I'm a meathead!


Love this!  Most “normal” people wouldn’t understand…

The loud gym rats whose groans are scaring away customers from neighboring businesses were slapped with two noise violations recently, police said yesterday.

Long Beach officials were called to CrossFit King of the Beach on April 3 and last Friday and issued $100 violations because the meatheads broke noise laws when they slammed down weights and grunted.

“We’ve gotten a lot of complaints,’’ said police Sgt. Eric Cregeen.

Yesterday, The Post reported that a neighboring barbershop owner and a personal-finance guru had filed a lawsuit against the gym’s owners, saying customers have literally run out of their businesses because of the noise.

“You’re discussing a million-dollar portfolio and hearing, ‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’ at all hours of the day,” said financial-services adviser Joseph Hamlet, one of the plaintiffs.

But the gym’s patrons defended themselves yesterday — and said the plaintiffs are exaggerating.

“I wouldn’t call us meatheads,” said patron Heather Tricola, 41, “When we do drop the weights, it’s not intentional,’’ but simply a matter of exhaustion, she said.
