Their acceptance of all walk's of life should be considered the standard of the fitness facility industry:

What machine is that? Haha. I feel like it's for your biceps, but he's just using it woefully improperly.

Because fat people who aren't serious about fitness who workout at a place make it a terrible gym right?

Not necessarily, but I've heard other things that make the gym sound pretty terrible.

Is this a running joke or do they really do this? Pizza parties and stuff. I remember spectrum did this. I get the "make them fatter so they'll come here more" but c'mon.

My gym gives out free shirts to people in shape. It's free advertisement. I think a "workout here and look like this" approach is more effective than trying to bait people... They're paying by memberships either way.


If it's a running joke disregard all of that.

They really do handout free pizza often.

And it really is a terrible gym for multiple reasons. They claim to be the "accept you for who you are" gym but they don't hesitate to kick out and alienate any one there they deem to not belong. They also have shitty weights and equipment.

They set off an alarm if you drop a weight on the ground

Pretty sure you aren't allowed to dead lift in any of their gyms

It's 10$.... I can bench, squat, shoulder press, and use the cables. I don't need more than that. Is it a real gym? Probably not. It's full of shitty machines and cardio equipment. I've never been on pizza night tho.

ETA: while it's not ideal u can dead lift on the smith machines at the one I go to.

Only time I've seen shite that made me crack up......

Was doing lat pull downs next to huge black guy doing cable fly. In between sets he would walk to the mirror and start shadow boxing....wtf?

Oh and this other time some roided out over tanned bald white guy was wearing a weight vest and doing lunges all over the gym......if ever there was a time for a lunk alarm.

The fatties usually stay to the machines and ellipticals, so I don't really have a problem. Also good for them for at least making an attempt to better themselves ( even if it won't last )
