-The majority of members are old people -There are at least 10 people lounging in the 'lounge'<I'm not kidding> with tables, tv and coffee. -You weigh 195 lbs. at 6' all natural, and you leg press more than anyone there. 8 plates + 1/4 on each side for 6. -There are only 1 or possibly 2 guys who have ever used juice. -The majority of the members look like they DON'T workout. -The majority of the members are senior citizens. - You almost never have to wait for the one squat rack that's there, even during peak time. -There are more machines then freeweights. -You hate most everyone at your gym -They play elevator music as well as jazz -There are at least 4 naked old man chatting in the locker room at all times. -The biggest guy there is 6' 225, he juices but rarely works legs, and also enters natural shows. -The head personal trainer only does bench presses and has a fat ass gut. -You workout at a 'Fitness Center.' -You have the most intensity of anyone there, bar none. -There are 2 seperate rooms for cardio, one for bikes and one for treadmills, and there is one whole room devoted to aerobics classes. -There are two pop machines -You've only seen 3 people squat over 6 plates and one of them was you I could go on forever but I'm starting to get pissed off so I'll stop here... feel free to add..

I agree with most of those, but never in my life, at any gym have I seen someone squat 6 plates! That's a whole lotta weight. I rarely see anyone else squat, let alone 585 lbs! ------------------ | ||

More people do wrist curls than deadlifts. The people working the front desk have never worked out a day in their lives. Nobody except you uses the 150 pound dumbbells. The personal trainers spend more time talking than training their clients. People that you've never seen before say hello to you out of fear and respect. Its closed on Christmas day. | ||

When...for every pound of free weights they have two cybex machines. When they have an indoor tennis court and an indoor spinning room. When they have handball courts. When, on an average day at the gym you'll run into your teacher and your mom. When they have an indoor basketball court. (My gym is guilty of this one) Daycare ------------------ | ||

My gym used to be hardcore but now its going from a weightroom that looks like a shack into a huge fitness center. Luckily they have no more room to put in a spa!!! I will take pics of it soon, its a nice place. They've only allowed one year memeberships now, maybe they are trying to stop beginners from coming in. I sure hope it works. If not there is an ultra hardcore gym downtown. ------------------ | ||

The owner is an overweight plumber that never trains (no offense to any plumbers on the board) When you do a full range of motion on anything he freaks. When you are incline pressing 120's not only does he not spot you he jokes about the different colors of your face as you strain under the weight. Closed for three days to celebrate labor day. Aerobic class is held in the middle of the gym(no shit)the bitch giving the class wears a mic that overrides the soundsystem of the entire gym. IT'S THE ONLY GYM IN THIRTY FIVE MILES!!!!!! | ||

They don't let you use chalk and a crowd of people gather evertime I squat, bench or deadlift. . .it was fun at first but now just stupid and finally all the trainers are fat and out of shape. ------------------ | ||

how bout this one... when there are 2 and 4 pound dumbells when someone actually steals the 30 pounders and break a mirror in the same day when the gym buys a new mirror but doesn't replace the dumbells no squat rack in sight, more guys are doing bench presses on a machine then on the bench, and groaning under 60 pounds everyone has on brand new shoes and spandex tights. | ||

you guys have named everything that goes on in my gym to a "T". although we do have a few big guys, but the majority of the people just come to socialize. there is always just the same people in the weight room, everyone else is out in the main part talkin and havin happy hour watchin one of the 10 TV's and listenin to horrible music. and to beat it all, all the police and firemen in the city get a free membership, so there goes talkin openly with the juicebrothers to find out just how long they have actually been on cycle. mike ------------------ | ||

Heres my pussy gym... -Has a hot tub, suana, steam room, and heated pool. -Has about 10 tvs placed throughout the building. -Has a raquetball court. -Has tanning booths. [I don't need that shit; naturally dark baby  ]-Are at least 4 old men chatting naked in the locker room. [serious; just tell myself to look at the ceiling] -Its called the 'Sports Club'. -There are 2 seperate rooms for cardio, one for bikes and one for treadmills, and there is one whole room devoted to aerobics classes. -I've only seen 3 people squat, I'm one of them. -Personal trainers spend more time talking than training. -Closed on Christmas. -It has a day care. Pussy gym? I think so. But its 40 a month and the other one was 35, but closed down and turned into a bakery. ------------------ | ||

When... The dumbbells never see 3 digits. It is biceps-curl gallore in the squat racks and no one seems to mind. The total combined area dedicated to cardio machines exceeds the total combined area dedicated to weights. You can't deadlift to your maximum potential because the bars are completely smooth due to age (no joke, they're that old). Every time you are asked to spot someone on the bench, it feels like he's the one spotting you doing barbell curls. People walk up to your power rack and start stretching on the pullup bar just before you begin a set of squats, yet they don't seem to understand why you get upset moments later. There's a big sign that says to re-rack your weights, but there are weights all over the place. There's no incline bench. Spandex gallore. Chicken-legs gallore. Girls with fat asses and chicken legs in spandex gallore. There are ceiling fans and air conditioner vents all over the place going at full blast. Hello? I'M KIND OF SWEATING HERE! There's no dip belt to be found. You only weigh 174lbs, yet everyone is amazed by how much you can squat. You are the ONLY person who deadlifts. You are asked not to do cleans because they are "dangerous." I think that's all I can think of for now. Luckily for me, this isn't the only gym for 500 miles. I could either go to this gym (my college gym) for free, or I could pay $189 a year to go to the gym 3 minutes from my house. Guess who spent $189 the day after the semester ended? =) -Warik [This message has been edited by Warik (edited December 27, 2000).] | ||

When you ask the guy at the front desk where the free weights are and he says "We don't sell any weights or have any to give away." |
