There is one power rack, no deadlift rack and the music is constantly hip hop crap.

Bodybuilding and powerlifting are dying breeds.

I need to open up a gym....

i guess id have to agree with you, that sort of thing was verboten at planet fitness when we still had a membership.

Those giant corpo "Globo" style gyms are a joke. I almost got a job at an Urban Active gym doing the high pressure tactic membersip selling. It would have been good money, but I didnt feel comfortable the minute I walked in the door for the interview.

You gotta find a small personal gym. A mom and pop place. Even if you have to drive an extra few minutes, its worth it.

I go to a local YMCA. It is a good balance between the two. It feels more homey. But then again, I'm not a BB. If I was I would go to Powershack here in GC.

My local place like that got closed down a few years back, and I can't stomach any of the other places around

That's a big issue for my area. You have power house which is crap. THen anytime fitness that bends you over for the 24/7 angle of fucking. I seriously just need to get a bow flex or somin.
