How many of you think, You're gym sucks

[f4209211]

Mine used to be good but they have really gone down in the past 3 months. They seems to be focussing a lot more on fitness people than true lifters. They play Britney Spear, Christina and Back street cock suckers.

They're so many trainers going around occupying so many benches and machines. They put they towels on them and while they're circuit training with their clients. Its really frustratiing and some of us are thinking of officialy complaining to the corporate office in LA. Fuckin 24 fitness.

I lift at home now sick of waiting in freekin lines. Use to tolerate it because I could watch the wemon bouncing up and down on their little stair matsters across the way but pressed for time these days.

Gym employees are assholes. They have the "I don't care" attitude and will also resort to anything to get new people to sign up. Once they even had a membership drive that was promising a new "highly advanced" facility. -That never happened.

Other things I hate:

1. They took the pool away.
2. The parking spaces aren't even big enough to park a Yugo.
3. They play crap music.
4. They seem to never get new equipment, and barely keeps maintanence on the existing equipment.
5. They are closed on & around holidays, etc. even more than a government business.

I guess im quite lucky, my gym is fairly hardcore, membership is about 98% male so there are no women chatting and hogging machines and most people in there have a good attitude, also there are no noticable faggots, i like my gym, its my second home.

Mine used to be good for me. Nice and small most members use the cardio room so you had the weights to your self. Now it sucks the high school football team lifts there and takes all the equipment. Time for a change

I hate my gym!! I am a member of Bally Total fitness in New York City and every club hires these ghetto black people with nasty attitudes who don't care about you or care to help you.

Now I don't care how you act on the street corners in Harlem, but when you are in a place of business, you are supposed to act professional.

Last week after working out I had to take a shower at the gym because the gym is closer to my job than my apartment is. When I went to use the shower, the shower was so filthy with dirty puddles of water on the floor, thick globs of hair on the drains, soap cartons, band aids and razor blades on the shower floors. The shower area was a biohazard.

So I went to the front desk to ask the receptionist, Tysheka Jackson if she could send someone to clean the shower. Tysheka kept pointing her extremely long over-painted fingernail at me and got nasty with me and said "why da hell you be botherin' me fo'"?

I tried to explain to her that the shower was filthy but she interrupted me saying "did I mees up dat shower? Huh? I ain't mess up no men's shower, don't be botherin' me or I'll get my baby-daddy to kick yo' white azz".

Tysheka's manager Shyronda Jenkins came up to the desk and asked if there was a problem. I explained to Shyronda the problem, then she said that "someone will be gettin' to dat shower soon, but you gotta wait". I asked her how long. She said "How da hell do I know. I ain't no Miss Cleo". I asked Shyronda if there is a janitor on duty, she just stared at me for 30 seconds popping her bubble gum and twisting her recently weaved braids (I knew they were fake, her hair was much shorter last week) then she said "I don't know when dat nigga gonna come in!!! Get outta my face"!!!

After about 10 minutes the janitor TyShaun arrived in the locker room. But instead of cleaning, TyShaun was walking around for 10 minutes going "Yo! Whazzup" to all the black personal trainers who were just hanging out in the locker room.

I finally walked up to TyShaun and asked him nicely when the showers were going to be cleaned. He said "I'm gettin' to dem yo!" I asked him when, he said "Yo! Yo! Can't you see I'm talkin' to my peeps, Yo!"? I told him he should talk to his friends when he's off duty and that I was going to report him to the main office if he didn't clean the shower.

TyShaun then got angry and told me that I "would love to see a strong black brotha lose his job". I told him that race had nothing to do with it. I don't care if the person who cleans the shower is black, white, Asian or Latino. I wanted a clean shower. He kept telling me that I was trying to put the black man down. I got so annoyed waiting that I decided to go home and take a shower which made me late for work.

Freak: You cam across a receptionist named
Tysheka who had attitude!?! I can't believe it.

For the winter months I train im my building, which is expensive, but fuck it, it's too cold to ride my bike to the gym. (I too live in NYC.) It's great. The weight room is always empty in the daytime. I never have to wait for the squat rack because no one ever uses it. Lots of benches, Smith machines and dumbells and they don't play any music -- just the way I like it.

I wrote a piece a while back called "Finding Harcore." I believe one of the members here even quoted part of it on his sig. Basically, the premise is; the place you train doesn't matter. It's all about your mindset. As long as there's iron, you can get a good session in. I could care less if the person next to me is a 280 pound pro or an 80 year old grandmother. I've got my own work out to do.
