My gym is turning into Planet Fitness

[RickRock]

I wanted to share a little story with you guys of what I've been going through at my gym the last couple days. My gym is a nice place with decent equipment. It's a private gym, only available for employees and their families of where I work and is completely free. Over the last year they have gone through a lot of improvements and renovations, and just 10 days ago finally got the weight room done and all the equipment moved back in. It has brand new flooring, mirrors, drywall, everything.

So yesterday, I was doing flat DB bench presses. I warmed up a couple sets like normal, and then started my working set with the 130lb DBs. I had a good set and got them for 9 (rest 20 seconds) then 3 (rest 20 seconds) then 2 as part of my rest paused set to failure in my DC training. As some of you know, at the end of the set, it can be difficult getting those DBs down without dropping them a little. So, at the end of my set I set them on my chest, extended my arms as close to the floor as I could and released them about 6 inches off the floor.

After that, the owner had a conversation with me about dropping the weights on the floor, and I expressed my concern to her that there was no way to set those down without risking injury in the position I was in, without a spotter to take them.

I had a conversation with her earlier in my session about acquiring some new equipment that I thought was beneficial. I asked about getting some hammer strength equipment. Her reply was "This is not a power gym, this is a wellness center. We don't need things like that here. The last thing we need is muscled up meatheads in here. It's already been mentioned to me that you are intimidating to some people in here, and that's not the environment we want to provide" WHAT? Seriously? Intimidating? That couldn't be farther from the truth, and all I've done is positive things for that place, helping, supporting, and motivating people left and right. I told her if she turned that place into Planet Fucking Fitness I was out of there..

So I go in this morning for cardio, and ALL of the heavy DBs are fucking gone!! Anything over 90lbs was taken! In its place at the empty DB rack was a sign that read "Due to damage to our new floor from dropping DBs, these have been removed. Thank you for understanding"

So, that was the last straw for me. Time to go to a REAL gym and pay for a membership. Luckily I have one about a mile from my house where ChickRock works out that I'll probably be going to

I'm at Planet Fitness now, but I'm just getting back into the swing. I'll be looking elsewhere in a few months because I don't want the same thing to happen to me when "the time comes". Lol

Honestly you'll probably be happier elsewhere... Good luck to you!

 

[VtwinJunkie]

wow. I bet that pissed you off.

Im not going to comment on what I am going to call her... I will discuss that with you in private... probably not appropriate for the forum

That is fucking absurd man... However, let's be realistic here... That is the type of shit you get with someone running something such as a "wellness center" They have NO clue what they are doing, got put into a power position with minimal pay so the only thing that gets them off is the sense of a little authority especially over someone they consider "intimidating" etc... I completely understand you utilizing it but its not the place for you bro... you need to be in a real gym so get out of there and get where you belong...

I LOVE my gym here so much and i have lifted all over the world... I ve lifted in some sick gyms in Italy and Europe, some of the best in California, even at the famed Venice Beach but here, its something else but its because of all the athletes here that compete... So many pros, Mr. Olympias etc all over the place so basically anything goes and its one of the biggest facilites in the United States period... The beauty of this, $144 for the entire year... My VIP locker was double that for the year, LOL... Not only extremely cost effective but we have 10 different types of every machine on top of all the cardio, classes, pools, hot tubs, etc... even a huge track on the top level... its a fucking monster and they are ALL over the city... look up Las Vegas Athletic Club and you'll see what I mean...

Did you explain that no one will buy steroids from you if your not jacked and intimating looking? LOL

I wouldn't make it ten minutes in planet fitness because of shit like them prohibiting deadlifts, overhead presses and tbar rows. And that damn lunk alarm....

Oh man you have no idea. I was ready to throat punch her

She was definitely stereotyping me and discriminating against me to say the least. I don't need to be around that at all

Haha I know exactly what she is brother! A major fucking bitch! LOL.

I know what you mean about that really not being my place anyways. It was decent a few years ago before I "outgrew" it, but now it's best that I just move on, as you said.

I'd love to have a hardcore gym to go to with lots of competitors, athletes, etc. Hell, I'd love to have a gym where everyone else makes me look like shit. That's only going to make me better and all the motivation I need. Sometime I'm going to come out there to Vegas and hit that gym up with you brother! Count on it!

