Um when you scan the barcode tag it beeps, therefore beep thingy.

Ballys does the same thing.  I love it when I go in and my card doesn't scan because the bar code wore off after a whopping 3 weeks and when the front desk monkey offers to give me a new card for a mere $10 I say "No thanks, I'm jewish.. just type it in."

Just another way to con you out of your $$$$.. fuck em.

they're on a fuccking tear at my Gold's enforcing the "rules", so far in the last week they've yelled at people for cursing, talking too loud, having a gym bag on the gym floor, drinking coffee in the gym and using chalk. ::)

Every few months?  I joined Va Beach Gold's in 2004 and even after I got kicked out, I kept the yeytag so I could use other Gold's when I traveled.  anyway, I just got rid of it when I joined the Gold's in Arlington, so I had it for almost 4 years.

What are you doing with those things???? ;D
