    this is my favorite gym in chicagoland. i head up there all the time for leg workouts. the only 1 complaint i have about it is the damn db's got those handles that are rounded/fat in the middle. kinda digs in my hand when i do chest presses there and makes curling a little weird for me.

    but thats just me

    Wednesday night, I trained at USA. This is definitely a hardcore gym. A sign one wall reads "We are no about fluff and we are not about comfort. We are about results!".

    Michelle Bain and staff were very cordial and friendly. Chuck Sanow was there also training clients.
    Chuck is the NPC Illinois chairman and is promoting the 2010 NPC Midwest Ironman on November 6.

    Yep, Michelle made me feel like I was still in Smalltown, Alabama. One of the dogs looked like an Alaskan Huskey I had when I lived in Durham.

    USA Gym reminded me of Drake's Gym (private training facility) in Birmingham, AL, but a bit larger. Kevin Drake the owner played in the NFL (Bills & Broncos).

    Do you think a sixteen year old can fit into a hardcore gym? I've been looking into this one specifically.

    Thanks for responses.
