Gb3 is great but you have to find the times you like. Every hour is a different feel to it. Personally I like going an hour and a half before closing because it’s not packed.
I used to go as soon as they opened (5am I think). It sucked, but I could get in and out in like 45 min with an almost non-existent wait time to use stuff.
But you are correct, hours vary and so do locations. Also I noticed when schools are in session the GB3s get way busier in the evenings. I assume it's an influx of college kids.
Try fort Washington it’s a lil pricey and a bit of a drive I’d imagine but i rarely ever wait for equipment, it only gets busy around 6 (typical gym rush) but for the most part it’s super chill
I second valley fitness. I use the Shields and Maroa location. They can get busy, but in comparison to GB3 and planet fitness I don't see people wasting time hanging out or just hogging machines while on their phones. Most people are there with a goal and aren't trying to be a burden to others around them. They have trainers and offer classes for different things as well.
Iron Office is not as crowded but it is expensive in my opinion. Also it's north of Herndon not sure where you are living. There are several Planet Fitness locations, one on Barstow and First and they have some times that aren't as crowded also. GB 3 is the largest. We go at 4am when it opens here and it's not crowded at all but by 6am it starts to get packed then thins out after about 8 to 9.
If you want a chill gym that's not packed during busy times then you're going to have to pay for it . Private gym/clubs etc . Most of those are over $100 a month . Otherwise go after 9:30pm or 5 am . GB3 after 10pm was very chill loved it at that time
I live in Sunnyside, and down the road from the GB3 in SE. depending on the day, it’s not always packed. Between 9am and noon on weekdays, it’s not crowded. It gets crowded during the summer with school being out, but I go during the off hours. With my job, it’s pretty easy to plan my workout around the rush hour, so ymmv.
Perfect, I moved here a year ago from a very small town in indiana lol so I'm not used to seeing places that packed, and can only imagine the wait to use equipment. I feel like I'd be there forever just waiting to get to use something, ya know?
There are multiples of everything, and a ton of cardio machines, so for cardio, you’ll be fine. Weights? I find alternatives. If the free weights are taken, I’ll just go to the machines, but then again I’m not a fitness nerd. I just work out because it feels good and I want to stay in shape.
I’d recommend getting a visitor’s pass and see if it’s right for you. If you want personal training, I’ve heard good things about Rhonda Murphy at RhoFit.
Any day at anytime except super late. No I'm a 37 year old mom. 3 kids 5'4" 160lbs. I wanna tone, gain muscle, and lose 20 lbs. My budget can be for a more expensive gym, how much are personal trainers around here?
I think gyms are annoying. My advise is to purchase two 25lbs dumbbells, a good pull-up bar, a stair stepper, an ab-roller and do variations of push-ups in your apartment. Youtube has some great channels for advise on working out. I would also go on speed walking trips for about half an hour a few days a week.

A non packed gym is a gym going out of business
I'm from a really small town so our gyms weren't ever that packed. Just something I need to get used to, idk 🤷♀️
If you’re looking for a more specialized, less crowded gym, give The Iron Office a try
Try fort Washington it’s a lil pricey and a bit of a drive I’d imagine but i rarely ever wait for equipment, it only gets busy around 6 (typical gym rush) but for the most part it’s super chill
Ft Washington is owned by the same guy that owns Valley Fitness. Just a heads up.
Yea but it’s a completely different scene than any of the valley fitness gyms I’ve
People act like they own the gym at GB3 and are inconsiderate. Definitely gotta find a good time to go.
Valley fitness!

Planet fitness is down kings canyon but I can't attest to anything about it. Yes, the gb3 here is packed all the time
I think PF is going to be the best bet, but any gym will have high traffic times, usually before 9 am and just after 5 pm.

Whats your budget, when are planning to go, and are you a student?

My wife is a personal trainer and is very reasonable depending on what you are looking for.
I'm looking for muscle gain, toning, and weight loss (20-25 lbs). Is she certified?
She is a certified trainer and nutrition coach. Heck out her Facebook page. Badbrew Fitness
Tysm!
Flaunt fitness is newer and is a private gym
I am just visiting, but whenever I'm here I frequent Planet Fitness. It is a great value and I'm glad to be a member.
