It's nobody specifically and I'm not sure who Joey the UPS guy is lol. It's usually small things that aren't worth saying anything over but last week a guy definitely bumped the bar while I was squatting with 500+ on my back because he couldn't wait 5 seconds to get plates. I fricking lost it. Gym etiquette's one thing but potentially putting me in the hospital is a whole different story.

Why no love for the Snap chains? I’ve found most of them to be well maintained and offer enough equipment to give an average person a good workout. And they usually aren’t crowded.
They’re not a “club”!in the sense of a Spectrum or Reds. But you can get a solid workout in them.

Am hoping they’ll be less rigid come summer. We usually do a summer membership for the pool. But it’s a hell of a facility.

He got booted years ago for having words with the janitor. Not sure what the dispute was over.

When I lived in BR, Foxy's was great.

Foxy's


Gymfit now. Has all the equipment Foxy's did, plus they brought over a bunch of stuff from the original Gymfit. A lot of crossfit racks and bumper plates. I go around noon right after the retired crowd gets out of there. Basically have the whole place to myself, so shhh... don't tell anybody. My contract is grandfathered as an old member of Foxy's, but I think their rates are reasonable.

This and they’ve gone up a notch this BHM. Not sure who’s running the show there now, but it’s descending into a progressive shite hole.
