Default When the Hell do they open!!??

I woke up at 6am this morning, Sat, no freakin holiday, which is actually a LATE start for me to exercise, psyched about gettinig my morning run on. As I pull it to WOW in Fairview, NJ, not only are they closed (mind you, this gym is supposed to be the sh$t!) but finding out WHEN THE HELL they DO open is IMPOSSIBLE. Call them? Nothing. WEB site? Crap. I know ghetto gyms that ARE open, and have their hours RIGHT on the ENTRANCE DOORS. WOW should fuc$in try that!!! That place is ALL HYPE!!

This happened before. Crackhead complaining about a gym in Thailand somewhere.

And for the record, I was there, I just wasn't answering the phone...

Some people like to run outside. Just thought I'd mention.

Didn't the guy before come back three days later and hit the thread with spam with another username? Tag team SPAM.

I might be thinking of some other spammer, though.

They all sort of blend into each other.

They do indeed. But driving to the gym to jump on the treadmill is just so much easier and much more time consuming.

I imagine running in a foot or two of snow has to really mess up your form...

Not really, I just bought these:




They're great. And if there is too much snow, I just throw on the old snow shoes.

I need some of those! We've got so much ice right now it's impossible to go anywhere. The ice coating on the grass even supported my weight.

Surely they have some 24 hour gyms in the area. THe solution is an easy one though... Quit that gym.

BTW, I don't want to presume you're another spammer setting up a reply from someone else who miraculously shows up on this forum with an answer to all your problems, but we are paranoid or perhaps even jaded from having seen that happen in here before. Just so you know that we're not generally rude to new folks.

Those look like they would do fine on the ex-wife. At least while I'm wearing them.
