The Pros and Cons of Commercial Gyms

 Here is my pros and cons list for the typical commercial gym, and also a little ranting.


PROS
  • You can basically find one anywhere
  • Towel Service (because no one likes a sweaty butt print)
  • The lady who sports the thong leotard, you can't help but smile!

CONS

  • Bench Press Crews (aka the three dudes who swarm the bench press for a minimum of one hour)- only pro is getting a laugh when they rock up in matching outfits
  • Easy Listening Music- no one wants to max out to Jack Johnson's "Banana Pancakes"
  • Having to wait for a guy to finish eating his Snickers while he sits on a vital piece of equipment and then he doesn't put his weights back
  • Where's the squat rack? And the weight belt?
  • Useless pieces of cardio equipment
  • Personal trainers who just don't have a clue
  • People who practice Judo while walking down the hallway 
  • "GGGGRRRRAAAAAHHHHHH!!"" Dude stop grunting,  I'm squatting more than you...

We all do it!  Circling the gym for 10 minutes trying to find the closest parking spot even though those 30 extra yards would only add to our workout.


Have any others?  Leave a comment
I'm off to pump some iron and work on my guns ;)
