My Gym - Prairie Life Center SUCKS!!!

[bleeder]

Get this: Today i was doing deadlifts. Pyramiding from 255x6 up to 505x1. Thats some heavy ass weight for me (175lbs). ANYWAYS, of course i let out a yell or two.. no top of the lungs screaming or anything.. just enough to get it up. I also let the weight "down" as soft as i could. You heavy deads guys know what i'm talking about!

So as soon as i get done i see one of the staff coming up the stairs, looking for me. He walks up and says "umm... you need to quit being so loud. we've had 6 complaints in the last 10mins about you. You're also shaking the WHOLE building. You need to either be quiet or leave."

riiiiiiiight... i forgot that i don't workout at a "gym".. this is a "fitness center" for richass people who think anything more than a loud exhale is too much noise.

Anyways, i get really aggressive when i'm deadlifting so i was pissed off!

I told him that everyone needs to quit being a bunch of pussies and mind their own business, and that if they wanted me to leave they'd better refund my $80 a month i pay just to use the weights!

Either way, i'm cancelling my membership at that pansy ass place and going to Golds.

If you live in KansasCity, spend your money on a REAL gym!

You show'em how you can get aggressive as a primitive beast and start doing deadlifts butt naked, and take a dump for each rep when you're squatting. Then see if they dare approach you...

I've never understood why people want their gyms to be as quiet as a library. The whole point of working out is to exert yourself to the max and of course you will make some noise.

I also love my gym.

Better Bodies - Kingston, Ontario, Canada

6 months for $99

Dude, for future reference, please consider any gym that starts or ends with the world "fitness" to be a place full of pansy asses! Don't bother joining, go find a place where some serious fukkiing weight is being banged around.

[qwerty1234]

I go to 24 hr fitness.
This one guy was doing some deads and slamming the weight on the floor with everyrep. As I left the hottie at the front was like "boy I hope he doesn't hurt himself"
So they don't really care about the noise. I think it matters what 24 hr fitness you go to though becuase some are prob. more anal then others.

The one I go to has quite a lot of big guys that go---so they are used to grunting e.t.c.

[reyalp]

My gym has two squat racks and a power rack, and I'm pretty much the only person who uses them. (Aside from the idiots who use the squat rack to hold a BB for bicep curls, then put two 10s on either side and grunt loudly)

I like my gym.....it has lots of nice looking girls to watch inbetween sets, lots of the equipment i like, and very few people on the aformentioned equipment.

[pharm]

Prarie Life in Omaha sucked. I joined to get in a raquetball league, the weight area sucked. I paid off my membership in full and joined 24 Hr fitness.

2 months later I got a letter in the mail from a lawyer from Prarie life saying they were suing me for not paying my membership....."computer glitch" they said.

yeah.. i only joined there cuz my buddies already had memberships and they wanted me to teach them how to lift. little bastards only went once and said it was too hard...

this place is a rip.. to cancel you have to pay the rest of your membership in full...

[Woodpile]

For $80 a month you would think they could build a stronger building and get sound proofing!

I get anoyed some times when the same person gets vocal on every single set. If its just a few realy heavy ones then I dont have a problem. I understand that it does help some people.

yeah i feel you. I get a good laugh pretty much everytime i go there cuz theres little stick guys screaming their heads off EVERY rep doing some light ass weight.

heck, i don't even purposely let out a yell... it just comes out when i'm giving 200% on a heavy dead or squat.

My gym is called Ultimate Fitness, and people there do not mess around.

[user8073964251]

I work out in my basement. Sometimes, the owner will tell me to turn the music down and I say "Mom, leave me alone!"

[tnecniv]

you should have took a sip of some cell-tech, then they wouldn't come near you

[King Crush]

I'm joining world gym.

[ExtremistPullup]

[bleeder]

I'm not being sarcastic at all so please take my post with a grain of salt. You're right, you're not at a gym, you're at a fitness center. People join fitness centers and pay the premium prices because they want to avoid the atmospheres typical of a gym.

I LOVE Prairie Life for that very reason. I have been a member of "gyms" before and I hated it. The loud clanking of weights, total disregard and respect of other people there, the attitudes of people making it into a dating scene.

If you want to be loud, then you should go to a gym. Workout in an enviroment that caters to what makes you comfortable. You can't join a fitness center full of "rich ass people" and then get mad when everyone there acts like "rich ass people". The same behavior that you exhibit at a country club will apply at a "fitness center". If you're unhappy, then go to a gym or the local community center.
