hey guys, i go to the university gym, and i usually try to late night around 7:30-8pm but it still seems pretty crowded and i end up just waiting for weights, just curious if there are any solid gyms in the southwest that are relatively good?

I go to Pro Bodies in Marda Loop...it's not a fancy gym at all, but it has a good atmosphere, and I think it's still reletivley cheap to join. 33 Ave and 20 St. SW

"the southwest" is pretty freaking broad. Westside rec is really nice but frigging expensive.

yeh how "SW" are we talking here. I go to Trico Center behind South Center and imo its pretty good. I go at ~ 830-9pm and its pretty quiet, never had to wait for anything

yeh pretty big free weight area imo, check out their website to see some pics. Its a newly renovated gym area, and their memberships are pretty cheap imo!

Student price 12 months = ~$240 ( i think the promo now is 2 bonus months. so 14 total), and this includes access to their wave pool and hockey rink i believe...and if you are live in one of the close by communities you get an additional 20% off

I lived in Canyon Meadows and joined Fitness Plus across from the Southland Leisure Center. Relatively quiet at night, and great equipment/facilities. Personal trainers and classes included, and there is a pool at their north location.
