Title: What Percentage of people in your gym are using steroids?
Post by: old-school-lifter on December 28, 2014, 03:14:15 PM
im shocked at how many people are using steroids today compared with 15 years ago.

I train at a 24 hour fitness chain of gyms- not at all a hardcore BB gym and id say @ least 3 out of 5 guys are using steroids and prob 1 in 10 females.

15 years ago, id say it was more around 1in 5 guys and 1 in 25 females

and the worst thing is they all say they are natural  ::)

about 5 people that I have seen now in my current gym. so maybe that's 2-3% of the gymgoers. recreational juicers and wannabe tough guys. puffed up for a while you see them a few months then dissapears when cycle is over. all weak though. neither benches even > 315

pretty pathetic... and they never squat or deadlift.

Just a couple from what I think, the one is a midget with red skin and huge arms but it looks like he's carrying Lake Ontario under them so it's not impressive. the other is just his goonie who is very fat with no shape and pale skin. I do recall seeing this kid that was huge awhile back, I saw him last week and he was very small so I have to assume...

Where in Toronto?
I train at good life yonge and king. Maybe 1 or 2 as it's a white collar corporate crowd.

I also train at yonge and adelaide, tons of guys juicing there.

I go to the various YMCAs, usually the North York one.

Have a cottage up north so also use the Ys in Wasaga Beach/Collingwood/Owen Sound.

I go to LA Fitness. I go in the late morning. So it's a bit of an older crowd (not Wes old) but 35-45 year old guys. And of course some older and ypunger. I'd say maybe 5%. At least that's noticable. Many some are using bad kits from you know who  ::)

Back in the day in the early 80's and late 70's bodybuilding gyms were about 98% men. After Pumping Iron when Gold's, World, Power House and others became chains is when women started coming into gyms. Now it seems gyms are 50% women.  Since chain places like LA Fitness and Retro cater to regular non bodybuilders steroid use is really low. Back in the day it seemed everyone did cycles. Now the chain gyms are filled with fitness people lifting that don't use.

Not many since I go to a commericial gym. I'm guessing around 5% of the men juice. Most are pretty clueless in regards to the topic and probably think that creatine is a type of steroid.
Only last week some guy told me that he has quit taking protein shakes because they were making him "too muscular" and that wasn't the look he was going for. ::) :D

Are you doing a survey? Realistically, how do you know they are using PED's. The best you can do is guess about this. I work out at a gym where there are several hardcore lifters. There are very few folks who I would guess are using steroids based on their development, skin tone, and other usual giveaways. Perhaps you just think these folks are using.

By my estimate if more then 2-3% are, they need to get their money back.
