Title: Gym demographic
Post by: cephissus on December 03, 2018, 01:27:34 PM
Lately one thing has really stood out: at my gym, it's all <30 or >60 year olds.

I guess kids all want to impress each other and hide insecurities, while geriatrics want to stay alive. 30-60, everyone is raising a family or working on their career.

But today I noticed several guys maybe in their 40s, almost all of whom were gay. So I wonder if this is the predominant abnormality that compels those few of us who still go to the gym when so many give up.

Do you actually know these guys? Otherwise, how would you know that they are gay?

I work out at several gyms, including L.A. Fitness and 24 Hour fitness. The clientèle are all ages from teens to geezers like me. I have no idea if any of them are gay, except the two fellows I saw kissing in the locker room awhile back. Maybe my gaydar is broken.   ;D

Many in their 30's and 40's have equipment and work out at home.  The young kids live with their parents or roommates in small apartments so they work out at the gym plus can be used to pick up women.  Old people I don't know why they still use the gym.

It's a social thing for them in addition to the exercise.

Make friends, get out of the house, etc.

X2.

That's like paying way too much attention on everyone around and not minding your business .


But On my next visit to the gym I'll try to stare at people and guess who's straight, gay  or trapped in a man's body but being a lesbian woman  ( no homo)  ;D


WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  LE VRO NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I noticed that many big companies have fitness centers in the office buildings. The client my company has a contract with has one on site. Employees have the fees for gym, parking, etc. deducted from payroll.

To a big extent that's the hard core gym I lift at. Most 30 and under. Then it's the old people. Without a doubt the majority of them come for the social aspect. Look at most guys in their 30's, 40's and 50's. Almost all of them don't train. Sometimes making a living and taking care of a family is their priority. I always trained no matter what. Mainly at home. For the past 3 years at a commercial gym.

Of the three I recall, one wore tights and a "stonewall inn" sweatshirt, the back of which implored me to "stand up to gay bashing" in so many words.

The second was talking to a woman about his feelings.

As for the third, I assume he was a bear since a) that would balance the aforementioned twinks and b) his build sure fit the bill.

Take it how you will.

Like the old school coal mines where you worked, ate and lived at the mine. I can’t believe a company charges their employees for parking and a gym membership.

People of all ages and fitness levels at our gym, though we go at 5 AM so probably different crowds at different times...

Although I don't belong to a gym and train at home, one of the reasons I would join a commercial gym is for social purposes.

Based on what you just posted, I take it you are either psychic or have a habit of jumping to conclusions. Which is perfectly alright as long as you treat people with respect, as you hopefully do.

that's exactly what most of the gym crowd is everywhere, young people trying to look their best at the club, or old people trying to stay alive in retirement

true gym rats that stick around for life are rare

Mr. Herbert's type are members of every gym.  I bet Primemuscle is one of them, and one of the worse.

How would being a good dude and being the only liberal on the forum you like stop him from walking around naked with other old men in the gym locker room?

Evidence?  LOL  

No, I have no evidence that Prime walks around naked with other old men in the locker room.  It's just a guess.  He's old, he's gay, and he goes to the gym.  But I don't even want to think about that.  I workout at home now, and not seeing that anymore is one of the benefits.

A gay bathhouse is a far cry from a legit fitness center or gym. FYI, the New York Man's Country bathhouse closed in 1983. There is a Man's Country in Chicago still in operation.

Sorry - not my style - you voted for him 2x - not me.   To me - he is just a gay muslim communist drug addict living a phony cover story and convinced enough fools like yourself to vote for him.
