Thanks for bringing the forum back

Hello I'm in Jerusalem, Israel until the end of December and I am looking for an affordable gym to work out in while I'm here. Thanks in advance for your help Sandra

C.O. I've been meaning to reply so no time like the present. Are you on Fitocracy? Am I following you? If not i'd like to.

Hey C.O. Decided to check my post here and discovered your comment. I'm still training hard, just not posting. How are you?

@Dylan thanks for the tip. I checked out Richie's Gym. It's just what I need for the summer and it's on $20 a month. Thank you

Thank you I will check it out and see if it will work Thank you

I'm moving to Brooklyn Heights. For the summer and need advice on good gyms. I'm a weight lifter so I need a basic gym with weights not a fancy health club. Thanks

Cool so this forum is not dead

Is this thread dead? Thinking about competing again looking to connect with other female bodybuilders