LOL if it wasn't tied to my place of employment, I'm sure I would have trolled her pretty hard with some choice words somewhere along those lines

That's totally not right that she did that. Btw... I'm totally sneaking into Ricks suitcase when he flies out there. Don't mind me. Y'all won't even know I'm there...I'll be in my corner at the gym lol

So, that was the last straw for me. Time to go to a REAL gym and pay for a membership. Luckily I have one about a mile from my house where ChickRock works out that I'll probably be going to

Dam bro that sucks looks like they had an eye on you already, well you don't need that kind of harassment lol, go somewhere where your talent and wisdom is appreciated screw that drama!!

I wanted to share a little story with you guys of what I've been going through at my gym the last couple days. My gym is a nice place with decent equipment. It's a private gym, only available for employees and their families of where I work and is completely free. Over the last year they have gone through a lot of improvements and renovations, and just 10 days ago finally got the weight room done and all the equipment moved back in. It has brand new flooring, mirrors, drywall, everything.

So yesterday, I was doing flat DB bench presses. I warmed up a couple sets like normal, and then started my working set with the 130lb DBs. I had a good set and got them for 9 (rest 20 seconds) then 3 (rest 20 seconds) then 2 as part of my rest paused set to failure in my DC training. As some of you know, at the end of the set, it can be difficult getting those DBs down without dropping them a little. So, at the end of my set I set them on my chest, extended my arms as close to the floor as I could and released them about 6 inches off the floor.

After that, the owner had a conversation with me about dropping the weights on the floor, and I expressed my concern to her that there was no way to set those down without risking injury in the position I was in, without a spotter to take them.

I had a conversation with her earlier in my session about acquiring some new equipment that I thought was beneficial. I asked about getting some hammer strength equipment. Her reply was "This is not a power gym, this is a wellness center. We don't need things like that here. The last thing we need is muscled up meatheads in here. It's already been mentioned to me that you are intimidating to some people in here, and that's not the environment we want to provide" WHAT? Seriously? Intimidating? That couldn't be farther from the truth, and all I've done is positive things for that place, helping, supporting, and motivating people left and right. I told her if she turned that place into Planet Fucking Fitness I was out of there..

Im not going to comment on what I am going to call her... I will discuss that with you in private... probably not appropriate for the forum

That is fucking absurd man... However, let's be realistic here... That is the type of shit you get with someone running something such as a "wellness center" They have NO clue what they are doing, got put into a power position with minimal pay so the only thing that gets them off is the sense of a little authority especially over someone they consider "intimidating" etc... I completely understand you utilizing it but its not the place for you bro... you need to be in a real gym so get out of there and get where you belong...

I LOVE my gym here so much and i have lifted all over the world... I ve lifted in some sick gyms in Italy and Europe, some of the best in California, even at the famed Venice Beach but here, its something else but its because of all the athletes here that compete... So many pros, Mr. Olympias etc all over the place so basically anything goes and its one of the biggest facilites in the United States period... The beauty of this, $144 for the entire year... My VIP locker was double that for the year, LOL... Not only extremely cost effective but we have 10 different types of every machine on top of all the cardio, classes, pools, hot tubs, etc... even a huge track on the top level... its a fucking monster and they are ALL over the city... look up Las Vegas Athletic Club and you'll see what I mean...

Haha I know exactly what she is brother! A major fucking bitch! LOL.

I know what you mean about that really not being my place anyways. It was decent a few years ago before I "outgrew" it, but now it's best that I just move on, as you said.

I'd love to have a hardcore gym to go to with lots of competitors, athletes, etc. Hell, I'd love to have a gym where everyone else makes me look like shit. That's only going to make me better and all the motivation I need. Sometime I'm going to come out there to Vegas and hit that gym up with you brother! Count on it!

You wouldnt know what to do with yourself... We would probably spend the entire day there... The juice bar alone is amazing.. I would love you to come man! The invite is there permanently bro!

There is a strong possibility I will be coming back out in October, and if so, I'll have to plan on that bro!
