    What does your local gym do that sets it apart from the big chains?

    What makes your local gym special that you stay there instead of going to a big chain? Is it just the ambiance? Being able to grunt and make other loud noises while you workout? Is there some special piece of equipment that big chain gyms don't have?

    Hyper Sets - do you do 'em?

    I'm hearing hyper sets being thrown about at the gym lately but I don't believe anyone is actually executing them properly (can't rely on what I see at the commy gym I go to lol). I am under the impression this simply means max effort work sets, such as jokers in a 5/3/1 routine. Is that...
