Is that where you were? It’s been a couple years but I used to lift there and they never said a single thing to me with 400+ on the bar and more than that on the squat rack. Now, if people are yelling and generally acting like douches, that’s a different story. I was always to myself and quiet. > > Not trying to be a dick, but most places don’t give a shit how much weight you lift. I am pretty sure you can go to Gold’s, wherever they are now, and scream your brains out if that helps you lift and they wont give a shit one way or the other. No clue what they charge, though, tough to beat $10 a month at PF (couple years ago anyway) I was at the one in Rotterdam. They said something to me tuesday about using chalk while deadlifting. They didnt kick me out then, and I finished my workout. This morning I got there and they just said my membership has been cancelled and I had to leave with no other reason given than because I used chalk tuesday. I was always fairly quiet and to myself. Never set off that retarded alarm. But I did get some looks from the staff whenever I was lifting heavy. They are fools there. ---

i goto PF on altamont late at night (midnight/1am ish) theres people there doing whatever and no one cares. and the 2-3 people running the place overnight just sit up front. but i can see how normal hours would be different though. I still wish i signed up at best. me/mom/sister had a thing there from the day it opened in crosstown to about 2 years ago. ---

Well the chalk thing is odd, I’m not sure why they would stress over it unless it was going all over the place. I used it from time to time but that was at ABC and they sold the shit there for christ sakes. Went with straps at PF, so I never encountered the anti chalk police. Fuck em, go somewhere you can use it. ---

I go to Best in Rotterdam and Im pretty sure theres signs that say you cant use chalk there either. Its a pretty good gym to work out at. The only other gym Ive been to is Bally’s and Best is definately better and has more machines and weights than Bally’s does. I pay $20 a month. If youre serious about joining one of us that are members there can get you a free 14 day trial if theres any left on the bulletin boards. ---

I am very serious about joining. right now im doing the free 7 day membership at golds, so I need to join somewhere by the time that ends! At this point im leaning towards Best. See if you can get me one of those passes! ---

Membership is good at all Best gyms so no need to change anything. Ive been to the Albany one a few times but like the Schenectady one much better and its less than 5 minutes from my house. I dont engage in homosexual activities such as sodomy either.
