Are you looking for a great deal on 24x7 Gym?

[Andre]

Thanks to Musulphreak for giving me the green light to post this shameless plug for my gyms :)

I own 3 gyms in Durham Ontario... They are located in Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. It's a chain of gyms called Anytime Fitness, just like the name says we are open 24/7 365. This is actually the largest chain of co-ed gyms in the world with over 1000 locations open accross North America. When members join they get automatic access to all the clubs! I am putting together a special rate for all board members, in order to take advantage of this rate you must sign up in one of my clubs, if you live in another area that has an Anytime Club let me know and I will try (can't promise!!!) to get you the same rate.

Here's the deal...
-Based on a 12 month membership
-$30 per month with no extra or hidden fees
-You can pay monthly via cc or void cheque or if you pay up front you get 13 months for the price of 12.
-We offer unlimited tanning for only $9.99 per month (no joke!)
-After the year is over you can go month to month and keep this rate until you cancel (30 days notice required)
-If you sign up here and spend more the 50% of the time at another club the club owner has the right to transfer your membership and you will be bound by the pricing of that club... average Anytime rates in Canada is $45 per month (still a good deal)!

Here are some photos of my 3 locations... check out www.anytimefitness.com for more info... please let me know if you any questions...

Thanks!

[Ritch]

I wouldn`t mind meeting with that chick for a late night workout. Giggity, giggtity... Very impressive rack pull and rack close up at the end. If I saw a girl like that in a squat cage with the bar loaded up like that, I`d probably ask her if she needs help putting away the weight. A place like this would be an absolute paradise for free lance personal trainers. There obviously is a trust issue here. I mean what if a trainer brings clients who are not members of the gym inside to train them?

I guess if we are going to nick pick at shit, this is the time to do it.
That guy had absolutely NO idea on how to properly spot a person when squading....aside from that, it looks like he never lifted weights in his entire life---maybe fat foods at best.


I would love to see videos of your gym, but videos with guys and girls that will represent the iron world a little better.

JUST my honest and unbais opinion.:)

[Born2Juice4Ever]

we could use you in Ottawa...

Ottawa does not have anything like this set in place, but I know Aylmer and Gatineau are filling up over the last couple of years...and more so this year--same concept type of gym.

As with everything, location is everything. More and more people are aiming at friendlier gyms, and not those filled with muscle bound guys.
Many of the gyms alike in the Gatineau/Aylmer area do not allow tank tops to be used, too intimidating to the average person.



B2J

[natenator]

I'm fine with no tank tops. Would not bother me. I see no reason to show off. When you are big, ppl notice regardless of whether you are wearing a tank top or a 3xl sweat shirt :D

Check your PM mofo!!! edit those comments you quoted me on..|I had not read the original posts:mock

Well just to steer out of topic a little, tank tops are not to be take solely as 'show off'
Tank tops while working out help a bodybuilder gage his conditioning...the mirror is our best friend while at the gym....and for me, I do not wear tank tops to show off, but I want to see progress...I want to see areas that need improvement...see my pump that, as an over all is a great psychological tool.
I often wear shorts when I go legs, and this is not to show off, but more so towards allowing me to see hte muscles.


Why is it ok for a guy that weights 150 pounds soak and wet to wear a stinky low life tank top, but as soon as you see a 230 pounder he becomes targetted and called a show off??

valid points. As for the 150pounder... if you don't HAVE muscle you shouldn't wear muscle shirts. I tell the kids that at my gym alll the time. They don't like it so much lol

[Gettin'r'round]

At Extreme years ago I had the gestapo come onto the gym floor and chat with each other if the sleeveless shirt I was wearing was a tank top or not. ****ing place was a joke. More a club than gym with attitudes to match.

[Andre]

post up your vids superstar.

I was thinking the exact same thing :)

Everyone is a hero on the internet...

[Andre]

You may need a couple more power racks to entice many of the guys on this board.

One rack in a small gym like mine is like having 20 racks in a big mega gym...

[Ritch]

Or you could tell them "would you wear socks if you didn`t have feet" stick boy answers "no" then say "then why are you wearing a muscle shirt?" You have balls to actually tell that to people natenator, which I could do it, but just can`t...

[Ritch]

I will also say that was a shit squat. If a guy were to do a lift in that fashion we would all be like " that guy is going way to heavy, he should use less weight..." And yeah the guy was giving a crappy looking spot. On his physique I guess you never know, there could be another Andre under there...

Deadlift was just as bad, still fairly impressive though.

For g-d's sakes the girl is a lean 135lbs... the fact that she can even move those weights is impressive...

