How do gyms make it into the database? I'm looking at where I live (Brooklyn), and almost every single gym listed is a CrossFit gym. There are a considerable number of missing gyms.
Otherwise, this is awesome. I work out at home now, but when I was looking for a gym a while back, it was extremely annoying. New York is especially bad since most gyms are small and/or prioritize cardio equipment and weight machines as opposed to free weights. Anything with more than one squat rack is in Queens and/or has a huge price tag.

- tclancy 11y agoSame here, all 3 are CrossFit places. I need to be able to filter by: "Will eject you for using the squat rack for non-squat activities".
- gtk40 11y agoSame here. Every gym nearby was Crossfit. There are several large, chain gyms and smaller places nearby too.
- acconrad 11y agoSo the original idea for this was that I wanted to find quality gyms in my area with vast arrays of equipment. I specifically disregarded globos like Planet Fitness and WorkOutWorld, which have shady contracts and terrible policies. So my initial feed was the 3500+ Crossfit gyms, plus an additional 600-700 powerlifting, weightlifting, and strongman gyms across the country. I knew these places would have great equipment, great staff, and the amenities fitness enthusiasts would need to get in a great workout. That said, as you can see, Crossfit dominates more than 80% of my current results. If you sort by Price you may find a smaller, niche gym in your area that will likely be much cheaper and will accommodate your workout type.
