Spent a few weeks in Europe this and last month, traveling in France, Germany, Italy, and the Balkans...

Spent a few weeks in Europe this and last month, traveling in France, Germany, Italy, and the Balkans. Kept up with my training by visiting the gyms closest to wherever I was staying. Some things I noticed about Euro gyms:

-generally dirty as fuck
-unorganized, plates and weights all over the place
-equipment often mismatched
-most of the equipment is in dire need of maintenance
-usually lack water fountains, have to buy bottled water at the front desk or fill up from the sink in the bathroom
-equipment feels flimsy and like it was designed with people under 6' in mind
-Euros in general are weak as fuck; in the four weeks I spent abroad, I witnessed maybe 6 people benching 2pl8 or higher, and nobody even came close to a 1pl8 OHP
-annoying fucking trance/europop music blasting 24/7

The only good things about them is that the metric system makes a lot more sense than whatever the fuck we use in the USA, and the gyms overall had a lot less casuals (DYELs, normalfags, old fucks, etc) than you see around here.

I'm glad to be back in America though.

>America is better than Europe
>Imagine my shock

>southern europe
>dirty weak manlets

how is this news?

Maybe if you didn't visit the shithole countries you'd see better gyms

Europe sucks in general, the only thing they got on us is healthcare and other government benefits such as a mandatory amount of vacation time, cheaper colleges, and paid parental leave.

Can confirm. Only people lifting heavy in Europe are the Muslims.

> lack water fountains
>have to buy bottled water at the front desk or fill up from the sink in the bathroom

UNACCEPTABLE!

>Europe sucks in general

They have lower discretionary income, for instance

> the only thing they got on us is healthcare and other government benefits such as a mandatory amount of vacation time, cheaper colleges, and paid parental leave.

Study some econonics, friend

Because the gym is ultimately a symbol of wealth and excess. We got the luxury of time to work out and care about our fitness spaces.

well which one is it retard?

Never been to any in those countries but gyms here in northern europe are nice as fuck.

My only complaints are that they're usually low on free weights with way too many useless machines. Also the lack of water fountains is real.

You're right about the music too. It absolutely SUCKS. Only time it was good when during some time I used to go between 8-10pm when there wasn't a lot of people and a dude working there would blast 90's hiphop (think the music you hear in Ronnie Coleman

My gym has one song on repeat for a month:
OOOH AIIMMMM SWEEET BUT A PSYCHOOO NA NA NA PSYCHOOOOO
NA NA NA WHERE DO I GO NA NA NA PSYCHOOOO

Nice try mutt.

Kek me 2

Had to listen to search it up on youtube to know what you mean. YES YES FUCK YES that fucking song man holy shit. All the fucking time. I feel so sorry for people that don't have headphones in the gym

OP clearly has never been to the UK, where we have the best gyms.
NB4 muslims, they don't come to the gyms because it's haram or something.

Scandinavia blows the US out of the water in pretty much all aspects except your jew army.

The gyms in Finland are nice and tidy with lots of free weights. In the north the gyms are comfy and you can just choose the radiostation you want to listen to because the gym isn't too crowded and nobody cares

Europe banned memes, who's to say they won't ban lifting too? Will they create a dyel fat pride ethnostate?

German gyms being dirty. Yeah sure, just kys poorfag, you probably went to Germany for 5 minutes and then toured Balkans in an old Lada.

Gotta lift hard to carry the suicide vests

None of that is true for Germany except the water thing.
Amerimanlets are also a good bit shorter than middle and northern europeans even with shitskins dragging the statistics down.
Kys, nigger.

ITT murican mutts sucking their own cocks.

How many saunas do the gyms have?

>We got the luxury of time to work out and care about our fitness spaces.
America has the least vacation days in the west, user.

Europe has gyms?

probably more than the US since it has almost twice as many citizens.

I lived in holland for years and the difference between the basic shit gyms and middle range ones is staggering.
Also
>generalising europe, a continent
That's like comparing baltimore to manhattan

in wich countries people are the strongest and wich countries people are the weakest ?

