So I went to the new Gold's that opened up in my area and did a week trial...gym was decent, but I still have 6 months left on my membership at my current gym. I was working near the Gold's today so to save a little time I thought, rather than drive the extra 20 min to my gym, I'd just train at Gold's. So I asked what they charged for a drop in fee and the spandex wearing, never lifted a weight in her life, trophy tart at the counter chips, $21... I said you gotta be shittin' me, and she replied with...but if you keep your reciept, you can apply it to a membership if you buy one this week. I laughed and walked out, drove to my gym and had a fantastic leg workout. My blood was boiling,
Now I'm not sure if I'll bother switching gym's. I'm not quite happy where I am as they have a basket ball court with no devider between it and the weights, and when all the Joe shmoe wanna be b-ballers miss the net, the ball goes flying into the weight area. Hard to do heavy lifts, when a basketball goes flying by your fukin head.
I'd love to train at Hazbin's gym, but it's just to far to travel every day.
Hard to find a good Gym these days, ya know?

this is more of a concern then paying $21

-
Wait... $21? Not $20 but $21? This story stinks.

LOL Fuck that basketball flying by your head shit bro. That would drive me nuts. How can you lift with that going on?

Who was the genius who designed it to be that way....
EDIT: Yeah, Gold's drop in fees are fucking ridiculous.

$21?!!! does that include a happy ending? :D
And lol @ basketball on the loose, epic fail!

Are you bi-polar?

-
Are you bi-polar?
Gold...good catch. ;D

Odd, I pay $34 a month for my membership at Golds Venice. $21 for a drop in is retarded.

whoever designed that gym is insane. I've been a member at 2 different Golds and the hoops were either outside or in a completely different room along with the ring and/or cage, bags..etc for fighters.
...anyway...try a different front desk person and ask for the manager..etc. (calmly) and tell them just what you told us..distance, gym sucks..etc but you are locked in another 6 months..etc, you REALLY REALLY like his gym...etc but you can't do the 21 fee thing...can we work out a deal..etc,etc. because you are going to join his gym regardless...etc,etc.
he'll either work out a deal. I had one where I was only paying $15/mo contract was until 2010 lockin deal (ended up moving so I got out of it, but keeping it wouldn't have hurt) or something where you sign up that day but your price is lower to help you out but you lock in years..etc OR he'll tell you to fk off somewhere else!!!!
doesn't hurt to try ya know. Nothing like getting a chest pass to your head doing deads. lol

try Globo Gym ask for White Goodman
"At Globo Gym, we understand that "Ugliness" and "Fatness" are genetic disorders, much like baldness or necrophilia, and it's only your fault if you don't hate yourself enough to do something about it.
And that's where we come in. Globo Gym employs a highly-trained, quasi-cultural staff of personal alterational specialists. And with our competitively-priced on-site cosmetic surgery, we can turn that Frankenstein you see in the mirror every morning into a Franken-fine! "

Are you bi-polar?
and I have A.D.D. , and I'm Autistic, and my daddy didn't love me, and nobody likes me... :'(
Got anything else you wanna diagnose me with Doc? :P
BTW, the Gym with the B-ball court is not the Gold's...
In fact, the Gold's isn't that bad....just wayyy overpriced for a fad gym.

about an hour north ..have you ever tried "destination perfection" or "BJs gym" (bad name i know) there used to be a gym more in the south east then where this sounds called just"the gym" always used to see thier gyms shirts at shows in the late 90's (pretty cool shirt) i have never been to those other two but destinantion perfection is owned and ran by Dan Dufresen and that BJs gym is listed in the ABBA site (but then again so is a curves lol take it as you want it i guess)
i still like hazbins gym, I remeber how that place was it, back in the late 90's well for everyone form my small town when ever the local gym closed up for a holiday we always pilled in the car and drove down and then a large chunk of my friends ended up living close by there so we would always go there to "get our swole on" then go out to "grind up on every peace of pussy till our dicks fell off" but then again that was back before guidos, so it was cool then ha ha ha ;D

not really. if the drop in was $2, every shit stain in the area would be in and out of there....bums taking showers, stealing toilet paper...16year olds in tank tops flexing and throwing weights around....
$21 drop in fee either makes cheap fucks walk out, or dumb fucks just sign up for a membership. either way, golds wins....

I trained at BJ's wayyy back in the day, when Owen hart and Davey Boy Smith were still alive. BJ was Owen's brother in law. I trained at "The Gym" before Rob took it over (used to be called Flex Appeal and is in the NE) And I continued to train there for years after. That was a great gym, but things change, ya know? The one you are thinking of in the SE is called Dynamic fitness...it's not bad. I trained there for a year, and a big plus is that they have a mono lift.
Never trained at Dan's gym (he used to train at "The Gym" when he was still competing as a teen). Hazbin has one of the only "hard core" style gym's left in Calgary, but like I said...it's just too far. (40 min drive from my house) Too bad too as he's a good friend of mine, and I'd rather give him my money. (not that that cheap bastard needs it :P)
So you must be in Red Deer then?

Well your Gold's must be in the slums...sorry to hear that. This one is in a good area and there would be no bums hanging out there and there are already lots of 16year olds in tank tops flexing and throwing weights around, because thier mommy's and daddy's buy them whatever they want.
Oh, and BTW...Gold's didn't win this time. ;D

no little town called olds its about 40 mins north of calgary

Are you bi-polar?
haha ive done the same thing many of time. It's crazy...pay someone to watch me workout....fools.
