I've only started going a couple of weeks ago and I love it.
>everyone will always politely asks if you're using a bench or bar if you're nearby

Currently looking for one. I'll do trial workouts at some gyms over the next weeks. Any advice?

Where abouts do you live?

Germany

Try and find a community centre gym. They'll be less hardcore lifters but there will still be guys there who'll know what they're doing and could give you help if you need it.
Community centre gyms should also have lots of machines such as treadmills and bikes which is a better alternative than going somewhere with twenty squat racks and no cardio equipment, like cross trainers or whatever.

there's this fag who always looks at me in the mirror.

only one squat rack with a somewhat wobbly bench, requiring good stability in your feet while benching

music is whatever i want

Polish people. Polish people everywhere.

Or, rather, "people".

>Used to be prison style gym
>Hardly any dyels (except for me) or women
>Most guys including the PTs were beasts

>Now bought by a neighbor gym, basically a hotspot for rich beer loving upper class without any sense of fitness or weightlifting
>Almost fired all of the PTs, replaced them with goofy retards who don't know anything of lifting
>1/4 women, 2/4 summer dyels I personally know who only come here to be "fit" for summer", 1/4 old regulars but they are decreasing
>all new polished equipment though
>everyone is out there being cunts

Seriously, back when I worked out there I was mostly alone in there doing my stuff while my turkish PT gave me slaps on my back while I was deadlifting to motivate me and now it turned into an upper white class fuckspot where people refuse to share equipment
>Had to wait 1:30h for the only bench press to get free as two retarded dyels had to do 10x3 with 1pl8 there, no joke

City name starts with A? Sounds like the one I go to.

If the gym wasn't so close to my apartment and if I didn't work a crazy schedule, I'd probably go somewhere else.

giff example

Full of hipsters and douchebags
Lots of homos and man buns
I hate everyone there especially the staff
But it's literally 1 minute away and the equipment is good so whatever

about the meme thing? idk they are mostly "local" memes and you wouldnt get it

retro fitness, cheapest gym in the area and it has a decent size and basic machines and alright barbell area. they dont try and shove the PT down my throat and open 24/7 so i like em.

Anytime Fitness in the 484.
