what dont they have heavy exept for dumbells? Instead of dumbbells use a barbell and do a diff exercise? lol… No offense, but im sure I lift a bit heavier weight then you and can make a perfectly useful workout out of whats in that gym…
And I agree, that is wierd if an employee really did yell at you for trying to help someone… I woulda said “ok, ill let him break his neck next time”
