    Official Toronto Meet Part Deux

    Seems there are a lot of people from the Toronto area interested in meeting up in December. I don't know my exam schedule yet, but I'm in as long as I'm home.

    Anyone else in? Date preferences?

    I finish my undergrad (that's right, bitches) on December 12. I'm heading down to southern Ontario to visit family for x-mas, so the other side of Christmas but before the new year would work best for me.

    Damn drunky. Some people gotta drive back home eh? It would be awesome to drink after with everyone but I really don't know how I would get back. I plan on bringing 3 other people with me, maybe one of them could drive. Either one, we should go out after to drink or go out for a steak after we train.

    Any places in mind besides McMaster?

    My vote goes to mac as long as they arent on holiday hours. It is a bit of a drive and costs 12 bucks but it is worth it.

    Yeeee I'm there. Maybe I should start training again so I won't look like a dummy. Keith keep me updated.

    Vision 24 Hr Fitness. It's alright, but there's only one squat rack and one power rack. Four benches, though.

    Oh, and it's $10 for a day pass.

    EDIT: Has anyone actually been to Rhyno? It's supposed to be pretty cool.

    Lol really? Come on, isn't there an Extreme or Goodlife we can go to? There's a really nice gym right off the 401 in Etobicoke called Fitness 365..

    EDIT: Never heard of Rhyno, where abouts is it? Got a website?

    I dont think we should go to rhyno in a big group. It's a very private gym with a smaller client base from what i've heard. The regulars wouldnt take to us too well. Fitness 365 would be good maybe. I like vision though because they allow chalk and grunting
