Should I switch gyms???

[p03t1c]

that is horrible. they didn't allow chalk in my old gym either. that's why i workout at home now. i got way too tired of the stuff i had to put up with. they were always telling me i was doing things wrong and this and that. whatever...

I lift at home and use all of the chalk that I want but to be fair
to my local rec center gym management, they allow chalk and
even supply it.

If the owner of your gym does not give and allow you to use
chalk, find one that does.

My yuppie gym banned chalk or any kind of powder when the whole "Anthrax Scare" was going on. freaking lame. They also play classical music and easy listening through the PA system. Try 20 rep squats listening to "In the Arms of the Angel" or whatever the fuck that song's called.

I would refer to your membership agreement. There may be something in there about HOW the owner has to establish the rules that you're required to follow as part of your agreement. Maybe you can find a loophole that will let you get out of your agreement, if nothing else.

I was going to do this, but for some reason, the gym has lost my contract. Ever since I have been a member at this gym something has been screwed up. There have been several different owners/workers...and the members have been almost like employees at a restaurant....they workout there for a bit and then go on somewhere else.

what do you need chalk for?

Because when I lift heavy, I use it for my grip. I don't use gloves or straps....so it is the only thing the keeps my hands from getting sweaty so I can hold on to the bar. That's why.

No chalk at my gym either (there is even a sign saying so). Yeah, its lame, but I'm OK with it.

However, if it bothers you that much Night Fly, then take your business elsewhere. I know I wouldn't give my hard earned cash to a gym I disliked, especially if I thought i was mistreated.

Why not chalk up in the toilets and then head back?
