But the worst, was a gym that was advertising as being a "hardcore" gym, but they actually had a damn GRUNT ALARM. If you grunted at ALL, or even talked too loudly, an alarm would go off and then a voice would ask you to politely keep it down. I walked out of that place asap.

Thats hilarious! I've never hear of an alarm. What bothers me is when I go to my gym and people are sitting/standing around talking, using machines/equip with an incredibly lengthy interval between sets and I think, why do the fat people come and walk 2 miles per hour, eliptical rotations at 20 per minute, or take 10 minutes to do two sets. What a waste of time of even coming (AND SPACE)! They could just go for a walk and avoid the dues!
