| A Few of Ed Rusher’s Favorite Gyms |
|
When you travel as much as I do, whether its my job as a chemical salesman, or when I find myself on the road performing I have to be creative. Working out and weight training is as much a part of my life as breathing. When I am on the road I have to find the best gyms to work out in. If you find yourself on the road and need to get a workout, check some of my favorite gyms! |

Oakwood Gym Dearborne Michigan-
Great hardcore atmosphere! Hammer Strength, Paramount, Badger, Cybex, Bodymasters just to name a few. The owner is great, and the staff is very helpful. The gym is located just east of the Ford Motor Company Vehicle Operations Center in Dearborne Michigan on Dix Road.

Gold’s Gym Enfield Connecticut-
What a great place! I went to Sikorsky Aircraft for business and these folks and their gym were great. 2 stories and all of the equipment you would have ever wanted. I found this gym after being ripped off for $22 dollars for a single workout at Planet Fitness in Enfield Connecticut. I have never paid $22 dollars for a single workout on the road before or since, what a rip off! I needed to work out the next morning and had heard there was a Gold’s in Enfield. I found it and told the staff at Gold’s my story about Planet Fitness and they gave me t-shirts and a free workout! They were great and they are what the gym community is all about, great people, great equipment, and great attitude. If you are in Enfield go here and only here for the best gym and folks around! You can catch up with them on the web at:
640 Enfield Street, Enfield, CT 06082 |

Gold’s Gym North Myrtle Beach South Carolina-
Great staff,( and as at most Gold’s Gyms) good equipment. The folks here are real accommodating to travelers and vacation bums like yours truly. The gym is easy to find right on US 17 in North Myrtle Beach. My wife the head redhead even liked the place! The folks are super and you would be remiss if you did not workout at this Golds while on the Grand Strand! Catch them at this address:
3306 Highway 17 S., North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582 |

Genesis Gym and Fitness Celina Ohio-
One day I was driving on business through western Ohio on US 127 and it was a normal summer Midwest drive…. Corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, Gym!!!!, corn, corn, corn. I did a U turn and low and behold a fantastically equipped gym, kind of in the middle of nowhere outside Celina Ohio. I had to stop and workout and the equipment was great. The owner is a good Christian man and the atmosphere is great. If you are in west central Ohio and need a workout, this is the place. You can find them at:
7729 US Route 127 Celina, OH 45822 |

Powerhouse Gym Canton Michigan-
Located on Ford Road just off of I-275 on the southwest side of Detroit. These folks are great and the gym has good equipment. They have never let me down and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the clientele. When you are on the southwest side of Detroit get your pump on here. You can find them at the following address:
42621 Ford Road Canton, MI 48187 |

Total Fitness Piqua Ohio- Just off of I-75 in Piqua Ohio this place is a muscle heads dream stop. It is a good serious gym that has the best equipment to train on in a fun atmosphere. The folks are great and a single workout won’t break the bank. I stop here when I am heading south into Cincy when I am coming from Detroit.
Cincy traffic and drivers are the worst. You can spend 3 hours going 29 miles between 4 PM and 7 PM on most weekdays. Must be the fact that Cincy drivers go 55 in the left lane and center lane and look at you funny if you pass them! So after sitting like a vegetable for 3 hours in traffic getting fat and sloppy from not working out that day, this was a great place to stop and workout from 4:30 to 6:00 PM and then head south after a delicious protein drink.
The rush hour in Cincy (should be slow poke and stop) is over and I get home the same time I would have if I sat in Cincy traffic, but I got a workout in instead. If you must travel through Cincy do not do it from 6:30 AM to 10 AM or 4 PM to 7 PM they are horrible drivers and are in no hurry to get home!
Go here to find Total Fitness: 9030 Country Club Rd, Piqua, OH 45356 |

Great gym and part of the same chain of gyms I am a member of back in the Derby City. M.A.C. has it all and a great staff! I have never had a bad workout or met a nicer group of folks. Folks are just so friendly in Murfreesboro! Good equipment and they allow single workouts for business or vacation travelers. You can find them right here:

Nashville Athletic Club-
This is another gym in the chain I am a member of. The place is great and has all that I need when I go down to perform at the Billy Goat Café in Mt. Juliet, or if I am going to get onstage at Tootsies! Love the gym and the equipment. They allow single workouts and they do not break your bank. You can find them here:
5035 Harding Place, Nashville, TN 37211 |

Louisville Athletic Club (Westport Road)-
If you want to find my home gym and get a workout come here and check it out. The equipment is great and the folks are too. The gym has such a wide variety of equipment brands, you are sure to find what you need. I live here when I am not spending time with the Head Redhead, working, singing, recording, or watching college football.
