you can get a haircut at the gym? lol which one?
There is a colonie PF? where is that? assuming the OP is not talking about loundvile because he referenced that one as well.
PF is the worst fuckin gym i’ve ever been too. At least the EG and loundvile ones are. I will say they seem to get slightly more good looking chicks then its been my experince to see in gyms.
THis is the case for 2 reasons:
-
the free weights really do suck. the 75 lbs dumbells is an issue, but I usually do some heavy barbell work prior and that sort of solves that, sort of. They are just missing a few things here and there that drive me nuts, like no squat rack, no extra olympic bars, hell at the loundvile one they don’t even have any curl bars that you can put what ever weight you want on, just dumbell style ones you can’t adjust. 9 times out of ten i don’t have an issue, but for the amount of money they pull in at those places, they could afford and have (or had) room for an extra couple of bars/benches. its an equipment availablity thing.

The staff is rediculously piss poor. There was a manager at loundonvile when i first signed up several years ago that was pretty good, took his job seriously… thin bald guy. Pretty much everybody else there i’ve meet is either just out of highschool (nothing wrong with that really) or seems like the type that can’t really handle any other job. Sort of the same vibe i get from car sales men… this is just where they end up after a long train of failure. And i’ve heard several stories of them ‘banning’ people willy nilly for this or that reason that was really a personal issue.
that being said, when i signed up at the loundville one, i do remember them saying something about needing my tag with me (this was several years ago). They said something like they would only look me up by name so many times before they refused entrance. I admit… thats really a really rediculous policy, and I’ve forgoten my tag like every time i ride my bike to the EG one and its never been an issue. On the other had i don’t see why a key chain tag is such a hassle to you, but i’m sure its more the principle more then anything else.
I only go to PF because its really the only gym in EG other then the way over priced YMCA.
I would have had the managers job immediately after he called me a dick, thats totally unprofessional but not surprising since unprofessional is what i’ve come to expect from thier staff.
