| - This club is going downhill under new management. I've been coming to this location for close to a decade, and it's turning into a planet fitness. The only thing it is missing is a lunk alarm...
The club is in the basement with very poor ventilation. The change rooms are small, stinks, and dirty most of the time. The only reason I come to this club is that it's close to my house, made friends with people here over the years, and the power/squat racks are decent.
Through all my years, using chalk has never been an issue at this club but currently with the new manager there is a witch hunt on chalk. The new manager is very duplicitous on laying blame on other members complaining about "chalk" use. Since the power/squat racks are well away from all the other workout areas, and I see no reason for anybody who actually go near that area to complain. Like I said, I've been here for years, and never had a problem. In fact the serious trainers in the past use chalk themselves...
For now out of respect I will switch over to liquid chalk (colourless liquid grip) so the manager doesn't have to police anymore, and he can spend more time on the computer surfing the internet... Serious lifters will always be here, staff come and go, when this happens people will start using chalk again.
In the end, I see really no point in alienating long time members who actually put there weights away... Please concentrate on things that will improve the club. IE) clean change rooms, educating douche bag members to put their weights and towels away after use.., bolting large gym equipment to the floor so it does not get moved, and take space in the aisles.
Thanks...
Joe
