Me: "hello?"

Them: "Hi this is Sara at 24hr Fitness. We see by our records that you are a member at Gold's. How are they doing at helping you meet your goals?"

Me: "How did you know I am at Gold's?"

Them: "We have common lists. Are you getting any personal training sessions over there?"

Me: "Why do I need those?"

Them: "To help you reach your goals and to help you learn how to use the machines and get you as fit as you can be."

Me: "I'm more of a free weight guy. I don't normally do much machine work. Machines are kinda for rehab, you know..."

Them: "Well our trainers are very qualified to help you with nutrition as well. Can I ask what your goals are for weight loss and fitness?"

Me: "I want to put on another 35 lbs and be able to squat 1000 lbs RAW."

Them: "You want to put on weight, and do what?"

Me: "Yea 35 lbs and squat 1k lbs. You got anyone over there doing that?"

Them: "I'm not really sure. But why would you only be interested in one lift?"

Me: "I'm not a specialist. I lift all three."

Them: "All 3 what?"

Me: "All 3 lifts. You know, squat, bench and deadlift."

Them: "You know that deadlifts and squats are really hard on your knees and back. That's why most people don't do them. What is your diet like?"

Me: "I eat everything that isn't nailed down. Maybe your gym isn't quite for me."

Them: "Can I offer you a free daypass and an evaluation by one of our trainers?"

Me: "Can any two of your trainers pick up the ass end of a car or weigh over 400lbs combined?"

Them: "I don't think so."

Me: "There's your answer then. Thanks for calling."

Ask if they provide an area to inject in privacy, with proper sharps disposal and free alcohol prep pads.

Nice. I always answer sales calls in a fake accent. Middle eastern accent or an indian accent is a favorite and I screw wtih them.

Sometimes I speak jibberish chinese and start yelling.

Jiu jiu xen gong!!!! Yindao!!! Yindao tou!!!!!



I love it when the sales people call. It's always a fun time.

Or when they call and its in spanish. Since I speak spanish I always try to turn it into phone sex. It scares people, lol.
 
LOL, that was funny. Poor sara, she's probably 17-18 trying to make a buck like all of us. But thats the nature of the beast. Fuck unsolicited phone calls. I used to do 24hr. Its a great place to start. You can pretty much do the 3 there. I mean they dont have bumper plates and shit but i never got to the point of having to drop 350lbs. I never been to golds. Whats it like? LOL, im guessing alot more muscle and bumper plates. haha. I dunno 24 was convienant as fuck, and while i didnt go to the gym for a spa treatment you cant tell me that chilling in a sauna, steam room, hot tub, or pool at anytime of the day isnt nice. Well i take that back anytime of the day past 10-11pm otherwise you wont be doing shit but waiting in line. Thats the reason I stopped going. I used to do all my lifts in the cage. Problem was only one cage. So one day i stroll in and it takes 40 minutes to get in the cage. All the benches filled with people hovering to get the next one. all the squat racks, haha i say all, i really should say. THE squat rack filled and people hovering for that. I was like fuck this, I went down stairs said goodbye to the sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and pool. Told the chick at the front desk i wanna cancel my shit and for them to stop billing my visa. went home and said hello to my freezing garage, hello to the black widows, and hello to my bench, which will literally be around for the next 100 years if no one melts it down for scrap, and hello to my olympic weight set. Sometimes late at night. When im done with my workout, my eyes mist up and i think back and wonder. I wonder, what the humidity level is at the sauna. 70? 80? 90? I wonder if the jets are running in that jacuzzi so close yet so far away, or are they still broken. I wonder if at that very moment the jacuzzi water is a sparkling tint of blue like i remember it, or if it is the dark yellow color that it usually was.
 
