Dumbbells

[BigMac]

There is a new gym that opened up today where I live. The gym has everything you need to workout except heavy dumbbells. They only go up to 70lbs. There is no contract and monthly dues are $10.00 per month + tax. They're open 24 hrs. Mon-Fri, and until 8 p.m. on Sat and Sun. My question is would most of you use that gym or pay $30 dollars and up for a gym with the same stuff plus heavier dumbbells? I know dumbbell work is important, but is it worth $20 or more per month?

thats a very good deal.

if they have good bars/benches/cages and machines, then yea, i dont see why not. you dont HAVE to train with DBs.

Plus you could always talk to management about buying bigger ones.

I would be turned off but maybe they could order more dumbs??

IMO. Dumbells seem to target certain muscles that machines and cages can't. For now its ok. But i would still look for another one. Even if its a lil more $.

If it were me I would want the heavier db's. There's no reason you can't train without them if you have a few other pieces of equipment besides bench.
