Kia Ora Fitness

Until tonight my Kia Ora workouts have been phenomenal, my buddy and I love the less busy gym and good atmosphere. Tonight my friend and I were doing a form of skull crushers where you allow the weight to rest on the floor and then conduct a skull crusher and then put the weight back to the floor. Due to both of us going heavy on our weight the last inch or two the weight tends to fall back to the ground behind our heads. This creates a sound that is less loud then a deadlift hitting the ground would be. Halfway through our sets we were confronted by a lady, who we later found out would be the owner, who extremely rudely without asking us what we were doing told us "Do not throw my weights, and I know you were throwing them. This is a respectable place and unless you want to buy me a new bar don't throw them." When we tried to explain what we were doing she cut my friend off saying, "well you're going to hurt your shoulders anyways so don't throw my weights." Then proceeded to walk off without a please or thank you. She was so rude it completely killed our motivation to workout and just made us mad and want to leave. I mentioned deadlifts earlier because we asked the front desk and they said people are allowed to deadlift in the gym which would have been much louder. It's unfortunate the owner of all people would treat customers this way.
