Title: I cant even stretch out my arms anymore!!!
Post by: jaejonna on January 24, 2006, 08:43:51 AM
I go to Ballys in North Bergen NJ since i moved to the area in June. Since then they have been doing non stop registration for new members....

To make a long story short... its 630 pm and the gym is packed beyond belief....

About half of them are fatties that dont do any exercises correct and should consider diet and cardio (something you can do outside of the gym) before they go into the gym and start tinckering with wieghts

Second a quarter of the new people are young skinny ass kids that horseplay and look at girls asses the whole time...

So that leaves about a quarter of the normal people left ...

Is there a rule somewhere that states a club cant have a certain number of people ???

And btw, the people that work there are the least professional staff ive have ever seen... I got a cut and asked for a band aid and they said that I should bring one in next time ... 

Another thing.... Who listens to trainers when they are obese themselves ??

THats my meltdown for the week ...

Mutter to yourself as you lift.  Act a little off kilter.  Obese sheep tend to avoid people like that, for fear of being a victim.

its annoying with a lot of people, but then if it wasnt a lot of people maybe there would be no gym, or more expensive

The thing that works best is making angry faces and sweating all over the equipment.... plus going up to machines and insisting that I work in ...

there should be posted in a public area the maximum number of persons allowed in this space.
the number is determinded by the fire marshall and the sq footage.  if it's over crowded you should consider the safety risk and call the fire marshall.

Who listens to trainers when they are obese themselves ??

babyJae,

You can't judge a trainer by how he looks.  Esp if that trainer is a powerlifter.  They obviously aren't going to have 15% BF like most of the typical "fitness" trainers.  Different goals, different whole mindset.  That doesn't mean they don't know their shit.  Esp when it comes to training a novice who doesn't exercise......

Mutter to yourself as you lift.  Act a little off kilter.  Obese sheep tend to avoid people like that, for fear of being a victim.

^Word.

That's why people never ask to break in on my set.  They know better.  If it's someone who actually lifts, I have no problem, but if it's a baby sheep who wanders around the gym I tend to say "NO".

My gyms pretty much dead from 10AM-4PM & then 9PM-11PM, which works out well because I'm there between 11AM-1PM.

You are obviously gayer than the boxed set of the Second season of What Not to Wear.  And if you wait just 10 minutes, you will be gayer than the 2 hour season premiere of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

How do you know how long the season premiere of that show was?  Did you watch it?

Great point Div. I've seen some HEFTY trainers that really know their stuff and I've also seen some sliced and diced PT's that have absolutely NO CLUE! Some of them barely workout themselves, they're just blessed with a great metabolism. It may be motivating to workout with someone that's "Diesel" but you can't always judge a trainer by looks.

Don't shower between workouts and you'll have plenty of space.
