Things that annoy you ....

What drives you nuts about your gym? I have a list about mine lol Sorry in advance for the rant!

1. Lately my gym has become infested by 15 year olds who are setting out to hurt themselves while getting in the way of everyone else. They lift far to heavy, use terrible form, train in groups so they take up all the equipment plus they take ages talking between sets.

2. The local school plays baskeyball in our sports hall so spectators (mostly 12-15 year old girls) come up to the gym where they can see the hall below. They spend the whole time f***ing around, taking selfies and screaming so it puts everyone in the gym off, The staff and teachers dont stop them.

3. The gym plays either no music or cheesy pop which cant be heard in the weights area.

4. No monthly fee .. It is pay as you go which is seriously annoying.

5. Trainers dont assist anyone! Ive seen so many people training dangerously and not one trainer will go near them to offer advice. They dont even help elderly ladies adjust seats on the bikes.

6. Limited equipment! Its the most basic gym I have ever been to! Until recently we only had a smyth machine, 2.5 - 30kg dumbbells, 100kg in plates, and some leg machines. We just got a squat rack with a few plates but for the amount of people they get training plus the money they charge they should really invest in new equipment before people start going elsewhere.

Again sorry about the rant .... I needed it !

mod note: this has been done to death in the past and it ends poorly. I feel that the amount of negativity it brings to the forum is unwanted. I'm going to lock this thread. Feel free to PM me if you disagree with this decision, but it will take a lot of convincing to change my mind.
