What Bothers you about your gym?

[Griz1]

now that summer is coming all the idiot teenage oys are in trying to get ripped before summer.. mostly standing around the banch press.. lifting the wieght off each others chest and talkign on their cel phones.

Yeah as they sit there with a couple of 10's on an olympic bar monopolizing the fucking bench for a half a fucking hour.

And of course you gotta strip off the 10's when they're done and replace them with a couple of 45's each side just to warm up. I love how they then slink out of the weight room after that.

Last spring I got 3 teenagers off their asses who were doing this. I walked up and told them I was gonna work in with them. They meekly said "OK". So I told them it would go faster if they helped me put the plates on and then replace them with their weights after my set. Poor fuckers were beat after my 4 sets just loading my plates...lol! Never saw them in there again either.

Also, yeah, perfume! What the fuck is up with that? It's a FUCKING G Y M !!! I feel like pulling these numb cunts aside and explaining that sweat doesn't stink, it takes about 4 hours before sweat starts to smell due to bacterial action. "Oh my I'm sweating! I must reek....eeeeww stinky me!" GO HOME!

Also the stupid bitches that show up wearing so little they might as well have a fucking g-string on, and then get pissed when they notice you looking at some part of their body as if you were the pervert. "Mind if I do some squats in front of you naked??" "How dare you look at my body!!!"

"Mind if I smack you in the face with my cock?"

Also the fact that in the summer (and winter) the damn staff who are sitting on their asses in shorts and a tee shirt keep the heat up cause "it's cold". Of course it's fucking cold! You are sitting on your fat ass in nothing but shorts and a tee shirt watching other people work up a sweat! See that guy sweating buckets over there? He's not cold HE'S BOILING! Put some fucking clothes on and turn down the fucking heat! Inconsiderate bastards! Ever swam in an olympic pool? It's freezing cold cause the guys in it are sweating their bags (or boobs) off!

Oh yeah, and all the pin-heads that work out and start "shadow boxing" in the weight room...bwhahahaha! Do they have any idea how DUMB they look? "Yo Adriaaaaaanee!"


OK I'm done now...

 

[Mr. dB]

People who do their whole workout on one station, monopolizing a piece of equipment for 45 minutes. Usually it's either a girl who takes over a flat bench and does every conceivable move you can do with a flat bench and a pair of 5lb dumbells, or a dude who has his whole-body workout mapped out on the dual cable machine.

 

[Mr. dB]

Workout gangs of 4 to 6 brothas all in wife beaters and sweat pants, who all take turns spotting each other on the bench press. And by "spotting each other" I mean the guy on his back appears to be spotting his partner who is doing upright rows, 'cause the guy on top is moving all the weight. Then they take five minutes between sets, talking loudly and using their cellphones.

 

[Mr. dB]

I hate the music in my gym. They have XM satellite radio, and it's always on either the "20 on 20" station (top-40 requests) or "BPM" (techno crap).

Dude, that was harsh. Sounded like the old me.

 

[DIVISION]

The cleaning lady. She starts mopping the floor at 9:45, gym closes at 10. That's fine. She wants to get it done early. However, on more than one occasion she has hit me in the foot with the mop during sets. e.g Squats, military, bench.

When the lady hits you with the mop it's apparently the 15 minute warning.....she's trying to give you a message here, bro.

Next time she'll be trying to stick the mop handle up your crack.....

The angry old lesbian who stares at girls while she works out... the creepy hunger coming across the room is scary.
And the DB's are black with black numbering. Too much time spent trying to find pairs.

my gym specifically?

1) dumbbells go up in large increments, especially the heavier ones. it goes from 99lbs straight to 121, which is bullshit when youre repping out on 99 but cant use the 121s. i took my own personal set of 110s in just so taht i could progress on the inc. bench.

2) a small group of people that either dont put weights away, or put them in the wrong place, stupidly. eg 20kg plates being put over large stacks of 5kg plates. yesterday i picked up a 20kg weight, and didnt notice the 5kg weight in front of it, and the bloody thing fell on my foot, grazing all the way down my shin.

3) no dip belt, so i had to take my own rope in to tie weights onto a belt using a parrot clip stolen from the cable crossover

4) the couple of guys who use 4 machines at once, but if you work in, they go 1 for 1 with you on that machine, even though theyd maybe use it once more if you didnt ask and thats it

5) no lockers. i dont like leaving my phone on an open fronted rack...but i put it under the front counter, so its ok

6) theres never soap in the bathroom, and the bathroom stinks.

7) the owner complains that chalk gets on the floor when i use chalk. newsflash: its a fucking gym. vaccuuming once a week isnt acceptable anyway.

8) the couple of guys that keep looking at you in the mirrors.

9) the spring clips that are bent to hell and really hard to put on, or get off the olympic bars. replace them ffs. you may as well not have them, its such a drama.

10) not enough plates. i cant superset on the leg press and hack suat machine, or no one else can do anything.

11) cracked vinyl on some machines, that has not been replaced. its unhygenic. id hate to cut myself on it and absorb some of the skin and blood borne diseases that hundreds of people left behind when the same happened to them

12) no hot chicks to follow me around telling me what a hottie i am. this one is probably the worst

...not that im complaining, or anything...

Ever think of leaving the phone in your car?
