I GUESS WHEN BERNSTEIN AND WOODWARD PUBLISHED THEIR LITTLE PIECE ON "TRICKY DICK" THEY WERE THREATENED WITH LEGAL ACTION.
NO ONE LIKED "CIVIL DIS-OBEDIENCE" IN THE BEGINNING, ALLTHOUGH THROUGH THE YEARS OF THIS COUNTRY, HAS BEEN PUT TO USE IN ORDER TO MAKE FOR A MORE PERFECT UNION.
I KNEW WHEN I STARTED THIS BLOG, THE POSSIBILTY OF LEGAL RECOURSE AGAINST ME WAS VERY REAL. HOWEVER WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT MAN TAKING HIS FIRST STEP INTO SPACE, OR EVEN JUST PROVING THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER PLACE BEYOND THE HORIZON, THIS IS A SMALL MATTER, YET A SERIOUS MATTER.
HAVING RECIEVED AN ANNONYMOUS RESPONSE OF POSSIBLE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ME, MY PLAN HAS BEEN ACHIEVED.
I CAN HONESTLY SAY AS A VETERAN OF THE U.S.N AND I.D.F, AND HAVING BEEN INVOLVED IN SOME CORE STUFF, BEING THREATENED WITH A LAWYER DOESN'T SCARE ME.
I WATCHED GERARD BUTLER AND JAMIE FOXX'S "LAW ABIDING CITIZEN". I WONT SPOIL THE ENDING, BUT I REALLY AM A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN, TAX PAYING VETERAN.
AND I HAVE FIGURED OUT EVERY LAST MOVE, AND HERE WE ARE.
EVEN IF I WERE TO LOSE, AND HAVE TO PAY COURT COSTS RESTITUTION ( WHICH I GUESS THEY'LL HAVE TO TAKE THE "RAIDER-MOBILE"). SO I'LL JUST GET BACK ON A YACHT, GIVE UP, AND SLINK AWAY..
.YEAH RIGHT!
A WINNER NEVER QUITS! I WILL WIN. I HAVE THE E-MAILS FROM CERTIFICATION AGENCIES, POINTING OUT CERTAIN PEOPLE WEREN'T WHO THEY SAID THEY WERE..
PICTURES OF HEALTH HAZARDS BOTH BIOLOGICAL, AND MAINTENACE RELATED. I AM ON RECORD WITH THE STATE LOGGING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. I CAN PROVE THEY HAVE "PWND/OWND" THEMSELVES.
I STARTED THIS BLOG TO BRING TO LIGHT SOMETHING THAT IS HIGHLY OVERLOOKED, AND NEVER REPORTED BY THE MEDIA, FOR WHATEVER REASON THAT IS.
I HAVE DECDIED THROUGH THE USE OF CYBER SPACE TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. FOR SOME REASON I PICTURE THE WORDS OF THIS BLOG FILLING SOMETHING LIKE THE "PHANTOM ZONE" IN "SUPERMAN"-NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO ME, THESE WORDS OF TRUTH WILL FOR EVER FLOAT THROUGH TIME AND SPACE.
ALL I EVER ASKED FOR WAS WHAT WAS ON THEIR OWN CONTRACT, AND POSTED ON THIER OWN WALLS. YOU HAVE REVIEWED MY PAST BLOGS AND SEEN THIS FOR YOURSELF.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THROW OUT "SLANDER, AND LIBEL"- TO THAT I SAY: THE CAMERA NEVER LIES.
I RANTED MY BUTT OFF ON THE GOOGLE REVIEW SITE ABOUT THE "FITNESS COMPANY"
I RANTED ABOUT 2 TRAINERS, WITH PROOF THEY LIED ON THEIR BUSINESS CARDS WITH CERTS/LICENSES THAT EITHER THEY NEVER HAD, OR HAD EXPIRED.
