Gold's Gym Is a Nice Place, But With Many Obnoxious Members

I was a Gold's Gym member for 5 years and really enjoyed the place for the most part. The equipment was cutting edge, they had tons of free weights, the gym hours were good, etc. The problem is that Gold's attracts a certain segment of the fitness population. I'm not sure where these Neanderthals come from, but these guys are obnoxious. I want to point out some of this bad behavior, so we can begin to put it to an end. I know that Gold's isn't the only place where this exists.

1) Throwing the Dumbbells to The Ground After Every Set: This is a big problem to me. I can't stand this. Right near the incline press in the Gold's I worked out at there was actually 2 holes in the ground where guys drop them dumbbells. The amount of weight lifted shouldn't matter. I can quietly press 100+ pound dumbbells in the incline press and when finished I can quietly put them back to the ground. These dorks are dropping 60 pounds like they really accomplished something special. Whether lifting heavy or light, there is no excuse for this behavior.

2) Excessive Grunting During Sets: Now, I do realize that if someone is attempting a 700+ single in the squat or deadlift that they probably will make a bit of noise. I'm not talking about those guys. I'm addressing the guy screaming doing a set of 10 reps on preacher curls, or during a set of leg extensions. Seriously, this is just as bad if not worse than dropping dumbbells. Gym manager's need to do a better job monitoring this stuff. This creates a prison like atmosphere in the gym. My favorite thing to do is to sit next to these guys grab a heavier weight and do it for more reps in complete silence and then give them a smirk.

3) Not Putting the Weights Back: This one is really annoying, because it shows a blatant disrespect to all the gym members and gym faculty. This is a big problem in every gym I've worked out at. I've seen guys pull of 3 sets of dumbbells for supersets and then leave all three on the ground and just walk away. There is a certain type of guy who does this (see number one and number two on this list). I like to call these guys out and ask them if they are done with all of those weights they left on the ground.

4) Performing Sets in Front the Dumbbell Racks: This is not thinking of others who share the same gym. The guys that do this are selfish and couldn't care less about your workout. While they are doing this, you can't access the weights they are in front of and you can't put any dumbbells away. I wish more gym employees would take the steps necessary to stop this poor behavior.

5) Using 2+ pieces of Equipment at Once: This isn't a problem if the person doing this allows you to work in. It is a problem if the guy thinks that he can tie up all 2-3 pieces of equipment for 10 minutes. I have hopped on a bench after seeing that nobody has been on it for 5 minutes only to have a guy scream from across the gym "I'm using that!" I typically will call them on it and tell them that I saw that they were doing a different exercise. I always end up working in with these guys, regardless of if they want to or not. I simply won't tolerate this type of behavior.

Summary: There is absolutely nothing wrong with Gold's Gym. I hope that isn't what people take away from this article. I am just hoping that people will stop some of these guys from ruining these great facilities.
