LA Fitness Gym Police: No Deadlifts
Some bros were doing heavy deadlifts in the LA Fitness Gym, but unfortunately, it’s not allowed to drop the weights in LA Fitness. Some were terminated from the gym for deadlifting and dropping the weights repeatedly.
Check out the following videos:
That has to be the last time you lift that:
“In September 2014, an LA Fitness sales employee got aggressive with me and called me a ‘dumb ass mother fxxxr’. When documenting this to corporate, they terminated me for deadlifting. LA Fitness endorses this kind of language directed towards members…”

There will be no deadlifting in my club:

La Fitness Manager, Cursing at Member
We didn’t know that gym manager can actually curse at the members… Listen carefully (3:25, 3:40, 5:30, 6:15.) what she says at the end about bodybuilding.

Jst like plante fitness. Lol
I will say that at my gym dropping “dumb bells” is a BAD thing, They are old style, with multiple plates.
Foster, The guy did NOT Drop the weights!
There’s no need to drop the weights like that tho why do so much weight if you can’t control it on the way down
Mitch , it seems as if you have pussyfied like the rest of the pansy a** Justin Bieber crowd !! It’s sad that you have succumbed to the pussification of the male species ??? sorry Charlie but real M-E-N grunt and make noise with the iron in the GYM . Sad that bodybuilding has been vilified over the last 25 years
Lmao for starters pigs grunt not men but correct me if I’m wrong controlling the weight isn’t about being a pussy it’s about using correct form I’m sorry I’m not an egotistical retard such as yourself
Actually as Ken as we used to say in Special Operations “suffer in silence”. Bodybuilding isn’t being vilified, being an attention whore is.
Ken Chirillo it seems as though you have been stupefied by the rest of the Bradley castlebury fags who lift weights and annoy the shit out of people…REAL MEN, are able to lower that weight without making noise, so shut the fuck up stop posting because you’re clearly just as retarded as that guy and if you want to slam weights, go to a power lifting gym…oh wait, you won’t do that because you’ll be laughed out
I understand what your saying, but I work out by myself and go quite heavy and a lot of times go to failure. Sometimes it’s unrealistic to ease a set of dumbells to the floor from a flat bench position. Then again I work out in dungeon full of powerlifters and bodybuilders so no one cares. The issue is just find I gym where you and your lifting style fits in.
Mitchell Morrisby, I watched the video. He did not slam down the weights. He did it proper.
Jim Walsh yeh fair enough I agree with that
Ronald I never said his deadlift was wrong I just don’t agree with slamming weights onto the floor when the floor isn’t suitable as him said go to a gym that is suitable my gym has a floor especially for that
Mitchell, Let me repeat: He was not “SLAMMING WEIGHTS”. I hate guys who do that. If he did it wrong, I’d be the first to back you. But he did it right.
Problem is this: Not every area has a “real” Gym. Some guys live in Apts and can’t work out there because the neighbors would complain. Today, There are very few GYMS. Most of these places are just “fitness” oriented towards the Average ( that’s code for fat) man and woman. Maybe it’s different in New South Wales. But in the States (particularly California). finding an Old School Gym is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Stupid ass gym! Don’t waste time at places like that, their made for people that get OFFENDED! It’s a gym, if the floor can’t handle the banging don’t supply the weights! What a waste of time to go to these shit holes. Golds, some 24 hour, muscle beach, STrength training, walk out and go to a real gym slam the weights if you need to and don’t worry about OFFENDED twits. BEASTMODE or OFF mode!
They might want to consider kicking out the twits that don’t put away their weights, play on their phones, don’t wipe the sweat off benchs, tie up a piece of equipment with their 4 other friends that they are supposedly working out with. God forbid we allow the people that take their workouts seriously, display old school gym etiquette, and are there to train hard and try to better themselves to stay in the gym. Thank goodness there are not any LA Fitness and Planet Fitness in my area!
Well there’s a difference between deadlifting and being an ass like this guy…there’s no reason to life that esp if you can’t put it down
Patches O’Houlihan he was not being an ass. He was asking questions about what the issue was. I have worked in this industry for over 20 years and managers get an ego. Be professional and you will be respected.
Shawn Huber Just maybe Patches can’t dead lift with the big boys…….just saying ?️
Patches , why you hatin ? Are you that insecure with yourself just because YOU can’t Lift that heavy ? You are a perfect example of a pussyfied male ? wrong again patch ole buddy !! Go YouTube guys like Ronnie Coleman EIGHT time mr O , or maybe even Eddie Hall and then ask yourself why those guys don’t set the weights down like a carton of eggs ??????.
