At one time in my life I had 6gym memberships…I held two for a long time. Then I built out a pretty decent home gym. As my sons friends say, “dude you have a gym! You said home gym! Not a GYM!”

It isn’t that big basically it’s three racks wide. I have a smith, a REP half rack 5000 with the 1” bolts, and the next space over is a room for a rack and a half prob but this is my dumbbell area and movement space. Even with that I kept Anytime fitness due to late work outs and traveling. I preferred working out at gyms for at least legs.

Recently my son has been wanting to workout in a gym. I’d dropped anytime so some management issues and had just been training at home.

In AZ all the Golds gyms got turned to the name EŌS. At anytime I didn’t have to deal with this stuff but at these EOS gyms no one puts weights back. In my younger days the older guys would say that was part of your “functional” workouts was placing weight back on racks!

I don’t know how women even come to these gyms needing a Hammer machine but it’s got weight all round on the floor and six plates on the machine!

Is the status of protocol in gyms gone? A few of my friends gyms deal with this but one guys gym says he doesn’t and people clean up themselves? Is this a sign of the times?
