>super expensive "health club" with equipment that looks like it's part of an exhibition on roaring 20s fitness, no barbells but VO2max test equipment and shit.
>Planet fitness (I think it's actually called that) with a less annoying paint scheme (grey/black) and much more expensive than the US equivalent. Mostly an IG photo-studio where the occasional misguided soul actually lifts.
>A bunch of mall gyms that are pretty much the above case, with a bigger proportion of office drones doing cardio.
>My gym, lots of machines - quite a few high-end Cybex ones, only one squat rack (if only people didn't curl and row in it it would still be empty most of the time,) two flat benches, decent dumbbell area with a couple adjustable benches, warm-up/calisthenics/kettlebell area with trippy lighting. Very even mix of regulars, cardio-bunnies, old people and dyels.
In general people are well behaved with the exception of many never re-racking weights.

Frenchfag as well and pretty much the same experience

Only old white people in the morning doing machine routines, mostly shoot the shit about last night's game or poltics, squat rack always empty so it's comfy for me.

But if I go during nighttime, I'm literally always the only white guy there. Only Arabs lifting in packs of two or three hogging the pulldown machines and benches, squat rack still empty. All loud and brosciencey as fuck, almost never rerack shit, all dressed the same, with exact same haircuts and beards. They're decent guys when you talk to them, will spot, a few have legit advices, etc. I respect that they put in the work and stay dedicated no matter what, but it still irks me. The white population is getting out-alpaha'd by them and doing nothing about it.

One hand I respect them for still behaving like men in a society of nu-males, but I really wish I could experience what it's like to lift in a gym packed with nothing with white bros.

Belgium here. Was a bit adamant towards arabs at first but all the guys at the gym are total bros so its nice, and my supplement store is run by an arab which at first I suspected was a cover for a ISIS recruitment center (explosive muscle development), as usual don't judge a book by its cover, people might do the same to you meathead.

Except for the squat rack being occupied all the time it's fine, I guess.
There are about five swole to semi-swole guys at my gym. I've never seen them do anything except 15 minutes of lat pulldowns and curls, so naturally I will accuse them of roiding.

No female presence to speak of, which has its positives and negatives. No distractions but also no 'mires (except from other dudes, no homo tho)

Honestly, Denmark isn't that bad. The amount of brown people depends on the city and the neighborhood. For instance, in my city, there's a minimum of them if you lift in a gym downtown. It gets worse the further out from the city centre you get.

To stay on topic the gyms that arent chain ones are decent and not expensive (30 eur/mo) always at least 4-5 bences that can transform into smth where you can squat and few power cages, decent amont of free weights and machines. Lots a qt3.14s some high test

This happened once when it was raining and I didn't bring my umbrella, I was just wearing a t-shirt. Popped into a small shop to avoid the rain and made some small talk to the old lady at the register about it. She just gave me an umbrella and refused to take any money for it.

It actually works better than you think. Those gyms can get crowded at times with people racing to get in the squat rack, so booking it ahead of time ensures you get to use it, instead of racing to use it as soon as the last guy is finished (risking some guy will take before you and you'll have to wait even longer.)

Only people I've ever seen who are legit are actual sportsmen. Everyone else is a fucking meme. Very few civilians are dead serious about this. Lift properly, eat properly etc. Usually 6ft tall white guys with the money for it.

I truly have never seen anyone doing 1/2/3/4 anything here. Everyone just memes crossfit, splits and cardio to fit into gym culture

Most people do brosplits, and no one counts macros. Greeks are lazy pieces of shit in general, and most of them don't possess the basic logic to realize you need specific types of macros for specific results. hence they do with shitty brosplits without proper nutrition, and when they see that doesnt work they either continue doing it even though it nets no results, start roiding without proper nutrition or give up.

Whole Slovakia is pretty fascist and, ehm, "red-pilled". Hate that word.

People generally don't trust the news, hate minorities and are right-winged. /pol/s dreamland

When police catches some minority (mostly gypsies) for example stealing, they hang his hands on a bar and beat his heels with sticks so you couldn't see bruises.

True, we were in CCCP in WWII but people seem to forgot about it.

Based on the huge amount of "vote VdB and let in every refugee or kill yourself" posts and news propaganda, I would give it an 6.5-7.

If VdB wins we will be at least a 7.

Canada in general has fewer blacks.

But in exchange we get lots of 'other' immigrants from elsewhere. Lots of eastern europeans, lots of asians, lots of arabs, etc, etc.

Different in Ontario though. Apparently we have lots of Africans and Carribean people there.

It's actually a cool gym. I have started to semi say hi to people but don't really want to socialize to much. The above-average amount of fit/huge people/competitors is both de-motivating and motivating at the same time.

Dutchfag here, liftan culture is basically non-existant.