I CALLED SOME ONE A "FAT ASS" AND A "LARDO". CHILDISH, YES, AND UN-PROFESSIONAL. SHE RESPONDED BY CALLING ME "JAG-OFF" AND A "TWEAKER"
I TOLD HER: "THATS MR. JAG-OFF, TO YOU", AND I MUST BE THE MOST SUCCESSFULL "TWEAKER", CAUSE I DONT KNOW ANY "TWEAKER" WHO:
1) WORKS OUT 5-7 TIMES A WEEK,
2) FOLLLOWS ALL THE GYM RULES TO A "T"
3) HAS A PATENT PENDING PRODUCT THAT'S GONNA BE HUMONGOUS! ,
4) A CERTIFIED PADI RESCUE DIVER, NRA CARD CARRYING MEMBER, USCG STCW 95 CARRYING, AND HAVE NO CRIMINAL RECORD,
ALL I ASKED FOR IS A CLEAN FACILTY-WHAT WAS ON THEIR WALLS, AND CONTRACT. THEY MAKE IT LIKE YOU WERE ASKING FOR A LIVER, OR A KIDNEY.
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO HAVE A CLEAN GYM?
WHEN I RAN MAINTENANCE AT "SOUTHPORT", I WOULD BE ASHAMED IF MY EQUIPMENT LOOKED LIKE THAT. (NOT THE RIPPED FABRIC AT THE"EXECUTIVE TYPE" CLUB) BUT THE SWEAT LEFT ON EQUIPMENT, THE PAPER TOWELS ON THE FLOOR, PEOPLE GRINDING WHO KNOWS WHAT TYPE OF BACTERIA INTO THE FABRIC WHEN THEY PUT THEIR SHOES ON BENCHES..
BACK IN THOSE DAYS, THE "SOUTHPORT" CROWD NEW I WAS BACK CLEANING THE GYM AFTER A YACHT DELIVERY, CAUSE THE PLACE WAS "SPARKLING".
I AM NOT OCD. JUST MILITARY BEARING, AND BEING A PROFESSIONAL. I AM NOT A SAINT BY A LONG MILE, BUT I TAKE PRIDE IN WHATEVER I DO.
I WILL ADMIT I YELLED AT A STAFF MEMEBR TO "PLEASE HAVE THE TRAINERS/CLIENTS WIPE UP AFTER THEMSELVES."
I WAS 10+ FEET AWAY, AND I APOLOGIZED, AND THEY HAD CALLED SECURITY. NO- THING HAPPENED.. YELLING IS A VIOLATION OF RULE #8.-CONDUCT.
YET IN THEIR VERY OWN CONTRACT-
RULE #25- "SANITATION" STATES-"MEMBERS WIPE DOWN AND DISINFECT EQUIPMENT AND TANNING BEDS AFTER EACH USEAGE", WHICH WAS REPEATEDLY VIOLATED, AND I REQUESTED IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER FROM ALL STAFF, TO PLEASE ENFORCE IT.
A LAWYER TOLD ME TONIGHT IT COULD BE "FRAUD."
NOT ALOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT MRSA/CDIF AND ANOTHER STAPH INFECTIONS THAT CAN LAY YOU UP IN A HOSPITAL FOR MONTHS, OR KILL YOU.
STILL HAVE TO PAY THE GYM-YOU SIGNED THE WAIVER.
THE MANAGER MENTIONED IN HER COUNTER POINT:
QUOTE"..DO YOU THINK WE'D GIVE A GUY LIKE YOU OUR NAMES?? NOPE! CHECK YOUR SPELLING (I HAD THIER BUSINESS CARDS AT TIME OF THAT PARTICULAR BLOG..HE HE EH..) BECAUSE YOU ARE WAY OFF!" END QUOTE.
WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL ME YOUR REAL NAMES, WHEN I HAVE YOUR SUPPOSED NAMES, ON THESE CARDS, AND THEN WHO ARE YOU REALLY? I DOUBT YOU GIVE THESE "FICTICIOUS NAMES" TO YOUR CLIENT AS WELL?
WEEEEIRD.
SO FAKE NAMES ON FAKE BUSINESS CARDS WITH YOUR FACILTIES NAME ON IT. OK.
