I'm mexican.
Pros:
Nobody uses the squat rack
Cons:
Bench press is never available
England
There's a big lifting culture here, primarily amongst lads aged 16-30. Probably similar to 'murica's. Tattoos are big as well - you see a lot of muscular guys completely tatted up.

Sup buddy
I'd reclassify the cold to a pro though, who needs to waste time/water for cold showers when you can just stand outside? Also:
>hockey culture leads to an appreciation of large legs among those who walk the righteous icy path
>bagged milk for easy IV absorption

Small town in Patagonia (Argie, but Patagonia is its own place)
Pros
>Squat racks are eternally empty, yet my tiny gym has 3 of them, god bless.
>Not a lot of people around so don't have to wait a lot for anything that might be in use
>Meat is relatively cheap and always good quality. Can also get based rabbit meat easily.
Cons
>Not a lot of people around. Good luck finding someone to spot you most of the time
>Very small lifting culture, PTs don't know shit
>Since there's not a lot of people, there's no demand for 24 hour gyms, they open mon-fri from 9am to 1pm and from 4pm to 10pm, and on saturdays only in the morning. No gyms open on sunday.

If you live on the West coast or in an affluent city there are not very many of them.
If you live in Shit-tier Ontario/Manitoba/ Sask. then I could see your point.

I'm Canadian as well and I can explain this. We tend to have areas where many people have similar physiques.
For example Sudbury is fat as fuck, it's one of our fattest cities. Other places will be the opposite where everyone is in shape so people feel pressured to get fit.
This guy probably surrounds himself with fit people and has lost perspective on the average man.
My pros for Canada would be:
Very polite everyone in the gym is courteous
Memberships aren't typically too expensive.
Cons:
Like the other guy said food is expensive.
Because we're so spread out, if you're living in one of the areas with a fat subculture they tend to "fitshame" a lot.

Barely any free weights, machines galore

>>36385757
Netherlands
The gyms are full of forever skelly lanklets, mannerless curlbro T*rks and old fat people trying to lose weight. Gyms are cheap though and every gym has plenty of free weights so it's all good.

Where the hell do you live in the NL? Netherlands is the place where I've seen some of the greatest asses. My girlfriend is Dutch, and she has amazing ass and I just love the curly hairs on girls so fucking much. I live in the Netherlands now, but I can do one about Finland.
Pros:
Good gyms
Welfare system (muh government is paying for my protons, since I am a student)
Cons:
Girls ugly af with deep voices
People tend to be really unsocial and introverted (can also be a plus)
Moved away from Finland, and I don't regret a bit by doing so.
