Everything ex-soviet bloc coaches have told me makes me think that the OP is exactly wrong, and that Soviet gyms (at least the National Team and Army ones) where clean, well run, and organized... and these aren't usually guys with a ton of respect for communism.

I didn't mean communists are disrespectful, I meant the gym system has flaws that can be exploited.

The "national team and army ones" anywhere are going to be better, because these are tight cohorts of individuals trained and disciplined.

My gym is full of guidos and spoiled punks, (like entitled me who gets so mad he throws a whiny fit on the internet). The entitlement is what ruins the gym due to how it is run like a communist system. No offence meant to individual communists. I'm sure you dudes act like civilized people in the gym.

Communism is man's exploitation of man. Capitalism is the opposite.

Genius. Who is this?

Also, I go to a naval base gym. Clean and tidy. No curls in the squat rack. Have to wear a shirt though, I hate that.
