Who else /ymca/ here?

That shit better have plenty of power racks, oly platforms, a basketball court, maybe a pool

Comfy, yes. Cheap? Fuck no.

My first year lifting I was spending $41 a month to share freeweights with kids from inner-city Buffalo. The nogs there used to act like fucking animals.

2 full sized basketball courts, swimming pool but only 2 power racks and no oly platforms. They justify it by saying for the price you get to use any YMCA facility in the area (11 or so) which has even less weights/cages but even more cardio machines. Like others said no one really uses them tho unlike at university gyms.

I stay away from the hot tub at my local YMCA, lots of old people, heat must relax their bowels, second time I was in one, an old dude got in, the. A little while later he got out with shit dripping down is leg and his suit netting was holding a turd and stretching out from the clothing part, like a turd basket. I promptly got out, showered, went home, and showered again. Never hot tubed again since that.

what is the YMCA exactly?

Young men's Christian association

$27 here

Not cheap senpai. Nearly 60 a month where I'm at. On a family membership.
Good equipment draw. Plenty of bars, 4 racks, and even an Olympic platform.
My only real problem is that none of the pull up bars is just a simple fucking straight bar. Every one is one of those split bars or multiple grip hammer strength stations.

The only pro to those grips is that they're thick so you get sick forearm gains

I work at a Y in Manhattan as a lifeguard. It's fucking 90 dollars a month. Vast majority of patrons are old people, although 1 time there was a super qt training for the coast Guard test and I asked her out and she said yes and that's the story of how I got my 2nd irl gf

>Go to YMCA Pennoch in Rockford

This video should answer your question

The y in my town is the best gym in town...which is sad as fuck. Honestly the best thing about it is that it opens at 5 am and since Its the best gym around that's where the mayor, police and fire chief, and other important people in town go at that time. It's been great for networking

>irl gf

Nigger wat

The Y is 2 blocks from my house so I go there most often. My other gym is way more better but a 15 minute drive. First world problems.

My Y is a mixed bag. On the plus side, the weight room is almost always empty so I can do whatever retarded workouts I wish, but a negative is that the walls are too damn thick to pick up a network signal on my phone, and their wifi is spotty as shit. It's only a partial negative though; The signal picks back up near the treadmills so I can use it for cardio, where it's a good bit more useful to me. I can lift without music, but running on a treadmill without it is shit. As far as who goes, it's your typical crowd of urban youths and old people.

>tfw only one squat rack that's almost always in use

Work with children, especially special needs, and its really not an impossibility.
