How much? You gotta be fuc£ing kidding me!
Ok so my stoopid gym closes over the christmas period. So i have to find an alternative gym. Lets just say this is an irritating and expensive problem. I had my choices narrowed to two (out of a whopping 4) and decided to go for the more expensive gym as it was closer and had a squat rack instead of just a crappy smith machine. Well i get there tonight and get ready to sign up, im dressed ready to train. They then hit me with an admin fee almost half the cost of the months membership!! Admin fee?? to do what? File a card and put me on the system. I used to work in a gym, that takes 2 minst tops. And the total cost for one months membership...............£85!! thats almost $170 to you boys from the US. I felt like dragging her over the table by her hair as she sat across from me taking joy in my utter horror at the price. Well i got up said that was way too much and left. Ok so now im going to have to settle for a really wimpy softcore gym. I asked how much the dumbells went up to over the phone. I had to wait 3 mins while one of the trainers went to find out :rolleyes: a whopping 44kgs :lol: I then asked if they had a squat rack they said they did, then they phoned me back to inform me they had confused the smith machine with a squat rack :lol: .
Well i suppose the only good thing is i may be the big guy in the gym for a few weeks. Just needed to rant as im pissed at my serious lack of options. There are hardcore gyms in London but the commute to them is just too expensive!
