There's a new snap fitness opening up here tomorrow, I might check it out. $10 a week, no join up fee sounds pretty good. I'd never leave my uni gym though (I get free membership anyway
)

ive heard its decent, mines only $37 a month.
They have dumbells, benches, but they don't have a squat/power rack so no chance to do squats
oh ffs there i found out there is one thing worse then grunters in the gym , someone that whistles as they exhale
some tosser was on the bech press , every time he exhaled instead of grunting he whistled , sounded like postman fucking pat , i was ready to ark up at him it was giving me the shits big time

If some prick went off at me for making noise during my workout in a gym theyd be getting smacked across the face no matter how much they can squat. Fair enough if someone is actually getting in your way or whatever but if your distracted by someone grunting its your problem.

As long as its not stupid amounts. There is no need for it.
The thing that pisses me off the most at the moment is:
"SQUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEE" said by guys spotting people doing bicep curls in groups of 3-4. All taking in turns of repping and spotting.
and
"CMON BRO, ALL YOU BRO CMOOON. FINISH IT, FINISH IT... FUCK YEAH! SMASHED IT BRO"
Every session at my gym, usually by the same people.

There is 'bro' motivation and grunting. Both of which are over the top and done purely for attention purposes. Normally what is impressive to them (weight used, poor form, training noise, gym attire etc etc) is typically seen as a dickhead showing off to the 99% of others.
Then you have the people who are serious trainers, have purpose behind the way they train and if someone like them/me makes a little noise or gives (the wife in my case) a bit of a word of encouragement, that is fine in my book. It is not done for show, purely to make the workout the best it can be in everyway.
Just my opinion

I understand its annoying but those dudes are aloud to give each other encouragement, i mean its a gym not a library.
I spent enough time in commercial gyms for all that to fade into the background noise along with the constant banging and dropping of weights and the crappy music ff plays.

I had a guy like that yesterday spotting my military press, aiming for 6-8 and told him, really struggling at the 6th and hes said "comone bro 4 more lets get 10". Started pissing myself with laughter cause it wasn't gunna happen.
Started a new temp job this week talking bout weights and that with some other kid sipping on my protein at lunch, he said "yeah I wanna hit the protein shakes and aim it at my back" Had a chuckle to myself and switch the convo back to work.

why was someone spotting you on military press? That's like someone spotting you on deadlifts..

Sorry I don't watch TV unless a ball is being throw or kicked, punches are being landed or a hot chick is blowing a guy.
Cheers.

Seated military/overhead press... Easier for a spotter to grab when I fail.
