Ok I'll bite. What's the message, 6060842?
They have a similar sign at the LA Fitness I go to in the men's room. Its pretty funny for a few reasons:
1. I've never been in another gym that had such a sign
2. The place has more obvious users than any other gym I've ever belonged to, and
3. The sign is really non-threatening. It basically says steroids may cause growth plate closure in teens, gyno and baldness, and may subject you to civil/criminal penalties, but it doesn't mention the serious sides like liver, kidney, cardiac issues, etc. Its kind of like if cigarette manufacturers put a warning like - these might be bad for you *shoulder shrug*
Overall, its been a good experience though. Granted there's very little powerlifting going on, but that's more a function of the members, its not discouraged. All the equipment is brand new and well maintained. And, there is a ton of eye-candy everywhere (female). Of course, being in CT, there's also quite a few gays pretending to workout and really just watching other dudes. Creepy, but I've found its like that in every gym I've belonged to in CT and MA.
