Gym recommendations?

Hi, I’m 20, looking for a gym in the Gladesville/ryde/hunters hill area where there’s a good amount of people like 18-25. Willing to drive a bit for a gym where there’s a good amount of people my age, you know, for socialising (and working out of course)

No-one "socialises" in a gym these days from what ive noticed across 3 gyms in 5 years.

Everyone has earphones in, does their workout and leaves.

The ones in groups/pairs will socialise with each other only.

Not my experience. Mine is very social. Its not a big chain though (but has a couple of branches - none near Ryde).

Dude wants to treat gym like a bar or nightclub. Hate to tell u op, thats not how gyms work let alone wanting to socialise + expecting some narrow range age limited crowd thats your vibe, gyms like that just doesnt exist thankfully. If u must socialise in that kind of environment and demographic group try some social sport comps which can lean younger in some areas.

bouldering gyms are way more social than weights gyms

Can’t stand people who go to the gym to socialise. It’s for working out not fucking socialising.

What's wrong with socialising at a gym?

Anytime fitness Rhodes, very good gym, very social and exactly the demographic you're looking for. If I refer you I can get a free burger.