Lol that's funny, but I kinda feel bad for the girl......lol! I remember when I got my membership at Fitness Connection. All I did was walk straight to the free weights and the owner kinda got pissed because I wasn't following him or listening to anything he had to say. The first time I went I didn't get a membership cuz the trainer just took me to all the tread mills and bicep machines and actually made me use each one. After that he tried pulling up his computer program for trying to gain muscle(which I cared nothing about) and it didn't exist. Then he told me I would have to eat 3 to 4 grams of protein to put on any muscle and I argued with him and gave up and said I didn't have a credit card and I think he actually started tearing up.
 
"All 3"... I take it by that you are referring to the "Wide Grip Bicep Curl", the "Close Grip Bicel Curl" and the "Reverse Grip Bicep Curl"???
 
I'm actually gonna be a PT at a fancy gym shortly and i'm gonna feel like a complete douche bag for wasting everyone's time. The shit i see the trainers make them do now is such a joke its not even funny but i guess when you have a 0 activity level you gotta take baby steps before you are doing anything of importance.
 
I went through almost the same deal a few years back. The local BIG name gym was bought out and they hired a team of proffesional trainers, Too funny. I just wanted to see what they had as far as free weights. I travel alot for work and the first thing i look for in a gym is if they have dumbells that go to at least 120 lbs. Anyway, getting back to the story, the little guy insisted on telling me all they had to offer. I must have interupted him 5 times. No, i do not need babysitting. No, i do not need a suana. No, i do not need a jacuzzi. The final was when he asked me what cardio i did. I laughed and i guess insulted him. Poor little guy. He started explaining to me why cardio was so important. I asked him, can you gain weight and strength while doing cardio ? He changed the subject. I took the tour. It ended when i saw the dumbells only went to 80lbs.
 
Whenever some one talks to me about cardio, I tell them to get in the squat rack and tell me that they aren't getting a cardio workout as well.

you better practice your squats on swiss balls BK
 
This guy I worked with awhile back told me his trainer from 24 told him not to do lower body workouts besides running because it is bad for your knees. He said he has been with the guy for 2 years now and pays him weekly and then he went to tell me he works out 4 to 5 days a week.

Its true, you should just run for your lower body. Its all you need. Anything else will destroy your knees, guaranteed! Also you should never ever no matter what people say, never do deadlifts. It will destroy your back! Oh and never ever do squats more then 1/4 of the way down. That will also destroy your knees. Stick to machines they are the best for you! Eat 2000cals a day maximum and do cardio 6-7 days a week. Lets see what else? Oh yeah military press, never do those either. will destroy your shoulders. Dont even get me started with any of the clean movements. Flame on.
 
Obviously I realise the running comments are facetious, but don't PT's realise that when u run 4 times+ your bodyweight hits each leg.

If ur knees can take 10 miles of this, they can take squatting.
 
I run around 10-12 miles/week and I squat. My knees are fine.

Plus I'm old enough to remember Kennedy's inauguration address.

shit that's not good.

It's an obvious question but make sure ur shoes are top notch. Don't want to mess with these things
 
What do you mean? I dont use weightlifting shoes, if I remember I take them off when squatting heavy but normally just keep them on for everything...

I know how I did it... when I was doing overhead squats a few of my reps had wobbly knees in, I did hiit the next day and made them worse and they just havnt got better yet.

I also hurt my lower back twisting during boxing and have walked with a bad posture for a while, so now I started to stand upright whilst walking my upper spinal erectors ache loads, probably not used to the extra effort.

Also my left elbow hurts at the tri insertion if I do heavy skulls or frenchpress.

Yes aches and pains are normal for me right now lol :(
 
I fucked up my knee a few weeks ago and the funny thing is I did it with 135 lbs. I was trying to put it on the rack to get ready for squats and for some reason I was tired as hell that day, but tried to just grab it with not so great form and clean it off the floor and needless to say I couldn't. I ended up dropping the bar on my right knee and twisted it sideways, but I'll never do that again.
 
LMAO! at " I eat evertthing thats not nailed down"

and her saying " why would you want to do that?"

LOL!
