    So..drinking out of a gallon water jug is... judgmental?

    Oh..

    is this the judgement fee zone that judge a guy with a gallon of water jug?

    I don't see the problem here.

    People who want to use squat racks have lots of gym choices.

    People who don't want gyms with people who use racks have apparently only one choice. Why do you want to take that choice away from those people?

    On this trajectory it's only a matter of time before first the Olympic barbells and then the fixed barbells are gone. Then the dumbbells and benches.

    After that they'll start on the cardio machines until there is nothing but ellipticals left (that'll show those smug treadmill runners).

    Then they'll get rid of those too and be free to pursue their true business model - monthly pizza club subscription.

    what about the current members that use squat racks?

    That logic is flawed.

    I don't use a spin bike. As long as a gym has all the equipment i do use, i don't care that there are also spin bikes in there and that other people use them.

    A gym is a gym. The squat rack is one of the most used pieces of equipment in a gym. I fail to see the logic in getting rid of it.

    maybe that is their master plan ..lure everyone in with pizza and slowly eliminate all the gym equipment….

    On top of the bad service, I found it hypocritical to read signs about not being judgmental when they were clearly being judgmental as a company all the time.

    good point…I don't use the treadmill, but I don't want it eliminated from my gym..

    They're all lunks anyway. Meat heads with brains and genitalia destroyed by steroids. Obsessed with looking at themselves in the mirror and grunting. Worst of all - they judge people.

    wow glad I go to a different gym-I love doing squats so if I belonged there I wouldn't stay-I heard you can't even drop a dumb bell-they would hate my gym-if people don't like squat-they just don't have to use it-pretty soon they will only have treadmills there lol