Come to an Icelandic gym, the tourist always talk about how great our gyms are

I had a 6 month stay in Sweden last winter and nothing you mentioned was observed there. Though, people generally were not as strong as in Canada where I live.

canada quebec there are strong mofos

I used to train in a small powerlifting gym in Ukraine for some time and it was GOAT (free chalk, free belts, boomer music, almost no casuals besides several girlfriends of the regulars and a couple of high schoolers)
I miss it, soulless chain gym I'm training at over here in Canada sucks ass, at least it has plenty of squat racks and benches.

i want to train in the bloatlord gym in greece


imagine the testosterone boost from his smell. id sniff his bench between sets

Eurofags and Eurofag dickriders ITT absolutely boiling over getting called out for their shitty gyms.

Yeah I'd rather not pay 55% income tax so refugees can rape little girls. 25% is bad enough keeping the minority reproductive machine pumping in burgerland

its crazy how many little girls and boys are getting pwned by these freaks,they ruinin lifes

I go to a very old gym in spicland (chile)
we barely have machines, only free weights and I think it's for the best, I noticed that people here take care of the equipment because if something breaks, it means that you have to wait a week until someone repairs it. also I have the option of moving to a big chain with nice equipment but I feel like it's a scam since 90% of the gym machines are treadmills

>OP was visiting the hotel gyms

There are more nonwhites in the us, %-wise, than im europe.

Maybe you should pay more taxes

yeap, when I was visiting my home country, I was about to kill myself.
Thank the gods I am back, and I love this country!!!

>lumping France, Italy and Germany together with the Balkans
would you review the USA, Canada and Mexico together as well because they're on the same continent? Fucking retard.

American living in Germnay here and can confirm the no water fountain part. Super annoying I have to slug my water bottle around with me while I work out. Also too many middle Eastern frauds in my gym. I thought I was moving to a white country :^(

lmao

>believing Jow Forums propaganda

must be hard never leaving your hometown

i'm visiting north america right now and it's pretty shit.
right outside my hotel there are groups of drunk guys with donkeys painted to look like zebras trying to trick tourists into pictures with the "zebra" and i've had diarrhea the whole time i've been here.
not sure why americans say this "North America" place is so great.

>visiting mexico which is unironically a third world country

Found your issue, friend

In europe the water fountain and sink give you the same water, so why would you need both? Tapwater is also drinkable here.

I'm from eastern Europe and I can confirm; gyms fucking suck here, BUT not the way OP faggot tells you.

I hate our gyms cuz they're all filled up with all those fancy machines and treadmills and what not, basically a normies paradise.

I spent quite a lot of time to find a basement gym where you can smell some powerbloats farts, all equipment is from stone age and you see those golden era Arnold posters all over the place.

You must be retarded if you put modern gym over basement gym.

>-Euros in general are weak as fuck; in the four weeks I spent abroad, I witnessed maybe 6 people benching 2pl8 or higher, and nobody even came close to a 1pl8 OHP
Talking shit without posting body is unironically laughable

i get why you would use rocks for weights if you had no other choice but its really counterproductive since the whole point of lifting is to be able to eventually lift more in the future, cant really do that with those weights

Slav here, the only thing my gym really misses is a hex bar.
Also there's no water fountain but in 5 meters away from the gym entrance there's a water selling machine I fill my bottle in for like 10 cents.

generally dirty as fuck Not in Ireland
-unorganized, plates and weights all over the place. You went to normie gyms
-equipment often mismatched what does this even mean?
-most of the equipment is in dire need of maintenance again you went to shitty gyms
-usually lack water fountains, have to buy bottled water at the front desk or fill up from the sink in the bathroom. Might be right on this but not in any gyms I've been to. Also not an issue for me anyway do I don't care
-equipment feels flimsy and like it was designed with people under 6' in mind. Not in Ireland
-Euros in general are weak as fuck; in the four weeks I spent abroad, I witnessed maybe 6 people benching 2pl8 or higher, and nobody even came close to a 1pl8 OHP. Most people don't OHP. I'd say Americans are better benchers in general.
-annoying fucking trance/europop music blasting 24/7 not in Ireland

I'm sure you went to the best gyms you can find and not the cheapest ones in the area...

Glad to hear things are as shite on the continent as in Britbongistan. I live in the London suburbs and the closest gym is a rundown shithole twenty minutes away. It was even worse at university, the gym there was so poorly organised that the only two benches overlapped.

Well, brugerland has basically no healthcare and the negros there still mass rape 24/7 so whats your point?

