My university gym manager needs to step down. Here's some of her recently implemented rules:

1) clips on all barbells, no matter the weight. Some of the bigger guys have problems with this one, mainly just for benching heavy since if they don't have a spot, they'd prefer not to die.

2) no photos of anything at all. She's called campus police numerous times to remove people who have taken any sort of photo of anything at all. She has suspended gym memberships for life for photos.

3) no phones. If she sees a phone she can and has called campus police to have people removed from the gym.

4) no dropping weights.

5) no grunting.

6) she's removing all metal plates, replacing them all with rubber hexagon plates that suck when deadlifting.

7) she removed all old school machines that were there before she was in power.

8) no stringers/Y-backs. She called campus police to remove my friend from the gym yesterday because he was wearing a stringer, but they turn a blind eye to smaller individuals, gym workers, or friends of gym workers with Y-backs.

9) She is trigger happy with calling campus police to deal with any minor incident that she doesn't want to deal with herself.

10) No short shorts for guys. Campus police has been called to remove people wearing them.

11) Shoes have to be worn at all times.

12) Removing chalk soon.

13) I feel like she discriminates against bigger guys who lift a lot of weight, because I haven't seen smaller guys or any females being removed from the gym, ever.

14) I've known people who were sexually harassed in the gym by guys, campus police told them to basically fuck off, but they're more than happy to remove people who take photos or wear stringers.

Edit: should also mention that gym memberships are 'covered' in our tuition, but you can't opt out of it. This means it's a mandatory payment for a membership to a place with all these rules. It also means everyone that goes to this school has access, which is both good and bad, but I see it as pretty bad since we've had 220 people in the gym at one point at the start of the year. Im lucky cause the manager of my uni gym is a power lifter so she's pretty cool with most of this minus pics and vids
