Gym staff who have no concept whatsoever of a healthy lifestyle
Fitness Worst, Purley. A gym that is never without at least two greasy fat chavs at reception, for there is surely no better advert for a sports emporium. A gym that tries to get you to divulge your mates' details so they can hassle them to join as well, by offering you the incentive of...free pizza.

Combine this with the tropical rainforest of advertising billboards hung from the ceiling at more or less exactly head height, which has previously resulted in one of them coming loose, striking a customer on the head and almost taking his eye out, and you have the motherlode of fitness for the bleating masses with an anaphylactic allergy to reading small print.

pizza?
At least my (former) gym offered free TVs.
