As many of you longtime gbers might remember, Bruno is the gym manager where I train. In the past he implemented a brilliant plan to help seperate the twinks (sub-200) from the full-grown men. He gave the little guys their own area in the back of the gym with db's up to 40lbs, some Swiss balls and stretch tubes. It's been a hit.
Well for 2011, Bruno has developed another sure-fire success.... we all know how annoying it is when the "New Years resolution" crowd clogs up the gym right? Well, Bruno's plan is to run a year special on membership if paid in full....he will bring the new members around and me and the boys will be very courteous.....until they sign the contract......then on the following visits, we are going to intimidate them into not coming back. this way it keeps our membership costs down, makes Bruno money, keeps the gym looking less crowded for new members and keeps the equipt and toilets from over-use.
And Bruno is thinking of just making it a year round idea, and don't worry he's going to give me the old-school head nod to let me know when it's a potential new member so we will know who to spot, encourage, etc....
What does gb think?

honestly,
I got nothing to say ;D

Unlkess the hard core type alone can keep the place afloat, this will be an eventual business disaster.
The place will develop a bad reputation with most falks and could get serious complains from the Better Business Bureau.
Good luck ::)

Howard, Bruno is very innovative and his ideas aren't the typical nonsense you see in other gyms. I fully expect this one to work out as well as the "Twink Zone" he created.

I weigh less than 200 and I can occasionally lift the 45s.
Of course it has to be the first movement of the workout and after a big carb-up. ;D

Just do some post-workout carb loading with Bruno and the boys and he will make sure you meet the weigh-in requirements....or just show up post -Christmas dinner from your family gathering.....no problem.

Nah,205-210lb.Just do some post-workout carb loading with Bruno and the boys and he will make sure you meet the weigh-in requirements....or just show up post -Christmas dinner from your family gathering.....no problem.

Maybe, but running members off AFTER they paid sounds like a BAD idea to me.

That joys me.
Though only if there will be a victim zone, where slamming weights to the ground is mandatory and Howard serves as a floor mat.

For sure. Bruno calls it the "Judgement Zone" where if a twink wanders near you are free to announce your presence with authority....
