What do you like or dislike about your gym

**chrispghmuscle** · 05-19-2007, 08:05 AM

Hi guys. I was on my way home last night from working my 12 hour shift, sitting at a computer desk and was think about contributing the dungeon on a specific item. BTW I had a great laugh from Mygeeto's thread. Utterly hysterical. So anyway let me ask everyone a question if you go to a local gym to workout this pertains to you, if not then for all the younger guys this could be some good advise.

What do you like or dislike about your current gym. Some may love there gym and not want anything to change. But what about the other's. Below are some of mine.

1. Put your plates back on the weight tree, don't leave them on the floor to trip over.
2. Yo dumbells are in increments of 5 put them back in order.
3. There's one phone and 3 training staff sitting at the desk, get up and walk around and help the younger guys and girls with there workouts and watch there form.
4. Having pictures on the wall of the current Mr.O and all the former O's is great motivation.

I'm going to stop here and let anyone put there 2 cents in. Now I know not all gyms are managed the same and thats great. I know some gyms lease there equipment, my wife and I where going to buy a local gym and make a start of it. But then we had our son and things change dramatically.

Thanks Chris

1 up to the self-help thread. That has become my favorite stopping point. Can't you just see MyGeeto giving this advice in person, with a serious face.

"It's because nobody likes you. Especially me." then smiles all nice like.

As for racking the weights. I'm with you on that brother. For all the folks out there that don't believe they have to rack the weights:

1) You should be working out at your home gym so that the only one you can injure is yourself.
2) If you can't be bothered to put your weights back, hire somebody to follow you around to do it for you. It is not my job, and you don't pay me to do it, so who do you expect to do it for you. You $hit.

Yes the dumbell rack. I hate having to hunt around for dumbells. They don't even leave the pairs of dumbells together, you find one but still have to hunt for the other.

Is it me or are all gyms just cold as hell,, it doesn't need to be freezing in there just a comfortable temp. I like to break a sweat, but i have a towel to wipe my self off.

**chrispghmuscle** · 05-19-2007, 12:08 PM

ok cold as hell is not a good example , cold as a freezer..

Pros:

Nobody is ever there, the weights are always put back, have db up to 120 and all of the equipment I need.

Cons:

Hot in the summer

& we have holes the size of wheel tires from where guys dropped dumbells. we never get round to fixing them

or we could all stop complaining about gym stuff. go lift and worry about other things than someone who didnt put a couple of light plates away. as for searching for dumbbells. go to a better gym most places pick them up if they dont or you dont have another gym, then just be happy you got one alot of people have to travel 30-45 minutes just to lift. also this is like the 400th thread like this. probably just someone looking for attention alot like the other ones. im sure your cool tho. have fun

Mygeeto · 05-20-2007, 03:17 AM

in MY gym, when i get one running, ill pay prostitutes to walk around looking hot, keeping the atmosphere about, picking up weights after everyone uses them and cleaning the machines
