How does this make a difference regarding grunting/no grunting? The whole thing is absurd.

Ridiculous. When you're working heavy, grunting just happens. So does flatulence. While I don't like it when the latter happens, sometimes it just can't be helped.

Fitness clubs cater to soccer moms, gym queens looking for a date, and frat boys

Not all fitness clubs are bad .. but the ones that are, are really bad, and "threatening muscleheads" scare the previously mentioned clientel.

Yep, big difference between a "fitness club" and a gym. I've been a member of both and definitely prefer the gym. Although, my current workout place is a fitness center, which is a little of both to neither extreme.

Gotta have a well-balanced workout. And I can't work out without making a lot of noise!

That is really very absurd. Why would making a sound get you kicked out of a fitness center...

Yep... there's a "fitness center" in Schulenburg. They tell you to be quiet when lifting on the weight machines. The free weight room isn't restricted.

The free weight room at my campus of the Austin Community College was similarly unrestricted... no one would bother us unless we got so loud that we disrupted the fitness classes in the next room.

what about all the goobers on their cell phones while lifting? that's the most annoying of all...

another favorite are the people looking for the close parking spot so they can go run on the tread mill....
