Via iStockphoto \/ @jacimariesmith TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n A woman decided to treat herself after a year of consistent working out by upgrading her gym membership. She couldn\u2019t believe how the front desk workers treated her at the fancy new gym she tried to sign up for.<\/p>\n TikToker Jaci Marie Smith (@jacimariesmith) stands in her kitchen and questions what went wrong in the interaction with the two front desk workers at the unnamed gym.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is like solving a riddle to get a gym membership at this place,\u201d she remarks. \u201cCan\u2019t figure it out online, can\u2019t see a number to call. I\u2019m like, \u2018How do I get an actual membership?’\u201d<\/p>\n She decided to go to the gym in person to try to sign up. As Smith walked in, she saw two young women at the front desk and told them she\u2019d like to sign up for a membership<\/a>.<\/p>\n Was She Able To Sign Up For The Fancy New Gym?<\/p>\n Instead of offering Smith more information on the process, the women stared at her in \u201cdead silence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m at a gym, right? What am I missing?\u201d Smith questions.<\/p>\n The front desk workers told her that no one was available to help sign her up for a membership and started to laugh amongst themselves.<\/p>\n \u201cOh? You don\u2019t have someone at the gym who can give me a gym membership?\u201d Smith continues. She asked the women who she could get in touch with, and they continued to offer vague responses. Eventually, they took Smith\u2019s number and said they\u2019ll have another worker call her back later.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so turned off by that. I\u2019m not going to let that stop me. But at the same timem dare I say that ruined it,\u201d Smith says at the end of the clip.<\/p>\n Do Rude Workers Ruin The Gym Experience?<\/p>\n Smith is one of many gym-goers<\/a> to take to social media to share their awkward experiences with rude front desk workers. It\u2019s not just a high-end gym problem.<\/p>\n On the r\/GymMotivation subreddit<\/a>, one member caught a front desk worker at Planet Fitness pointing and laughing at their profile with another worker after they scanned their card. The experience made them question whether to continue their membership.<\/p>\n \u201cI genuinely want to cancel my member ship now,\u201d they write. \u201cI was going to let this ignorant and rude employee slide, but she makes it so awkward every time I show up by never apologizing and being rude.\u201d<\/p>\n Other gym membership holders discussed their experience with their gym\u2019s staff members on r\/GYM<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the girls at my gym is a mean girl. She\u2019s always giving me distasteful looks and I\u2019m pretty sure she talks about me with some of the other staff,\u201d one wrote. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m paying to get bullied lol.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMost arrogant assholes on the planet if they have to help you in any way aside from scanning your membership id,\u201d another remarked about their gym experience.<\/p>\n What Do Viewers Think She Should Do?<\/p>\n While Smith shared that she still plans to sign up for the fancy gym, despite the initial interaction with the front desk workers, viewers suggested she find another gym<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cTo have a bad experience at a gym while not even being a member yet says a lot about that gym,\u201d one commenter warned.<\/p>\n Another said, \u201cYou are NOT weird. that would piss me off & I would find another gym.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo you\u2019re not gonna join this gym right??? There\u2019s gotta be plenty of other ones to join instead,\u201d a third asked.<\/p>\n Other gym workers reacted to the behavior of the two women.<\/p>\n One said, \u201cI work at a gym and when someone walks in to join I\u2019m like oh my gosh of course let me give you a tour and talk through our membership options!! like that\u2019s my literal job.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNoooo as a studio manager first impression with front desk is make or break,\u201d a second pointed out.<\/p>\n BroBible reached out to Smith via email and Instagram direct message for further comment. We will update the story when she replies.<\/p>\n \t\t\t
