Cool! I like that project, how did you source your feeds - directly from Google Places?
My data is sourced in-house specifically because I didn't want to include globos that had crappy policies or insufficient equipment.

Yeah exactly, all the data is provided from Google Places API. I had hopes of somehow tying in other API's (facebook, yelp, etc.) to get more data (mainly reviews) for the different gyms. But, configuring the database for that was over my head at the time.
I think the idea of having an in house database that users could add information (type of gym, type of equipment, etc.) could be very powerful.
Your project seems to be heading down that route. I would love to help contribute!!
Reminds me of my first node/angular project http://gymnear.com/
