Oddly enough some of you have brought it up. Anyone who works in a gym, especially in sales or management will know this...
1. "I have been a member there since you opened" Yeah and you have probably paid taxes since you lived in your house too, and so have our 5,000 other members, you are no better than those that didnt sign up in the "trailer days"
2. Yes there is an upgrade fee, you cant just throw Billy and Johnnie on to your membership for free, see everyone else here paid one and a higher one if at the time of sign up when their family joined, you paid for an individual membership, so now you got some catching up to do.
3. "The steam room isnt working"....well it was probably you who keeps dumping water on top of the eucalyptus to fix it yourself asshole, so enjoy it now
4. "The music sucks"....yeah tell that to the 50,000 christain moms who scream bloody murder if ass is said in a song or t.i. is rapping over the sound system, bring an ipod you douche, this aint techno feast, woodstock, or summer jam
5."I want to break a contract and you forced me into it" No numnuts, you had the choice to commit to 12 months or sign up month to month, you choice to join for 12 months because you were a cheap ass and wanted to save on the enrollment fee because your pride is so big, so now that i have a signed and initialed legal document, have fun at collections and with your credit report if you dont want to pay me.
6. "I refuse to pay an enrollment fee" go sign up at the 2,000 sq ft snap fitness then and come join us later after you realize you have wasted your money. You are the same person that wont pay an enrollment that is higher although your getting 3 free months which make up the difference as opposed to a lower enrollment without the free months because you are too stupid to do the math or because you want to tell your meathead friends you got us paying no enrollment, it just sounds cooler than free months.
7. "The pool water is too warm or too cold" See lady, we have over 10,000 members and you may be a little more cold blooded then some, our temp is always the same but impossible to please everyone.
8. "Your $20 guest fee is ridiculous, my niece is in from out of town and just wants to work out" Oh I see, someone that has no chance of joining our club we are going to let work out for free. So we have one more person using up our machines, pool, showers etc to take space away from our paying members, when you will be the same person bitching come January you cant get on a machine.
9. "My friend Sam didnt pay an enrollment why should I, I want my money back from three years ago" Well gas prices change daily, kroger specials do change weekly, i got a tshirt on sale at kohls for $9 and now its $19, do you go back and ask for a refund on all that shit? NO
10. "That girls shorts are inappropriate for this club" Calm down, we have a shorts, shirt policy, this isnt St. Athletic Club, you wish you looked like her is the real issue and your kids are locked up in child care, they will never see her, shut up.
Sorry pal, but the steam room being broken pisses me the fuck off and it is MANAGEMENT'S fault - not the members. I have never poured anything on anything. You sound like a real douchebag manager by the way.

One thing I cannot stand (this happened just yesterday):
When I am in the sauna, a place to relax, and there is a fucking guy with his headphones on and sweat pants and hoodie standing in the middle of the room singing along to his stupid ass R & B music out loud. Seriously, shut the fuck up - this guy could care less that he was bothering anyone.

and you sound like an idiot member that doesnt realize that other morons like yourself may ruin for everyone else by doing what i mentioned. when we hire the sauna police we will be able to accommodate you too. i am sure my list hit home for you cuz you're one of those tools that just sits in the sauna for days with a bunch of naked guys and doesnt do much else. how would it be managements fault when rick smith dumps water all over the place and shuts it down...i suppose its my fault when a guy pisses in the soap box in the shower too since i should have been watching members in the shower. like most members who live in the sauna, you may fit the description of an older man with a beer belly who barely works out if at all and sits his fat ass in a sauna for an hour.

Can you explain this comment? It doesn't make any sense. I specifically said I never pour anything on anything - I simply go to the sauna for a 10 min sit after I workout. You see, when assholes like yourselves give the tour of the gym and ask people like me for my money - you show the sauna and you never mention that it will be habitually broken. FURTHERMORE fuckface - I also specifically mentioned the STEAMROOM, as did you - HOW DO YOU POUR WATER ON SOMETHING IN THE STEAMROOM TO SHUT IT DOWN? HOW DOES A MEMBER DO THAT? STEAMROOM NOT SAUNA.
You should consider a career change. You do not seem happy where you work. I am 32 by the way in excellent shape and part of my routine is to relax in the sauna like "managers" like yourself have encouraged me too when you begged me to join the gym.
I feel sorry for you - it is sad to see people so unhappy with their position in life - dead end job that you hate. Good luck to you.

haha, i love my job, i love 90% of the people that workout there and i love bringing home my paychecks that afford me to live my lifestyle. when i need career advice from someone anonymous posting on a gambling web site i will know who to hit up.. thanks in advance, happy sitting to you my friend
also, thanks for correcting me on the comment i made 8 months ago, obviously i meant sauna, shame on me.
the title of this thread is gym pet peeves and i gave a few that most found humurous from a different prospective. again sorry it hits home for you, i have never had to beg anyone to join a gym nor have i ever told anyone to sit in a sauna and steam room, we just list that as one of our amenities. i never take a tour in the sauna/steam besides, and our sauna/steam works 99% of the time, the one time it doesnt assholes like you beg for a refund of $1.35 for the day, that was the point, no need to call someone u dont know a douchebag, i could be your best friend and the nicest guy u ever meet...i suggest you change gyms if your sauna/steam doesnt work, sounds like you are unhappy at your gym sweetheart

every worker / trainer / etc at gyms are stupid and completely clueless about what they are doing. gym trainers have no clue how to put together a routine for someone that works. instead they hand out pink dumbbells and tell people they are "toning" their bodys by doing 100s of reps.
oh and you sound like a douchbag manager too. 20$ for a guest pass? thats rediculous. oh and because there are 50,000 christian moms that go to your gym they get to pick the music? well u said that everyone at ur gym gets equal rights so how come that emo kid on the fitness ball has to suffer through dolly partons christmas special while hes toning his abs

being overused.....
saying all workers at gyms are clueless is like saying all covers posters on here are....thats not true of course, but most like yourself are, not a trainer myself and never would be nor would i ever pay for one, but not all are clueless, you are the example of my post of not pleasing everyone, you make my point exactly

Got back from working out and saw this and just knew it was perfect:
1. Douches that don't wipe off the benches, mats, etc.
2. Douches that come in with the typical muscle shirt and think they own the place
3. Dicks that try to upstage you and watch your every move, I was benching 245 and once I was done my sets a guy comes and puts on 250 and starts struggling through those...
4. The guys that are obnoxious and refers to number 2 by making loud noises when working out. Ya...we get it, curling a 10lb weight is hard if your a weak piece of shit but you dont have to make these massive noises when your lifting it that sounds like your giving birth
