I Belong to the Pussiest Gym Ever

I go to a Planet Fitness, and the facility just changed from one that was a World's Gym to a brand new facility. All the equipment is new, which is cool, but the dumbells only go up to 80lbs. They have 80 cardio machines, but only 2 Flat benches and 1 incline bench. There is one squat rack and 2 smith machines. The decor is purple and yellow:sick: .

But the pussiest thing of all just defies any lasting shred belief that this is a place where muscle could possibly be built is the "Lunk Alarm". I am hoping it does not work, but it appears to be an actual alarm with a flashing light. Beneath the phrase "Lunk Alarm" is a definition: Lunk--Someone who grunts, bangs weights, etc.

Can anyone outdo my gym for its dedication to pussydom???

Nah, that's pretty gay. BTW, is pussydom a word? I looked it up, but couldn't find anything. :lol:

Pussydom, to the best of my knowledge, was not a word until about 10 minutes ago. That makes it a neologism or newly invented word. It is synonymous with pussiosity.

I joined for a year in October, and it was only $99. I can pay $39, and then $10 per month to keep going, or $99 down and be locked in for $10per month for 10 YEARS!

Yep i would have to say your gyms the pussiest i have ever heard of. At least you don't have those people who go to the extremes cheating on lifts. You ever seen a 140lb guy try to curl 135lbs. Its like a squat,curl,press:nono: . You would have to see it to believe it.

I agree T-Bone. I'll probably just stick around. I will just have to use a barbell for the heavy work.

I have to admit that is more than a warm-up set for me, especially since I've been doing TUT, but it certainly doesn't give you room to grow.

My gym is colored with a medium purple and a teal. They recently added some neon light in the shape of lightening bolts and other things on the walls. Kind of lame really. Theycould have spent the extra money to purchase heavier dumbells and other equipment. The DB's at my gym go to 110. I belong to another (which I don't have to pay) they go to 120. My gym is pretty much a meat market at this time, but I got a very good deal. My first two years are free, with my wife added on even.

Now, my old gym was a hang and bang old school style. Their DB's went to 140 and equipment was all homemade. It was just that the restroom's were always broken, roof leaked when it rained, no air conditioning in the Summer (it gets 115 where I'm at), and a crappy heater in the corner.

OMFG...that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard....

I've never seen anybody deadlift while setting the weight down nicely...and, I've never seen anybody go balls out on a squat set without making a little noise.

Is this chain co-owned by NAMBLA and the AARP or something?

Dude that just sucks. WTF is up w/the grunt alarm? that's among the gayest things I've ever heard of. Whoever manages that gym does not understand the customers and the last time I checked, businesses must cater to their customers unless they are trying to get 140 pound teens who are convinced that it's all about the Nitro-Tech and Cell-Tech stack

That's who gyms are over-run with, unfortunately, so that's who they cater to.

I like my gym. It's the cheapest I've found in my city, for a single non-college male that is. It's mostly serious lifters in there. Not much chit-chat. DB's go way the **** above any weight I'm using on Bobo's program (he's making me lift girly weights).

There are the serial old nudists in the locker room though (but, whose gym doesn't have them).

But, there are no chicks at my gym, except like 3 or 4. It's a serious sausage fest. Nothing to look at.


Sorry to hear that bro, but buck-up, you've got a hella good deal. I'd probably sign up solely for that price.

oh, that makes homesick.

i remember the old 'world gym' on the ala wai. last time i was home. half of it was open air, geckos running about on the walls and ceiling, one treadmill, one stepper, lots of free weights and smelly, grunting people.

and one very abused heavy bag with miles of duct tape on it. :rolleyes:

my gym is a day spa. I am 6'0 208 lbs and easily the biggest and strongest guy in there. It's like a retirement home/day spa. And there arent' even hot girls there, sometimes milfs, but few and few between, just old balls. However, there are upsides, the squat rack is never used, so I don't have to wait. But the Dumbbells are these huge rubbery things that move in your hands when you lose your grip with heavy ones which really sucks.

I go to Best Fitness use to be World. They have a few different locations and you can train at any of the locations, there's always something to look at be it 5 am or 10 pm.
"J563" will agree be we have mastered the art of scoping the entire facility without turning our necks........How you may ask? Mirrors my friends a whole sh*t load of mirrors.
Hey the equiptment is great also. The college gets out in a week (UMASS) and then we have to move the neck..................

I can't complain about my gym. I lift in a basment undersome tanning salon where nearly everyone there is pretty serious. And when we leave we get the pleasure of seeing some fine tail in the tanning salon. It is very old school. When you walk in there is chalk everywhere and several powerlifters going nuts. Not very many members so sometimes we'll get the entire gym to ourselves. You can see some of it in Nate Dawg's pics. But there is no air conditioner but a big fan and the ceiling leaks during rain showers. Last year i lifted at a Bally's. I f*cking hate that place. They always played some classical slow paced techno music and had around 8 large trainers standing around with their arms crossed ready to snap if someone grunts too lound or drops a weight. They were also good at making fun of people too. It was always really purple in there, and they had strobe lights in certain parts of the gym. I hate weights that are coated in rubber.

Will agree on the usefullness of the abundant mirrors. The one were I frequent most is infested with a group of about 40 members of a Anti-Ron Regan/Jesus Cult Pot Heads. It's like training in the middle of night of the walking dead w/ thes F%#$ers around.
No BS quite strange to see the way they all Follow this one central Leader..they all congregate around and watch him do Abs..then when done he stands up ,looks at them and points to a few shoo's them away, then points and shoo's again and again until they are all dispersed. If they did not overtake all the equipent on days you are planning to do that body part its not a problem, but when you are on their day forget about it.

