[Anabolic4Health]

Soooo i have been a member of this gym since i moved to Calfor about 6 months now. The gym is always hot as hell. It appears to be an old warehouse or airport hanger that was converted to a gym.

i emailed the owners and the GM and they have not responded....

Soooo i have been a member of this gym since i moved to NY for about 6 months now. The gym is always hot as hell. It appears to be an old warehouse that was converted to a gym. It has ceiling fans but they are probably 30 - 40 feet above. However, they are never on. lately the gym smells a bit funny to (i think cuz of the heat). I am locked in for a 1 year membership (6 months left). In 16 years of being a member to many gyms i have never experienced anything like this. I have asked the front desk peeps everytime i come in to turn on the fans. most of the time they will do it for me.

I have asked the gym manager to look into this and 4 weeks have passed and the fans are never on and its hot as ****. you literally start breaking a sweat before you even start lifting...

I open the front door and prop it open. it's cold here so the cold air just blows in...then I turn on the cieling fans!

i would cancel my membership. Yes you have a contract, but they have to meet responsibilities too.

i would send them a letter certified mail stating that if they dont resolve the issue in a set period of time that you consider them in breach of contract.

I like the door propping idea. I don't usually go the blood and guts route on stuff like this. You have to assume they know theres a problem and aren't motivated to do something about it. Some hardcore PL gyms seem to take pride in having old equipment and no AC as part of the rite of passage or something. Have been a member of one and read about a few like this. If you read enough articles in the muscle mags of people being interviewed, they will sometimes reference gyms like this.

I think you need to talk to lovbyts, maybe y'all can trade

[Armykid93]

Gixx is spot on. They have to make sure your needs are met as well.

[GirlyGymRat]

Wear only a speedo next time you go to workout.

doesnt everyone do that already?

[Anabolic4Health]

Hahahahaha

i was at a home gym places when I lived in NJ and their air conditioning broke and it was during the summer. The place was a sweat box. It was like working out in a sauna. Anyhow they ended up shutting down bc it would have been a huge loss to fix lol.....

How much is the termination fee if u cancel within the 12 months?

Cause in honesty if its not leaving a hole in your pockek i would just consider canceling membership, or as gixxer has been stating tell them they have not met up to basic housekeeping of keeping the place cool, when clearly you have asked time after time to do it. They are just being negleftful and its not right, you paying for something that your not getting.

[cherrydrpepper]

You should walk in with just a sock on your twig and berries thatd be hilarious

[evander87]

Like the song says "It's getting hot in here. So take off all your clothes."

[twitz]

Can you get some of the other members to complain, maybe they'll listen if there are several?

[1992mag]

i love a hot gym. being drenched in sweat by the time youre done your workout, good stuff.

[Honkey_Kong]

As a form of protest, you should leave an upper-decker in a toilet in the locker room.

Super Har-bowl 2013. Did not see the pats losing. Shocked.

[ElectraMaddox]

So basically the HVAC is broke and ownership is waiting for summer to repair....

I'm done with this place.

I agree with being sweaty but I like knowing its from my training. It's to hot and thick air. Makes it very hard to breathe in this gym.

On a side note. Super Har-bowl 2013. Did not see the pats losing. Shocked.

Yeah that sucks, I'd get a different gym. I hate being hot when I'm working out. Good luck with that.

[Soar]

Sweat.
