You definitely can't judge YMCA based off of one. Some are thrown together pieces of shit in the basement of an old church on skidrow with like 10 pieces of equipment. Some are massive 3-story luxery gyms on the beach with an olympic swimming pool, water park, indoor track, basketball court, sauna, and like 5 different weight rooms. Lol.

[@smhjesse]

The one he went to was bad. Why would he drive all the way out to some second location. They should have the same quality at every location. Consistency is a massive factor.

[@PlainRedPanda]

@@smhjesse It's not a commercial gym though, most of them receive direct donations to each specific YMCA. They vary because the amount of contribution to those specific facilities is different.

[@smhjesse]

@@PlainRedPanda well that sucks for them then but the point still stands…

[@Ceredron]

I have the equinox hudson yards level membership (global whatever) and I have to agree - the gym is always jam-packed, there's only like 4 racks (2 of which are sort of deadlift racks anyway), and the vibes are sort of so-so. People working in the lobby, people working in the restaurant, people working on the terrace. It's a solid gym, and the wild part is that they HAVE the room for like five more squat racks, but they just have open space instead. That, and NONE of the benches at any equinox in NYC have safety bars, so if you're trying to max out or PR, you have to find a spotter or just try not to die. But there are other equinoxes that are newer, nicer, and better equipped. Printing House, Rockefeller, plenty of alternatives. Hudson yards is just for the view, and definitely not for leg day.

Jesse’s Covid vids from his home gym were the driving factor to make me start lifting and what made me fall in love with it. Truly an inspirational man. The real camamdo ninja.

[@himbourbanist]

As a former YMCA employee, YMCAs vary significantly across the country since they rely on local donors for their funding. The weights and weight rooms at my local YMCA I worked at were significantly better than the one two towns over, for instance. We had 5 squat racks, new hammer strength machines and plates, dumbbells up to 130, plenty of benches and cables. They even built an extension on to the room after I had left and it's even bigger with more equipment now. Some just don't have the budget for that level of equipment though, or divert those funds to other projects like the wall-climbing equipment. There isn't really a lot of standardization across the nationwide network.

14:34 almost every bouldering gym has these, they’re called campus boards and you’re supposed to hop up to the next ledge with both hands at the same time. Most bouldering gyms also have hangboard where you just hang to train finger strength.

[@Ducksnuget]

Going with both hands is just an injury risk. Not even Adam Ondra goes both hands.

[@jackalak83]

There are a lot of training options on the rungs. Beginners start with what Jesse was doing. Then you progress to skiing rungs and not matching hands on the same rung. Yes you can go both hands but most people don't and you need to be careful. The pro climbers train with this to go from the bottom to the top in two hand movements. Yes two. It's insane

I think the ranking is pretty spot-on although I do have a planet fitness membership and a 24-hour fitness membership I have been to other gyms including golds and when it comes down to it I keep those memberships that I do have just for convenience since I race and sometimes before race I just want to get a quick burn or if I need a shower but during their busy times I do not want to touch the places and if I had a gold's near me I'd probably have that membership again because it was pretty awesome being there as for places like equinox or anything that claims to have the biggest and best of things and has a membership over $50 even I take that with a grain of salt because more often than not when I've been to places like that the vibe is exactly how you explained it in the video the people come off as very snobbish and stuck up and in their own realm which I think defeats the sense of community that weight lifting has for most people. Overall great video