I stand 6'3" and weigh around 290-300lbs in offseason. It would not be a wise move for them to talk back :D

[natenator]

I had no problem with the squat or the dead. How many of us have had bad form on an exercise because we were using slightly more weight than we should have to try and spur on some growth or bust through a plateau?

I've posted a pic on here. Search and find dip shit. Funny how you didn't think it mattered a bit ago when someone called you out to post pics yet you think you of all people have the right to do it yourself.

Lol, what are you compensating for? I just wanted to know what kind of gains you made naturally. When did someone call me out, you've been on this forum what, a few months? Take a look back at the first person to ever post pictures here. I'm not big now but I was really small then. Gimme a break.

[O-Train]

I guess I'll try and clear this up. I want to get as big as humanly possible without the use of AAS (then when I'm old and grumpy with low test levels...who knows). So when I read your post about staying natural till 30 and building an impressive physique I was curious. There arn't a lot of big natural guys and there are even fewer who I could say with a good level of certainty have never taken anything. It doesn't really matter one way or the other but a lot of the time when people post up numbers it doesn't mean anything. Even with guys the same height, 200lbs on one guy could look totally different on someone else.

Back on subject. Gyms look nice. Not sure if I personally could use them because I need a wide variety of equipment. With DC style training it would limit me but for most people it would work just fine probably.

[physique]

some of you guys in this thread are impossible to please.

Andre the gyms looks really nice. look a small though, some like that some dont.
good luck in your business ventures. i own a gym too and somedays i can honestly say i hate every minute of it. lol. other times its fun.

[Ritch]

^^^ You`re right. I take back the comment I said about her form. Any max lift I`ve ever done like a squat or a curl was never with perfect form. Good lift she did.

I have a naturally large frame to begin with so to the point I don't think I could get UNDER 210lbs even if I wanted to and hours and hours and hours of cardio everyday. That's just not how my body is built.

I grew up playing hockey and football at high levels. When I was in High School I worked with strength trainers and nutritionalsts from Western and Mac U and it carried over when I went onto University to play ball. Powerlifting, eating, football and sex was all I did. Oh, I guess I went to class too lol.

Getting bigger than the average guy wasn't a problem for me. Getting lean even when dieting for a show IS a problem for me. What did I do? I dunno... I followed the nutrition and training plans. I got bigger and stronger week after week, month after month in the off season. All I ever wanted to do was play pro ball so in summer it was all about training - gym, table and on the field.

When I was done playing I shifted from a powerlifting/strength training style to a more bodybuilding style and that help spur on some new growth.

I am not the biggest guy in the world but I sure ain't the smallest either and having. My delts and back and tri's suck but my legs and chest and bi's are good!

At any rate there were many many times over the years I was accused of taking steroids when I wasn't. At the time I took it as a compliment for my hard work. Now? I take it as an insult because of people thinking that's all I needed. The fact that I work hard doesn't even enter into the equation.

Long ramble I know.

Andre has made tremendous changes to his physique, and is now changing the topography of the gym life, exposing people to something nice.

Oh wow an internet tough guy. Your cool! I dont know what defeciences you have in your life that cause you to feel the need to point out the short commings of others in attempts to validate yourself. I do however want you to know that im not really upset at your comments. As I pity giant ****ing losers like you!


btw I know how to properly spot someone. It was 185/200 pounds thats extremelly light for me so I dont really give a shit.

I know im fat. I have trouble with my diet and im the first one to admit it. I dont bodybuild im only interested in getting as strong as possible. Here are a couple of my videos. Notice unlike some people I actually have shit to back myself up.

this is my second time rack pulling in years. I havent been able to ever train deadlift or squat that much because of an injury although recently I have been having more sucess.


Andre is an awesome dude. The gym rocks everyone from old ladies to dudes like me and metalchick are welcomed all the same and every seems to get along due to the small nature of the gym. Even a petty asshole like you (who I am sure is much nicer in real life where there is consequence to action and such) would be welcome and be treated nicely if you came.

Stop bashing the hardwork of others worry about why suck so much for a change.

Welcome to the site....you've actually managed to miss the introductory forum swolegantor:)

As I stated on my post, which is by no means meaning to bash anybody at all, I formally pointed out your poor display, or how-to spot technique.

Do not get offended, do not come on here and try to instigate when it is not needed.

You think that if you went to court and called the judge "a ****ing loser" that he is going to hear your case? I don't think so...fatso.

Don't come on the site and act tough, call people name....you don't have grounds to stand on.

I know im fat. I have trouble with my diet and im the first one to admit it. I dont bodybuild im only interested in getting as strong as possible. Here are a couple of my videos. Notice unlike some people I actually have shit to back myself up..

