Well, I left Pro Fitness in search of greener pastures. I'll make a long story short. World Gym in Leonardtown is way closer to where I live and I am also paying less per month for my wife and I.
I am returning to a gym that I helped open in 2000. I left in 2003. Much of the same nice equipment and some great additions. I was told so many BS stories about World Gym since John Parker took over. Like not being able to do any type of deadlifting, dumbbells not going up past 80lbs, no chalk, no grunting, and other BS. Not true at all. I cannot believe I fell for the load of crap.
I have only been back 2 weeks. My training is going very well. The atmosphere is quiet and reserved but everyone has been friendly. Nice to see some of the old faces and regulars. I have been asked if I am working there again. lol
A couple of days ago, I witnessed something beyond my comprehension. Something so wildly funny that I must share.
A dude came in sporting a very thick hoodie sweatshirt. He hopped up on an elliptical, pulled the hood up, and yanked the drawstrings tight. Thus closing the hood over his face. Only his nose was visible!
Now I am not stupid. I understand that boxers and mma guys pull up there hoods on their sweatshirts while training to sweat more. And to also get themselves in a "hardcore" zone so-to-say. But nothing like this.
This dude proceded to train with this setup in the weightroom also!! He was doing some weird grunting/breathing/wheezing crap too. I almost lost it!
Anyhow, good times...............