RULE #6 "SAFETY REGULATIONS"-
"USING EQUIPMENT IN AN IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS FASHION IS NOT ALLOWED" THIS ONE GYMTARD WHO WOULD DO STANDING SHRUGS ON THE CABLE MACHINE, AND NEVER HAVE A TOWEL, OR DISINFECTED THE EQUIPMENT. SO YEAH, AFTER THREE MONTHS, YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE DEAF, AND HAVE TO SOUND OFF. TO FOLLOW THE CLUBS OWN RULES, AS HE WOULD USE THE QUIPMENT IN VIOLATION OF SAID RULE ABOVE, BESIDES LEAVING HIS SWEAT/BACTERIA ON THE EQUIPMENT..
I MENTION/RANT ABOUT THE AIDS/HIVerS ALOT.
I NEVER HAVE MENTIONED A "HATE" ISSUE, JUST HOW DISGUSTING IT WAS, AND DISCOURTEOUS TO LEAVE A BUNCH OF BIOHAZARD ON EQUIPMENT, AND GET AN ATTITUDE WHEN ASKED POLITELY TO FOLLOW THE CLUB RULES. I DIDN'T GET YOU SICK.
I CAN'T CATCH AIDs/HIV FROM SWEAT?-I DONT CARE!-ITS MRSA/CDIF I AM WORRIED ABOUT. THEY SAY USE A CONDOM TO PROTECT FROM HARMFULL BODILY FLUID.. THINK ABOUT IT.
"WANT TO TAKE A SHOT AT LATINO PEOPLE"..
I WASNT RACIST- THE DUDE WAS A LATINO, AND DEFINATLEY NOT FROM AROUND HERE, (THE UNITED STATES) AND HE'S GONNA GET AN ATTITUDE WHEN I ASK HIM POLITELY TO FOLLOW THE RULES WHILE IN MY COUNTRY?
AND THEN THIS LITTLE WORM HAS THE NERVE TO TELL ME TO "FUCK OFF" AND THINK I AMNOT GOING TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT?!! NOT THIS US CITIZEN/FORMERPARATROOPER!
AND YOU TELL ME "TO GO LIVE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY?" YOU ARE UNGRATEFULL TO THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN. BUT THAT'S WHAT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS" GETS YOU.
AND QUESS WHAT? I LIVE IN A GAY COMMUNITY, SO IM NOT THE "GAY HATER" YOU THINK I AM...MAYBE I'M GAY, OR BI-SO THAT IS FLAWLESS VICTORY IF SO..BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY-"DON'T ASK-DON'T TELL" HAHA!.
IF I SAW A BUNCH OF MY HEBREW HOMIES DOING THAT, I'D CALL THEM OUT. BUT WHEN I DROP "SCIENCE" ON THEM, AND TELL THEM MY BACKGROUND TRAINING, 85-90% RESPECT THE FACTS THE FIRST TIME, AND UNDERSTAND WHERE I AM COMING FROM.
WE'VE BEEN CALLED "DIRTY JEWS" FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, SO I GUESS MAYBE THATS WHY WE'RE SO INTO BEING HYGENIC, AND A LOT OF "US" ARE DOCTORS..SOMEONE SAID "GET THEM FOR ANTI SEMITISM"- I SAID "IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT".
SHE GOES ON.."I DO NOT KNOW ONE MEMBER WHO GOT CHARGED WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION" UMM, I DID! I WILL HAVE TO SUBPEONA THE DOCUMENT YOU HAD ME SIGN OFF ON ADMITING THE MISTAKE! (OK, I HAVE FRIEND WHO WILL ALSO TESTIFY AND PROVE HE GOT FALSELY CHARGED-AT LEAST ONCE IF NOT TWICE AFTER THE PREVIOUS CLUB CLOSED)
I WILL ADMIT, IN LIGHT OF MY NAME CALLING, THE "COMING OUT OF A HAUNTED HOUSE WITH AN APPLICATION CAUSE I WAS "SO UGLY" WAS A GOOD ONE-ZING!