Don't even waste your time responding to the internet heroes... you are strong like an ox and have a super hot chick! I would love to see anyone on here that is trying to cut you up have the balls to show up in the gym and try to push the kind of iron you do...

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Guys please be respectful to new members. I welcome new member and find Andre a great asset to the board. The site helps him to recruit members and if he can, he helps bring some new faces here. Please don't make the people he invites here feel attacked or disrespected. I have been very lenient as of late. The Canadian boards are much smaller than the US ones. Let's keep this place great and mature. Some fun is always interesting but RESPECT is always what is most important when addressing others.

Thanks.

I hear you loud and clear MP---I can see your point. I guess it is just, that where I come from people present a product/opinion/or views, but without the name calling or any type of condescending remark towards one another.----call me old school.

I respect you and your site and want nothing but success for you and your efforts.

Not singling you out bro. Just the overall tone of the thread is getting unhealthy and trying to get it back to the purpose it was meant to be :)

The Canadian scene is much smaller than the US one so we have to find a way to all get along for us to keep growing.

Don't you all get too nice now or the thread will be considered gay :D

[69challenger]

Good looking transformation Andre. I've never trained in a gym. Got everything at home, but the Whitby one is sooo close to me, maybe I'll come in and check it out. What (or is it even an option) would you charge for someone to come in and just train one time only. Might be cool to come in every now and then and try out the different equipment....

[Andre]

I would be happy to give you a free week!

[clc0214]

that is a GREAT offer "69 challenger" i am a member of the gym in whitby, i also live very close and i have been a member of a couple other gyms and this one is by far the best. it is very friendly and welcoming. it also has all the equiptment you need for all muscles on your body.
it would be great to see you there.

[Rhinobolt10]

Itan. Unlimited tanning for like $23/month

Do you actually go there? I though the whole unlimited tanning thing was just sort of a slight scam, where you'd roll in and all of the sudden you had to pay a whole bunch more.

[Rhinobolt10]

K. I just read through this thread.

everybody went pretty apeshit over the girls form. I bet her form is near perfect on sets around 80&#37; cause it's easy to have good form there. Her form looked fairly ok to me... I see a lot worse all the time... and the weight is definitely impressive.

Everybody wanted to criticize but does anyone actually know what her problem is? Doubtful... how about maybe giving a little friendy advice?

There is a huge difference between working the muscle, and going for a max effort lift... the reality is if you kept your form... it probably wasn't max effort.

So... in case anyone cares... what happened on her sumo was that she let her hips raise up before she started the lift. It's pretty common in the sumo as breaking the weight off the ground is the hardest part. This caused her lower back to round as her hips were just too high when the weight left the floor. actually after watching it a few times... i'm not really sure if that was a sumo at all... or a very wide stance conventional.

If it's a sumo... she needs to widen her stance out a bit more... get her hips lower and closer to the bar... this is very hard to convey over the internet and would take me actually being their in person to show properly.

If it's convetional... I'd narrow her stance a little... get the hands outside of the knees... and once again get her butt a bit lower... actually a heeled shoe in this works fairly well at helping keep the lower back flat... I know you hear all the time flat flat shoes and all... but in the conventional... a little heel helps you get your legs into it a bit more and helps your back stay arched.

On the squat... she leaned forward a bit too much... and didn't quite hit depth...

big deal.

I could only see her from the side... but I guarantee her knees were coming in a little bit... all the has to do is push her knees out more and take a higher bar position on her back. She went low bar on her back... but a bar position almost as high as it can get allows you to be more upright. Low bar is good... but you have to pick your spots.

When you get the knees pushed out... bar high and back arched and tight... you'll feel a groove open up... and a lot of pressure in the hips...and the form should improve. Also, she needs to push her hips through a bit more.

The rack pull looked fine.

All in all... I think her form is pretty solid. She's moving some great weights too. I also don't feel her form is much of an injury risk either... I see guys lifting all the time with much much worse form... and they're fine. I let my upper back round like crazy when I pull conventional... some people think I'm nuts... but they don't see my lower back tight as hell and how close I can keep the bar and the extra couple of inches I shorten my stroke because of that rounding... it's fairly common with any big conventional puller.

I'm not going to post my videos up. I'm sorry about that. But plain and simple.. I'm not advertising my real name on a board where I've openly talked about aas and all that.

However if anyone wants to PM me, I'll give you the link to my youtube page and you can check it out... i video my training regularily. This is a fairly big step for me... as this is not a part of my life I share with anyone...

