Where do you guys lift?

I've probably asked this before, but I'm curious what types of gyms you guys work out at. There are so few gyms here that I'm stuck at a place that really isn't geared to bodybuilders, powerlifters, etc. Worst part of my gym (besides the creampuffs that go there and shitty music) are the dumbbells which only go up to 80 pounds. Bent over rows, shrugs, any chest workout are really limited because of this.

i train at my local Powerhouse... after hours usually. really depends on my daily schedule. the place is huge. its basically just a warehouse in an industrial park. every piece of equipment and machine you could think of. and the dumbells go up to 180.

the place shuts down at 11pm. my friend works there every night until close so we kick everyone out, crank up some heavy fucking metal, and get down to business without distraction. afterward we sit at the shake bar they have there and drink free protein shakes.

my buddy is all natural and competes very regularly. easily the biggest natural bber i've ever seen in person. he knows his shit.

Most of the time @ Golds, but I spend alot of time at a local power lifters personal gym.

Military gym. It's alright. Used to lift at lunch but have since started getting up early so I can get home early to coach bball.

DBs go up to 125. Just about everything you could think of but the locker room sucks big butt. Very moldy and gross. Cold water most of the time in the showers. It's disappointing really. I've lifted in 50 military gyms and this is, by far, the worst.

80lbs dbs. ask for a discount. I train a local mom and pop gym , nice gym not great for BBer's or powerlifters , it has enough though , has alot of cardio and spin stuff, Overall clean a well run, but they need some new machines for the more serious guys

no gyms around me. I have lifted alone my whole life. I have a power rack and i have olympic adjustable db's. Works for me and my goals(i have no desire to compete and dont have the willpower to even if i wanted to)
For me, i just love lifting. I used to want to be really big but that started f'n with my knees during softball and hunting so my goals have now changed. My power rack is plenty for that although the legs get neglected due to a car wreck

I'd love to get a second membership at another gym. There's a pretty hardcore gym with heavier weights about 25-30 minutes away, I just really don't want to drive that far on a regular basis I guess the price I pay for living way out in the country.

Don't feel bad, I lift at a Planet Fitness Now that's embarassing! Id join the Worlds if I was you. I'm a believer in that weight lifting is like growing a plant. Use a small pot, the plant doesn't get big...use a big pot, it grows huge. Fuck, now that's some deep shit bitches!

i trained at my local YMCA for 6 years. i was a lifeguard there for 6 years so i had a free membership. then after i left to start my insurance career i still managed to reap my free membership for an additional year. then this bitch caught onto me.

but whatever. see my post earlier in this thread about the gym i train at now. its the best gym i've ever seen. and $179 cash for 6 months is not bad.
