Obviously there are some gyms I have not been to yet that i would like to go and train at. One of em is the gym centopani trains at power house "super gym", another would be diamond gym, and theres a few gyms in Pittsburgh one of em where fankhouser used to train at, i believe it was once a church now a gym...

Having worked for Animal, I had the opportunity to hit up many of the great gyms that would top these lists, mostly in NJ but a few more across the nation. One of the gyms that I wasn't a part of was Animal's trip to EliteFTS. That did and still does top the list of gyms I want to visit in my life. Pretty certain I'll never have that chance, but I was fortunate enough to train at gyms like Diamond Gym, Strong and Shapely, Jersey Shore Fitness, Brigantine Fitness Center, Gold's Gym Flamingo (Vegas). I went to college at Ramapo, in Mahwah, NJ. It wasn't until after I graduated and returned home that I realized DeFranco's Gym was just a few miles from my campus (so was Vinny Galanti's Training Station). Kickin' myself in the ass for those.

I think training back in Temple Gym with Dorian would be awesome.

Yep... FF is right, that's the Body Shop... Been a main staple since the early 80's... It once was a Greek Church / School.... Pretty much everything ya need, without the glitz... ;-)

My home away from home....
The tag line in my signature is quoted from the owner, it is on the wall about the rack...

My list will follow.... ;-)

I want to train in that futuristic gym that Drago trained at in Rocky IV.

I also want to try this thing out:
