My gym closed for weekend, WTF?

[neonlizard]

I went to my gym yesterday and it was closed :curse: due to construction and said to check their Facebook page for updates, so I did. It said it would be open today at 7am. I roll up around 11 only to see a sign that said "Closed for the weekend, sorry for the inconvenience." Pretty pissed, so I went home and did shoulders with a set of dumbbells, hey, better than nothing. I'm gonna milk this one for a free month or something! Or maybe settle for a couple protein shakes, I dunno. I'm sure nobody cares but I wanted to vent.

That sucks dude. I've finally landed in a 24 hour gym that I can visit any day of the year. It is great!

 

[neonlizard]

Sick! I've got to find something like that. I'm headed to the gym my girl works at now. Never worked out "with" her before so this should be interesting.

Anything is better than nothing, you might be surprised and get in a better workout at her gym

 

[neonlizard]

It's a ritzy yuppie gym, lol. Memberships start at $157/mo so it was interesting. I felt like the only one there who wasn't there simply to socialize but it was super nice. Sports Club LA it's called. I'd never dealt with a bathroom attendant at a gym before yesterday, lol. I can get my own paper towels to dry my hands thank you very much.

Hahaha...did they have someone there to lift the weights for you to?

 

[neonlizard]

Lol. Nah, but there were "assistants" to help you with whatever you might need on hand. I'm stoked to go back to my blue collar worker gym this evening!

 

[big in vegas]

Man that's fucking nuts. I don't know what the hell I'd do with myself at a place like that. It sounds more like a Country Club than a gym

 

[big in vegas]

You should've had the assistants load up the leg press with everything it could hold then do one rep and not get it and make them help you get it back up

Sounds like a good reality tv show. Follow Big around with a camera as he tries funny ways to get kicked out of yuppie gyms across the country.

Haha, I'll definitely need to use the place again at some point. Maybe I'll come I'll with a gameplan to "get the most" out of the assistants, lol. Oh yeah, maybe this is commonplace at nice gyms, but if you use your cell phone while on the gym floor, they walk up to you and hand you a card that says no cell phone use except in the lobby. Didn't happen to me but to some guy right by me. I'm not a big fan of people yapping away on their cell at the gym but I'm usually blasting some ABR or Devil Wears Prada so I can't hear em anyway.

 

[big in vegas]

I'd definitely make sure these bastards earned their money. I'd almost make a mockery of it to be honest just because it's so absurd. The funny thing would be to use your phone and then tell them you can't read when they hand you the card

 

[neonlizard]

Haha. I told my girlfriend I was gonna do something along those lines and then tell them she was my GF, lol. Good way to not get some for a while prolly

 

[neonlizard]

Oh yea, she works there if I didn't mention that.
