I recently switched to one of those commercial gyms as my local spot closed its doors.This commercial gym does the usual mo-mo stuff like heavily pushing personal training and their 20 minute workout circuit trainning (aka get the fuck out of our gym quick training system, increase customer turn-around i suppose) all catering to their shockingly unfit regulars. i mean it just looks like a collection of people, you would have zero idea any of these muppets went to the gym. let alone lifted weights.
However that's not the problem. The problem is they keep it hotter then devils taint in the fucking place. come out from the change room with my cold water bottle and the fucking water bottle is sweating before i even do my first set. atleast 32 celius or 90 F in there. The building there in has central air too, office building. i know there is AC available. It wasn't only at this location either, i've been to atleast three different locations. all same hot as fucking shit.
So heres my guess: There is clear policy in place suggesting the gym should be hot as ever loving shit
But why? well heres a few reasons:
1. Increase customer turnaround. People actually workingout and breaking down muscle fibers versus just sweating all over shit means people stay longer, hence its more crowded and thus decreased sales.
2.Tricks these fucking casuals into thinking they did something in the gym. "Wow such a tough work out do you see the sweat on my fucking brow bro???'
3. Sell more water.
I swear these mother fuckers are looking for a fucking lawsuit. Is their grounds to sue these fuckers if someone dies of heat stroke???? fuck these fags.
P.S gym is a very popular chain in Canada btw

How about just keeping the conspiracy simple and realizing that the electric bill kills gym profits in the Summer months?

Too much words.
Why not join another gym or go fuck yourself? :)

It got up to 92 in my gym yesterday, I don't have AC and I don't sell water. We have cups and a water machine. People who train here and gyms like mine knows what to expect. The slows them down a little but they finish the training and keep coming back.

goodlife or anytime fitness?

you shouldnt train in a commercial gym
just go to a bodybuillding / powerlifting / weightlifting gym
a lot of douchebags there too, but nothing a portable music player cant fix
cheap and well equiped

Fuck that shit, my old boxing gym had airco and everything, but it was so tiny with so many people training when 1 group finished training sweat was on the walls and the ceiling and shit even with AC on full the sweat would drip from ceiling. After warm up you would die of fucking heat stroke. And when get in the ring at the end fucking floor was almost slippery due to sweat, gross come to think of it now. haha.

I love working out in a hot gym and sweating like a pig that is the hardcore way, ronnie coleman workout in the middle of the day when its over 100 degrees and I dont hear him complaining.
-
My gym has massive windows all around but none open. It is always busy and they never ever put on aircon, so even though I'm in Ireland it is like a sauna when it is 15C and sunny outside. Been wearing shorts to train since March. Water gets turned off by local council after 8pm now too, it's a piss take.
Trained in Brazil both times there in Late November/Early December (their summer). Was 37C and humid (was 44C in Rio) but at least they had a fan you could walk up to between sets for some relief.