My lifts are a 700 pound squat, 396 bench, and a 575 pull, all done in competition... my gym lifts are higher... I find it really hard to pull in comps after squatting... I've done a 320 ***** stone, an 800 pound super yoke... 300lb farmers a hand for 40 feet... lots of shit like that. I'm going to compete a lot more at strongman this summer and hopefully I'll get the 350 stone soon.

PM me if you want... most of its on there.

[Rhinobolt10]

Oh wow an internet tough guy. Your cool! I dont know what defeciences you have in your life that cause you to feel the need to point out the short commings of others in attempts to validate yourself. I do however want you to know that im not really upset at your comments. As I pity giant ****ing losers like you!


btw I know how to properly spot someone. It was 185/200 pounds thats extremelly light for me so I dont really give a shit.

I know im fat. I have trouble with my diet and im the first one to admit it. I dont bodybuild im only interested in getting as strong as possible. Here are a couple of my videos. Notice unlike some people I actually have shit to back myself up.



There was no one in the gym so I could get away with being obnoxiously loud.


this is my second time rack pulling in years. I havent been able to ever train deadlift or squat that much because of an injury although recently I have been having more sucess.


Andre is an awesome dude. The gym rocks everyone from old ladies to dudes like me and metalchick are welcomed all the same and every seems to get along due to the small nature of the gym. Even a petty asshole like you (who I am sure is much nicer in real life where there is consequence to action and such) would be welcome and be treated nicely if you came.

Stop bashing the hardwork of others worry about why suck so much for a change.

Hey man, if diet is something you're maybe looking for help with look up Shelby Starnes on elitefts.com... I get the feeling you've been on that site once or twice. He worked with a buddy of mine who was pushing around 20% body fat... I swear to god after 4 weeks he almost had abs and like 8 weeks later he had veins in his abs and looked like a superhero. He told me he ate more on this diet than he did before. Shelby uses a carb rotation diet that is apparently pretty easy to follow, low cards on off days, high carb on training days.

My friend paid $300 for the offseason diet and said it's one of the best things he's ever done.

I'm going to line him up after I hit 250... and when training is my big priority again... it's still a big priority but not life or death right now.

Nice pressing too, your set up looks solid. Keep doing what you're doing man, looks like it's working.

[natenator]

Do you actually go there? I though the whole unlimited tanning thing was just sort of a slight scam, where you'd roll in and all of the sudden you had to pay a whole bunch more.
well yes and no. They have beds that are part of your unlimited fee but if you want better/stronger beds then you pay for it. Some beds are pricey like upwards of $15 for the super ultra type that spray mist as you lol but when I go on Tuesday the better beds are 1/4 off and if I go on Sunday they are 1/2 off.

[Andre]

My Pickering gym is finally open... stay tuned for photos!!!

Andre, I will stop by the Pickering gym sometime this week and check it out. Are you usually there or rotate between the gyms?

I am in Pickering all week! Make sure to bring your workout gear :)

Thanks! Out of my 3 gyms this is my favorite layout... We have a 3 year bumper to bumper service contract with Precor... they are improving the design... Our Ajax AMT had a bunch of issues in the 1st couple of months, however with some new updated parts it's been trouble free for the past year...

My Whitby club has StarTrac and it's been a total disaster...

Precor is a safe bet, better quality than StarTrac. At the University we have 4 AMT's and they all have had problems. Makes sense because they are new to the market.

We have also been getting in equipment from Italy called Technogym. I had my doubts at first but it seems to hold up well to very high usage. Extremely smooth too, although it's $$$ and takes a long time to ship.

[AndrewB40]

I remember Andre from years back, when he first made his appearance on the boards. I also believe that his now wife had her own web site.

Andre has made tremendous changes to his physique, and is now changing the topography of the gym life, exposing people to something nice.

Sorta funny story, I was on the subway in toronto I guess it was 2-3 years ago, Anyways I am looking at this dude across from me, big guy sipping water yapping with his friend, i am like I know him from somewhere. Anyways he gets off the subway and about 10 minutes later in my head pops 2 words, Andre Avigdor, because I then remembered him when iwas on the web several years before. I thought he was a montreal resident. Anyways I guess that these gyms answer that question. If I had figured it out when he was on the subway i would have said hi. My brain was functioning like Ricky from trailer park boys back in that point of life so excuse the brain fart.

Seeing him in person tho it really showed the transformation he made physically was quite impressive and I am glad you and your wife took what you accomplished and into something to help others acheive their goals. Props.

PS I kind a look a bit like your before picture at the moment, by next year I will look more like the after, so it is inspirational to see those pics, thanks

[Talo]

Nice place's . Next time I come back home I will def hit your place up , prob Whitby. Do you have deals on weekly or bi monthly passes ?
