So just a few minutes ago I had gotten a phone call from the gym chain planet fitness to go in tomorrow for an interview. While I am excited im also nervous because I have no idea what its like working at a gym. I applied for a front desk position so I would assume all I would have to do is sign in members and deal with the cancelation of memberships but thats about it. Does anyone have anymore insight about what its like working at a gym?

What a joke.

I don't blame him for cussing at her. I would have myself.

Anybody who's lifted any significant amount of weight knows you'll unintentionally grunt. i.e. Exhalling while lifting.

Actually you'll get to know a lot of ugly fat women wanting to become hot women..then when they don't become hot and skinny over night they'll cancel their member ship and blame you.. at least thats what I imagine it'll be like.. surely it won't be THAT bad though. lol

Nothing. Small talk; help people who can't scan their card, and maybe replace the alcohol dispenser used to clean the equipment.

That would only happen if he had applied for fitness trainer position. Oh and you can always ignore the fat and ugly women, I mean not entirely cause you'd get fired but something like:

Fat girls: Bye, see you tomorrow. :oops:

You: Bye, see you next time :).........(in your mind: you fat ugly bitc*es :x) lol

Don't need to imagine it. I've seen it.

Men too when they don't buff up over night and have that stomach fat dissapear.

Most people are simply lazy and don't want to put in the work (yes work...lots) that it takes to have a nice or even mediocre body.

The same thing you can expect from every other BS low level job. Boredom, disrespect, stress, suicidal thoughts.

Most polite or respectful members of any gym wipe or disinfect the equipment after use. Or perhaps before you use the equipment, you could do the same.

All of the front desk people look pretty unhappy.

Has to be boring. LOL@ Those videos. Had no clue that's what Planet Fitness was about, that's pretty sad. A gym dedicated to keeping muscle heads out. If you were serious about your training, wore headphones, or brought some light reading (newspaper on the bike?) grunting isn't distracting in the least bit, much less intimidating. How is somebody else working out intimidating? That's some s*** policy they got there.

Don't need to imagine it. I've seen it.

Most people are simply lazy and don't want to put in the work (yes work...lots) that it takes to have a nice or even mediocre body.

They also need to fix their diet as that is most likely the leading cause of their being fat. Everybody wants a nice body but nobody wants to put the effort in. They would rather take diet pills or get a operation. They want the easy fix the fast way but it takes time to get fat. Yet all the time they were spending turing into a lard ass should just mean nothing. They then blame the gym for not working and quit SMDH :lol:
