Where can I find an affordable Gym with free weights? I work around the downtown area and take the orange line to Malden Center back home. Anyone know of any gyms in either area that have free weights and barbells to do squats, benching and the like? All the gyms I found seem to not have these types of weights which is frustrating. Would appreciate any suggestions, thanks.
Edit: Not sure what's with the downvotes. Just looking to get fit and healthy

Total Performance Sports is in Malden (near Malden Center), and is probably one of the best gyms for that in the Boston Area. It's $ 50/month; I don't think you can find a gym with what you want for much less than that. They also do day passes if you just want to try it first. http://totalperformancesports.com Cambridge Strength and Conditioning (which is actually in Arlington) is also a great gym, but probably a lot more of a pain for you to get to.
Can anyone recommend a boxing club/gym/place in the north of boston area or Cambridge/Somerville? I've really been enjoying these boxing DVDs and I think I might look into taking a real-life class.
