BB/PW friendly ya know. I'm not sure how the university's gym would be other than it would be free but id rather pay for a gym if it was better.

Planet Fitness is decient , as is the WorldGym on government steet. Jason's Fitness wasent to bad and they put on the Heart of Dixi bodybuilding show which is a pretty well run deal.

I havent been their in a while but im sure that their is a shit load of anytime fitness type places.

Mobile is a pretty cool city if you can get past all the pussy frat boys that think their King Kong or gods gift to MMA

:ort-smiYou might want to consider the YMCA. There are several of them up here
in Birmingham. Some aren't as good as others ( as far as free weight
selection) but some of them have alot of great stuff. Here's their web
site down in Mobile.

Hey guys. I live in Mobile and after being a member at most, including southern fitness. I think Omni health and fitness would probably be your best bet. HUGE gym, at least 2 if not 3 of the same machines, racks, hammer strength stuff so you never have to wait. Think the dumbells go up to 150lbs. Its nice! Dont know if your into to cardio but it has a cardio cinema room where they have a current movie on big screen in a cardio room blacked out. Its located in the fresh market plaza on Airport Blvd @ Azalea. I know I sound like I work there but i actually work out at Southern fitness now.

yes I also trained at omni for a few years. moved some heavy weight there and never felt
that people had a problem with me usin the heavier wieght. I remember a few times maxin
out thier leg press (think I almost killed it) and no one ever complained. I tried that at pf and when I came in the next day the staff had taken off the lower bars so I couldnt go as
heavy. so omni is def a good gym except db only go to 120
southern fitness has the 150
