Gym Problem am I wrong??

[dwayno]

The owner is my trainer---well not anymore---big MIKE V

Went to Porter's Neck for a change today and was NOT TREATED WELL THERE.
I went in, checked in and Harry Griffen asked if he could get my
photo...seeing that is 9am in the morn and a bunch of people at the desk
and I have an appoinmnet @ 11am I said I couldnt wait. I proceeded to
tell him I was an ex-employee AND have been a paying member for over 2
years and whoever I signed up with should of been responsible for my pic
in the system (I signed up with JWR4 and it was over a year and a half
ago) Why am I being taxed NOW, I have been to Porter;s Neck before??
Every employee that was let go when I did got a $20/MONTH membership, I
didnt---I pay FULL PRICE (not a prob tho) ---- also why am I the one who
has to be treated like shit??? Why whould Mr Griffen feel the need to
APOLOGIZE (he walked from back behind the counter to tell me he didnt
mean to be like that, I told him he should not of rolled his eyes at me,
THAT IS UNCALLED FOR) I did remind him I sat through a CUSTOMER SERVICE
REP seminar at the HOLIDAY INN so I know how front desk is supposed to
carry themselves???? Also at Racine I NEVER get the mandatory "hi" and
"bye", I dont care but if you chose to let me be, then do so, dont have
Drew Dalton or those beyond fitness people asking me if I want to work
for them, I PAY TO WORKOUT---ITS MY TIME. I DO PAY FEES EVERY
MONTH<NEVER LATE FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW------Why am I getting in trouble??
WHy are my workouts interupted?? then I'm apologized to for something
JWR4 was supposed to do when he signed me up??? JWR4 took the commission
from the sale and did not get my pic, its on him now, not me---by the
way HE MUST MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME TO DO SO CAUSE I HAD TO WITH HIM
WHEN I WANTED TO EVEN TALK AFTER I WAS LET GO-----------look if he's mad
cause I nailed his girl GET OVER IT, I have had enough of this----I JUST
WANT TO TRAIN

Just wanted to let you know I have had enough, I go to O2 fitness and am
treated a WHOLE lot diferent there and I dont know why. This is 2
seperate golds gym where I am being signaled out for something I didnt
do

I dont expect you to do anything cause I know you put your employees
where they need to be but I really cant put up with this anymore....

owner says this:

you went off in this email buddy.
I am not going to respond this crap. I am not even sure about some of
the stuff you are referring to, Drew/Beyond fitness asking you to work
for them??? What is that about with me?? If you don't like the gym and
all I have done for you, hit the road buddy. If you want to talk to me
civilized, then let me know when.

well I am 5 weeks out from States and I need some help if anyone is in NC give me a shout...I need help with my last few weeks now since my trained donent like me anymore

---anyway i am a 23yr kid, I just wanted him to know how I felt

 

[dwayno]

final response to him:

you have done alot for me and I apreciate it....I always told you that and I was alwyas straight up with you...I thought I could just talk to you like friend and maybe offer me what I could do....I never asked you to address anything directly to ANY employee, I simply tried to state my side and maybe talk to you about it when we met up like a friendly conversation to resolve things


sorry I came across uncivilized

I guess I'll just "hit the road" like you said

Thanks for all your help through everything

No big deal brother. Alot of gyms suck nowadays. (Besides BigHeinz's ) Anyway, role it off because your not going to change the way they do business. I do realize you got the shaft when it comes to price however and that trully sucks. You earned it. Better luck next time brother.

 

[dwayno]

thanks bro...I just thought he would be more understanding, its his business and all but damn why talk that way to me?? I am 23 and been fired by his GM 2x's from front desk to training because I nailed his girl, WTF?? I guess I got the shaft tho but as long as some of you see my point, thats all that matters


Mike Valentino was a really nice guy but now...........

 

[Jrflex10er]

Tell him to fuck off and put on so much mass you'll make him piss his pants when he sees you....Once a asshole always a asshole....either that or beat the living fuck out of him....

 

[Kaiser]

because I nailed his girl, WTF??

You beat him already, you just don't realize it yet.

 

[dwayno]

i nailed the general managers girl.....they guy writing to me in MIKE VALENTINO who won nationals 4 times...I always have been kool with him and I wrote him as a friend and then he says "hit the road", WTF??? I am a 23 year old national level competitior, he helped me alot and I always thanked him. I always had respect for him, I thought he would understand and just say "get up with me when we do the bf% and we'll talk"......guess not, but I have been nailing all the bitches in WIL the old fuckers cant----even tho I drive a piece a shit and you got a hummer I STILL GET THE TIGHT SHIT-----------------she was givin me head when you called and asked her to go to Dallas homie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jrflex10er]

Who the hell cares what he won....Phil was on the pro stage....and he's cheap for what he does for you...get ahold of phil...You don't need this asshole.....there is always someone else...

 

[Kaiser]

Not sure I understand where you are coming from here?..

 

[BigBoyJ]

Now, now. Remember, there is a no flame policy here. He lifts weights and he should be treated with the same respect you would want for yourself. Isn't that what you tried to tell us all earlier?

 

[dwayno]

Not sure I understand where you are coming from here?..

OK, I and alot of others have no idea who these people are you are naming. I just know that people disrespected you at the gym. You are kind of cryptic when you go off in a tangent. Anyway, f-em... move on. No big deal brother. You already beat him. You weren't going to make a career out of the place anyway.

BIG DEAL You are a big dude, and you pay your dues, you probally unintentionally scare off clients, and You dont buy protein shakes, massages, or any other gym materials, Contray to popular belief, gyms make majority of their money on upsells, Protein bars, shakes, personal training, massage, group exercise etc.

WHy are my workouts interupted?? then I'm apologized to for something

that being so why is a Gold employee appraoching me asking me to work for a seperate company contracted out of town for personal training---to strut around in some gay shirt so they can say I work for them--get $4/hr??? I have good income as a bouncer/entertainer and I am a polite guy, people know me cause I work downtown---this thing was misinterpreted BUT if he is supposed to be a MENTOR why not say LETS TALK ABOUT THIS---why HIT THE ROUND---why is $$$ involved (dont buy a $6 protein shake when I go to DPS for something else...plus staff is mean grillin me so that makes me what to buy something form them)??? All I said was I was being constantly mistreated---nothing on the grounds of your gym sucks or any or that---I do get treated different there and others notice too--that is wrong cause I truely am a cool guy

ASK JJINSANE1 about the other GOLDS and FAT MATT!!!!!!!!

 

[dwayno]

Are you doing the april 8th show in highpoint?
