I hate LA Fitness

[steig]

Idiots are everywhere. Even in the "dungeon" gyms you are going to find an idiot or two. At least in the trendy gyms there are plenty of hot women looking for some meat to bring home.

I agree that dungeon gyms also have their idiots. Yesterday at my dungeon gym some guy was doing curls in the squat rack while I was waiting to squat. But to make matters worse he was sitting down talking on his cell phone between sets.

If you think about it, it's probably worse if you're waiting for someone who is doing squats in the squat rack. Cell phones aside, people doing curls usually have it over and done with pretty quickly.

It'd be the pits if you arrived at the gym to see someone with five or six hundred on the bar in the squat rack and then hear his cell go off. Nah, wouldn't happen.

Its just the fact their doing curls in the squat rack that piss most people off. In most gyms theres only 2 or 3 machines to pump out squats but you can do curls almost anywhere.

Thanks for spelling it out.

I was just trying to offer a bright side to the bane of all gyms.

I used to lift at LA Fitness years ago...I thought 24hr Fitness bought them out but I'm not sure.

Of course back then I was probably the typical LA Fitness gym member...I can't even remember if they had a squat rack since I only did the 'California Workout' (chest and biceps)

I train with a great group of powerlifters at Gold's. The owners are great and they don't mind that we sometimes make a little too much noise or laugh a little too much. An asshole wouldn't survive in our group as they would get eaten alive by us. I stay in my little bubble of the gym and I don't stray too far out of it.

The key is to get dedicated people to train with you and you won't ever have to worry about even looking at all the tools in the gym again.

By the way, the gym has a coney island to the right of it and we live in that place after we train....there and the local dairy queen.....Man I love being a powerlifter and not worrying about my weight except for an upcoming contest!!!

if so i think you made up the entire story because i've been working out there everyday for the last year.. well waterford/casselberry .. and i've never been asked to buy anything once.. 2nd they dont even sell protien in la fitness... 3rd they dont have pizza and donuts sitting by the door... 4th if some words written on a wall bother you you should just quit working out and go work at express.. 5th what are squat machines