Ps ,,,, betcha those guys don’t train at planet Fa**ot either ?
Yup what that ???said.
I like how it is in Kuwait. Men Gyms. Women Gyms. Don’t allow the sexes to workout in the same place. Most women are passive. Most men Aggressive. Doesn’t mix.
“You cant lift that”
*Walks away in heels*
What do heels have to do with deadlifts? I can’t believe how stupid you are.
Please go deadlift in heels.
Put down the heels, chucklefuck, I have the results for you right here.
https://youtu.be/99o1WWIfymI
It’s called the pussification on the male species ! The Feminazis woman’s lib type have attempted to destroy a REAL MAN .
You’re a fucking idiot
Our whole society is drastically becoming de-emasculated and then you have cocksuckers like patches here and all feminists and fags supporting it! Man up, lift heavy and when the time comes, stack bodies!!
No worries Patches ,, There’s PLENTY of MEN like Thomas and myself left to make sure the earth gets re populated with REAL MEN ? the END of the PU**Y generation is here !!
No big deal. I would just cancel my gym membership after that and go elsewhere
Cause it looks like you’re anywhere near that weight lol
Did I say I was anywhere near that weight?
The guy didn’t even drop the weights to make noise and yet still gets told off by a non lifter
Gyms are becoming about feelings not results… they rather you felt you received a good workout, true workouts even body workouts there would be noise and movement within the floors
But than again our society is about feelings, so perhaps they are correct.
Not correct but seriously lost !
Its all about being p c. I workout in my gym. The broken helm bar and gym. Aka the garage.
I feel like everyone makes fun of this but I’m reality it’s all about business. People pay a higher price to have rules that say do not drop weights. They aren’t serious bb or strongmen, they are regular ppl going 2 days a week to attempt to do something but achieve nothing. Gyms don’t want ppl dropping weights bc for one it’s runs equipment (moreso fat guys just throwing dumbbells instead of using your knee) and secondly, they make less money with bb! Bbs are in there using all the equipment 6-7 days per week for 2 hours each day, yet paying the same price as the average Joe that goes max 2 hrs per week. If it’s the rules it’s the rules, stop thinking it’s cool to ego lift at the wrong place. I just wish more gyms were open to PL, dropping weights appropriately, and using chalk and were upfront about it.
No weights in these videos were being dropped. Now Crossfit drops some weights and they can with bumper plates.
This ‘casual workout’ culture is getting out of control. How does one even stay motivated without the sounds of heavy weights dropping and grunting to break up that God Forsaken Brittany Spears music blasting in background?!?!
Thank you so true!
The rude manager should be made to work at a real bodybuilder gym..bet she wouldn’t approach not 1 lifter with Even half that attitude!
I would pay money to see those managers train at one of the sweat box gyms here on the south side of Chicago ?
If you pay to use someone’s equipment you also have to abide by their rules. If you don’t like their rules find somewhere else to lift.
Uggh. Another guy who does not lift heavy.
Fuck that gym can’t do deadlifts stupidest thing I ever heard you go to the gym to work out get fit stronger noise it’s gonna happen no matter what I didn’t know LA fitnest was for pussies
We are gonna open a gym but you can’t do gym things. How dare you!
YOU SIGNED THE CONTRACT (SORRY ABOUT THE DEMON POSSESSED MANAGER…POSSIBLE SHE GOT THE BLOODY MARY WEEK) 😀 😀 😀
Lol I got told in my gym in Port Hedland that I had to leave because I had bare feet I said well it’s good enough for Arnold and the chick didn’t know what to say then quoted me some OHS bullshit so I said if I drop 50kg on my foot and you drop 50kg on your sneaker who gets hurt the most lol same answer didn’t have a clue I actually enjoy training bare footed and am clean screw the Gym police at life and soul port hedland http://lifeandsoul.com.au/
Am I the only one who would of lost my shit and just slapped the living fuck out of them till police pick me up?
Give out some free donuts and coupon for Popeyes’ even better
Why the hell is the idiot wearing high heels at a gym………
And I though I was the only one that caught that ?
I miss old school gyms. Mr America’s gym in Farmingdale in the 80s was that.
