What is a hardcore gym??  Are the weights heavier there??

There's a gym in the back of an auto shop on King's Ave that looks pretty hardcore.

LA Fitness is finally coming to the market at University Center (3540-3600 West University Blvd where a Dollar Tree and Publix are).  LA Fitness is a popular gym and probably on average considerably nicer than the average gym in Jacksonville.

Hardcore Gym is one that is not all dolled up like the YMCA I attend at Riverside, it is just machine's weights, and people lifting. No frills. I tried the Y thing it is not for me.
