I rather pay 30 bucks than go to planet fitness. But Williamsburg has changed a lot in the past 15-20 years. A lot of hipsters and yuppies. Its a good story.

I imagine your gym has been around for awhile? I love old school gyms.
New Yorkers are always trying to be trendy. Its getting harder to find a real gym. But you can't stop progress.

No I've been there. I go to some retro gym. It serves its purpose and I scare the little ones

Trendy gyms are not progress, it's actually quite the opposite. But if you find a private, well-equipped gym for under $50/month that's pretty damn good.

The local planet fitness was advertising their 10 dollar a month gym they just opened this month as a "gym-timidation free zone" and some crap about not having intimidating meatheads around. I get tickled every time I hear their ad on the radio, because I lift weights to look intimidating. Anyways, that's a good article and I doubt that Planet Fitness is going to make much of a difference to his gym... Completely different clientele

I just re-read the article. I'd pay $50 a mth just to work out at this place. I tired to lift once at Planet Fitness and couldn't even complete my workout. What a joke.