Lol fuck these places dont open a gym or “club” as these pussy ass bitches call it if u dont want people to actually work out
Didn’t even watch. Didn’t want to have the video trigger the fuk outta me.
The fck how you suppose to deadlift??
SHHHH…. NO CUSSING IN THE GYM EITHER…. !!!!
BY THE WAY: NEGATIVE REPS ON DEADLIFTS ARE BETTER FOR YOUR LUMBAGO THAN YOUR SLAMMING THEM DOWN LIKE NEWTON’S LAW REQUIRE !!!
Screw that place! Find a real gym! Apparently that’s a place for cardio.
Meanwhile. The kids have weights spread wall to wall. Never clean their weights off the bars. Leave garbage everywhere. Nasty ass sweat and they never clean up. Preworkout powder all over the change room – literally heaps of it spilled all over.
Why the fuck would you go to LA Fitness in the first place to lift big weights it’s a country club not a place to lift weights
Only thing I see wrong is maybe he should have pads on the floor, other than that a good clean 495lb deadlift. Ronald Dean and Tim McCausland said it all as this kid should get a full refund as NO DEADLIFTS ALLOWED….Same reason why I left
Good kid yet 3 punks have 15,20,25 30 lbs dumbbells 50 feet away from the rack doing curls and don’t put them back…..WTF????
Bunch of wankers, right there
La fitness is the biggest joke ever lol dealt with this firsthand for same thing. Headoffice in California called. After arguing 2 hrs their tone started to change just like that woman’s……… pfttttt……………. think they’re such hotshit…… Take your preshift and midshift meetings and stick the phone you make the call on up your asses….. #worldgymforlife
ATTENTION SERIOUS LIFTERS. YOU ARE NOTAT A GYM. YOU ARE AT A FITNESS CENTER. SINCE YOU ARE A SERIOUS LIFTER, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO JOIN A SERIOUS GYM. And yes, there are not many left. I miss the golden days when bodybuilders and serious lifters were the majority. Today they are the minority.
They’re not like this every LA Fitness location. It depends on the management. If you actually watch the video, he doesn’t even drop the weight. The manager was a stupid power hungry bitch with nothing better to do than fuck with guy while he deadlifted. He was nicer than most gym bros would have been to her. Personally, I would taken a few plates off and started doing power cleans. I would have shown her what dropping the weights really looked and sounded like before cussing her out and cancelling my membership.
This dude did nothing wrong. I could see if he let the weights slam on the floor but he was in full control…. stupid cow needs to stop hating
They dead lift and drop weights all the time at the LA Fitness gyms I go to.. Only canceled my membership the other day because I moved and Anytime Fitness is the only gym close to me now..
Gotta join a gym that lets you slam shit. Lol
2014! Maybe lets work on something a litttttle more modern, no?
Also if you’re not even going to try with your click bait from the archives, could you maybe pretend you’re trying with the writing? My 8 year old could write a more complete paragraph than that
“Some bros were doing heavy deadlifts in the LA Fitness Gym, but unfortunately, it’s not allowed to drop the weights in LA Fitness. Some were terminated from the gym for deadlifting and dropping the weights repeatedly.”
LA ‘fitness’. Lol
why join such lame ass gym….join an old style gym where anything goes and you can lift your heart out
Depending where you live, good luck with that. Now that Gold’s Gym became EOS “fitness center” the closest Hardcore gym to me is 2 hours away.
In India we have such problems only in corporate gyms where rich guys and celebs go and there no one does deadlifts …in small gyms like mine they have mats in place so deadlift is not a problem
Sachin, You are a lucky man.
What wrong with that deadlift???
This is not “dropping weights”. I worked out hard at LA Fitness for 3 years and had no trouble. These are isolated incidents.
They are going to start handing out pacifiers and participation ribbons next month
What a crappy gym, most independent free-weights gyms are better than these commercial gyms. The deadlift is a core exercise just like the squat, i am sure some of the more heavy users shake the floor whilst running on the treadmill more than this deadlift especially if they do elevation settings, “thud, thud, trippppp.”
Thats not a gym. Thsts a fitness center. Huge difference.
Found a easy way to get oit of my gym membership.
first off. if you have a squat rack you need rubber mats on the floors already. Second, if you have any free weights including dumbbells over 80lbs you should have rubber mats on the floors. Third, very important, if you patrons are using weights like these guys do. Learn from it and put the f’n mats under these equipments.
And make sure the people who run the gym look like they belong there. That amazon woman with the witchy poo shoes and heels, is probably doing more damage to the floor than the weights are.
