Reminder to always scout out a new gym THOROUGHLY before joining.
>Join a new gym
>Did the tour before hand, the place was alright, better than my old gym in terms of space
>Go for my first day there, had a decent work out, noticed that there weren't many dumbbells but the place wasn't busy today and wasn't busy on my tour so I figured it wouldn't be a problem
>Fast forward to today
>I've been busy all day, can only get to the gym in the late afternoon
>Might be a little busier, I thought, but it couldn't be too bad
>Get to the gym, there's a few guys there but other than that it's fine
>Finish my first exercise and notice some secondary school kids have started to arrive
>As time goes by more and more of the little bastards pile in
>What the fuck is going on?
>Look at the time, o shit it's just past school closing time
>The gym is near a local secondary school
>The floor is suddenly flooded with hundreds of teenagers
>One of them is trying to show off by bench pressing 20kg as fast as he can
>Another kid has started barbell rowing in the squat rack with one of the light bars
>None of the weights are being re-racked
>Bars and dumbbells just left in the middle of the floor
>Suddenly no room to do any exercise
>No equipment available
>Most of them are just talking to each other while sitting on the benches
>Lady at the counter asks me if I had a nice time as I leave
>Give her a thousand yard stare and say "yeah...I'm a lucky guy"

>Not complaining

>move so new gym
>24h fitness has locations all around the city
>most gyms only have one power cage and one squat rack with immobile safeties that are too high to squat deep
>ok
>gym closest to house (1mw) has the power cage in the corner (pic related)
>the floor is not flat. there is about a 2 degree drop so left foot is slightly lower than right
>cannot squat in the cage or the rack without stepping out of it
>cannot use safeties so cannot push myself too hard
>next closest gym is 6mi away
>live in city so only have bicycle

I'm English, it's not in my DNA to complain. I'll keep my anger to myself.

So am I, and there's no point in not fixing a problem other than if you're a huge beta.

>Everyone is spitting at the big guy and cheering for him

>Sperg out and not get the fuck out of there
>End up signing for a month
>First day, bars have spit on them

Crazy lot. Never signing up in a gym where a female presence isn't frequent in.

I thought males only gyms would be cool, not shitty and unhygienic.
>>41706736
