I work out at the Va Beach rec center... It's $38.00 a year as opposed to $40.00+/month for other places. Sure inlet and gold's will have hotter chicks (esp. inlet = super trendy) and a bit better equipment, but for me the rec is perfect. I get in there lift and get out... just can't beat the price. Oh yeah there's locations all over the place so you can go to all the different ones.
