Meyer Center

My father in law works at Cox so he took me here so we could shift some serious pounds together. It was back day and we were doing dead lifts. I do dead lifts in APA competitions so I’ve got 505 loaded up on the bar. We’re not the type of dudes who grunt, show off, don’t put their weights up, slam weights, flex in the mirror, wear crazy work out outfits, or go in there to act like we’re on Jersey Shore. We just went in there to mind our own business and hit it hard. I lock out the lift and SET IT DOWN, not dropped it. It’s pretty reasonable that when you put down ¼th of a ton, it’s going to make a sound. Dude goes over to the desk complaining that we’re slamming weights and intimidating him. We get a warning. My father in law goes over to talk with him just to be a nice guy and try to make peace. Then the dude starts talking s**t. I step up to him and we get into it but he eventually backs down. Weak ass middle-​aged dude, shaved legs, in a color coordinated outfit, probably a crossfitter. This gym is for half hearted exercisers, cardio, and weak punks. If you’re serious about lifting, you’ll probably just encounter a bunch of haters and people that will get in your way while your working hard for some gains.

I have only been here a couple of times, since my husbands mother works here and we do not live in town. But this place is beautiful. They have tons of machines, weights, and all other equipment. I love love love the pool. It has amazing lap lanes. This place is just awesome.
