Philadelphia Gay Relocation Guide
Today we’re making a list of the top gyms in the gayborhood. Us gays are obsessed with keeping in tip top shape, so instead of trying out every gym to locate your perfect equal, I’ll be scrutinizing each of them for you.
1. First we’re going to start off with the obviously “labeled” gay gym in Philly, the 12th street gym. And it is an amazing place to get a heart pumping workout in. This gym is separated into diverse levels. The bottom is the weight room. There are 8 different rooms down there and an amazing selection of equipment. Going back upstairs, you’ll run into the multiple levels of cardio equipment and group fitness rooms. Overall it is a great gym to go to, not only to get a superb workout in, but to also socialize with the local gay gym rats in the area.

N.A. Poe likes to push buttons. And this time, the comedian, marijuana activist, former City Council-at-Large candidate and future state senate candidate has pushed the buttons of none other than 12th Street Gym, the popular-with-the-gays fitness emporium that has been a landmark of the neighborhood since long before anyone mind it would be catchier to call the area Midtown Village rather than the Gayborhood.
Poe’s repertoire of irreverence includes self-produced videos that poke fun at people, institutions and ideas. (This one from Wing Bowl is the foremost coverage of Wing Bowl we’ve ever seen.) And in his latest video, he hung out in the Gayborhood with HIV-positive gay rights (and marijuana) activist Jay Lassiter to talk about both causes.

Outside of Woody’s, Poe asks Lassiter if he’s ever had sex inside the dance club. “Not in the new mill

Homophobia Shut Down 12th Lane Gym
But it did exist, for nearly three decades, and it finally closed its doors because New Philadelphians and Millennials have turned Philadelphia into a hot-bed of pro-corporate snobbery.
From the outside, 12th Street Gym is unassuming. The only thing indicating it's more than a warehouse along the Gayborhood's 12th Street Strip is the stunning mural of LGBT rights activist, Gloria Casarez. Once a homosexual bathhouse - community code for a den of anonymous sex - the gym had a hard time shaking its former reputation. Many s
