Note :
Apparently the weld on the cable crossover arm that moves the action up and down has blown .
I've not yet seen it as I've just been informed .
If it has could you all avoid using that side until I'm able to confirm and get a fresh weld on it .
Many thanks ...

Standing calf machine out of use until next week , unfortunately I have to take it apart after it was forced off the base ...
Luckily we have a 45° , Donkey and seated also .

6 New pins , try not to misplace them !
Spares in the 2nd draw down behind the counter ...

6 new pins ordered for machines ...
If you keep them in the machines they're intended for they shouldn't keep going walkabout 🤔

Rant :
February 10th and I've had more complaints this year already than the other 12 combined .

Weights ... Put them back on the trees when finished with , they're not for leaning against walls and in doing so damaging plaster !

Dumbbells ... Re-rack them , I don't want to find random ones rolling around the Gym floor , and I certainly don't want to hear them being launched to the floor creating more complaints and damage !!

Door ... Make sure it is properly closed , some of you are not taking consideration for the Gyms security !!!

Tidy up ... Belts , bottles , lifting straps , toilet paper , chewing gum .
All found on the Gym floor , do you live like this at home or walk into friends homes dropping the contents of your pockets on the floor ?

In general please be courteous , this is the second post I've had to write this year .
The Gym is basically or might as well be none profit , so every time a complaint to me has to be fixed IE wall damage downstairs , it then has to come out of my pocket .
It shows little or no respect to other members and also myself .

Automatic dismissal from the premises will come into effect and a return of keys , if any culprits are found to be abusing our policy .

Keep the Gym tidy and no more heavy dropping of weights , let's all play to the rules .

Many thanks ...

Cable snapped last night and despite weather conditions managed to get a new one fitted , unfortunately it won't go over the bottom wheel as it's probably 6" to short .
It doesn't alter the performance of the machine but I will rectify it once the roads improve ...

First up : Merry Christmas I hope you all had a fantastic day with family and friends ...

Now for the serious post :

Over the last few month's I've noticed a massive decline in the way some of you are treating the Gym , I'm aware it will be a very small number of you , however it's unacceptable !!
This morning alone I put 3 sets of heavy dumbbells back on the rack that were just left rolling about the floor because someone was too lazy to replace them , if you're strong enough to lift them you're strong enough to return them to where they belong .
However it gets worse ! Whoever is doing these heavy drop sets is just launching the dumbbells and allowing them to free fall to the floor , this has now caused considerable damage to the walls of the boxing Gym below and meant I've had a visit from the landlord .
I've an extremely good relationship with Garth , however things like this will put a strain on it and will significantly affect a good business and friend relationship if it continues unsorted .
The Gym runs on an extremely tight budget with little to no profit , so incidents like this will affect my finances seriously and that shows that a small minority have little or no respect for me or other members .

Other members have to train around this mess and potentially could cause themselves injury or put themselves in danger of an accident .

I'm babbling on now but it's only because it frustrates the F**k out of me when myself and most members care so much about the environment in which they choose to train .

If you witness anyone showing little or no respect to the Gym then I'd ask that you either ask them to show more respect , or if you don't feel confident in doing so then at least inform me so that I can resolve issues .

Members who in future show no respect for the environment will have memberships revoked and that saddens me as I genuinely find you all to be decent people on the whole , a small number just don't seem to THINK ...

PLEASE enjoy the rest of your Christmas but let's hit the New year with RESPECT being the key word .
Feel free to share to get the word out .

Merry Christmas Renegades Strength and Fitness members .
Thank you so much for all your loyal support this year , I appreciate every last one of you and wish you everything you desire ... ❤️

Harry McKeon , one of our two Junior members of the year .
I genuinely could gush over how much I respect this young man , he comes in alone and just takes care of business.
Sometimes the Gym is deserted and it's cold and dark but he never lets that stop him .
It's not my place to mention some of the things Harry has had to deal with the previous few years , however his Mum Danielle has addressed them openly as it is such an important subject .
What I will say though is I really really respect and think the world of this young man , he is sincerely going to achieve so much in life .
I'd definitely be proud to bring a lad like Harry up .
Congratulations mate ...

For consistent hard work throughout the calendar year and commitment to what you wish to endeavour ...
Congratulations

Could all Gym users please be courteous with the volume of the music when using the stereo !
particularly between 8pm to 8am .
👌

Please be courteous:

Apparently someone was training at 1am in the morning with the stereo turned up full blast !
Obviously this isn't acceptable as residents live close by .
Members training late are always encouraged to bring headsets or keep the music low .
Please adhere to this and remain courteous to your surroundings ...

Thanks all
