Reminds me of when I moved to a new city and was looking for a gym. Sure, I have my portable gym (kettlebell) but I was missing my deadlift, squat, etc. I went to look at 24 Hour Fitness and I told the kid what I was looking for in a gym. He was unable to break out of his script as he showed me around, telling me about the bikes and treadmills when I had already told him they would never see me on one of those. Didn't really matter because there was no room to something like dead lifts anyway and I didn't see any squat racks, plus they said they dont' let people try the place out first. When you see something like that, you've got to run away because they are just wasting your time at that point.

I ended up at Gold's and they don't mess with me there. Some trainer even bought a 16 kilo bell along with all of the dinky weight ones. They don't know how to show someone what to do with it, but hey, at least they are trying.

Anyway, get that kettlebell and find a good gym. Don't sign up at a gym unless they have what you want and are willing to let you try it out first.
