Good luck shopping.
 
FitWorks it is. Wasn't able to get a membership though. Apparently they didn't have anyone on staff that was authorized to sign me up. I'll try to get that tomorrow. It's literally 5 minutes from my house and 10 minutes from work. Equipment is pretty much on par with what I had before.

Glad you found something convenient. Its awesome to have something close to your apt. After this most recent move my gym and both my jobs are all under 10 minutes from the apartment. Pretty awesome not driving so much

Lucky. I drive 30min for both work and orlando barbell.
 
If a high stress job, the drive can be a good thing. Gives you time on the way in to get your day planned. On the way home it gives to time to calm down and clear your head.

Thanks, man. I've been commuting a ton for the past 4 years or so. It's a nice break to have everything local.

I hear ya. Thankfully, I'm loving my new job (at the moment, no crystal balls over here). I look forward to going in
 
Good that you found a gym close to you man. I'm 10-15 from my gym and about 20 min depending on traffic from the job.

Thanks, turf! I'm young, it's easy. I admire the seasoned folks around here still putting in work after 10, 20, however many years. Slow and steady win the race.
 
Nice work man! Yeah I haven't even seen you reach a ceiling on really any of your lifts yet, pretty impressive. Keep it up dude.
