I like trying new gyms in new places. Each one its own microcosm, filled with its own style, customs, and culture.
There are the modern gyms, packed with the latest equipment and ambient lighting. Old school ones with weight plates from 40 years ago and rusted barbells. Then there are the social gyms where everyone is chatting between sets. And the ones where, clearly, everyone comes to workout but sticks to themselves.
Hands down, though, the best gym I’ve been to is Megatlon in Buenos Aires. They have an outdoor terrace filled with gym equipment that gives members a view of the skyline as well as the Rio de la Plata. The combination of outdoor exercise and sun filled workouts provides an unparalleled endorphin kick.
It’s the little things.
