Hardcore gyms preferably on Upper West??

[ati_m]

Hi!

I just moved to NY, two weeks ago, and I'm staying for 6 months..
I live on 107th street and Broadway! Any recommendations on gyms in this area? I'm a student so I cant spend to much money on this... I'm not looking for the typcial chain-gym, where everything is shining clean and full of people who go to the gym just to chat...No, I'm looking more for a serious gym for real athletes, bodybuilders and pros. And I'm only into the gym, no aerobics and such stuff... Recommendations?

Thanks in advance...

The only things I can recommend are two things.

1. Look around for a Parks department building that might have a gym. I think you can also look on the city website (I do not know the exact addy). they have some pols/weight rooms/tracks scattered about the city for really low residential prices.

2. Look in your school. The cheapest gym I could find was always at school.
