How many of you think, You're gym sucks

[John G]

HMmm...

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.

Alien I don't think that is a fair statement. I am a member advisor at a Gym in the New York Area. I actually care about the people who workout here. I try to make sure they are happy with the club I represent. So i don't think it is fair to say that ALL gym employees are Assholes. I would agree with saying that many of them are because they are money hungry though.

Actually it seems that the smaller hardcore gyms are much better in this respect. At my gym the owner is a great guy, and a body builder himself, who is only too happy to help in any way he can. The large chain gyms appear to be quite different though, once they have your money it seems they couldnt give a fuck, ill never join a gym like that again.

Do this.

Hey Mackavelli, about that guy that takes up 10 pieces in his own little training thing....Just fuck him, whenever you need some equipment that he has "marked" just throw his towel or whatever on the floor then when your done with your set pick up his shirt/towel and wipe off and then blow your nose on it. If he steps up then kick his ass, and bitch him down to where he belongs.

....thats what i would do. I dont have time for that pussy shit, and you shouldnt either.

I hate my gym! for many of the same reasons you guys have mentioned. Too many people, i hate that worse than anything. I was totally pissed last night during my workout, and it was chest and tri night, my favorite. I cant imagine how i will feel tonight since its leg day.....and they played the same damn song over and over and over.....and they bolted all the flat and incline benches(the ones for dumbells) so i couldnt even move an incline to the cable crossover to do incline cable flyes. This is just the beginning....i am going back to the university gym....at least its free....-WULF

Whoa there. I was only referring to MY gym. I can see how you might think I was referring to every gym employee though.

I've only been a member of 2 gyms before and visited about 5 or so, so it wouldn't be fair for me to label them all the same way anyways.

The problem with my gym is that the owner/upper management has a poor attitude and doesn't care. This in return effects how the employees act. i.e.-"The boss' don't care, so why should I?"
Sad thing is, it's the only decent sized gym in my near vicinity.

Again sorry for the confusion.

No Sweat bro, I came off the wrong way. Its all good though. I totally understand what your saying.

 

[iamcdn]

depends on the time i go
i like my gym between 9-3
after 3 all the high school kids come
before 9 you can't get a cardio machine unless you come at 6am (and i like to do my cardio in the am for obvious reason)

other than that, if i can make it to the gym in the after noon its really good, NO ONE IS THERE

 

[ironmind]

My Gym is my garage...the music is my choice and I lift what I want, when I want, how i want..cant beat it.

Damn, Freak your story was hilarious my blood would've been boiling too. It was boiling just imagining that shit.

Freak,
As I'm writing this, I'm LMAO. I know exactly what you're talking about. I also live in Manhattan, so I've experienced it first hand too. I train at NYSC, and it's not much better.
