Only free weights and a handful of weight machines. No cardio equipment. Leaky roof. PL-friendly. My favorite place to work out since going to the Leaning Tower Y back in the day.

Okay, I’ve given Rock Hard Gym 4 stars. That being established, I must tell you that it is a dump. Do you remember that show Sanford and Son? The one about the junk collector and his boy. Well if Sanford and Son had a gym, it would look like Rock Hard Gym. It is dark, dirty, disorganized and dangerous. Very unfriendly for women. The walls are lined with posters of bodybuilding females from the 80’s wearing neon green leotards . Willie, the guy who runs it looks like Sylvester Stallone. He is nice and always gives away disposable shick razors to his regulars. Dont walk into this place asking where is the plug in for my ipod on the treadmill. Absolutely no cardio equipment. If you wanna watch videos while staring at some girls ass on the treadmill ahead of you, barely breaking a sweat, go to Goddamned Xsport. Its 3 blocks away. This a guys gym for guys who love to work out hard and sweat hard. There’s no douchebags wandering around listening to their ipods here. Theres this guy who works out there named Frank. Real hard ass. Stay the hell out of this guys way. He’s a real sensitve type. Its a small tight space that lends itself to a communal workout. The guy on the bench will ask you for a spot, and the guy who just got out of prison will correct your form when doing military shoulder presses. Everyone who goes here is friendly. Mainly Hispanic clientele. No cute girls to stare at, but this is a good thing. My gym.
