I "work out" at home, but it seems from these clips floating around here that the current day gyms are akin to gay clubs of days past.
1. "pro" shows up in tights
2. dudes pet him and call him names like "swole cat" , "big daddy", etc.
3. you grunt while another guy "spots you"
4. you take a shower with that guy
very gay.

aren't "gym" and "gay club" the same thing?

apparently. the other day i drove by some gym in the cool part of town, and two gays were standing out there in front of the gym giggling away and touching.

People used to put away weights.

by the looks of today's gym goers, they'd rather shove them up each others asses than put them away.

All I know is judging by a majority of your posts on this board you sure are preoccupied with homosexuals. Sounds like you'd like a taste of the gay lifestyle yourself. Probably why you train at home. If you were to hang out a gym full of gays you might be tempted to join "big daddy" in the steam room.

any trainer who denies the fact that gay men are a HUGE part of their potential income are schmucks/naive

I work out in a gym alone. That's how I prefer it. I don't mingle or really even talk to anyone, just a few nods here and there. I'm very observant, however, and have noticed the following:
1) Those who know what they're doing in teh gym. This can be broken down into categories. People like me who know what they're doing, but are quiet and don't dress flamboyantly (tights, muscle tee, UnderArmour, boots, spaghetti-string tees, etc ::)) Then, you have the loud, obnoxious folks who kinda know what they're doing but look like complete morons with their "attire". These are the lifetime perma-bulker tough guys ::) BTW, nothing better than a good-lookin chick who knows what they're doing in teh gym.
2) Those who don't have a clue as to what they're doing in teh gym. This group makes up about 99% of most gym's mbrshps. 60 yr old men doing stiff leg dl's, rounding their backs, going down too far or the 40 yr old fat woman performing a standing pec-deck-like motion with a pair of dumbbells thinking she's increasing her tit size. These folks are dangerous and annoying. They're bodies are proof that they're clueless.
3)Those who get dresses up, do a little cardio, maybe the ab machine and then mingle. Perhaps, they just like to talk or maybe they're trying to hook up with someone. The gym is like their night club w/o the booze.
These are the 3 basic categories of gym goers in my experiences. Any other input is welcomed ;D

most people go to the gym for attention first. Im building a home gym at the moment and I cant wait for my membership to end. I've trained 5 years at home and 5 in a gym: I just cant take it anymore, too many fucking bufoons and mental cases 24/7 in there. It's cool when you have some pals too, but it's not worth it in the long run in my opinion, people just get stupider by the day it seems.
I used to go to the gym..to TRAIN...not to show off, but looks like it's the main point of it nowadays, you have to choose carefuly when you go there to avoid the retarded masses and not being bothered.
Also building your own custom home gym is like 500 to 1000 dollars with second hand stuff, and you can keep it for your whole life and not pay 500 a year to be harassed most of the time by annoying people who come in the gym with their psychological issues.

i'm as hardcore as the next guy but let's face this fact:
THE GYM IS A MODERN DAY PICK UP SPOT...and if you let your pride in "being a hardcore lifter" (or whatever) get in the way off using it as a place to score some grade A ass than you are a dumb ass/gay

I will note: teh main gym that I work out at is LOADED with fine Brazilian ass...most, of course, don't have a clue as to what they're doing, but, it really does'nt matter. They are welcomed ANYTIME ;)

Huge part? Sounds like you haven't been training long or are just horrible at it, or like dealing with guys exclusively which would explain all your gay tendencies.
Women represent by far the largest percentage of the personal training client base. Doesn't seem like you're too into women though. I've trained for about 4 years and have had at the most 10 gay male clients out of around 7-10 new clients every month.
And I guess it never occurred to you that you can score 'grade A' tail at a gym by TRAINING HOT WOMEN, not GAY GUYS. Jesus dude.
I mean even if you're an idiot like me you still get the the occasional decent looking chick that likes your sense of humor, and since you give them all the attention they want you can take it as far as you want.

i'm not gonna question you because you ,obviously, are doing ,at least, 40 hours of PT a week, right?

i try to keep it under 40 but yes it does end up in that area, I didnt mean to come off like a dickhead, if you are new to it or just have a few clients there's nothing wrong finding your niche in a gym and catering to that crowd whether it be gays, old ladies, teenage pencil-necks, ect. and im not saying i'm an incredibly great trainer either, from my personal experience women are the best to train, they lift light weights, they love the attention, the appreciate the help and occasionally you'll get a smokin hot chick and you can have her do stiff leg deads right in front of you while you analyze her form ;D

dude, let's look at how many pictures of your husband kevin you have on your hard drive and how many pictures of dudes i have on mine.
i have zero. how many do you have of kevin? it's on your "jerk off material" folder on your desktop.
but back on topic.
the last gym i was a member at , the trainers were all skinny fat yet they had tons of customers. what gives?
and for dov:
you forgot the dudes who show up on friday afternoons in their club clothes, don't even change, and do 3 sets of bench and 3 sets of curls and then head out.

