Why are all the gyms in center city closing??? I literally can’t find a single gym now that has a good set up. The only place close to me is city fitness and their dumbbells only go up to 80 lbs. this is a huge city wtf is going on??

I think bc most of these gyms are over priced. That’s why the planet fitness on market st is always so crowded. Bc city fitness is over priced and then the smaller gyms like crunch etc are too

Makes sense. My theory was that everyone’s just a fatty here and no one works out

Your mistake is trying to find a fully equipped gym in the middle of the city.

Absolutely not. Fusion is a money laundering scam with equipment falling apart. Tony is only interested in expanding as quickly as possible; any south Philly location will fall to pieces within a month of opening.

Fusion will be expensive AF. I know a few folks who commute from center city to Fishtown for BAMN Fitness. Great community there.

Try 10 Hands Fight Club. They have some great deals right now. I have a membership and I love it. Actually learning the fighting technique while getting a full body workout that I feel alive. With lots of good gym equipment as well. I think they have one of those heavy weight set up if that’s what you are looking for. Fun community too. People are very friendly. And never crowded.

I just started last week. Learned a lot and have been having lots of fun. Look on Mind Body for the first class free deal or the 2 class for $22 deal to try a class. I have been going to the Muay Thai classes and the teacher is very helpful and explain lots of technique to me.

Stress is causing a massive flare-up of racing thoughts recently. I feel like it's been at least a week or two since I last was able to completely clear my mind. And if it's not random stream-of-consciousness mess, it's music. Ever had a song stuck in your head? Because I've had one for four days now. Driving me nuts. Anyone else struggle with this/have a solution?
