He will probably lose the customers that use them. He can’t be so dumb to overlook this fact. Do people really see 80lb dumbbells and go ‘fuck this gym is too hardcore for me’ or something?
Surely they can’t do that. The most yuppified gym I’ve ever been in (the cafe/massage therapy, etc type. My father has a membership because it’s close to his home) STILL had dumbbells going up to 120. There’s just no excuse. Also, if 24 hour fitness still has them, they can’t be THAT intimidating to new members.
Maybe get some of the members to circulate a petition. Maybe seeing the names in one place on paper could help persuade him and save the bells. Didn’t read the whole thread yet, just had to comment.[/quote]

Why don’t you just tell all the guys who use the heavier dumbbells that the new manager is going to get rid of them. Then they can each tell the manager that when he does that, they’ll be canceling their memberships.
If that doesn’t work, nothing will.[/quote]
This is great advice. You need to really get the word out but also need to do it in a way that it doesn’t get back that you spilled the beans.

Ummmm, Ask him if you can have them? I mean shit whats he gonna do with them, sell them on e-bay? I’d be like, Excuse me sir, I too think this gym is way too hardcore. I really believe we need to take out the 45 lb plates, the squat rack, all the olypic bars, and any dumbell over 50 lbs.
Don’t worry about hiring someone to come take them out, me and my buddies, scratch that you don’t have buddies, me and a few mexican immigrants who I will pay under the table to help me, will move this stuff out for you.
And if you don’t have anywhere to put it, I am buying a house with a barn which I am converting into a gym, so you and your mexican buddies er I mean helpers can bring it over to my new place once I close on it.

Your boss sounds like an idiot. There’s no negotiating with idiots. It’s probably best not to say anything.
If your gym is even considering getting rid of the big bells, then it’s probably not that hardcore anyway. It’s not the equivalent of moving the heavy weights out of Gold’s Gym Venice Cali. [/quote]

I’ll be quick: The fitness center I work at just got a new Manager. He is planning on changing the gym to be less intimidating. One of the things he is planning on doing is getting rid of dumbbells past 80. I work there and need the money (especially in these times). He works out, but I guess just doesn’t get it. Besides the fact that members use the heavy dumbbells,
what can I say to him to convince him that heavy dumbbells aren’t intimidating? any suggestions? Keep in mind I can’t tell him anything vulgar …I need the job for now, but I’d like to atleast try to sway him. Thanks
He’s a new manager, so he has to justify his existence. He won’t give a shit what you think.

Get lost. I thought you said you’d never reply to me again. You just can’t stay away huh? You like me don’t you.
When I say that, it pertains to individual threads. When you have legit answers to my questions you will be taken seriously. Until then everyone will know that you are a major tool at every chance possible.

What’s the deal with this ‘too intimidating’ thing… Man… I guess from a business standpoint… it makes sense… if you wanna attract a broader clientele base… but christ all mighty… Just join another gym…[/quote]
