>there is only one gym with free weights in my area
>owners want to close the gym because the rent went up and they can't afford it anymore
>closest gym with free weights is far away and it will take too much time to drive there
What do? Im fucking helpless right now.
Home gym brah
get together with some regulars from the old gym, rent a little space in a warehouse and buy equipment from the closing gym. if you get enough people it shouldn't be too costly.

>gym with free weights
is this a thing? like having to separately mention a GYM has free weights? is this an american thing? I bet it is, usually safe to assume when I hear something this absurd
>>38434227
i wish but i just can't afford it and i live in eu so there are literally zero chances to find used gym equipement that is not pure shit
>>38434230
this is not going to happen
>>38434247
eu here, there are few "gyms" in the area but there are no free weights or even machines, only fucking balls, skipping ropes, mats and other "fitness" bullshit
>>38434247
there are a lot of gyms in the US without actual equipment, just open spaces for pilates and yoga and shit. It can actually be pretty tough to find in some cities.

That's stange. I've literally never walked inside a gym what didn't have at least one squat rack and a bench press not to mention a collection of dumb bells. Even in middle school our "school gym" which was just a small room had a squat rack and a bench.

if renting anything wouldn't be a problem then the owners would just switch gym location

Great thing about my area. Some great lifting gyms.
Parents should've picked a better city they want you to be a beta.
Save up and buy some dumbells and a bench. If you can't do that then machine lyf 4 u
> no stabilizer muscles
> never get the satisfaction of dropping heavy ass weights after pumping out reps
Enter a dodgeball tournament to raise money to save the gym.

if they are going to close the gym, see about buying some of the equipment for your own home gym. Get a bench, powercage, barbell, and some plates
If the gym is closing try to buy some of the equipment from the owner. They will probably need to sell it for below market value given how hard it is to transport a squat rack, not to mention the lack of interest in free weights in your area. Maybe even camp by the dumpsters to see if they just throw it all out.
