Just have a random question for some of you guys. Because I am newer to the area, once I get up north later this week I am looking to join a gym in portland area. I am either looking at going to crossfit mf or casco bay crossfit, or possibly planet fitness(will be 2 minutes from my office). I dont know if any of you have any experience with either of these gyms just looking for some feedback or reccomendations. I am working in south portland on gannet drive and will be living in buxton if that help.

Thanks

Ryan

 
I use anytime fitness. Great, brand new, but pricey. and the people going there are not your 'I'm huge and going to make fun of you'd crowd. they like going at odd hours or somewhere without feeling uncomfortable.

 
Yeh Planet is fine, super cheap, but dont even consider going between 5PM and 10PM, its a nightmare. Also park in the back, my rex got brushed by someone there cause parking is tight up front and people cant drive.

I referee college hockey. so I am on the ice a lot more than I would like to admit, more now than when I actually played. I dont really play any more because I worry about getting hurt when playing mens league and then loosing out on my season with college hockey.

good to know about planet fitness, going to "x" that off my list. I called casco bay crossfit today and I am headed over later in the week to look at it and get a free work out session in.

Planet fitness is terrible, unless you only do cardio. Only positive is that's cheap. I go to The Gym in Lewiston. Nate can tell you how much more manly it is than PF

Lifestyle fitness in scarborogh is great, and closer to you commute route than crossfit. My wife and I go to lifestyle. It was voted best greater Portland gym of 2010.

I play hockey too!

I can also attest to the fact that PF in Westbrook is crazy when everyone is getting out of work

any gym is nuts at that time. Hence why I suggested a different gym. I can go when I get out of work at midnight. Or before work at 6am or something. Or heck, at 2am (done it several times) and since it's a few more dollars, it keeps a lot of idiots away so it's better. and brand new with awesome equipment and great staff. (who isn't there 24hrs, but the gym is open)
