Gym vs. Online

ad

Hi all.
Recently I've changed to a new gym. It's one of the best in town, clean, friendly, decent layout, decent owners etc. Upon striking up conversation with the owner he referred to online purchases as 'getting ripped off' and 'throwing your money away'. Quite big words to be throwing about when you don't have much evidence to support those comments, right?

But it got me thinking about the authenticity of the products people buy on here and the chances of it being fake or chances of the products not arriving. I haven't had any problems yet but it's choosing who to believe. He offered me gear and services, training etc. I know many people who are satisfied with the services he provides and he has a good reputation for being the best gym in town and the go to for gear and gear related assistance. So he's legit.

So why would you try and put it into someone's head that buying off the net is a waste of time and money? If I can get it and it's working (so far, so good) then why should the words of a reputable gym owner affect me? Why would you sell gear online if it isn't fake or massively underdosed?

It's either an excellent sales pitch or he's trying to talk some sense.

All he is saying is why would you go looking for other sources on line and put up with all the associated risk (bunk gear, seized packages) then you have a legit source standing in front of you? If you trust him and his prices are good, then buy from him.

Why would you sell gear online if it isn't fake or massively under dosed?

Oh, I don't know... maybe selling to a few gym rats at the local gym doesn't generate the same cash flow as selling across the country. Maybe the anonymity will help me keep from getting busted if a gym rat I sell to gets busted. I'm sure there are other reasons.

Great points all around, especially asking people at your gym for gear! This guy says he's paranoid about putting information onto the web (or bank) and getting fake gear, but he has no problem meeting face to face with strangers and purchasing gear from them!?! It's a not even a question which one I would choose.

I see this happen a lot at my gym. Bigger guys are buying offline, doubling the prices, and selling to inexperienced guys that don't know jack about acquiring it, let alone using it.

He's trying to make a buck. Or is talking about something he knows very little about. A majority of people who don't have experience with online drug dealing are sketched as fuck about it. They wouldn't ever trust an online supplier cause they don't know.

I think 15 years ago, that guy could have a legitimate argument, and perhaps he's still in the old school of thought. But it's a whole different ball game now.
I wouldn't even consider dabbling with a gym gear slinger these days.

His stuff is probably good, so most labs on eroid, don't you understand how this industry work, this guy own a business wich mean more sales = more money.

Simple. The less people buy online the more chances he has of selling "his gear" which i'm sure he buys them online as well. In other words, he just trying to make money out of you & whoever else he can get money from

The owner probably gets his gear online.He just wants to make money off of you.Ask him what brand he carries.

Bro, the labs on this website have been vetted over and over and over again by our members. The reviews are real. Some of the top labs on this website are HUGE OPERATIONS with MILLIONS invested in production equipment and are run like any major pharmaceutical supply company your would find in the US or abroad.

The products are potent and sterile and pure and safe and dependable.

You are buying, in many cases, online directly from the lab at prices that cannot be matched when you involve middlemen and drug dealers. I'm not going to write a online UGL sales pitch here but OMG please think think think. Buy from the top eroids labs. Order online and pin with confidence.

They don't call me GearHead for no reason.

Good Luck bro,

GearHead

I mean I'm no gullible fool. I don't even like giving my address details to my bank nevermind anything else. I've been quite solidly set on the top sources on here for quite a long time. It's just you like to want to believe those that have quite a considerable amount of respect. I already have a cycle under my belt and plenty of hours of reading and questioning and learning. Feel like I'm going back to basics.

Safe to say, it made me question quite quite a lot of things.

When you go into a place and meet people you admire - maybe a pretty advanced bodybuilder that offers both consulting type services (diets, nutrition, training advice, cycle advice) or the same guy that may provide personal training services at affordable rates where maybe all you want is someone to work with you on your squat and it's all good and then they offer gear - it may feel awkward to say no - but realize they are making a ton of money on that gear and if you say no and they don't treat you right - then you know that they are and you don't know what lab or labs they are using. I can picture that kind of situation . . .

There are labs on this website that pro athletes buy gear from. Think about that.
