Either they are standing around doing concentration curls /pulls for an hour or they load up the F'in bar and scream out as they do the 6inch bench press or the 4 inch incline. Then to top it off they drop the weights from their highest point.

I live 10 minutes form metroflex but because of child care I am forced to go to 24 with those above. That is why I hate people at the gym.

sorry had to vent.

Lots of selfish idiots in the gym monopolizing machines with 5 minute sets, oblivious to others. Either build an inexpensive home gym or creatively come up with an idea on how to get to Metroplex at least part of the week when it's busiest at the other gym.

switch gyms, work out at home, or just get bigger tham them so tht they will get intimidated by you and leave you alone!

I avoid all gyms with the word fitness in it.

they're called assclowns

they are in many places that call themselves gym but aren't

you can ask them questions like:

"can I work in with you"

"since you're doing 65lb curls at the strength rack do you mind if I put the bar up a notch or two load a couple of plate on each side and use this mother fucker for what it was built for??"

don't be a pussy

My gym is cool, its a world gym thats practically in a basement, every free weight machine you need, and lots of motivation with pictures of Lou and Arnold on the walls it keeps you lifting!

mine used to be like that...pics of members competing and whatnot....now its under new ownership and is more of a "health facility."

sli · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2006, 04:40:42 PM »

I've been lucky to find a gym where the people and owner are really cool. The atmosphere is great and people know what the F their doing.
Now I find out I have to move! It sucks! I hate looking for new gyms.
Any one know a good gym in Columbia, Maryland?

I know exactly where your comming from...they used to really annoy me. They sit there with their gell in their hair bouncing from machine to machine with no particular purpose. What I do is I usually go to those type of places on leg days because none of those assholes ever works out their lower body. Some heavy squats and deadlifts with some really loud yelling usually causes them to migrate to the other side of the gym lol.
