a REAL frustrating gym experience

[pharmguy]

I am seeing all these experiences posted, here is one that happened last week, pissed me off.

I come into the gym at 11 AM. There are like 4 people in the gym.
Not one of them is by the dumbell section. I like to work flat bench then incline, back and forth. I set up the flat and incline n fron of the the heavy dumbells so I don't have to drag a few hundred LBS of dumbells halfway across the floor. While I am doing flatbench, this old rich bitch sits down with her 20 lb dumbells on the inlince bench next to me. I inform her I am working back and forth. Mind you, there is another empty incline bench not in use 10 feet away. I politiley tell her she can work in if she wants. ( she readjusts the height) I move the other incline bench right next to the light weights for her and adjust it to her hieght. I wasn't going to tell her she had to use it, trying to be subtle ya know. Then I go and do my incline set. She makes a snide comment, " I guess I'll just go use that other bench then, sheesh. big sigh..."
It was all I could do to keep my mouth shut. But that old fucking bitch aint worth me gettin kicked out, I like my gym. Old fucking hags think they own the place in the morning at my gym.

LOL!!

I should post my own gym stories!

Luckily I make it to my gym at roughly 4-5am so I don't have to worry about the old hags.

I've got pleanty of Ambercrombie & Finch (punk) stories from when I used to work out in the afternoons. OMG

 

[Creepusmaximus]

I work out in the afternoon and for some reason the kiddies just get the hell out of my way. Think the reason is afternoons are for the night poeple(bouncers, bartenders, etc) and they tend to be all business and not very social.

 

[SCOTTY-TWO-HOTTY]

Its probably a good thing that didn't happen to me. Ahh, she'd have gotten away with it anyways...

Paxil keeps me from killing people.

 

[liftsiron]

Young or old it doesn't matter, regardless if there is no more than three people in the gym, some clueless wang will either be right in my way or want to use what I'm using.


Another thing that pisses me off is the dildoe that wants a spot on every set. I will spot a person one time, and I let them know it.


I also get very pissed when someone that I don't know, therefore do not like, asks me to work in. I tell them that they may work in all that they want, when I'm finished.


Very loud people, the grunters and screamers are also not tolerated well by me.



Last but not least I get very irritated by the advice givers and constant question askers.

You just described 99% of the people in the gym. Maybe a home gym would better suit your personality?

 

[shredawg]

You guys described all the reasons I put together my own home gym. My old gym was like a fuckin social club. I miss some of the great equipment but at home I just blast the radio and do my thing with no distractions.

BTW I guess I am better off at home because I tend to scream out obscenities once in a while when lifting and probably annoy others as much as they annoy me.

 

[IJ26]

Nothing gets me more pissed the the 155 pound kids who walk around in wife beaters with spiked hair. they are the 1st to jump the equip youve set up when working back and forth. i can forgive women bc most dont understand whats going on and r intimidated to lift where the guys are anyway.

 

[d3track]

how bout the ones who try to talk to you when your headphones are on....
then there big question that was so important..."how much you bench man?"

 

[lartinos]

Old people seem to be the worst, they should just die. I hate when people use a machine but need to walk away and chat with their friends inbetween sets. When I'm in a rush I just wanna start swinging.

 

[Rommel]

I was doing some arm dumbell curls, the bench I was sitting on was not 5 feet from the weight rack. People walk by and grab their weight and are on there way...which is no big deal. This arab guy grabs 30lbs dumbells and starts to curl them right in front of me. there is about a foot from me to him and another foot from him to the rack. I'm like WFT, I'm in my 10th rep and this asshole has his ass right in my face doing dumbells curls. Luckly for him his friends saw what was going on and pulled him to the side. Point being is that most people are so fucking inconsiderate.

Try being nasty and give the "I'd tear your fucking eyeballs out of your head and play dice with them if nobody was around" glare. That might work and wont get you kicked out.

just start scratching your nuts like you have a mean case of crabs.........they will leave.

 

[Naeem]

You need to practice your serial killer / psycho look in the gym. Once you perfect it, noone bothers you. I guess the fact that I have perfected that, and I'm brown though would help heh.

 

[MsBeverlyHills]

sounds like your gym needs to buy adjustable incline benches.

 

[pharmguy]

They are adjustable, read what i wrote. The point I tried to make was there was another unused adjustable incline bench a few feet away and the hag wanted to use the one I was using. I tried to be subtle by saying she could work in. I even moved another incline bench close to her weights and asjusted it perfect for her and still the cunt gave me attitude. I didnt go off on her because I knew if started, I wouldnt know if I could stop. And I ain't gettin booted out of my gym. and my experience is these rich old bitches usually know people. especially in the deep south where I live. I guess because she is usually boss around 11 AM . ( I usually work out later then that)

 

[MsBeverlyHills]

if theyre adjustable-- then why did you have to go back & forth between benches???

 

[stonecold54]

because not all adjustable benches have a full ROM. the incline benches at my gym go from 45 degrees to about 70. they don't go all the way flat. I think those are the ones he is talking about. and pharmguy next time just fart and she will be gone.

 

[DaddyX]

if theyre adjustable-- then why did you have to go back & forth between benches???

huh ? maybe he didnt want to keep readjusting it when instead he go just go back and forth like he wanted to, much easier. if the gym wasnt busy and there was another incline bench near by and the bitch is using 20's, she should move. just like here http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=264410 when you said it's this guys fault cause he was just 3 feet away or leaning on it, you would have thought he was done to ? thats ridiculous, what is the guy not aloud to get off the machine and rest or does he have to be right on it to indicate he is done ? i dont know about you but when someone is next to a machine it is not hard to say "are you using this" pretty simple i think.

 

[Jimsbbc]

speaking of farting, someone was ripping ass in the gym yesterday. It smelled like rotton eggs. The worst part is i think it was coming fromt his fat lady on the leg sled.

 

[pharmguy]

They adjust, they aren't convertible. They dont go from flat to incline. The seat is fixed on the incline. and whythe hell should it matter? especially when there was another bench opened. I am beginning to think it was you.

lol@ the snide comments by ms bitch, beverlyhills90210

I agree 100% when I work out I need a break between sets, and a person loses a little intensity if you have to fuck around with the bench each set. Also old rich cunts often leave a hormonal stench behind on equipment, which further robs me of intensity. ( the smell of death)

You just described 99% of the people in the gym. Maybe a home gym would better suit your personality?

You're one of the 99% I described, I presume?

if it was me-- youd know it-- I dont put up w/meatheads that hog up 2 benches

MS Bev I hate to get away from the point, but are you're titties real? Is that you in the avatar?

 

[pharmguy]

I don't get your point here. How is it hogging two benches when there are two of the exact same benches free a few feet away? How would I know it was you? what would you do to me? Bleed on me?
Im getting the raggy vibe from you. try some Evening Primrose oil. Or some cyanide.

almost makes me glad my gym is a lil dump that no one else goes to

 

[boyer]

Not interacitng with people at the gym is the quickest and most efficient way to get your workout done. Just wear a pair of headphones to the gym and tuck the cord into your shirt. People don't typically bother you, but will probably make some interesting comments since they think you can't hear them. Lets say you went to get a drink and some asshole has now tried to monopolize your equipment, you don't even say anything just move his shit and proceed with workout. He will probably atleast mutter something, but just act like he doesn't exist. If he persists or touches you thats when you blast him.
