Idiots that run gyms

[The Squadfather]

You try so hard anymore these days, it used to come natural to you...


I prefer the "dungeon" type of gym but the point I was getting at is the owner doesn't cater to BBers really but since he doesn't get the gym up nice he also doesn't really cater to the fitness bunnies or seniors. He wonders why he gets so many complaints and it's cause he doesn't know how to run his business. Hell most the memebers have never even seen him or know who he is. He has only been in the gym three times I can think of in the past 9-12months....

i wasn't trying to be funny just honest, guys like you need every little thing to be perfect to train, dollars to donuts says you're the type of guy who complains that your gym doesn't have 180 pound db's when your top set of db inclines is with the 90's.

Well lets see, I think my gym is to "neat for my liking" yet I hear ALOT of complaints that it's too dirty. I worked out in my garage for almost almost 2 yrs and I liked that atmosphere, I would love to be able to train at Metro Flex in Arlington Texas. Me and my manager are attempting to get the owner to go up to 150lbs on the db (only go to 120lbs now), we as well as some members need something heavier for rows, presses, shrugs etc...)

hahahaha, yeah of course, a monster like you NEEDS the 150's.

Honestly no not yet, I am not the kind of idiot who picks up weight that's to big and try to impress people. Right now the most I usually go up to is about 110-120lbs depending on how I feel, and that's for working reps not maxing out.

Have any of you guys moved and looked for a new gym and there are idiots that run it. Generally they also include mornons.

What's a mornon? Is that a religion based in Utah?

I swear to god, there's this one spot in the men's locker room that hasn't been mopped in months.......then there's this empty can of "energy drink" just sitting by the smith machine...I wonder how long it will last...it's been a week and a half so far.

Haha hilarious.

What I hate is the middle age women who just run their mouths and gossip.  My favorite is when they are actually talking DURING their set.  Or the people on their cell phones.
I've been training for over twenty years and competed a while back.  I can honestly say that I don't talk to anyone while I'm at the gym.  Not that I'm unfriendly but I'm there to get my workout in and then get out.

YES!  It is pretty much been established personal trainers, for the most part, are completely out of the loop when it comes to fitness/building muscle.  I've noticed most gym managers are on a power trip.  They treat the staff and the customers like serfs in some medieval kingdom.  Probably the first bit of authority they ever held heh.

Now, there was one gym I used to go to 6-7 years ago were the owner/manager was pretty cool.  He updated the equipment and would come out on the gym floor and say hello.  Never got in the way....just a simple "Hi, have a great workout".  Grunting was allowed, deadlifts allowed, and they played loud techno music.  Dude even put in the little paper towel racks and disinfectant to wipe down machines.  hahaha, no towel nazi's like the gym I go to now.  Depends on who is working the front desk though whether or not they towels lol!  Besides this one guy....everyone else who ran the gym was pretty much clueless, asshat, or both.

That sounds like the gym i own  You are welcome to stop by..
