I hate commercial gyms.

So, I'm going to end this week having only lifted one day. This is a complete failure at training, as far as I'm concerned.

My pathetic excuse for a gym - excuse me, "health club" - has been closed for the last two days. This wouldn't be an issue if the closure had been announced, or had any real purpose. The lobby area is being repainted and refloored, which is a pretty ridiculous waste of money considering it looked extremely nice (too nice, actually) to begin with.

I'll be off to school in two months, and I can't wait to say "I'm here to cancel my membership" to the "wellness and spa" staff. I'm sick of hearing trainers (who don't know what "back extension" means) telling me I'm too loud when I'm Rowing or Deadlifting. I don't want to hear anyone else tell me I'm going to break my knees in half, get cancer, and turn gay from squatting deep, nor do I want to see some chicken-legged bro doing Curls in the power rack when I'm in a hurry.

One more thing: I can't wait to rid myself of bro-challengers. You are not badass if you see me Pressing 150 lbs for 3x5, load up the Smith Machine with 50 lbs worth of plates (plus the almost nonexistent weight of the bar), then loudly declare "it ain't even a set if it ain't ten reps," then do piss-poor seated BTN Presses.

Lifestyle Wellness and Spa, I hope you burn to the ground along with every other commercial gym in the world. $35 a month is too much for a power rack, a barbell, some plates, a flat bench, and several hundred bros.
