LA Fitness PT's Piss me off.... Fuk off Now!

[baseline_9]

Ok

So I get a 3 day Free pass for LA Fitness so that me and the GF can go this weekend, do some cardio and chill in the pool and all that crap....(and no, i dont train at LA Fitness)

So the first day I go Im training back... Its like no one have ever done DL's in that gym LOL. Anyway, I swear there were about 6 PT's wondering around chatting sh*t and giving out crap advise.... These guys are skinny dweebs and look like they have never seem a gym in there life.

Day 2 were doing cardio and this PT comes up to us with a cheesy grin on his face ''Hey, how do you fancy coming and doing a Core and Stretch Class in 10 mins''

My first though is, 'why the fuk are you bothering me.... I have 25 mins of cardio left to do and no, Fuk off i dont wanna come and stretch with you so that you can check out my GF'

So I reply blunty with a 'No'

PT ''HAHAHA, are you not man enough''

Ergggghhhhh.... My reply '' Yeh Im a wimp m8''

PT ''Come on it just over there and its in 10 mins''

Me '' That sound great but NO!''



Fuk off man, I wanna train, why are you even talking to me you nob head

[baseline_9]

Rant over!

[baseline_9]

Oh yeah

The girl who did the gym intro with us was Fat and Smelly.... I dont mean a bit fat... She was obese!

[xelnaga]

LA Fitness is a dump. I did their 10 day free pass. First impressions were awful. Some chick nodding off at the front desk after one too many oxycontin breaks. The trainers looked like they were doing a photo shoot for crip magazine. After 10 days I did not see one chick that I would consider hitting with anything other than the front end of my suv.

[JimmySidewalk]

Do they hire retards like that because there is no one else around or because they have certain PT degrees and diplomas ?
Even if it were because of the diplomas i'd still be skiddish to take muscle building advice from a skinny puberty boy or some obese cow talkin cardio and diet.

I mean would you go to get your teeth fixed at a dentist who's mouth looks like bagdad after bombings ? Obviously not.
And spare me the "i dont have time to keep in shape because i help other get in shape" bullcrap. I think each and everyone of us has a job/family to take care of/activities besides the gym, but we still diet and train hard.

Its the same thing in my gym. They also have this program that trains one to become a PT. They all look like kindergarden boys or fat blubber whales but they act like they are the shittt. I also get some nasty looks because i'm kind of the biggest guy in the gym as far as muscle(obviously there are whales with whom not even a schoolbus can compete). They sometimes come to me and try to give me advice and stuff. I'm like dude, just leave me alone, look at yourself and look at me, obviously what i'm doing works for me and what you do dosent. So why the hell would i listen to you ? They kind of avoid me now. I havent broken any rule to give them reason to kick me out, and besides, when new customers come by to check the gym it help to have fit people working in the background. So considering my gym is full of retired french farts and "gangsta" kiddies thick as a stick, i think i'm actually doing them a favour.

It does get annoying, but they have quality machines, enough space, its pretty close to me and i already got used to all the stuff there.

I was amazed when I did my PT course as some of the members had never lifted a dumbell in their lives.

Me too.... Exactly the same m8... A lot of the people on mine had only ever done cardio

[baseline_9]

Oh yeah, one of LA Fitnesses guideline ''Dont train beyond your own limit''

Made me laugh... So are you saying please dont progress?

Ergggghhhhh.... My reply '' Yeh Im a wimp m8''

PT ''Come on it just over there and its in 10 mins''

Me '' That sound great but NO!''



Fuk off man, I wanna train, why are you even talking to me you nob head

Good for you in staying calm.

[baseline_9]

HAHA

Yeh I should have taken him and done 10 supersets of Deadlifts vs Leg Press


What pisses me off the most is the fact that he was trying to make me feel bad or embarrass me in front of my GF because I didnt wanna do his stretch class

Why would I stop doing my cardio that I have to do to come and do something else.... Errrgggghhh.. Obviously a lot of people less serious than me just go to the gym and see what happens on the day

[dec11]

i was offered a position as PT with them before, they wanted £550 per month rent!!

[dec11]

this reminds me on one occasion when some twat of an instructor walked up and asked me if i wanted tips on getting my squat heavier, he looked all of 18-19 and about 11st. i just gave him a 'wtf' look and he said maybe some other time. i just thought, 'fvck off before i eat you for my post w/o protein'.

he looked mighty embarrassed whilst watching me knock 6 reps out 220kg's afew weeks later

they'll try anything for sales in big commercial gyms

[songdog]

Come on Baseline how do you know he wasnt checkin you out

[DSM4Life]

I go to LA for cocktails.

[jimmyinkedup]

LA Fitness is particulary bad as they literally pay their pt's $12/hr. You get what you fvcking pay for - I wouldnt let them train my dog.
At least at most Golds (although many there suck as well) trainers get 1/2 the session rate so they make like $25-$30 / hr.
I dont thimnk either place has "floor trainers" that they pay a decenty hoiurly rate to walk around and help those that need it - so any trainer wandering is actually being a vulture and looking to prey upon the weak and end up signing them up for training. Any instructor drumming up people for a class is merely afraid they will lose theirmeasly $15/class pay if LA drops the class for lack of participation. Man I could go on for days about LA Shitness and their true impact on "fitness". Fvcking joke.....

or "I'll do your class if you can stay on the stair master as long as I can.."

or, "No I'm not gay, since you look like you are and now that I've told you no, and further conversation on your part is sexual harassment by the staff on members.. who's your supervisor??"

jesus thats bad!! over this way you get charged monthly rent and a yearly fee and what you make is what you make. the only criteria is that you are registered REPS lv3 (REPS are a fvcking con if you ask me, they'll recognise some mickey mouse w'end cert and not some degrees, just another fvckin $tealth tax)

[spiketannin]

all there trainers seem like kids in there teens who are skinny and dont really even work out.. i dont get where they even get the confidence to even become a trainer!!

LMFAO!!!!!!!!I wish i could control myself like you guys. But i've found that the best gyms are the ones that don't advertise, or give anything for free. And typically will allow month to month memberships without having to ask for a credit card or bank info. Pay, one way or the other, or you're not welcome till you do. These are typically your more hardcore gyms that know a dedicated individual will come back to their establishment.

[lovbyts]

What you should have done is say OK but only if you join me for 10 minutes of training after we are done and put a squat rack on him and a set or dumbbells to watch him hit the floor trying to do squats and bean himself with a dumbbell. that would be classic.

very true, i found a little small gym via facebook down at an industrial estate, everyone knows what they're doing and no-one bothers you

[baseline_9]

Yeh I used to train at a up market commercial gym about 5 years ago... You just pay way too much and TBH the gym kit is crap.

I now pay £15 per month and have a gym full of hammer strength, dumbbells up to 220lbs, about 40 pieces of cardio kit and a wall full of BBing/PL'ing trophies.

Im not going anywhere.


And WTF is with these Techno Gym 20KG Plates.... They are about 3 inches smaller in diameter... Really throws u when ur DL'ing

[Dukkit]

I was approached by some kid saying that he was a personal trainer at LA.

Tried getting me to come in and take a tour and sign up. Blah blah.

When I said no, he offered me a free week pass.

I said..."Ill take that free pass and Ill come in for the tour... if you join me for a squat session during my visit."

Needless to say... he didnt take me up on the offer.
