I thought old school gyms were meant to be friendly, and a great welcoming environment? All I got was bullied. I feel like everything I've read on this stupid site has been one big fucking lie.

I hate you all.

Welcome to Adulthood.
Stop giving a fuck, sounds like a right of passage for a local gym.

Like fuck you're going to pay membership for the next 3 years because youre a cuck.

Go back there tomorrow, if they give shit tell them to get fucked im here to train for the next 3 years, just try and say it with a smile.

I can't tell if this is a meme or not. Every powerlifting type gym I've been to has always been welcoming and friendly, but I already was capable of lifting an okay amount of weight before showing up so maybe that's why I didn't experience what you did.

well op it looks like your only solution is to get jacked

Never gonna make it OP

See Charlie Parker

This. How tall are you op? Roid if you have to. You're gonna let this faggot owner do this to you?
Have some pride. Get fucking huge and shit down his throat.

They're just hazing you. It's a rite of passage and so far you're failing. If you keep showing up and working they will respect you soon enough. Don't be a pussy.

Also take as many selfies as possible and don' rerack the weights

I only know about this because of whiplash. It's an awesome story.

My gym isn't a planet fitness and it's not a """""""""proper gymnasium"""""""", it's just 24/7 gym with nice enough people, some lift hard some are casual. You can do whatever lifts you want.

These. Grow some balls

Just piss on all the equipment while maintaining firm eye contact with all of them. It will establish dominance and make them respect you.

Keep going then

>tell them to get fucked
I hit the character limit for the OP, but I did say few choice words to him and he muscled up and asked me if I wanted to take it outside and have my teeth smashed in. Like, the dude was huge. Biggest guy I've ever seen in person. Easily 6'8, close to 300lbs, and massive arms and legs. He could probably crush my skull with one hand. So I wasn't going to fight someone that would easily destroy me.

>How tall are you op?
I'm only 5'7 :(

>They're just hazing you
I don't consider the threat of having my teeth smashed in as hazing.

Yeah, see I made the mistake of listening to posts like

Lawfag here. Get an order against harassment (whatever they may call it in your state) against him, then he literally cannot speak to you or he risks being arrested. Start filming him too, more evidence for the court. Alternately you can take him to civil court and explain the situation, how he guilded you in and now you're stuck paying to exercise at a hostile business. They may award you back your money and he'll probably lose his business license.

More evidence the better so start filming it, and post it here so we can lol.

You sound like a DYEL megacuck. Just keep going back to the gym until they respect you

This op

They didn't threaten you until you sperged tf out and made all kinds of your own threats. Apologize and get back to work.

This. Also what state? I know California law requires a 5 day right to cancel to be in the contract.

>I don't consider the threat of having my teeth smashed in as hazing
This is what single mothers have done to men. Sissified them

This is what we get for not prioritizing family and instead focusing on government intervention on our lives

>things that never happened
You could have actually went to the gym and worked out in the amount of time it took you to make this up.

What makes you think you belong in a gym like that? Because you come on some internet fitness board you think you're a fitness elitist who needs a special gym? Are you planning on becoming a roided out meathead like them? People like that are usually douchebags. They don't excel in other areas of their life so they compensate. Whether it's a big truck so they can "own" the road or big arms so they can "own" the gym. They're just peabrained needledicks, let them have their safe space and false sense of power.

Wow triggered much?

>Entire gym stops working out and bullies you for starting with 1 plate
I'll take things that never happened for 500, Alex

fake and gay

>>>/reddit/

>I don't consider the threat of having my teeth smashed in as hazing.

>I don't consider hazing to be hazing

Why did you even start this thread, other than to highlight the fact that you have no idea how to interact with other adults?

What's going on in your life? Why are you riding a scooter?

people like you are why every institution nowadays officially bans hazing. grow a pair and overcome yourself.

How about you fucking man up and lift there for 3 years and get huge? They'll start respecting you once you get strong and big. They started out with an empty bar too, everyone did.

How much did you pay for the 3 year contract?

Do this. Do your best to destroy that beta bitch owner. He's being a complete faggot by not being polite to paying customers. He clearly has no idea how to run a business.

Complete bullshit, almost every "roided out meathead" and elite powerlifter is a very nice person, much better than people who don't exercise. Much better people than you, you're clearly an insecure cunt.

>dont hurt yourself cupcake
>ayyy lick my balls faggot
Its not hard op. Just talk a little shit back to them. Its not mean its just bantz

>it's fake because muh unspoken fattylifting moral code!!

put your headphones in. they can't verbally abuse you if you're listening to music.

>fattylifting
Don't project at me you little turd, I promise if you go to the gym just this once everyone won't drop what they're doing just to bully you out of the place

this
That's why the other people there had hoodies and headphones in, OP

Burn the place down, you fucking pussy.

Tell them "I want to lift heavier but I don't think anyone here is strong enough to spot me"

Or say "yeah I get it I'm weak I just finished my last dose of chemo a month ago and still feel frail" guilt them.

Or say "Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Take it to your lawyer with all the bullshit mobbing crap these days they practically raped you and threatened you

I honestly wouldnt mind the treatment as rite of passage if they guy didnt fuck you over with a contract

this. get it on film and post it here.

this is a classic case of not being able to handle the bantz

Jesus Christ, you fucking pussy. Time to transition into a woman.

they gave you good banter and instead of banter back you and having a good time there with lots of laughs and gay blowjobs you get angry?

what a faggot

Knowing myself, I wouldn't even understand why they're talking shit to me and would give them confused looks

Sounds like a gym where men are made. They were just checking if you want to seriously lift, apparently not

fuck, the same. I thought I'm the only retard that never understands jokes.

op devastatingly outbantered

taking a minor beating , you might get to sue and you'll be the new gym owner!

