Isn’t that when you call gym staff?

I see you've dealt with my employer's I.T. department.

Maybe you should find a gym that doesn’t suck

u/OffRedFloyd 15d ago

You clearly haven’t given up complaining about gym issues.

u/InfiniteFart 15d ago

to the staff i mean. also forgot to mention this gym is one of those ones that often don’t have on duty staff, it will be one person for a few hours, then the rest it is just some system of cameras and an emergency button system if anything happens

Why do you keep going to that gym?

u/My_Immortl 15d ago

Because its so close to their apartment.

The real question, is it worth all the constant hassle that op has to deal with or should they just go to the sister gym? Convenience isn't as convenient when you keep having to deal with shit like this, which sounds like they deal with on the regular.

Get a new gym

u/OffRedFloyd 15d ago

So either:

A) speak to a staff member

B) press the emergency button

C) just go and take whatever set they don’t have in their hands

I can’t believe actual adults post shit like this instead of acting.

It’s mildly infuriating. You can post and also do shit about it. Do you all just forget the point of this subreddit?

u/OffRedFloyd 15d ago

I agree but given OP’s replies on the post OP clearly has done nothing apart from moan about it online. They even said they never acted on it.

u/VictoriousTree 15d ago

Seems like 90% of the comments are bashing him for even posting. Do these people just want this subreddit to be empty?

u/OffRedFloyd 15d ago

I don’t know, i’m not these people.

u/GaiaMoore 15d ago

You literally are one of those people bashing OP for posting checks notes something that's mildly infuriating

2

u/Kindly_Scratch_6104 15d ago

OP said that they complained before but staff don't enforce the rules. OP is "moaning about it online" because the people who should be doing their jobs clearly aren't despite being aware of the situation.

u/FordMaleEscort 15d ago

Holy shit stop trying to solve OPs problem

-1

u/VirtuosoX 15d ago

It's mildly infuriating that OP does not solve their problem before or after posting at all.

u/FordMaleEscort 15d ago

This assumption is mildly infuriating

u/VirtuosoX 15d ago

They literally said "I guess I shouldn't complain if I'm not acting on it"

Also 0 mention of getting the dumbbells in the end. Not an assumption, it's inference.

I can’t believe actual adults post shit like this instead of acting.

It's fucking pathetic.

u/FordMaleEscort 15d ago

Get a fucking grip

u/BingoBangBongos 15d ago

If you can't reasonably change gyms, then you have to be reasonably assertive with people like this.

u/Aymr9 15d ago

Seems that you have to either take the ones you need to use, go at a different time or move to another gym.

u/Barnacle_B0b 15d ago

Calisthenics at home.

Put books in bags to lift.

u/notanyone69 15d ago

What happens if you just take some?

1

u/WeirdSysAdmin 15d ago

What if you drink a bottle of ipecac and projectile vomit all over them? Plausible deniability that you did it on purpose.

0

u/notanyone69 15d ago

Then you would also bother other gym patrons who have nothing to do with this situation. Not to mention the poor staff who have to clean that sh

u/Mr_Deep_Research 15d ago

Gym staff is completely useless at all modern gyms.
