Let me tell you all about Sid at my gym. I recently moved to a new area and had to call around to find the right kind of gym for a lifter like myself. I called this one in particular and a bad ass named Sid answers the phone. Immediately I liked the way this sounds. You picture a guy named Sid at a gym has to be 6'3'' 270 and lifting his whole life. So I asked him a few questions about whether an advanced lifter like myself would fit in at his gym. He speaks to me with true enthusiasm how I sound perfect for this gym and would fit in just fine. He practically offered to work out with me if I needed a partner. I was stoaked to check this place out and told Sid I'd meet him in 2 hours, once I got off work.
So the time comes and I walk in to this "Health Club" wiht my weight belt and protein shake in hand. I stomp up to the desk and ask this mess of a man to get Sid for me because he was expecting me to show up. His reply is... "My name is Sid, I think we spoke earlier." Let me describe Sid to all of you. I'd say Mid 50's, about 5'0'' and he did keep true to the 270 lb frame that i expected. I was extremely dissapointed with this. However, I did end up joining this "Health Club" because me and my buddy Big AA are the only ones that use the free weights.
I"m just wondering if anyone else has encountered such trickery as a fat old man named Sid convincing them to join a gym. If anyone is in North Jersey and wants to see Sid just shoot me a PM and I think it can be arranged. You won't be dissapointed. My favorite part of this board are the gym stories, so I wanted to take part.
