I can't stop myself at this point.
From the Jacksonville site, some pictures from their personal training section:
Nothing an out of shape mother of three needs more than to sit on her ass in the gym and over stretch the shoulder capsules. And what's up with that guys professional uniform? Jeans and a tee-shirt?
I'm sure he's doing the near-surgery level task of counting to 15 for her (since she doesn't want to "bulk up"). What's that in his hands? Is he text messaging his girl friend?
What-EVUH!
This one makes me want to hurl a dumbbell at that idiots head! Oh great... You have an elderly client, which means put her on every machine and do the exercises sssuppper slow, because that's how you train old folks. As if the fact she's on a machine is not bad enough, he's got her on the lumbar disc evicerator 2000... Guaranteed to fuck up even a healthy back!
This guy's smiling -- from the tacky windowless office that apparently a status symbol that means he's higher on the food chain in this shallow PT gene pool -- because he just got another ignorant sucker who knows even less than he does to set an appointment with him. Goody, now that hapless sap will get to listen to this trainer talk about himself (how much he can bench, how many girlfriends he's picked up from the aerobics department, etc, etc... Ad nuseum). Lucky guy.
This is rich. Here is what they have to say under the "aerobics" section:
Notice they bring their starlet back, and showing a spread eagle no less. A poorly taken photograph of a not-so-hot-but-probably-smokin'-by-local-standards babe, pasted arbitrarily with... a treadmill.
I'm moved. At least, that's what I would be saying if they were the only gym in the area.
Here is what you get if you click on the freeweight shortcut. Three pictures of biceps curls. Yep, all of freeweights can be relegated to one exercse.
Nick's got to love the borderline mullet. I'm diggin' the clown pants and the weight belt. I'll leave the horrendous form alone as it's just too easy.
You want bad? Look no further than your local market people.
I need an example of a poorly designed gym web site
