Oh wow. There's quite a few in IL ... the vast majority look extremely dated.

There's a brand called "Lifetime Fitness" that's dominating. When you enter, it looks like a Hilton.

I have a membership to bally's...it doesn't surprise me. The last time I was there, they had 8 employees standing around doing nothing. Literally. I counted 8 dumbasses standing around with their thumbs up their anus.

Which brings me to my next point: why is it that every single person (guy) on the face of the earth that works at a gym is a complete macho douchebag ex frat boy couldn't-make-it-in-college-I-still-live-with-my-mom-but-drive-a-350z-so-I think-I-fucking-own-so-I'll-look-down-on-you-when-you-come-to-work-out-because-your-tan-isn't-as-dark-or-as-fake-as-mine-asshole?

Yeah but its not that hard to be fit when you're 19-23, as compared to when you're in your late 30's or early 40's. I'd rather have someone older who is still fit.