haha you did say that you like to look at a big cock on occaision, just pointing out facts
as for skinny fat trainers, i think clients can relate to them more than some Kevin Levrone lookalike ;)

home gyms are compleatly gay....they are usually built by antisocial misanthropes who hate life, hate people, and hate their own bodies...........i love going to the gym, of course there are assholes there but that is part of the fun of it, looking so much better then they do, .....lift hard, maybe trade a war story or two with your boys, if your lucky spot a milf wearing a unitard on the adductor machine..........its a great social outlet, to me, you would have to be crazy to wanna lift at home. :P :P

Another P-Rod Gem.
Lots of touchy subjects brought up here. Gotta go shower and go out for the conveited beerfest at Churchill's but I'll comment on this later.

its true, not to mention that its impractical and a good gym is going to have much better equipment anyway
-
I like going to the gym and have taught myself to ignore the fuckups but the one thing I cannot get over are the bastards that do not wipe off their sweat from the bench, abs, machines, etc. So I have to wipe 2 fucking times. >:(

yeah, its pretty much like that these days...my gym is very gay, in both literal and figurative sense....but u know, there isn't much one can do - this is the way society is heading....

No kidding this twink puts workout in quotes because the only workout is another dudes butt. Where do you think the term "power rod" came from, it wasn't from his home workouts on his bowflex.

THE GYM IS A MODERN DAY PICK UP SPOT...and if you let your pride in "being a hardcore lifter" (or whatever) get in the way off using it as a place to score some grade A ass than you are a dumb ass/gay
Agreed. it's called multi-tasking.
I'm as "hardcore" ::) as they get when it comes to my training, but i don't see what's so difficult about throwing some bass at a fine chicken when you are not in the act of training.
Does it require that much mental energy to concentrate for 40 seconds on your set that you can't think of anything else in between?
It's an act perpetuated by poseurs, or people who are inherently anti-social and use their time at the gym to let everyone know it.
It's funny when you have a 60 second conversation with another person who takes their training serious...you could be right in the middle of laughing about some shit and then, *Ding-Ding* both of your mental alarm clocks go off and you drop the convo without a word and do your next set

exactly... its not uncommon for the biggest and strongest in gyms to have a little chat between sets... even before big lifts...
even the pros do...

Is the gym really the best place to pick up dates?

I'm not much for getting pegged like this either.
Working out at home is convenient tho. No driving, no waiting, rip off protein farts as loud as you want, etc. The main downside is when people see it and ask you if you ever actually use any of it.
throwing some bass at a fine chicken
Admit it, you just made that up.
-
most people use it as a whole social experience, as its either sit in a pub, sit in with the wife/gf... or sayin this is getbig,bf.. or, its training 4 or so times per week... as i keep saying, u only live once for fucks sake
just cos u dont talk to anyone or grunt like a girl doesnt make u hardcore, just means your a anti social weirdo
and if i were single, you bet id be eyeing up all the fanny, and making an effort in gym attire, the holey T-shirts and old shorts would be dropped pronto......

Been training at home since last year. Have a large basement I've turned into a gym/games room. Have a bench set, Smith machine, hack squat and pec dec in there. I was training in a wicked gym with a bunch of hardcore dudes, but the commute was fucking killing me. I have a few gyms close to me but it's packed with fat girls and sleaze balls so I just train at home instead.
-
People used to put away weights.
When was this? :o

Actually what I notice in most gyms lately is most guys there, apparently in a lame attempt to "fit in" have the following:
1. HAIRSTYLE- Must be either crewcut or shaved bald
2. TATTOOS- must have ridiculous tribal ink all over arms, assorted ridiculous designs on back, delts or really hideous lower leg "scumbag look" tats
3. ATTITUDE AND DEMEANOR- Must leave hundreds of pounds on leg press after using, grunt 1 syllable replies to people and use the word Bro a lot. Must flare lats, even if they have none at all times.
4. FACIAL EXPRESSION- Must have a constant absurd, angry "I'm a Cagefighter" look at all times.

do you prefer training at home or in the "public" gym?

Nah..go to public gyms..belong to two, L.A. Fitness and Powerhouse, also where I live at the clubhouse, they have a great gym as well. Although I've been informed if I don't get my head shaved, get some tats and grow a goatee soon, they might cancel my memberships.
