A gym where you can't do deadlifts isn't a gym.

This is a disgrace.

I used to train at a Golds gym.  They never enforced those rules.  Why is it against the rules to bring a gallon of water?  Strange. 

One time I went in the locker room to use the restroom and one of the employees was telling some old man that he has to leave and that he no longer has a membership at the club.  It was funny because apparently the reason he got kicked out was because he yelled at or tried to start a fight with another member.  Wonder if the old dude ever found another gym.

I workout at six different Golds around my area.
Not a single one of them have those rules, nor are they enforced.

Where is this particular Gold's located?

Here in Mormonville, several gyms have that ridiculous 'no tank tops' rule, too.

Gyms have found the mainstream........All the major supplement companies are switching to sports nutrition, and they are trying to distance themelves from the current form of clown bb's.

Honestly, considering the current state of the industry - are you shocked? There is far more money catering to " tiny tits", and cardio freaks, than bb's.

Are you saying that the average person who earns enough to afford a gym membership makes more money than the average hardcore bodybuilder?

Pretty much, and there are tens of millions of "average" people who make decent money. Also, the higher income crowd tends to care about fitness, and they will pay for it.

When I was working out in downtown Boston, memberships at crunch ( only gym in my area) where $100.00 bucks a month, and the place was mobbed. Not a single pro bb to be found.

The gym was well equipped, and even had a boxing ring.I worked out at the south Boston golds for a few years, and I was amazed how there was no bb's in the gym. Niche gyms that cator to bb's can make a lot of money, but on a national level, the tiny tits and cardio crowd drive the income of these bb's.

the median household income is $61,000+ for the people who have gym memberships in the U.S.
