F... people at the gym

[saden1]

How about that Mr. Tan guy at the gym. You know, the guy who is tan all year around and you've maybe seen him pale once.

Seriously, that can't be good for your skin.

Yeah that's gross, but I don't care if someone is sweating or not, you should always wipe down the machine. It's common F'in courtesy.

I hate the meathead that wants to tell me a better way to do the exercise that I'm currently in the middle of doing. "Hey man, if you turn your hips you'll get a better burn in your quad". Thanks asshead. If I'm ever interested in looking leather skinned caveman, I'll take your advice.

We have a couple of older fellows who like to talk about whatever it is you're doing...but somehow the conversation always turns into a lengthy discussion of their glory days. Ex: "I used to be able to lift that kind of weight before I tore my ACL in the state finals blah blah blah." THE FUTURE IS NOW OLD MAN!!!

haha...I go to a gym at a University...imagine all those problemsx10. We have guys that scream, grunt, take off their shirts, hog machines for HOURS, and even talk on cell phones in between reps...me and my buddy deal with it by giving them all hilarious names and playing the "dibbs" game. My all time favorites are the guys that wear wool caps in the summer time...WTF?? Does it make you stronger or something?

Yeah what is up with the caps? So weird.

How about people who talk on their cell phone while they're working out? Thats so effing annoying.


Last week this lady was talking on her cell phone while she was on the elyptical machine.....and the bitch was so loud. I really wanted to say something, but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Those problems are why I wait until after 7:30pm to go to the gym. Days I work from home, I'll go either by 10am or after 2, to avoid the morning and lunch rushes.

And while I encourage my buddy, I don't yell it so the entire gym can hear...the grunts actually make me laugh and I lose concentration.

My absolute fave is those who feel the need to talk or text on their phones while trying to work out. Put your goddamn phone down, bust out your rep and get the hell out of the way. If it's that important, you can call back later.

That and the women who wear as little as possible and shimmy their way into an area where all the lifters work out, and do absolutely nothing but get in the way. If I wanted to stare at scantily clad women, I'll either go to Hooters or a strip club. Now if you are barely wearing anything and doing your thing, great. However, if you talking to the damn guy who's using the weights I'm trying to use, you're a nuisance and should be taken out to the parking lot and flogged.

There's this chick that works out at the same gym, and I swear I've never seen a pair of daisy dukes like this in my life.

You talk about distraction.

[Monkeydad]

And no, I don't want to F...people at the gym. That would be gross.

[SmootSmack]

I just use the gym at my apartment complex. It's great because it's free and it's open 24 hours. And being the insomniac that I am I'll go at like 1am and there's no one there.

Actually one time I did go to the gym at 1:15am and sure enough there were two other people there working out!

I have almost started this thread 50 times.

My gym has many of the same problems. One thing that kills me is on cardio days when I want to use an eliptical. Our gym has 15 of them but only 4 of them have the arm motion too. Invariably all four will have people on them while all the other machines don't and the asshats on the machines are not using the effin arm motions. It's like hey tard muffin use the other machine without the arms so someone can use the machine they want.


But the biggest F U to everyone in the whole place is in the locker room. I am not a keep covered up at all times guy but I am so sick and f*cking tired of guys walking around the GD locker room bare ass naked. Brushing their teeth naked. Drying their hair naked. Having 5 minute conversations naked. Weighing themselves naked. Shaving naked. Using the hair dryer to dry the entire body naked. F*CKERS!!!!!!

Put some f*cking clothes on you turd bag! It's funny because the old guys just walk around and don't give a crap but the younger ones walk around like they got 12 inch d*cks. And if you ever see a short guy with long hair it is guaranteed he'll be one of them. It is in the genes or somethin.

Have you considered trying a "straight" gym?
