Nominate the Best Gym/Place to Workout in the San Gabriel Valley

Let us know the best places to work out in and around the region so we can put it to a vote and find out which is the Readers' Choice 2012 winner.

One of the great things about Southern California is that the fitness-obsessed among us can workout outside almost every day of the year. Some workout spots, however, are better than others. Muscle Beach comes to mind, but there are plenty of great workout spots in the San Gabriel Valley, too. 

That said, the amenities of a first-class gym can be hard to pass up no matter how nice the weather.

A great gym will have you coming back again and again; not having to worry about a line for your favorite machine or unfriendly service can make your workout routine that much easier to follow.
