Rant: My new gym is a loud fricking "CLUB"! and other bad crap!

[Tom]

hey everyone! okay, so i've joined this new gym which is cheap only 15.00 a month and only a mile away from my house, it's very new and pretty darn big, but what sucks is ...

why do people act like a gym is the fricking nightclub or bar?!

i mean i know it's just exercising and were not curing cancer or promoting world peace, but jeez!

i go around the same time every day and there is always the same 8 guys who are there before i get there and still there after i leave and i swear all they do is monopolize the various machines, yap, yap, yap and yap some more loudly i might add to each other and across the room, and never stop talking! ever! ever! their the type of guys who do 30 sets of chest exercises with bad form, there for 3 hours and think they have done a "real"workout! and then go home and eat shit and drink shit!

hell, last monday the two women that hang out with them and "work out" with them, actually brought in cookies! and yes, each guy took one cookie and then proceeded to eat them in the workout area! how fricking rude and stupid can you get! besides the fact your not supposed to be eating in a fricking gym area as it is! and cookies!

i feel bad for the trainers there who want to go over all the equipment with their new clients and sit down with them and they have to listen and talk over all this constant yapping from these people!

i know, i know i need to go at a differerent time or at least buy an ipod so i can totally tune out these people! it just amazes me how people can be so damn self absorbed and dont' realize this is NOT THE CLUB PEOPLE!

so imagine me trying to concentrate on doing for instance heavy shoulder dumbbell presses and being surrounded by all these people just talking nonstop and crap!

hell, i went into the showers afterwards and then i get dressed and then their in the locker rooms still talking loudly! talk about bug the shit out of people!

2)another thing that is irritating at my new gym: the shower stalls! why in the hell can't men take a fricking shower correctly? these brand new shower stalls (like 3 small rooms each with a closed glass door) always have water all over the floor, even though there is a shower curtain to close and the floor is raised up above near the drain so water technically should be draining into the drain and not getting over the place. and yet, every time i go to take a shower, there is water literally floating on the floor 6 feet away from the actual shower/shower head? what the hell, are people that damn stupid they don't know to use the shower curtain? do they like getting out of the shower and walking in the water on the floor of the previous showerer?! it's fricking gross!

hell, a few days ago, i find 2 rolled up wet facecloths left in the shower stall? who in the hell does this animals?!! and yesterday 2 used band aids on the fricking shower stall floor!


sorry to go on and on, but i had to get this off my chest.

Estrogen, more like.

[spinnis]

how about you focus on your own fucking training?

[CalvinH]

I-pod,and some real tough guy sayings like "Excuse me how many sets do you have left" or "Do you mind if I work in".
it works wonders for me.

I'm not reading that wall of gibberish.

naw........I just give em the prison yard stare and the 15sec rule works wonders


if you leave the machine and dont return to or talk for more than 15sec its mine
*exceptions to this include
-standing by or resting
-if you are female
-if you are rockd up or strong as a beast
-if you blaze/cool ass black dude

other than that get the fck out the kitchen

[Kwon]

Well Tom, you're not there to cure cancer...

Listen to your Mp3-player/Ipod and focus on your workout.

[Tapeworm]

I'm not reading that wall of gibberish.  

The guys in the gym keep talking to each other over Tommy's head and they never involve him, no one offered him a cookie when there were plenty to go around, and someone left a wet hand towel in the shower area and he thought it was icky.

[El Diablo Blanco]

YOU LACK FOCUS AND DISCIPLINE.  YOU ARE WEAK MINDED.  You need to drown that shit out and build a mind muscle connection.  If people eating cookies annoys you while working out then you should not be working out, you are wasting your time by simply moving weight without having any focus.  You are in a public place, not your house so you have no right to tell anyone how they should workout, eat or act.  If you don't like the showers, don't use them, if the gym is too loud don't go there.  Stop worrying about what you can't control and worry about what you can control.

[emn1964]

listen up "Tom"--stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and get your workout done.  if you spent a little time lifting instead of gawking around checking out other dudes you might not be the 140 pound twink that you now are.

[Tapeworm]

Cut some slack.  It's hard when everyone ignores your best mean mug.

Haha
what I mean is that people get caught up in what goes on around them.I work out fast but if you walked up and asked to work in I would say no problem.and I think if you saw me and realized I knew what I was doing in the gym and that I'm in decent shape you would say the same.

Trying grunting in your gym - you will be out of there in 2 minutes flat from the complaints.   You should know that cookies and gossip are an essential part of the $15 gym experience.  This is where people meet, people check each other out, people go out, people get married.  The gym is basically the hangout joint for many.

Because Ron the gyms make no money with people that have a serious approach in working out / loosing weight / or just fun using the equipment.
They need and want gym tourists so they can keep the number of staff to a ninimum and so forth.
So of course they are trying to discurage bodybuilders to join, the whole aspect of woman complaining that they are being looked at is just pure bullshit.
Oh yeah so you're wearing this super tight outfit to do lunges because you want me to look at your shoes?
Its bollox...

[Tom]

damn, that's alot of responses in short time! your right, i should just get an 1)ipod 2) go at a different time 3)think about joining another more "hardcore" gym.

i do think it's funny though that most of you comment that i should be more focused and i'm too worried about other people and so on and so on. unless your deaf how in the hell could you not HEAR this loud never ending talking shit literally going on a few feet away from you, no matter how FOCUSED YOU ARE! and i would have to be blind as well, to not notice a group of 8 men and 2 women walking around me and in front of me and behind me non stop while continuing their insipid talk.

like every damn one of you on this site wouldn't be bothered or annoyed with this shit! i think that's called being either blind or hypocritical.

it's like when everyone says that cellphones shouldn't be used when driving and everyone drives like shit using a cellphone while their driving and they should be against the law, EXCEPT OF COURSE when you drive and use your cellphonethen it's alright, because your the only one in the world who DOES know how to drive and talk at the same time.