RULE 4: DRESS CODE-SWIMSUITS, SANDAL, BOOTS ARE REQUIRED"
THE MANAGER SAYS, AND I QUOTE" SUN GLASS WEARING TWEAKER"
I NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THE MEMBERS IN THEIR SPANDEX UNDERWEAR WORKING WORKING OUT, OR THE PEOPLE IN FLIP-FLOPS/SANDALS.
IF YOU EYEBALLED YOUR CLIENTS MORE THAN ME, MAYBE I COULD'VE WRITTEN A POSITIVE BLOG.
RULE #18 "RE RACK ALL THE WEIGHTS"
I ALLWAYS DID, IF YOU HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS, I WILL TRY TO SUBPEONA THE TAPES. I NEVER GRIPED ABOUT THE MEMBERS/ TRAINERS WHO WEREN'T ABLE TO OBLIGE THAT ONE EITHER.
RULE #23 "DO NOT DROP FREE WEIGHTS OR WEIGHT STACKS"
WHEN SOME GYMTARD DOES A CHEST "DUMB-BELL/ FREE WEIGHT" PRESS, AND TOSSES THEM OFF TO THE SIDES, AND IN THOSE CLOSE CONFINES, COMES CLOSE TO CAUSING SOME BODILY HARM, ESCPECIALLY TO MYSELF, I WILL STAND UP FOR MYSELF.
YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU AN EASY TECHNIQUE? MAYBE YOUR ARE LIFTING TOO MUCH WEIGHT "HOLMES"!
A RESPONSE WAS "WE CANNOT MONITOR ALL OF OUR MEMBERS ALL OF THE TIME". TRUE, BUT IF YOU HAVE A CLEAN FACILTY, YOU GET MORE PEOPLE.
IF YOU HAVE CERTIFIED/LICENSED TRAINERS, AND MANAGEMENT WITH A FITNESS BACKGROUND, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR TRAINERS ON THE FLOOR KINDLY ENFORCE THE RULES....BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT THE CUSTOMER.
AMERICAN EXPRESS JUDGED IN MY FAVOR. IT ISN'T ABOUT THE MONEY. IT'S ABOUT MY RIGHT AS A HUMAN BEING, BESIDES PAYING CUSTOMER, TO HAVE THE RULES FOLLOWED.
A FEMALE PROFESSIONAL I AM AQUAINTED WITH TOLD ME "WHAT CAN YOU DO, PEOPLE ARE PIGS"-NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE PIGS. SHE ALSO SAID "YOU SHOULD GO TO ANOTHER GYM, IF IT'S SO BAD" A LOSER ATTITUDE. MAYBE THAT'S WHAT WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY. I THOUGHT THE CUSTOMER "WAS ALLWAYS RIGHT", BUT ASKING FOR JUST A RULE TO BE FOLLOWED, IS TO BE PAINTED AS A CRAZY, A PERSON WITH A PROBLEM.
IN THE SECURITY REPORT, I HAD CAUSED A "DISTURBANCE" BY "THROWING A TOWEL AT A MEMBER". THEY FORGOT TO SAY IT WAS A PAPER TOWEL, AND THROWN AT THE MEMBER'S FEET. RESULT OF FAILURE TO FOLLOW RULE #25 NUMEROUS TIMES.
"HARRASED AND VERBALLY ATTACKED A FEMALE GYM MEMBER" SO WHY WASN'T I ARRESTED? WERE WAS SECURITY? EVEN ON THE MORNING WHEN I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE? NO ARRESTS WERE MADE, SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? (SOUNDS LIKE SLANDER/LIBEL TO ME, MAKING ME SOUND LIKE SOME PSYCHOPATH) "VERBALLY ATTACKED"? PLEASE DEFINE.
