jesus, most disgusting gym ever. er, but some background first. i'm in seattle (redmond, technically; the "east side"), washington, for my microsoft internship. they give you free membership at this gym called "pro sports". i got my badge today, which i was told by my roommate was the only necessity for obtaining the membership, so i bike on up there. (i craigslisted a bike for $75 from a guy in tacoma, for the purposes of exercise and recreation. however, it's smaller than i realized, and it needs a bigger seat before i use it for any such thing).
this place is completely floored by linoleum tiles; even in the exercise roooms. how much trendier can you get? the place has golden chandeliers lighting the racquetball lobbies, and there are 4 bistros. it's 3 stories (at least), and each of them is as big as a wallmart. i saw 3 cardio rooms, each of which had something like 200 bikes/treadmills/stairs. every fruity exercise machine/device you've ever heard of was there. i kept walking, thinking to myself "ok, ok, it's free... i know you'll lose your mind, but if the weightroom is half as stocked as the rest of the place... it's worth it". i finally find the "free weights", and did a count: 4 bench racks, 5 squat racks. the other 300 stations were machines of every variety. not a single deadlift pad, and not a single 100lb plate. so, looks like i'm finding my own gym for the summer. GAH. 4 bistros, no 100 plates... how can you call that a gym?
