Banks with the best gyms
I've noticed S&T people are definitely more fit than their counterparts in other bank divisions. Just out of curiosity, which banks have corporate gyms in their buildings, and which are the best. Anyone get free Equinox or Lifetime access from their job? And spare me the monkey shit, I just wanted...
San Francisco Bay Club Membership Join
Just moved to SFO and living in the city. Not a huge fan of the gym options here (coming from LifeTime). Bay Club looks the best - looking for people who're interested in pooling in on the membership, or anyone who has an open spot to let me join into theirs. Please DM if interested - thanks!
NYC Gyms with Basketball Courts
Moving to NYC soon and would love to find a gym that I can lift in and has an indoor basketball court to get some runs in at night or when the weather is bad. Couldn't find much info on this.

Working Out in IB?
Dedicated gym-goer headed into IB on the west coast -- When do you all get your workouts in? Seen lots of posts where bankers go before work, and others where people dedicate an hour (say between 6-7p) daily. Curious what you all do
Weightlifting as a SA?
I'm going to be a SA in S&T this summer in NY. I'm wondering how other people have structured their workouts in the past to make it work with their schedules and what I can expect. For reference, I'm used to 3 hour sessions at school of high intensity/moderate volume Olympic...
Is it ever acceptable to approach a girl at the gym?
I'd like to start by saying that I have been pretty firmly entrenched in the "don't approach girls at the gym" camp for all of my gym-going career (which is long and frequent, I'm shredded ;) ). So before people jump to the conclusion that I am an incel or creep, please note that. The question...
SA Living/Gym Advice
I wanna continue the momentum of making gains this summer. Regardless of whether its likely I will have time to work out, what's the move? Thinking about Equinox partially so I can have access to a non-shitty shower situation. Also, where's the best place in Manhattan to live as an intern...

How much free time available for analysts? Do you go to the gym?
From what I am hearing about beginning in IB is that the hours are ridiculous and it seems that you have no free time. It seems that such a schedule would be far more sustainable with some fitness/exercise routine but do you even have time for that?
Non-Nicotine Vaping Products (Vitamins, Caffeine, Etc.)
Anyone try out some of the non-nicotine vaping products (vitamins, caffeine, etc.) that are popping up in the marketplace? I've been experimenting but most of the brands seem like gimmicks and I'm not 100% sold on the science behind the products yet. IMO the only product that I've tried so far that...
Pumpin' Iron
Okay so I am a student and I am huge into gymming and all that good stuff. There is so much time to gym and keep fit at college. When you get into the industry, where do you guys find the time to actually pump some iron if IBD hours basically mean the only thing you get time to pump is numbers into...
Best In-Office Gyms
Was having a conversation with a friend, but from those who have worked or interned in NYC banking offices, which one's have the best in-house gyms? I know that Goldman's is quality, but interested for fun

At the age of 22, the former fullback of the Tennessee Volunteers was signed by the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent.

Favorite and Least Favorite Exercises
What are your favorite exercises to do in the gym? What are your least favorite? I think my favorites are pull ups or tricep push downs. Least favourite is definitely squats. Does everyone love the good old bench press or is the lifting game changing these days?
A Monkey's Guide to the Gym
Monkeys, One topic that I see pop up time and time again on here is regarding the gym. I have a particularly slow Friday ahead of me so I thought I'd post a brief guide to training since I imagine, for the most part, we all have similar lifestyles and the challenges that come with them. I'm going to...
What brand of creatine do you use?
I've been a user of protein supplements since I was 19 (I'm now 25) and I've used Isopure and other whey protein isolates. The world of creatine is new to me but I've researched it and I'm interested in giving it a go. What brands do you purchase? Do you have any recommendations as to what I should...
Have you been able to correct duck feet at the gym?
I have been working out for a while now but I've noticed lately that my left foot turns out slightly, and my right foot a little less slightly when I'm lifting. I believe this is known as duck feet. Has anyone else been able to get rid of this issue?
Avoiding the Banker 20
Looking for some feedback on an idea: While living through analyst hell, it was apparent that other analysts and associates did not know how to take care of themselves diet or exercise wise. Plenty of people I knew put on the banker 20. Would a simple ebook/guide/online course ever be utilized to...
Members-Only Clubs, Gyms etc.
NYC is a big city and there are so many people with so many different views. I wasn't a big fan of any members-only establishment. I was a fan of public transport. I have recently began to think differently. A typical gym charges a certain fee for every month and let anyone who pays in. The way they...

Personal Trainer
Incoming IB analyst in NYC . What do you guys think of hiring a personal trainer in the gym? Is there gonna be enough time or should I just stick to working out on my own when I have the time?
Being Slighted
Hey so we are all in this forum to improve ourselves. I am wondering how do you deal with something like this. Recently something similar to the video happened to me at the gym and I felt really disrespected. I am not a scrawny guy or anything but I guess my mentality isn't that strong. I was using...

Should girls groom?
All right, I know there are some girls lurking here, and I want your two cents. Guys, feel free to chime in with your opinions too, though I'm really hoping that some chicks de-lurk for this question. Quandary: I've always used the gym at home in the morning when feasible, but now I'm at the point...
Anyone work out in the morning before class/work?
I'm thinking about changing up my schedule to be more productive. Get up, work out, eat breakfast, possibly read some WSJ, then go to class. Does anyone else feel benefits from working out in the morning before class? What do your morning schedules look like?

Losing weight -Tips..50 lbs in 16 weeks - Doable?
Basically, over the past 12 months, I have severely sprained my ankle twice and its meant I've been sitting around on my ass a lot. I've gained a fair amount of weight so needed help shedding it as soon as possible. I've put on about 25kg in the year. I'm desperate to get rid of it as soon as...
fucking gym memberships
To preface, I've just started my analyst stint in a large mid-western city. I was pretty active in college, and so it felt natural to me to belong to a gym (it gets cold during the winter months, too). So, I started my journey two weeks ago. I signed up for the week long free trial at four gyms...
Private members' club as an analyst - perceived negatively?
Hi guys, I need your opinion on something. I'm soon going to start working as an FT analyst in a boutique, and I am considering paying for a membership in a private members' club because I feel that I would derive a lot of utility from it given my circumstances (see next paragraph). Do you think...
Happy Needs Help.
I was hoping some of you monkey/gym rat wannabes could give me some ideas for a new playlist to listen to while I wow the bitches with my weightlifting prowess. I am sick of the one I have but can't seem to come up with anything worth adding to the old iPod. Any and all suggestions will be...
