The one by me has squat racks, benches, all kinds of machines (supine bench, hack squat, MTS row, etc.), free weights (plates and dumbbells).Lunk alarm is GONE.Cryo lounge to relax in after grunting nice and loud after 3 sets of Bulgarian Split SquatsAll this for $25/month.Tell me again why I should hate this place?
>>77477969You don't need to hate it. If it works for you then there's no problem.
>>77477969yea, it's been like that for a long time
>>77477991I tried it today and my knees felt very awkward... like a lot of pressure (and I didn't even place them that far down).Are all hack squats like that? Or just this particularly one?
>>77477969>$25/monthThought it was $10/month.
>>77478001It's $15 I think for the basic.$25 is for the premium one where you can go to any club (and bring guests).
the other day a witnessed a middle class black family standing at the reception after hours on a Saturday, waiting to buy a casual session for their son. obviously there were no staff so the parents told their son to force open the turnstile, which he did, and went in. they just continued waiting. i can't fathom this level of stupid. needless to say i told staff and had him kicked out
>>77478087Thus never happened
>>77477969>Tell me again why I should hate this place?It looks like a prison. You're paying rent for poor quality equipment spread around in a garage with no effort whatsoever and more often than not overcrowded.
>>77478118You're a fucking dipshit that's obviously never seen a prison yard. What you described is more accurate to crosshit gyms. PF can be crowded sometimes but most are 24 hours and that makes them more flexible to more people's schedule. They've got the same quality interior as most high price chains. The AC in mine is always cranked so high I have to take my sweatcap off mid session cause it's so cold it hurts. Depending on your location they even have a lot of the same amenities as more expensive chains. PF are highly subjective, if that really is your experience, this is a you problem because you're a poor piece of shit living in a slum.
>>77478022How they profitI live in Dubai, paying like 80usd atm
>>77477999Did you go really heavy on it? It’s not like the leg press where you can throw a shit load of plates on it. Puts to much pressure on the knees.
>>77478227Listen toad i hold the keys to this yard, you'll treat me with respect or you can come to my cell and find out how white boys fight.
>>77477969It’s fine, I wouldn’t discourage anyone if that’s what’s in their budget, but the machines aren’t anything great and in some cases are pretty bad. Squat racks all have that stupid design where the Olympic platform is attached. Mine still has a lunk alarm, and it’s still enforced last time I went.
>>77477969Based and all, but the manager will personally come down and harass you if you make too much noise. It apparently upsets the alpha gens who use the gym for FREE mind you.
>>77478022WHAT THE FUCKI pay $35 for the shitty fucking gym in my swedish hometown (5k population) which has has a power rack, normie machines liie seated leg curl & extension, two different leg presses (one vertical one cable) and some other shit. But none of the more exotic ones that allow you to put on a fuckton of size without constantly having to tweak your technique with a fkn bb...
>>77478227>crowded>24 hours >high price chains>so cold it hurts>have a lot of the same amenities>poor piece of shit living in a slumSo, prison?
>>77478087Yeah im 330 pounds of black man bodybuilder muscle like ronnie coleman and samson dauda
>>77478300Because the subscription is low and all their marketing revolves around "you belong, no judgment!" the primary clientele is people who will have the gym membership and tell themselves they'll use it, then never do. Because the price is so low, they don't bother to cancel. Because its mostly machines, there's not too much wear and tear on the equpiment. And speaking from experience, they also just don't bother fixing broken equipment for months at a time
>>77479766My pf is really nice. I go at like 5 in the morning though and it’s just the regulars. Not packed at all.
>>77477969You'll max out machines in 6 months
>>77479827They have plate loaded machine too dingus. It's what you do next.
>>77477969>Lunk alarm is GONE.You must live in a faggot blue state. Here in Texas, the lunk alarm has never existed.
>>77477969>All this for $25/monthand ironically this is why you shouldn't go there
>>77477969>Lunk alarm is GONE.Lunk bros, we are SO BACK
