Inconsiderate gym members

S

I have to find a new gym, the gym I had been attending was about 35 minutes away from my home, but was right up the street from my old job.

I'm looking to sign up at another gym, and been on a trial membership at a local Golds gym in Miami.

I have never in my life seen such inconsiderate, self rightous members in my life. I like to go in the evenings and I never had to search for weights before training at this Golds.

See what I mean, every night occurance.

Nobody ever replaces what they use. I mentioned it to the MOD's and they told me " What would you like us to do? ban members from coming for not restacking their equipment?" Needless to say once this trial membership is up, I won't be signing on there.

Am I being to anal?

They are everywhere, some of the smaller gyms I have worked out at and the owner is there all day is not like that as far as putting stuff away, but there are still assholes everywhere you go.
 
No one re rackes the weights in the right spots at my gym, its frustrating as hell but the gym staff wont do anything about it.

The worst is when people leave like 3 45lb plates on each side of the bench.. I have to take it all off to warm up. That's more of a workout then the sets I do!
 
Well, I can't see those pix (not a plat member), but some gyms are religious with putting back ya weights though.
That Lee Haney gym in Atlanta is one I can think of.

Though, it is a very common practice and don't expect that your new gym will be all heaven. I have never found one single perfect gym and I doubt I'm ever going to find one given the circumstances that I will never owe one and will always be just another regular member along with some other hundreds or so.
Just do your best with the given circumstances.

YOu'll find that almost everywhere...
 
gym employees should be a little more understanding about that shit. if they were the ones who had to put everything back, i'm sure things would change. maybe you need to go over their heads.
 
At my school we have a "student-athlete" gym and a "football players only" gym - these are immaculate, the trainers and the veterans get on the younger guys and through peer-pressure all the weights are put right back where you found them, the d-bells are put in their labelled racks and all the plates are put back on the trees. Bands, belts etc. are hung up.

I have found that in the regular students rec center the bigger weights are always put back in their spots but the little 25's and 40's, and such are scattered around. Also people tend to unload the squat bar, but the guys who leg-press leave the weight on there. Leads me to believe that the bigger/stronger fellas have more respect for the weight room than the little punks.

That is exactly how my school gym is. All the big guys you see always put there stuff up.
 
Its still not as bad as where i had to workout! When i first started I worked out @ a Hospital Gym .ie "Fitness Center" (its the only gym in town) anyways, all the lifters there were either OLD or OLD and Fat. Myself and 3 other kids my age were the only 'younguns'. Well all the Old people seem to think that since they come in @ 4:30 am, and are there til 3pm, that if they use a bench ONCE! i repeat ONCE! that its theres for the day. I would see an open bench and go and start repping, and some fatty would come and bitch cuz i took his spot, and usually he would be walking out of the fancy new raquetball courts, to come and tell me this. WTF!!!

ANyways, I got my membership taken away because of some "offensive language" and "gestures" :evil:

Doesn't suprise me either, and in Miami, good luck!! :)
 
This is a re-occuring problem at the gym I work at.
I'm forever putting weights away despite signs telling people to put them away.
Any ideas on how to get these A4$holes to put their weights away appreciated!
 
like everyone has said, you will find this in any gym...from well known to the smallest YMCA in a small town....I used to be a member at the Golds in Vegas on Sandhill (alot of major BB's went there when they were in town) and it probably was one of the best kept gyms in vegas..im in cali now and have to scare kids off the bench press that they have been sitting on for 30 min...weights all over the place...nothing is bolted down only the squat and smith machine , other then that i have to go search for a bench in the mens locker room..
 
I don't really have that problem at either of the gyms I go to. At the one, the owner makes it a point to talk to everyone and treat them like she was their friend. You wouldn't go and fuck up a friends house right.
The other gym, both of the owners are built like a brick shit house and so are most of the members. So everyone there has a lot of respect for the weights themselves.

no you're not being anal, and it doesn't surprise me.............i'm from miami too and everyone has this attitude. Your best bet is looking for a smaller gym...I work at a Bally's here and the gym members actually aren't so bad for a bigger gym. They're pretty considerate when it comes to weights and working in etc (for the most part), but i wouldn't join bally's if i were you. What area do you live in? i could probably help you out


Which golds did you join btw?

yeah pretty much bro, i remember as a punk ass kid...thinking i knew it all in the gym..sitting on a machine for days..till one day this big ass dude...had to be on ass...asked me nicely to MOVE..lol
 
Usually the other members telling some assclown a coupel of times does the trick.. my girlfriend was waiting for the leg press and some stick-boy left 6 plates on each side after 3 or 4 sets of 3" ROM movements LOL.

Of course he just walks away.. I wait till he gets all comfy on the next machine he was going to molest, asked him if he was done and then told him my girlfriend was waiting to use it and I thoink its pretty ridiculous that she would have to put all his weights away..

Ive never seen him leave his weights out since.
 
Go at 2:00 p.m., The morning and luch-timers are gone and the after-workers aren't there yet. As far as people not putting their plates away, that is a HUGE pet peave of mine. Like when the 11th grade kid with the stupid shag hair cut and absoulutely no muscle is curling at the squat rack with a 10lb. plate on each side and then just leaves it.
 
I would look for a different gym. Its not b/c of the pricks not racking the weights, b/c as people have said allready, it happens everywhere, but its b/c of the comment the staff gave you. If that is the staff they hire, you shouldn't give them your money. You are paying them your fucking money and the least they can do is treat you like a customer.
