Mainly Gold's GymSeantakuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12675251366023917780noreply@blogger.comBlogger3125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122697755272158380.post-30765193496885771332019-08-07T22:38:13.072-04:002019-08-07T22:38:13.072-04:00Hilarious -- I am writing a decade after your post...Hilarious -- I am writing a decade after your post. <br /><br />I lasted with Gold's for just one month. The staff, particularly the sales people, are meat heads...not just meatheads but greedy, immoral meatheads who sign you up for membership levels far above what you requested, refuse to take no for an answer, push trainers on you. Then when you finally manage to downgrade to lower level, they still charge you at the higher level. <br /><br />Also, notice that if you buy anything at the counter, you don't have to sign a receipt or swipe your card. They automatically take the money out of your account. Think for a moment they can therefore take any more out at any time without your permission? Right again!<br /> <br />Read the reviews where these idiots help themselves to random $50 or $200 or $500 payments at a time. After 2 months you can't get the money reimbursed even though it was improperly taken -- unless you take them to court. Why? Because during that two month period you can contest charges. Afterward, you can't...so they are banking on you're allowing them to keep stolen money....That's right..they admit to the theft but then say you're too late in bringing the theft to their attention. <br /><br />Finally, yoga pants...There is nothing more repulsive to me than women in yoga pants. I don't care how fit you are, not one wants to see that. It's bad enough when these oblivious women saunter into Starbucks and prop themselves up on chairs exposing their privates while waiting for coffee...but at the gym...you could be working on the treadmill and right in front of you will be some women's @ss, outlined, exposed in her yoga pants....<br /><br />Or another who just flips herself over, butt and v to the mirror instead of doing her stretches privately and modestly on a matt...No, flips self over like a baboon shows its @ss and acts like it's nothing. The whole place is like a meat market with women exposing their privates. <br /><br />Needless to say...I lasted all of one month....I don't need these losers draining money from my bank account. Granted I saw amazing results after one month...and walking in the park doesn't quite get the results that the tread mill achieves....<br /><br />Now, instead of providing service and caring about fitness, gyms, particularly Golds are run by financially desperate greedy meatheads who view patrons as marks from whom to extract money....<br /><br />If you value your assets -- and not having to be around gross, skanky, low class, exhibitionistic people, just say no to Gold's gym.....people running and walking in nature are much higher class and evolved. People at the gym are just gross. The experience is demoralizing even if results are good. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122697755272158380.post-78541976653953643002009-08-12T23:03:18.618-04:002009-08-12T23:03:18.618-04:00Sorry!

Nothing but beefcakes & gym snob there. When I signed up for a gym I tried to find one where I could tell the people who went there were pretty average in skill. So it's less intimidating and I'm more likely to actually go :p <br /><br />I also notice that only women tend to work at the front desk of places like that. But, to be fair, I also hear that if you are a women and apply to a gaming store (like GameStop) you are TONS more likely to get the job. Because there is nothing nerds like more than to talk to nerdy girl, I assume.<br /><br />But LOL at having to write a LETTER to get your membership canceled. When I left Hawaii I called to cancel mine and they said I had to come down there in person, show two forms of ID and sign some papers. I didn't have to do half that much work to sign up! <br /><br />What a bunch of meatpie/vampire/seductresses!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
