I hate the swarms of people that come in at 3 pm. I live in college so there is a 50 by 70 foot weight room, 3 benches 2 declines, 2 inclines, 3 squat racks. And weights only go up to 100lbs. It just gets so full i cant walk around. So im changin things up and lifting in the morning

Dudes that sit on Equipment and B.S. with each other. Should be illegal to talk in the gym.

I hate the heat mostly. There's little or no ventilation and no airco. in the locker rooms they have a sauna and the ventilation of the sauna comes out in the locker room, making it just as warm as the sauna itself in summer time.

Second, the music. They always putt on some crappy mellow station. Grrrrrrr, working out on love songs ain't to funny!

yup...they fuckin think cuz there is an 1" of snow on the ground they can close.....honestly...the owners are more concerned about money in their pockets rather then the health of the members.....their website doesnt even mention weights or have pictures of the equipment...all it is supplements...i mean the people that work there and him for that matter dont even try the supplements that they sell and then when someone ask about something they act like they have tried everything and it has worked real well for them....:rolleyes: everytime i hear his sales pitch i start luaghing and later on he asks me what i was laughing about earlier and i say "nothing"

I work out at home, don't hate much about it. Have some nice equipment, the only thing I hate I don't have is a peck deck, and some different cable machines, I only have 1 that I can do lat pulldown, tricep pull downs and thats about it.

my gym has hot ass girls, the music sucks, they have a lot of good weights where db go up to 160, it does get too packed at about 5:00, every cardio machine has it's own interactive monitor with cd/dvd player. But the one thing I cannot stand about the place is the damn locker room. After my morning workout, I shower there and then go to work. The locker room is way too small. The have a sauna and a steam room in the locker room but no god damn circulation. I walk out after showering and getting dressed like I just did my cardio. Drenched with sweat. I hate it. Considering changing gyms just because of that.

Misic sucks like everywher else. Some of the machines have run out of weight for BigShug and me. The dumbells only go to 150# and for some exercises that sucks. We also have some dude who wears spandex and pink Polo shirts everyday. i would love to smash his fingers in the leg press!

04-22-2003, 08:55 PM
Dumbells are in 5 lb incraments till 80, then they go to 10 lb untill 110, then its straight to 130 LBS!!! How the hell am I supposed to make a 20 lb jump!!! Them b*stards.......only 3 good looking women, too many 120 lb "know it all's"

But its cheap as hell, anf the owner lets me do electric work for him to pay for it!!! :)

I second the people who sit on the bench and talk... pisses me off when it is crowded. Work out or move out.

No water fountain in my current gym... and they charge for towels to the shower - or you have to bring your own, which makes my laundry pile up.

They have shitty leg extension machines. I wish they would get the Hammer Strength ones...

Other wise.... love the gym.

I hate the music also.. And the dipshits that get on a bench or whatever and your waiting to use it and it takes them like 20 mins to finish cos they gotta socialize between sets.. I always put the pressure on them , i just stand there and keep asking are u almost done.. And lastly the same little dipshits that stand in the mirror and think that in 2 weeks of training they are massive, often complimenting themselves.. The gym really sux sometiumes, but you just gotta go..

04-24-2003, 04:05 AM
OK, the last thing I'm gonna rant about here are the guys that do partial reps and act like they're doing something.......case in point - about 3 yrs ago, long before I could ever think about putting up 200lbs or more with military presses, I had a friend come to me and say that he was putting up 205 for reps overhead......I was floored, as I could barely put up the 65 lb dumbells for a few good reps. So, he comes to my "tuff" gym and does his almighty overhead presses, down and up, with the line of motion directly over his head and stopping about 3 inches from the top of his head......yeah buddy, you can really build big shoulders with a 6" range of motion

Badgermoon

I see people doing half-reps all the time. I'm guessing they think it is doing them more good than a full rep w/ good form would. Another thing I see. Guys using say a curl machine to do standing rows, or some similar move. A couple reps like that and time to chat some more. They usually seem to have the impression that they are the shiat too. One guy was on a machine with a foot bar to get the machine into position for a seated press, he was using the positioning foot bar to do upper legs. WTF?

I love my gym- brand new- huge.. indoor track, pool and bball, my daughter loves the babysitting room.. awesome staff.. (hehe including me)

I dont have one complaint.

LA
04-24-2003, 01:49 PM
Ok, I'll add one to the partial rep guys. Now I'd say the majority of people either do weight that is way too lite (don't want to get big now- like Ronnie stays up nights worrying about you) or partial reps.

But there is this group in the gym who have taken too much weight to a new high. For example this guy was doing an upright row and barely getting the reps out. Now this doesn't sound bad but he was spotting his friend doing a bench press at the time. I actually stopped my workout to watch. It was that unbelievable! I probably would have never noticed them except for the grunting. It's one thing for the guy who's lifting the weight to grunt, it's another for the spotter to grunt with him.

Unfortunately this is not an isolated instance. You should see them on the leg press some time.
