Nope.
No "real" gyms here.
You gotta go to a "real" world class city for that.
All our gyms are Gamma +.

Fitness Factory would be your best bet. Ultimate gym would be a close second, but it is not 24 hours and the equipment is not as nice. Other than that I'm afraid you are stuck with the gyms that offer free pizza nights, massage chairs and juice bars.

We are content with fake gyms or those made of lagos. "Bev Francis" sounds like a real powerhouse. I suppose Bev needs to send us some of those things that we can pick up and make our muscles big.

Fancy that, a gym open 24 hours a day and on weekends. Maybe we should lose our status as a "top 20 city" until we start doing that?

Actually, real men go to the gym after work or during lunch. Are you a male or female?

"Real" Gyms are always Gyms that people knew of when they were living wherever they came from.

You ever notice that...... Every store/shop/activity center that people had where they came from is always better than what they have where they went to.

People like the known better than the unknown. We get that.

And anything that is not the same "Brand" of what they had, is not "real"

Oh yea! It hasn't changed in decades. "Real" gym! LOL!! I can't believe I pay what I pay monthly to belong to a fake one.

Sounds like a "real" gym is probably full of muscle bound jerks.
