Gym closed! Mind open?

The Koloseum in Fullerton, CA closed (they were evicted) on Dec. 15th. This was one of the only bodybuilding/powerlifting gyms left in Orange County. I had to join 24 hour fitness with my lifting buddy and it sucks. It's not that bad becuase the weightroom is upstairs, but I fuckin HATE the atmosphere here. There is one power rack, no deadlift rack and the music is constantly hip hop crap.

Bodybuilding and powerlifting are dying breeds.

I need to open up a gym....

Those giant corpo "Globo" style gyms are a joke. I almost got a job at an Urban Active gym doing the high pressure tactic membersip selling. It would have been good money, but I didnt feel comfortable the minute I walked in the door for the interview.

You gotta find a small personal gym. A mom and pop place. Even if you have to drive an extra few minutes, its worth it.

I go to a local YMCA. It is a good balance between the two. It feels more homey. But then again, I'm not a BB. If I was I would go to Powershack here in GC.

My local place like that got closed down a few years back, and I can't stomach any of the other places around
