no i can't stand it but i had never joined a public gym before so i was not aware of the many ways in which a gym could completely suck. i think my main beef is the music...i can handle the fact that not everyone there are compound lifting mofos, because that means the squat rack is always free. but the MUSIC. damn. i feel like i'm training for a boy band or something. that powerhouse gym on coit and park looks pretty cool, someone mentioned that. unfortunately i'm in a 3 year contract at bally's.
