MAK Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 So, what are the good things about it ? (And no, I'm not talking about the Alouette Cheerleaders and the exotic dancers working out there, you pervs ) I loved it !! of course you have your jocks but overall you can do you workout without having to deal with them. and yes there are many attractive women in there I found it cheaper than the likes of energy cardio or nautilus...

JoeLassister Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 You mean Serge Moreau Pro-Gym Hochelaga/Letourneux ??? I subscribed there 2 months ago : 200$ for 6 months, not that bad... +1 for jocks, +1 for many attractive women. I use to go there between 16h30 and 18h30, it's not to crowdy. And you can see humorist François Morency working out around 17h30... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first time that I subscribe in a GYM... but they offer Individuals closed showers, Sauna in there, lot of lockers, "hair dryers", etc. IMO, it's pretty clean in there.

And locker room and shower are not the best; not a major factor outside winter, as I change/shower at home, but in winter, it's best to shower and change @ the gym, as I don't want to walk in the ice and snow with my gym clothes and running shoes. Although I did appreciate the free towels (2 per person per session) Edited May 5, 2009 by rafikz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My membership at Gym La Cité just expired, and althiugh La Cité is 1 block away from where I live (and they have free towel service), I think I want to change). By using the subway, it takes me 10 minutes to get to Métro Pie IX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafikz Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 So I went to Pro-Gym @ lunch break, just to take a look Damn it was packed !!!!! and it was only 1:00 pm (And yeah, guys are huge there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drops around 18h00 though. I never went on the weekend. (And I'm everything but huge lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafikz Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Did you subscribe ? No Went a few times; it's really nice. But the 15 minute commute will turn in a 30 minutes one in winter. Plus, i read somewhere that a shooting occurred in that gym about 2 years ago I went with a gym that's super close to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean: "was that in French ? " No, mediocre English: should I say: " I'm afraid it will turn into a 30 minute one? " (I meant that the commute will be longer in winter because walking in the snow and ice takes longer than usual) Anyway, it wasn't Hells related; a cop went in the gym with his uniform on , started running on the treadmill and talking to himself Then he grabbed his gun and destroyed some stuff (but no victim) Edited May 25, 2009 by rafikz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
