Should I switch gyms???

[Night Fly]

Okay...today I went in for my overhead press/shoulder/tri/chest workout...and I was told by the lady at my desk that the owner said I could no longer use chalk in the gym. I told her that was ridiculous because 1) I only use it for three exercises anyway, and they are all in the same corner of the gym, 2) I am not messy with the stuff, 3) you can't even tell there is chalk on the floor because of the dots in the rubber.

I told her that if he had a problem with it, then he could come to me and talk to me personally....and until then I was going to be using my chalk! Well, during my workout his messenger came in to talk to me (the jackass wasn't even man enough to come talk to me himself). Not only did he interrupt my workout, but I had to wait while he called the owner on the phone.

I finally just wanted to say forget it. I have been a member at that gym for almost three years and he tells me that I can't use my chalk, even when I am not messy with it. I said...either he let me use my chalk or he will lose my membership.

It's been a bad week for me anyway, and this was just the icing on the cake. Do you all blame me for being pissed off??? I HATE froofy gyms anyway.

What would you all do?

use your chalk... screw the gym owner. if he doesnt let you... go live with B fold and use all the chalk your heart desires.

...is there another gym that will allow it -that is what it eventually comes down to

My gym doesn't allow chalk either........

Do like a couple of people there do, sneak it in. One has a little cloth sack that he carries his in. Just be careful with it.







..........My Gold's is a froofy gym too?

Well, the thing is...the owner is never there when I work out...so I really don't see what difference it makes. He is usually only there between 6 and 8 in the morning.

I may just have to switch gyms. I think that there is a more hardcore gym closer to me anyway. It costs like a buck to workout or something....

Who knows...the whole situation just pissed me off because the owner didn't even have the balls to come and talk to me about it himself. I can't STAND that.

What the hell is the problem with having chalk?? It's able to be cleaned ...

I say keep using it Night Fly. But check out that other gym. You may have to be forced to.

I dont' really know what the big deal with using chalk is either...but I guess he doesn't want his froofy gym to get 'dirty'.

Give me a freakin' break!!!

y'know, we had a similar problem at our gym before Hannibal moved up here. No chalk, and no bringing a box in to squat on. So we made do without the chalk, and used a bench to squat on.

Had it been economical to do so, we would've switched at the time. It's a nice fitness center, but it's no place to train as a powerlifter.

hey just curious, do any of you guys have it to where you can put a hold on your membership and start it up later without paying the activation b/s? I do and i put mine on hold, the stupid biotch tells me it wont go into effect for a month and theyre gonna charge me for aug 15 - sep 15 when im not even gonna use it. Is this normal?