Don't want to make a bad thing worse user

Could you share exactly what gyms you went to, at least in Italy?
> -generally dirty as fuck
Depends on the gym. The one I currently go to is fine, while the previous one often had no soap in the bathroom. I found that it mostly depends on how much you pay.
> -unorganized, plates and weights all over the place
False, at least where I've been. Sometimes there's the retard who doesn't put his plates back in their place
> -equipment often mismatched
What do you mean?
> -most of the equipment is in dire need of maintenance
I guess it depends on the gym, the one I currently attend doesn't have any broken stuff
> -usually lack water fountains, have to buy bottled water at the front desk or fill up from the sink in the bathroom
True, but I wouldn't want to drink from where everybody does, I bring my water from home
> -equipment feels flimsy and like it was designed with people under 6' in mind
How?
> -Euros in general are weak as fuck; in the four weeks I spent abroad, I witnessed maybe 6 people benching 2pl8 or higher, and nobody even came close to a 1pl8 OHP
This depends on the gym, it's generally true because most gyms are shit and have shitty equipment, people who go there don't care much about lifting heavy and just use machines
> -annoying fucking trance/europop music blasting 24/7
False

>Germany
>White
Thanks again for "winning" the war.

Yeah. Also the gyms close by to my area (live in eastern germany) are full of roiders and nattys who mog thie shit out of everyone on this board. Barely any manlets in those gyms too.

total bullshit, they usually have buff upper bodies, chicken legs and no real strength and 90% of them fraud and still manage to be weaker than high school athletes

Poland and everything except people being weak, and eq made for manlets matches

Stop going to McFit

Visited Kiev, they had a based outdoor gym with chained concrete and random metal parts to act as weights. It looks like there was a plane crash, and everything got converted into weights.

Imagine being to lazy to walk to a sink for water.. Fucking yanks

The gym I go to in Ireland is owned by a based Latvian fella, its probably the best gym around, others are normie tier and full of gypos.

My only problem here in Germany; I have like 5 gyms near me in a relatively small city, but they're just beyond retarded expensive. I think the cheapest is 30€ per month with a 24 month contract and 100€ initiation fee.
I don't want your fucking sauna, ass-x super program and all the other Zumba bullshit, I just want to lift and leave.

thats a perfectly reasonable price, to use all the shit they have
t. fellow inhabitant of germanistan

Post body faggot

Elaborate

Honestly, man. If you're in a 5 star, the hotel gym is often a better place to go than the local BasicFit or whatever.

Classic communist contraptions. I'm in Vietnam and there's an old guy nearby who set up a pull up bar and a set of parallel bars right on a sidewalk so that people can just come and workout.

>Goes to a country where most of the World is migrating to
>Thinks it's white

How do you live in Germany and still complain about 30 euros?

How do you get buff upper bodies without being strong? Average Muslim is wayyy fitter than the average German, can't talk about other countries

I'm from Germany and it totally depends on the gym chain, price range etc.

I go to John Reed and it's a fitness music club. Trendy loud music, can be annoying but it's cool stuff in general. But it's true about leaving the weights all over there and it's full of roided muslims yeah but not only. Some very cool and trendy people too because capital.

Water fountain, you mean special ones made to fill bottles? Would be smart.

McFit or 20€ gyms in a bigger city (read: full of non-germans) in general.

everything 30/40/€ and above is clean and nice.

I go to the same gym but in an other country, pretty decent gym imo, suprisingly they fix machines immediately which i havent seen anywhere else and they check the equipment multiple times a day.

All of Croatia, and select parts of Serbia, Bulgaria, and Macedonia are unironically FAR better than even the "best" of Shitmany and Shartance. Italy is based tho.

You're not a German if you're not complaining about everything, ver normal over here.

But yeah 30€ is okay for everything they offer, but I don't like the 24 month contract and I only want to use 1/6 of all the stuff in that contract. So I'll stick to my Dumbbells and never gonna make it.

rent some space
put in only squat racks
benches
dumbbells
all kind of bars and accessories

get all the bro-tier lifters in one good place

You should try to find a local weightlifting gym. Usually there is atleastone within tops one hour commute.

Maybe you'll be lucky and a fitx will open a gym in your town. Absolute steal at the 20€ they charge with no bullshit fees etc.
