Douchebags at the gym...

They need to display macros on the menu! One side for bulking meals, one side for cutting. Culinary masterpiece protein filled desserts
 
guys....sounds like a buisness op! lets get in on this and start it up! we will be the carnegies and fords of the fitness/MAN world!

In order to join you must maintain some level of a fitness regimen. no slobs , no kids , no douche bags. Membership is closed from the 1st of January till march 1st.
 
And have a supplement bar that would include PHs and other stuff *cough, cough*

Too much liability. If someone opened an gym with strict membership guidelines there will eventually be disgruntled people turned away that will try to bring controversy and ridicule and law suits and investigations soon follow that crap. it would have to be private membership and ran clean to avoid controversy. Dues would likely have to be on the high end to help keep certain elements from curiosity but still within affordability for the working class man. Food and bevarage costs would be made very reasonable to make up for high dues, like %25 above cost to help pay for labor . So any gym profit would mainly come from member dues. Annual dues would cover equipment repairs and replacement
 
Dude I think it would be such a cool place! The only club in the world where class and trash symbiotically exist! Classy boys with trashy toys if you know what I mean;)

so who's putting up the funding...
 
we can scam them out of their money by selling them MuscleTech
 
Countrytime lemonade preworkout :)
 
A mix of kool aid and saw dust.

I can supply the dust. We just got done sanding a frame down at the shop and have about 10 gallons of very fine dust all swept up on the floor right now. Usually get more than that but this is a small frame.
 
My new preworkout drink.

Used coffee grounds
Ground egg shells
One bottle tylenol crushed up

Its called devils dump.

Sent from the black van infront of your house.
 
I love this topic great gym ideas. Here's what missing

Full body massages for after workouts with happy ending!!

Strippers preparing the protein shakes and post workout meals.
 
perfect! and no mens health magazines either, those lying, misleading miscreants!! i hate that mag...except for their sex models...those are cool

So switch the it up to "The men's fitness and health destination". Wouldn't want it associated with a magazine

I'm surprised there aren't gyms like this. Women have their own women only gyms why isn't there a place that caters to men in such a way? Of course what were talking about is alot more extreme then a men's version of curves, but why not? I'm not that even opposed to women joining our fictitious dream gym as long as they hold up to a certain.. *ahem* .. Fitness criteria ;-)... as would all members be expected to maintain. Kind of a next level gym for people that want to take it a step or two further then the average gym goer. With that said one locker room. It's a grown up gym. It's fine to look at the opposite sex but it's not a bath house, no hanky panky on the premises and sexual misconduct will be an immediate revoking of membership and banned from premises.

SEE THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!

its like a country club for fitness/muscle enthusiast! that way you could interview, review, and accept reject applicants at the discretion of the board. Im tellin you there is a way to do this!! Its a great idea and it would even work great as a chain! im tellin you bro!!

If I hit the numbers or had a financial backer that was a motivated risk taker I'd make it a reality. I think something like this could sell. Only thing is it prolly wouldn't be a big cash cow which is ok IMO , I'm not a greed monger no should a would be investor. Of course it would have to turn profit enough to provide a comfortable enough lifestyle as not to have to struggle. Keep it an exclusive chain but no franchising in order to keep the brand top quality.
 
This is gonna be one of those things that pops up in the next few years an I see it and say damnit! I thought of that a long time ago! Lol
 
i'm probably hating on it because I'm a Marine... and in our gyms here, we see every ****ing boot and Pog wear it. Even the ones that never go to the gym but their friends forced them too. Or ones that dont go to the gym and wear it around the barracks or even worse out in public...

Lol understandable. I figure since I'm the strongest guy pound for pound at my gym I can wear what I like even if I look stupid. I'm there to lift not look pretty! Hahaha

Where are you at? My lifting partner for 2 years is in Afghanistan right now not sure where exactly though. Marines. I'll have to double check.

im right there with you! there is definately a market for it and its probably not as limited as you would think. If it does show up down the road..yeah ill be pissed but ill also be the first one in line to sign up lol

Yup me too. This shoulda been its own thread lol. Just totally thru the douche bag thread a curve ball.
 
lol well im sure somebody (prolly me) will find a douche to bitch about here tonight lol, even though we hijacked the thread i think itll be alright!

these threads always seem to resolve themselves
 
Oh, there is definitely a market for it! Guys all over hate the chain fitness gyms like planet and around here genesis where real lifting is frowned upon. Sure there are the hole in the wall gyms were you have the hard core lifters but space is very limited. The Lodge would fill this need and allow guys to bust their a$$es lifting and if they ripped one while lifting, there wouldn't be any uppity people to act like they were appalled by it. It would have all the hard core weights with 1000 lbs of weights at each squat rack, leg press and hip sled. 600 lbs at each bench and DB racks that went up to 200 DBs!
 
I got some funds to throw into this, as long as I can live in the attic/basement

There was a kid two nights ago wearing camo cargos with a utility belt and a gripper pt t shirt. At first I thought he may be enlisted but closer inspection showed he was just some spaz. He had a rolled up black bandana around his forehead and running shoes and spent the whole time i was there in the corner do strange AB exercises. Kind of an eccentric douche but at least he stayed out of the way.
