    The people that get on a station and do about 373 reps with almost no weight, then after their 5+ minute set, they sit there on it for another five minutes, then get up and leave.

    My gym is at work... We don't have a pool. The gym isn't open late enough on the weekdays, and on weekends I'm not going to drive my butt back to 'work' to workout. The bathrooms/showers are NEVER clean enough (I would be happy if they had just a tinge of bleach smell). They keep it a little too warm on the floor, and a little too cool in the locker/yoga room. The dress code is a little puritanical: no tank tops/no sleeveless shirts. Which, in most cases, doesn't bother me. However all of my yoga tops are pretty much tank tops (hate having sleeves, even short sleeves, getting in the way of my poses) and I'm not allowed to wear them.

    Wow! Even when I worked at a Jewish Community Center we could go sleeveless! I miss being able to swim on my lunch.

    Now I go to Snap and love it. The one nearest my bf's isn't as nice or close as the one near my apt. Seriously, I love the one close to my place. It's spacious and friendly and I love love love my trainer. Would love a pool, but otherwise it's perfect. The one closest to my bf's threatens to charge $10 if you wear street shoes.

    I wish the treadmills had a real pause feature and that people wouldn't leave heavy weights on the calf lift machine.

    They don't allow chalk, and some member cry like little girls about weights clanking when people are deadlifting. If those sissies would put more than a single set of 25s on for their deadlifts, they'd understand why it happens.

    Mine is : ........When i get there early and i am the first one in the locker room and i walk past the showers, I swear some days it smells like rotten eggs. :sick: (gag) What is up with that???? Besides something ALWAYS floating in the pool (ewe) We wont talk about the guy who does his laps and when he is done he blows his nose in the pool right before he gets out :noway: YES EVERY TIME! (gag) Oh and my membership includes internet cafe but guess what? The "internet" is never working. :huh:

    Complain re the internet. You are paying for that but not getting the service as it were.
    I just may do that............I did mention something yesterday about how one of the resons i joined and was willing to pay there price was the "bonuses" which are pool open from 5am til midnight weekdays weekends 6am til 5pm, free tanning and internet cafe which includes internet and free coffee. I mean we all work hard for our money and want what we pay for.It just seems like once you sign the contract they dont care and i guess they dont have to because they will get there money no matter what. Non the less i had a great workout this morning :happy: Oh and as i was leaving i saw that they had removed all the monitors for the internet. That made me feel guilty :embarassed: was it because i said something :indifferent:

    My only complaint is I wish the personal trainers wore something that identifies who they are.

    I have never found a gym that didn't stink awful. I can't breathe right when the air is fowl. So I choose to workout at home and outside. Gym ads should include "Now with Stink Control". That would be the only thing to lure me back. I tolerate belly dance class because I love it and the dance studio is a little less stinky than the gym.. But, sheesh. Everyone needs a better deodorant.

    The price!

    ETA: And apparently the guys don't like to wipe the equipment clean in the freeweights area so it smells like booty juice with a sweaty nut chaser (in that area only)!! :noway:

    My only complaint is that they don't open early enough on weekends. They're open @ 5 am weekdays, but not until 8 am on weekends, which I usually can't manage and still get my kids to their weekend activities on time. Even if they opened @ 6 or 7 on weekends would be better.
