    Really need to find a hardcore gym (sick of comercial gyms)

    Hey guys I went to this place called planet fitness today in my town and I have just come to realize that I really need to find a hardcore gym to go to. This place only had dumbells that went up to 80pounds and they didnt even have a shoulder press bench, I had to go and use the smith machine. and listen to this they had this gay ass alarm and if you grunt or make any noises or ne thing or even drop a weight this dam alarm will go off with sirens and everything.

    Im just ranting but please feel free to chime in and btw if your in my area hit me up with a PM on how the hell i can find a good hardcore gym.

    Yeah I've heard about that alarm. What a joke. My gym now is just fine. I lift from 10-close(11) and its usually only me and one other dude. No people to complain about me. Im really cool with the guy that usually closes so its fine.

    I coulda told you to never go anywhere near Planet Fitness..but it seems that its not so much with a branch of gyms..but how each individual gym operates. Maybe the siren thing is common with all Planet Fitnesses..maybe not.

    There is a 24 hour around here that is terrible...your gym reminds me of this one. Then again, theres one 15mins down the road that is like all competing bb'ers. Guess its the luck of the location.

    Our old Golds became a PF a couple years ago. At the time I was young so it wasnt so much that the dumbells only went up to 60, but the fact that is was just a gay place to be in. More than 2 plates werent allowed on the bench. I got outta there and never looked back. BUT the other day, since ive been out due to an injury, i decided to go back there since its cheap to sign up for a month to make use of the cardio equipt. When i noticed they didnt even have a smith machine machine anymore i turned around and walked right out.

    As much as I hate grunting, having a siren is just stupid.

    There are alot of great machines and weights there. But the best part is the fellow members. People who work out because they want to be huge, not because it's a trendy thing to do.

    Is this serious?? You can only have 2 plates a side on the bench?? And they really have an alarm?? That sounds like an old peoples retirement home. How are you supposed to lift heavy there? I thought my gym was a pussy gym but it is like totally hardcore compared to that!!
    I'm still changing in the new year to a harder gym, they are just moving premises then im there!