I HATE WHEN 500 LBS DEADLIFTS SLAM THE FLOOR ON AND ON . . . .
Drop that weight on the motherfucking bitch
IN THAT CASE, GO TO A POWER-LIFTERS-BUNKER !!!
I hope that manager got fired because you can’t talk to customers like that he wasn’t being rude to her
planet fitness rules lol fuck la fitness
Lie. The LA Fitness here has a platform and the power lifting rack too. Oh yeah bumper plates too.
This is why I train at home or at the dirty old school gym. Fuck you’re feelins!

Looks like the manager needs to start working out to know what it’s about.
If that b-itch doesn’t want bodybuilders, why own a gym?
Aaron Mossgrove
Wow I’m all against the big grunting and people just dropping weights but that was a good deadlift. There was a guy making more noise at my Gym the other day benching 40 kg
Find yourself another gym, life is to short to worry about stupid people like that.
Let’s see if all the people that bodybuild leave her club where she’s going to get money and an income from. No members equals no membership fees.
I’ve been lifting for a few years and I honestly don’t understand the need to slam weights in the ground. Even when you’re doing deadlifts. I really don’t. Just go lighter and control those weights better. You’ll even get a better workout!
Uggh. Tell that to Dorian Yates.
Ronald Candelaria funny you should mention DY because no one had better control on his weights than exactly Dorian Yates. I’ve seen many interviews with the man and it wasn’t about lifting heavy, it was about lifting to muscular exhaustion every set. You picked the wrong example. mate.
Ouch. Get a platform. Then. Management is fucking stupid
ass holes i wouldn’t workout there anyway bunch of pussys do know how to lift
You not allow to sweet. ..hey not sweet or you be out
Im sure you wouldve told ronnie colman to stop dropping his weight and told dorian to shut his mouth when he trains as his an animal and makes somr realy loud noise stop whining and let him train
What happened here and the lack of gym edicts is why canceled my membership at 24, and started building my own gym. Now I don’t have to worry about re-racking weights before I use the area and don’t need to wipe down my equipment before use, because I clean up when finished.
Did the math and I am saving time and money.
Ok Michael, We get it. You are Rich.
Some of us do not own a garage.
Lol
Don’t need a garage, just about 200 sqft. Any case I wouldn’t have weights or anything that can accidentally damage my scooter.
And your memberships cost more than owning.
Something like this is easy to make rm.

what kind of ‘gym’ is this? .. just dont go there, & tell others not to go there, go to better gyms, or train at home, let them see their memberships drop. People moan about P.F & still go there. stop feeding it!
Smh I hate gyms like that. Its a gym to lift weights you morons, he’s not even dropping the weight hard, wtf!!!
places like LA Fitness and Planet fitness are for those weak minded people who LOVE political correctness, and ALWAYS get their feelings hurt, and just want to be able to tell their friends they go to the gym!!!
Agreed!
i was working out at this one place, and someone did NOT wipe the equipment…didnt think anything of it at the time, but the next morning, I woke up with what looked like chicken pox, poison ivy, and some sort of hideous virus ALL OVER the right side of my face for 3 weeks!!!
#swhoapatrol could never train at La Fitness
#Empowerfitnesselko
Don’t give patronage to any of these corporate franchise businesses. Join a local independent gym that accommodates real weightlifting.
What a fucking stupid bitch
LAFitness Being made to look like fools again lol. Attended one for 3 years – their staff was some of the most unprofessional people I have even encountered. Thank goodness I moved to a state that had 24 hour Fitness and LifeTime. They aren’t perfect but the managers dont come out and cuss your out for dropping the weights too hard lol. Hell they walk around and encourage people to push themselves. In my current Lifetime Fitness we have some 10+ squat/deadlift racks, each with its own platform and bouncy pads so you can just drop it when you need to.
That is why I like old school gyms, weights and cement! Planet Fitness is even a bigger joke!!
I love how she has a shitty and condescending look on her face
The weak have inherited the earth.
Definitely NOT a gym I’d EVER want to go for. How can one ever get decent results in a gym where no noise is allowed?! Wow… just WOW
Dude was an idiot. I’d have thrown his punk ass out also.
Haha fucking soo called “gym”fuck that shit
Fucken ludicrous
Try putting pads down on the floor you dip.
Also I’ve gone to LA essentially every day for the last 3 years and have never seen anything like this.
