Yeah, there are some crowd issues from Monday-Wednesday from around 4:30-7:30. At my location, any time outside of those peak hours is as good as gold. A lot of them in my area have made the 24-hour switch which helps as well.
I still have issues with the lack of free weight equipment and weekend hours. I really prefer free-weight bench press and squat racks but my gym has none and the place closes at 9 pm on Fridays and 7pm Saturdays and Sundays which blows.
Grunting and dropping weights are not really issues for me. I rarely ever do either; but at the same time I recognize the fact that I don't lift as hard as some others. I think it's stupid to outlaw that kind of shit. It's a gym. If people feel intimidated by others working out then they're just big, fat pussies and need to toughen up anyway.
