What do you hate most about your gym?

[Santa_Claus]

I train at the local ymca and the music they play is top-20 pop music shit.
How the fuck can you get psyched before squatting if moby or J-Lo is on?

Music really does make a difference! Give me a good heavy metal or dance music tune to get me really psyched up and my reps will go way more smoothly. Just listening to "Jump in the fire" by metallica makes me want to scream and squat to exhaustion.

Can't wait for my membership to expire this october.

I wish there was electricity and running water.

B True

 

[BUBBLES]

my gym always runs out of filttered water.

 

[mad_monkey59]

I have to walk between rooms maybe 2 minutes, to get to anything below 27.5kg dumbells. The barbells jump from 22.5kg to 35kg, and there are not enough freeweights or bars for the benches and the squat rack.

And im going to go a squat now lol

 

[anthrax]

They change the old (good) dumbells for new ones who look good but are so cheap that aftera few weeks they start to break down

One day a guy a DB will fall on a guy head while he's doing pullover

 

[JeSt3r]

well besides the fact they changed all the seat/bench covers to purple and painted the walls yellow and purple...i have no compliants

[d3track]

i waer hedphones
no worries about music
but its a health club, so i get to deal with those morons
and the dbs only go to 125#

 

[HdanSjr]

We have a few high school idiots who will all come in to lift together, like 12 or 13 of them at a time. So what they will do is they will all take up the benches and do 8 to 10 sets each, with 105 to 135 tops! Or they will take up the squating cage and do curls with the bar and 2.5 or 5 pounds on each side. The damn fitness instructors will take up for them if a member calls them out on their stupidity!

 

[BOOEY]

Not allowed to use chalk
Crappy stereo system (I don't mind the music they play, it just comes out awful)
Dumbells stop at 120's

 

[KillahBee]

they just got brand new equipment, but took the t-bar away. now how the fuck does that make sense?

 

[GEEK2FREAK]

Music is #2.

#1 is the 15-18 year olds, bragging about how many cc's of test the shot before the workout. I get on to them all the time.

 

[KillahBee]

did you have fun, fun, fun till they took the t-bar away?

Yes. And then I looked like a retard the first day back with the new equipment cause I was walking around looking all confused searching for it.

that would suck ass
i cant even rig a bb into the corner to t-row, fucking mirros all go to the floor....

 

[sasharawkz]

they university gym that I go to is in the basement of the building. No Air!!!!! It smells really bad. And it's filled with little 18 year old girls who sit on the ad/abductor machine hoping for a football player to notice them. Oh well at least they aren't using any weights that I need.

 

[wnt2bBeast]

i hate that they dont have one decent piece of equipment for a powerlifter..
the bars suck no GHR or reverse hyper..

the benches suck hard to get into an arch when you cant even use the bench to pushh off of..

the squat racks arent wide enough..

ide be so much happier if they bought a squat bar and a GHR..all can bve purchased for about 500 bucks..i think they can afford it

 

[Devastation]

we don't have a monolift. but i'm working on it

 

[wnt2bBeast]

as long as you have a little crew that you lift with..

Dev tell your gym to take a look at karins theyre offering financing for their mono i think half up front then 125/mo for 12 mos? or something like that

[mayhems]

at my gym i hate how you have those assholes that throw your whole workout off by being jackasses... once had some 60 year old come and take a 5 plate of the bench as i was about to do a set...

 

[InTraining]

The skinny idiots around my age that don't even look like they work out and act like they own the place....also enjoy giving me "tough guy" looks and saying that I juice

The music, not a big deal anymore since I got an mp3 player

 

[Rayo]

Bit crowded, no forearm roller haha, and the mass amount of new members.

 

[TheOak84]

not enough hoes
not enough water fountains
not enough machines that are popular (hyper ext, incline bench, SQUAT RACKS)
a damn shake is 5 dollars
too many people use the mirror for db curls and cable fyles
too small