My gym is also a spa. It sucks badly..even, I daresay, to the point of pussydom. If someone isn't using the squat rack to do tai chi in (it has a mirror after all) then they are using it to do high repetition curls in. When I bulked up to 200 last winter, I was definitely the biggest and scariest(because the place puts me in a bad mood) thing there.

The freeweights are crammed into a tiny area and if there are more than 3 people there it creates real problems. Add all of the elderly clientelle that crank up the Bill O'Reilly show full blast and I have all the hateful energy I need to lift. I deaded over 600 once after being denied the rack for over 45 minutes by some douchebags. lol

dude THAT SUCKS... i'd be pissed as hell lol

at my gym, i know 3 of the managers, there are too many "big" guys that workout there with the big compound work for them to move it

funny thing is, i've only seen two guys squatting and deadlifting more weight than me after going there for about 2 years... and im definitely not a big guy... at all... they all workout with big barbell and dumbell weights... no big leg movements.... a pity

the hot amateur bodybuilder chick there half-deads 315 for reps... impressive for a ~150lb 5'10ish chick (def a lower bodyfat than me too)

Damn, I feel for some of you. The Powerhouse gym I go to is hooked up. It's just a warehouse full of equipment. I never have a shortage of things I can do. Downside is the membership is 30 a month. Anyone else here pay more than that?

My gym isn't as bad as yours. It has dumbbells up to 150 lbs but has all the wimps there. Its a spa with weights to appease the serious lifters. I was loading up 365 lbs on the squat rack. I had my belt on tight and was pumped to kick its ass. When a frail guy went up to me and was telling me how squats ruin my back and knees, while I was walking straight towards the rack, ready to go. Killed my whole momentum. It ended with me telling him to mind his own business. I still got all 5 reps but who knows how many more I could have done without the mini-lecture...

The main attraction of my gym is a deal with the tanning salon subsidiary and their Subway sandwiches.

I'm paying $30 a month now as well, but hell I was paying $45 a month at my last gym about 5 years ago. That's what happens when there isn't any other competition around.

I love and hate my gym. I go to a Y in SAV GA. It has some pretty nice free weights and some pretty serious lifters. It also has more old balls hanging out in the locker room than a 19th century marbles set. If walking between the sauna and steam room counted as an olympic sport, I can tell u where our nations hotbed for talent will be.

Our music section WILL STAY between easy listening and balance out with some soft rock!

Had to vent-- I do love the Y!!!

Wear headphones. People leave you alone if you wear headphones. Plus it drowns out the techno music or classical music (they were playing it today for some reason) they happen to be playing.

sounds pretty weak guy. i PT at a trump apartment gym, and aside from dumbells ranging from 2lb-15lbs, and two other pairs at 50lbs, everything else are life fitness/cybex machines, and cardio. Obviously dont lift there myself... that must be tough bro

Someday I'll break down and get an MP3 player. That guy pisses me off more and more the more I think about him. My gym plays a lot of pop music but thats a problem with my local radio stations. There's one rock station but there's 4-5 minutes of commercials, then play two songs. Rinse and repeat. Sad. Well, maybe during the summer.

There's no deadlift platform either so I got to use the ground. Got lectured once about it but got the guy to get off of my back after asking him where I could deadlift. He agreed with me that there should be something but they want an "image" to uphold. What that image was is something I was never able to figure out. You'd think it would be people lifting heavy weights to show that their gym works but whatever.

I wish I could get $30 a month at a decent gym. Around here, I'm at the cheapest for a non-student, $38 with tax and only a $25 fee. Others are over $45 with huge signing fees. No large 24 hr. places either. That pisses me off.

Where my mom lives, it's even worse. The cheapest I could find is about the same I'm paying, but a 5 year contract. (I was looking into buying her a membership for Xmas.)

I'd kill to pay that a month man. Here I have to fork out $62 bucks a month to work out in an inferior gym full of oldies. It's a small resort town and I have no alternatives other than driving 40 minutes to the next town to workout at another lack luster gym.

I pay $53 a month for both the wife and I. No contract and you can "freeze" your account at any time with no penalty. But only weights and cardio equipment.

Contrast that with the local ultra-swanky spa and health club.

For a mere $80 you get a TRIAL two week membership for your lonesome self.

Weights are inadequate and there is a pool and other sport stuff. It's basically older guys and their hausfrau wives.

There is one other thing you forgot to mention, or dont know. I too belonged to that vagina gym and I was told I could not carry a gallon of water in the gym, unfuckingbelievable. I feel your pain man. I left and joined Golds.

Good luck to you. Oh one other thing the smith machine says 400 pound max on it.

Before I read about your Planet Fitness, I thought Golds was just about the wussiest mainstream/chain gym around. They (Golds) just opened a giant facility here; 3 floors, a cardio room like a football arena, plasma screens all over the place... but I swear, my estrogen went up just from visiting this place.

This is huge place - with 2 flat benches!!!! About 1000 exer-cycles dealies, but 2 benches!! And 1 Smith and 2 racks...what the crud? LOL I joined a local owned gym. It ain't like 'Clubber Lang' hardcore or nothing, but it beats the crud out of these 'pretty' places...

They have tons of benches, DBs up to 130, plenty of squat racks, and a bunch of monsters who lift serious weight. At least that is how it was. I hope it didn't get a makeover since I was last there last year.
