    asked to leave gym tonite

    holy s*** bros I was at the gym tonight (Golds) and was knocking out some squats and one of the managers pulled me aside to "talk" to me. SHE explained to me that one of the rules of the gym was no loud grunting. WHAT?!?!? I explained to her that there was no way I was not going to grunt when im squating heavy. She then called over another manager (a guy this time about 150lbs) and he told me i needed to leave the gym because i wasnt following the rules of our contract. This is the same gym that tried to kick me out before for using powder on my hands for deadlifts. Has this happened to anyone else or are they just picking on me?

    Get a new gym for sure. Of course the problem with today's gym world is finding one that doesn't cater to fat women who want to watch Oprah while they "walk" on a treadmill.

    id find out when the general manager is working, and lay it down on him, golds is a bodybuilding gym thats its heritage! id raise a ruckus, and tell the GM that the managers were being unfair and shat!

    WTF has this world come to? First they take a way chalk, now grunting. Next thing you know, no olympic lifts. I hate non-serious lifters/body builders.

    bring it up with the GM and go take a shit in the steam room, haha
    screw that place if it results to that.

    Now if you were insanely making noises that were obtrusively offensive and somewhat perverted I would kick you out also.

    thats a damn shame, something that should never happen, even if you were yelling out you should be allowed to its a gym... a GOLDS on top of that, the "fitness center" syndrome is like a disease.

    what the hell has happened to golds???

    seriously...once a spot for great bodybuilders turned into nothing more then a commercial product to follow the "trend" of fitness....ITS BOGUS!!!!

    time to find yourself a nice hole in the wall gym where they accept people that want to bodybuild not be fat and lazy.

    Thats one of the reasons I dont go to the local gym anymore. You listen to wxyBS radio, light songs and you cant make any loud noises. They are not picking on you, a lot of gyms are like libraries.

    That's ridiculous. When he said you were violating the contract, I would have been like..."Oh, I had no idea. Could you please pull out the contract I signed and show me where it says no grunting...you fuking homogay, pussy boy?"

    Sad to say it is in there... I used to work for Gold's as a Fitness Manager, and yes they are trying to get away rom the bodybuilders only image and more towards a family fitness establishment. Kind of a joke if ya ask me...

    Dude, c'mon! I mean you're not really allowed to "workout" there as stated in line 240 of your agreement. Everyone knows It really bothers other patrons while they are sitting around on machines, drinking ABB drinks and talking to their buddies like it's a coffee shop."

    There are some gyms that won't allow you to use chalk...
    It's not just you... Like it's been said, find a new gym and
    find out all their rules before joining...
