I’ve only ever seen 2 women there. And they looked like they were cast members of the WWF. dumbbells to 180lbs. You do have to decide which gang to be a part of when you get there. I always choose the work release guys and tell them I’m doing time just like they are...I don’t like working out in jeans like the mob guys. Plus the gold crucifix dangling from their neck would get in the way of pull-ups.
Tony T from NY:
this is probably the worst gym I have ever seen in my life. muscle-headed *******s everywhere who are yelling absurdities through out the gym (as well as the staff), nobody in the gym knows what a deodorant is, floors are torn up, some weights are so ****ed up that you can't even tell how much it actually weighs, the staff eats right in the gym and stinks up the whole crap-hole of ham sandwich/teriyaki, spontaneous grunting, people throw weights on the floor and yell at the top of their lungs, the bathrooms are atrocious and there is not one time that somebody tells me to let them use the machine. that's right, not ask, but tells me to let them use the machine. nobody in this gym has any class whatsoever and are too busy eye-****ing themselves in the mirror with a protein shake than show respect. That last sentence includes most of the staff.