>When I have kids I'm going to abuse the fuck out of them
>Because abuse is good and I want to see them in pain
See how stupid you sound.

this sounds so made up

OP, you honestly sound like a puss. Have you never had friends that have busted your balls before? If what you said in the OP is even remotely true, you should be ashamed. It's no wonder this new generation is completely fucked. You all cry "harassment" at the first sign of a little banter I'm sure most gym noobs get when they go there. Maybe you should just stick to posting on internet forums instead of interacting with real people. It's safer for your feelings that way.

>he fell for the hardcore gym meme
Here is the red pill buddy. The best gyns are fitness gyms that try to catch on to the crossfit trend without paying the fees. For you that means hot chicks in slutty outfits everywhere, and enough squat racks, dl platforms with bumbers. I really have no clue how people can lift in a gym without hot chicks. I would be lost if I could not check out chicks in between sets

kill yourself

>OP tries to get fit but accidentally gets a 3 year membership in a gym themed gay S&M fetish club

>friends
banter with someone i don't know can be touchy, much lower tolerance.

>Right of passage

Revenge of the nerd fantasy here get over that shit user

You do realize you have to be 18 to post here right?

>don't hurt yourself cupcake
>haha the only thing I might hurt is my funny bone with all your jokes haha.
>haha wow that's a real knee slapper haha
Just out-autism them user. You're too weak to fight them, you're too stupid to read the ToC, so play to your strengths.

Wow, it's like you've never overcome something shitty and became better for it. Fuck off

Dear Diary:

Today OP truly was a faggot.

Your response shouldve been:

>give me 2 years you old lardass
>so how many viagra do you take to fix your roid induced limp dick

Jokingly of course. It will gain you respect.

fag

man up faggot. they're hazing your for being a weak bitch. When you can finally lift something heavier than a dick they'll be nicer

>its just banter op you cant handle a REAL GYM for MEN

Its just a gym you faggots, not some sort of bootcamp, i dont want some faggot roidheads with zero social life to follow me around trying to be funny when im lifting

This.
This thread seems to be filled with faggots that think treating someone like shit makes them a better person
>I rode the train home after work and called this black person a filthy nigger the whole time
>LOL
>He's going to thank me tomorrow when he finally becomes a better person like me

This is a strawman argument.

>they're all laughing as I'm walking back to my scooter

yeah i believed your post till I got to this line, nice b8

10/10 troll op
suprised so many took it

Where the fuck are you people finding these long-term contract gyms?
Every gym I've gone to was month-to-month payments.

>Welcome to Adulthood.
where people you pay can treat you like shit for no other reason bc they think they can?
What's adult about shouting insults at people ,if anything that's childish. Adults tend to respect one another but not shun conflicts and children tend to thjrow insults and run away from conflicts.
Hiding behind, muh lawyer is childish
op slash his tires

gym owner is just a pussy hiding behind his size his jew lawyer and his 3 buddies
Also you can denounce any service contract within a certain timeframe,

>all these people saying "stop being a pussy"

>and the gym owners name? Albert Einstein

Cancel payment/cancel the card you use to pay. Hang up on them, don't respond to mail they send you. Let them try to sue you. Highly doubt they will sue for a couple hundred dollars.

>this is how modern America deals with problems

Running to their lawyers like a child to mommy

OP is not a kid is he?

You guys do realize that this didn't really happen, right? What a story, Mark.

who the fuck believed all this bullshit

Let's throw around the ball

It's a racket.
They shit on you so you never come back again
They're still collecting cash, they don't WANT you to come and use the equipment.
If you can do a credit card chargeback, do that. Otherwise, go lift at that gym every damn day to spite them.
Use the shit out of that contract. It's the best way to get back at them.

these are a few

>OP is such a fag, he can't handle a little bit of hazing
Not gonna make it

Guys OP discovered the Gym Bully Academy

>as I'm walking back to my scooter
I would've bullied you too. Seriously, how beta are you ? Can't you simply do your thing and go home ?

>go there
>lift the weights
>get them gains
>become huge
>no one fucks with you anymore
There, done. This will be worth more than what you'll pay.
I was bullied for as far as I can remember, and there is only one way to deal with it: ignore it, do your thing, succeed and see the cucks around seethe in rage.

>I did say few choice words to him and he muscled up and asked me if I wanted to take it outside and have my teeth smashed in. Like, the dude was huge. Biggest guy I've ever seen in person. Easily 6'8, close to 300lbs, and massive arms and legs. He could probably crush my skull with one hand. So I wasn't going to fight someone that would easily destroy me.
How come you didn't have the spirit of pointing out that you don't fight cowardly losers who pick on younger, weaker people ? and that you're here to lift anyway and don't have time to answer ever barking dog
just how mentally inept are you

They were probbably just fckin with u in bro style like they always do with their bros but u took it personal as some kind of insult.

How much did you pay? Some weights, a pull up bar and a soft ground in your house would be a far better investiment.

i giggled at your post

Stop being a fucking numale and bant back

>Includes people that called OP a liar in a post about people falling for the OP
low effort
