Title: New years resolution crowd at the gym
Post by: The Keto Kid on January 02, 2023, 02:57:15 PM
So today I get to the gym and to be expected it was super busy with the New Year resolution crowd, but today the fuckery was off the charts, below was just one hilarious thing I witnessed today. Bro got on the treadmill just started sprinting, ripped off his shirt and was just going inšŸ˜„ part of me was happy for the dude for putting in work, but the balls to have to do this in a public gym amazes me. 15 minutes later, management made him put his shirt back on to which he was giving them attitude about it.

LOL. Can relate.

One gym I was a member at had some characters like that. One guy was clearly insane and management used to give him a pass as he'd train at like 10am after the rush and was clearly special needs. Walk around talking to himself and top off used to think he was a hardcore bodybuilder but was just a fat mess. LOL Staring at us and doing poses. Harmless but I refused to spot the knob on his 'sets'. Some ppl in there I trained with used to humour him and help him do a 'set' (usually just half a rep and you'd have to babysit him on a single rep) followed by 5 minutes of walking around like a peacock again.

Never live in Wolverhampton is the moral of that story.

I haven’t been to a commercial gym in about 8 years but the last one I was a member for about 15 years.There was this guy there about my age I saw him every January for 7 years.He would tell me this is the year buddy.He was gone by February every year and after a few years of this I would see him and I would ask ā€œthis the year?ā€  He would laugh and say I hope so but he gave up every time.

HAHAHA. He's kicking himself every January thinking "For fuck's sake that gymbro guy's going to be there again silently judging me for being a weak pathetic piece of shit. I forgot what time I used to go I hope he's not there."

One of my best friends was like that. For years he'd get all pumped up to workout from January to February, then never seen again.

He'd beg to train with me, and it drove me nuts. But i knew him since 6th grade so i let him tag along.

He'd train for like 2 hours doing massive amounts of sets to failure. Never once did he listen to me or follow the workouts i gave him.

Then he would complain about being in pain all the time. He was wearing himself out in a matter of weeks.

It was like he was trying to make up for lost time by training way too much.

Would always get some weird shoulder or knee pain and fuck off for the rest of the year.

He did this for like 10 years.

I still mess with him about it; text him every new year asking if he wants to workout together. ;D

Been in gyms for 44 yrs, never saw it even once. However, our gym owner said a couple of years ago, HS kids starting to go into the turf-room and take off their shirts.
(He's owned the place for 20 yrs, and said "its a new thing, probably seen/copied from IG".
He told  them to put them on, and hung a few signs around. I  guess it never happened again.

People are funny...

I don't see what the problem is with a dude taking off his shrt while running (as long as he is lean) (it makes far more sense to me than running with a shirt on)

My problem is with those who go to the gym to run/walk.  Like.. you couldn't do that ANYWHERE else and for free? When did going to a gym to walk/run become the norm ??? Strange times/world..

What does a butt plug have to do with your gym membership?  ;D  ???

Seriously though, if they are worth anything for sales they will try and lower the price or some shit like that.  Shit like that irritates the fuck out of me.  I cancelled my lifetime membership when they were going to raise the price.  The sales guy called me into the office and said he would lock my old rate in for a year.  Did the opposite for me as I called it a big scam

I like that the place I go to has high(ish) prices (though still only $500.00 for the year).
All the morons go to the $10.00 a month Pizza-Planet. Keeps our place (mostly) retard-free... There's always a few around though..

I fast walk on the treadmill at the gym all the time. I stopped running years ago. It is better than walking in the rain or around a mall with a bunch of other old folks. Also, gym memberships are free for me because I have Medicare Advantage which offers free memberships using the Silver and Fit program. The gyms get paid when only when you show up. I go to several different gyms for a change of scene and a little variety.
