Alright guys. Im looking to join a gym. The closest gym to me is a 24 Hour Super Sport. They have no installation fee, $84 upfront (1st and last month dues). But, $45 a month. Is that a decent price/deal? Or should I be looking at other gyms like LA Fit, or Gold's Gym? Thanks guys. The info/help would be appreciated.

Try to get that upfront fee waived or reduced but usually first and last month dues are standard. $45 a month is average, I pay $40/month for LA.

Anyone have this problem?
I feel like my legs (knees and down) are weak
No matter how many calf raises I do, they won't grow.
I can't stop locking my knees. I heard that locking your knees are bad, and I notice that when I'm standing up still, my knees are almost ALWAYS locked. Maybe it's in my mind, but I feel like my legs (knees and down) can't support my upper body muscle mass weight that I've put on in the past months. Are there any knee muscle excercises I can do to build up knee strength?
Or is this all mental?
I'll also add that my right ANKLE* is supinated to a point, kinda minor, I'm the only one that can tell (not sure if that makes a difference)

i ran a gym for 2 years. .. my advice is first you gotta decide what gym will you use the membership the most/enjoy going. A lot of times that comes down to location/convenience first and foremost. Also amenities. I dont know about 24 hour fitness but 45/month is kinda high. I rather get a lower monthly rate. Depending how good you negotiate, and how bad/good their sales are vs their quota, you may or may not need to put a little money down to lower your monthly rate. Itll be easy to want to cancel your membership if you're paying too much per month. A lot of times you can haggle better on weekends cuz sales are slow. A lot of times the entry level employee can't ir won't haggle or get 0 commission if they do, so you prob want to buy from a manager who wants club eft #s. At the end of the day, i would pay a registration fee if i was forced to if thats what needed to be done for a better monthly fee.

Nike Free 5.0's without the insoles (too much cushioning) are actually not too bad for low bar squatting. I usually do all of my lifts just in some Adidas D Rose 4.0's. The sole is a bit soft compared to the Rose sneakers, but I can work with it.

Buy some of the cheapest Adidas powerlifts and squat in those.
Hell id go barefoot before using Frees personally.

I used to squat in my free run 2s. Have a good heal to toe drop have a wide forefoot area. I liked them. I squat now in my metcons mostly and aside from traction on the bottom (since my frees are old and beat) i can't really tell a big difference.
The biggest factor has always been stability. I would squat in some free 3.0s and they were narrow and with heavy weight became hard to balance in. But i had never had that problem in my free run 2s.

when i started working out with my co-workers, pretty much none of them squatted with adequate depth. military friend of mine posted up what i suppose was a bragging vid of him with about 300# and he was super shaky unracking and walking the weight back and he quarter squatted it for 2 reps and racked it. dude was kinda big too and i think he was on PH at the time. most of the comments were stuff like "beastmode"
sadly, squats are just one of those movements that so many people do incorrectly.