IF YOU LIKE THE POSSIBILITY OF CATCHING SOMETHING, OR HAVE A FETISH FOR BODY FLUIDS, KEEP IT OUT OF THE GYM. SOME OF US ARE THERE TO ACHIEVE A GOAL, WHETHER IT'S FOR M.M.A, OR ARMAGEDDON-NOT HAVE TO ENFORCE YOUR ESTABLISHMENT'S RULES. AND NOT TO BE SOMEONE'S MAID.
I AM POSITIVE THERE ARE MANY OF YOU LIKE ME OUT THERE WHO AGREE. I HAVE BEEN AT LA FITNESS FOR A MONTH NOW.
I PRESENTED A BILL OF $300.00 TO THE ON DUTY MANAGER WHO PASSED IT TO HIS SUPERVISOR.
I HAD STATED IT WAS FOR "HAVING TO CLEAN UP AFTER THE TRAINERS AND THEIR CLIENTS". HOWEVER I DID KNOCK OFF $100.00 BECAUSE IT "WASN'T HIS FAULT"
I WAS TELEPHONED BY THE HEAD MANAGER-THAT DAY, WHO HAD "UNDERSTOOD" MY POINT OF VIEW, AND AGREED THE HYGIENE SITUATION NEEDED IMPROVEMENT. ALLTHOUGH I HEAR THIS ALOT, I WILL SAY, AT LEAST HE WAS POLITE, COURTEOUS, AND ASKED ME TO "GET BACK TO HIM IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS" EVEN IF HE IS FULL OF BULL, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
I DONT CALL OUT ANYONE ANYMORE. I WILL GO UP TO THE FREQUENT NOSE PICKER (I DONT GET THAT ONE) AND SAY AT REGULAR LEVEL "DUDE! DONT PICK YOUR NOSE!-GOOD WAY TO GET AN INFECTION!" AND OF COURSE THEY GET EMBARRASSED. THEN THEY STOP PICKING THEIR NOSES.
ANOTHER MEMEBR THANKED ME FOR THE EFFFORTMENTIONED ABOVE.
"FINALLY SOMEONE DID SOMETHING".
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO REPORT VIOLATIONS. THE FLOOR MAINTENANCE DUDE "FRANK THE TANK" WILL ACTUALLY PUT ON REPORT TRAINERS AND MEMBERS WHO DONT FOLLOW THE RULES, AS DOES THE EARLY MORNING MAINTENANCE MAN.
TOWEL USAGE/GYM HYGIENE IS 60%-SOMETIMES 80% MORE THAN THIS SO CALLED "EXECUTIVE CLUB"! A BIG DIFFERENCE SINCE THE FIRST TIME I BLOGGED ABOUT "LA FITNESS"!
BIGGEST PROBLEM THERE SEEMS TO BE RE-PLACING THE WEIGHTS-BUT YOU CAN'T CATCH ANYTHING FROM A BUNCH OF PLATES, (UNLESS YOUR LIFTING FORM IS IMPROPER/SUCKS AND YOU GET A HERNIA)-THAT'S A JOKE FROM A FORMER FITNESS INSTRUCTOR!
IF YOU ARE LIKE ME- SERIOUS ABOUT WORKING OUT, AND ALSO MAYBE CAN'T AFFORD HOSPITAL BILLS FROM POSSIBLE DEADLY INFECTIONS (LIKE A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE-HER UNCLE) AND WANT YOUR RIGHTS HONORED NOT ONLY AS A PAYING CUSTOMER, BUT AS A MEMBER- CONTACT YOUR BOARD OF HEALTH-ANNOY THE LIVING HELL OUT OF THEM FOR ACTION! SAME WITH YOUR MAYOR, CONGRESSMAN/WOMAN, ANY OFFICIAL FROM COUNCILMAN UP TO YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES, AND SENATORS! GO VIRAL! MAKE A STAND.
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT ON THE COMMENTS SECTION OF MY BLOG! TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GYM!
AND TO THINK THIS ALL ABOUT GETTING SOME ONE TO FOLLOW THE RULES, AND JUST WIPE UP AFTER THEMSELVES.
HEAVEN HELP US.
