Sigh. I'm about to cancel my Y membership. Recently, they renovated, added room and installed, wait....wait....BRAND NEW NAUTILUS EQUIPMENT!!!! It's everywhere! They added a couple of new benches, incline press and flat press, and a nice cable machine. We do have a squat rack and a smith. They added at least 3 new leg presses! There is no room now, and they expanded the area!

Also, they added Expresso bikes. These have a monitor that is a virtual scene depicting your chosen program. Oh, the handlebars move too. Needless to say, these are stupid. They added treadmills and ellipticals too. So many I can't even believe it. I thought they'd sell some of the old treadmills. Nope.

Thing is, it's a Y. They have to cater to the crowd that predominantly uses the Y. I guess serious weight training doesn't fit that bill.

So, long, long story. I found another gym near me that has every weight and bar and squat rack I could ever want and more! It's a super place. Same price basically.

Bye bye Y.
