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
