It makes as much as sense as a cardio-only member who circles the parking lot trying to find a closer spot to the gym.

I can understand if it's a powerlifter who isn't interested in extra GPP but a cardio freak?

walking down stairs is kind of a pain in the ass on a heavy leg day. i could see it.

**SaSqUaDgE** · 03-15-2008, 06:06 PM

yeah but i bet 9/10 of the people that go in there dont do heaavy ass leg days

**SaSqUaDgE** · 03-15-2008, 06:07 PM

after i have a heavy leg day i have to walk up and down 4 flights of stairs like 5 times the day i dont think its that bad

**SaSqUaDgE** · 03-15-2008, 06:09 PM

You don't get that rubber leg feeling?

**SaSqUaDgE** · 03-15-2008, 06:11 PM

He's right...most of the male general public doesn't even train their legs. I see more squat rack curlers than I do squatters in the squat rack.

I would take the stairs too because I would feel like a douche using the escalator at a fitness facility.

If I had bad DOMS in my legs...then I would have to think it over.

**SaSqUaDgE** · 03-15-2008, 06:16 PM

ha yes exactly someone understands me ha

**Papi93** · 03-15-2008, 06:25 PM

It would be interesting to see what percentage of obese individuals took the stairs and what percentage took the escalator.

**SaSqUaDgE** · 03-15-2008, 06:32 PM

yeah that woould

**Papi93** · 03-15-2008, 06:38 PM

If I was doing personal training sessions with an overweight individual, and I saw them taking the escalator, next time I would turn off the escalator when I saw them approaching the gym for their session.

**cj1capp** · 03-15-2008, 06:47 PM

Lol.

**Papi93** · 03-15-2008, 07:44 PM

Once they reached the top of the stairs, I would turn the escalator back on. Back in my younger years, when I was training, a few of females I worked with wished I consider a new career.

Sometimes obese people think by having a trainer, they will magically lose weight. Either that, or they just want someone to socialize with and end up just go through the motions. Even though they were paying me...I felt like going to the daycare and punching a baby because it made me so frustrated. When these people don't see results, it makes you look bad.

**PrairieDawg** · 03-16-2008, 01:39 AM

whoever built/helped build those escalators needs to be hung upside down by his nut bag

**Gears** · 03-16-2008, 02:50 AM

dude, that is a HUGE flight of stairs, I can see why those are there.

**Nismo** · 03-16-2008, 03:15 AM

Yeah there are a lot of gyms in SoCal like that man. Especially with Bally's. It's funny when you go to those gyms and you see someone comming off a treadmill and then going to the juice bar and getting a smoothie then pays an extra dollar for a creatine pill to mix in his drink. Some people will just throw away there money

**BabyGravy** · 03-16-2008, 03:56 AM

that is some LAZY sh*t.....

**xero** · 03-16-2008, 04:18 AM

I have always tried to reason this by thinking that gyms get used from time to time by people recovering from injuries or with disabilities. Only way it would make sense to me.

**crazyhorse1960** · 03-16-2008, 05:32 AM

i can understand wheel chair accessibility but is that 24 hrs.fitness for real?what xero said makes sense and for that reason alone than 24hr fitness lives up to there nature and their name as well. i never seen nothing like that before any where.cheers to 24hr fitness!...
