It looked pretty clear to me, there was a picture of that guy with a red slash over him. They are not looking for power lifters there or body builders. So why let the guy work out there in the first place?

Someone should sue the shit out of that place. It's a gym not a day spa.

well duh. the more people we kick out the more we can pack in. Who is more likely to use their gym membership, grandma or al no-neck? they are in the business of selling memberships, not making people happy.
I could not work at Bally's

So what are you trying to say?
 I worked out for a long time at Bally's, even dated an employee for a while. But the high pressure sales, and the turnover of the patrons was a bit not my taste.

I never really had to worry about making a sale, the vast majority of my clients stood with me on their own accord.

This is how the golds in my area has become, I don't know how it is in other areas but I imagine it is all the same. When I joined my freshman year in highschool they had a special going where a family member could join foor $10 a month, so I joined with my neighbor, as his step brother and had my membership from April '04 to April '06. They built a new gym- which was nice at first.
But I loved the old gym, only hardcore guys who were there to work out in a dirty ass grungy gym (the best kind to go to to get a real workout), free weights on one side, machines on one side, cardio in front (It was set up kind of like 3/4 of a plus sign with an escaltor in the middle and locker rooms on the bottom floor). The management was great, the personal training was an outside company that did it out of their building and the guys were really nice. Iron weights, a body building haven, everyone respectful to each other. The new gym was tanning, kids play room, sauna, an entire upstairs of elipicals,a room for windmill bikes, and auxilary room for aerobics classes and a tiny section of free weights. All the weights were covered in rubber- which i dislike, the personal training was then by gold's and they wouldn't talk to your be nice unless you were their client and there was a new manger who was a total douche. Then people who came into that gym would be hogging machines, being annoying as shit and basically violating anything posted in the 10 commandments of weight training. The membership fee- a summer special of $70 per month and winter of $90. I didn't like the gym that much to begin with after they closed the old location for the new one. Espicially since I would have been paying 3 months for what I got 24 months for previously. The only good thing about that gym was there was this guy up there who wore a sweatsuit up there everyday and he was probably about 50 and he looked and acted like the guy out of dodgeball, I never saw him lift a weight once.
