just outside Buffalo, NY....train at Golds and we just got all brand new equipment. I'm in heaven!!!......now the feds can find us easier and take away our muscletech supplements.
I guess I am stuck with 24hr fitness. PB is too far of a drive with traffic. The new gym in carlsbad is called pure fitness. it is basically another 24hr fitness. I think it is time to look into opening up a small private hardcore gym in north county. It is kinda of funny how so cal is suppose to be the land of bodybuilders and such, but there are more hardcore gyms where I am originally from in New jersey.
The "ARC" at SDSU is OK...The weight room isn't huge but it's OK...Used to go there a few years back...not sure how good it is now.
It pretty much depends on which 24hr you go to...Some have all the new stuff but not the good power rack or other things...I train at 2 different ones.
Not sure about the harder one's you were asking about...
