Had a little scrawny guy load up 6 plates on eachside on legpress... Kid had to be 5'10 120 pounds. He was wearing a pink short sleeve with his sleeves rolled up.. And a hat on backwards of course. I was thinking dang this kid might actually have some strong legs! Needless to say I kept watching. He didnt even unrack the legpress! He litterarly pushed it up 2 inches and let it slam back down on the safety things. He proceded to do it about 5 more times.. Then he got up and left the weight on there -_-
I love this thread for the express reason to vent my frustrations. This is an excellent bump. I started training at Gold's Gym in Pittsburgh for the past 6 weeks, so I can be around some other National Competitors to give me some motivation for The North American Championships. Anyway, the owner pulled me aside tonight and said to me that he had received over 20 complaints about me for: intimidation, dropping F-bombs, slamming weights, etc. He politely said I had to tone it down a little bit or he would have to ask me to leave. When he was telling me this I felt my temperature rise to about 200 degrees. I said, "fuck it, this is a gym not a nursing home. Do you expect me to pass out lollipops and sing lullabies"? I thought dude was way out-of-line for confronting me about those kind of Mickey Mouse reasons. I feel the gym is a battleground, not a playground, so I told him to fuck off and I quit the gym.

Exactly!!
golds gym has turned into a pussy gym but thats how they roll now.. they cater to the average weekend warrior.. they just want the monthly flow payments, they don't want the daily members who use the equipment everyday. all about making money
i'm opening up my own gym soon for this reason. everything is allowed.. only rule is you clean up your sweat, puke, or piss..

they were smart... all they did was cater to a niche that is out there. lets face it most gym goers go 2-3X per week tops and stick to the elliptical, other cardio, and machines. thats all they need and thats all they care about. so the $10 a month gyms fit them perfectly.
guys/gals like us there just isn't many of, plus we are the worst people for gyms cause we show up almost everyday and work the shit out of the equipment. only reason the gym i am opening up has a chance to work is its gonna be in a part of the country with a lot of juiceheads.. no way could i open a place like this up in 95% of the country and be able to survive
gyms are very difficult to keep open because members constantly quit and give up.. very hard to grow membership thats why gyms are so obsessed with signing you up with a contract. they know that you probably will quit after a few weeks
come on in
