There is plenty of parking behind the building. I know this because I parked in it. I know that every time I’ve ever gone, there has been lots of parking free there. So considering that fact that you’re probably just going to go inside and walk 5 miles on a treadmill, do you think that maybe you could walk the extra 30 yards to park your car in a real parking space? You know, rather than lining your cars up with all the other Lazy Fucks ™ along all the curbs in the front of the gym? Rather than parking in the freaking RIGHT TURN LANE of the street that leads up to the gym?
Thank you for your prompt attention to thi smatter.
Huzzah sister! Huzzah!
My complaint with fellow gym members is their total lack of respect for their fellows and the equipment.
Once you finish with the set, WIPE DOWN THE MACHINE!
Yes, you Mr and Ms “sweaty-back”! That cool paper towell dispenser is not there for you to use to wipe off your damp forehead. The bottle of disinfectant isn’t there for show.
I actually called out to you the other day, as you were walking away from the last machine you left your mung all over. I couldn’t believe the look on your face as I held out a paper towel and the spray bottle to you. I nearly fell over when you said, in a Barberino-like tone, “what”?
And the :rolleyes: and the “exasperated sigh” that you gave me when I explained that it’s YOUR responsibility to wipe off the schvitz that you left behind.
Damned if you didn’t do the SAME THING in the free-weight room not more than ten minutes later.
Hope no one mistook your clean sweatshirt for an after-shower towel!
My gym complaint is people who leave their sweat soaked accoutrements all over the locker room benches. My gym has free lockers. You key in a numeric code to lock them, and use the same code to unlock them. They are free. FREE. Total cost, $0.00. Not only that, but you are free to use more than one locker if you need to.
So why do these Lazy Fucks™ leave damp sweats, socks, and so forth all over the bench?
If you’re going to use a machine, USE IT! Don’t sit there, looking tired, and then say, “I need one more set” when asked if one can work in. If the gym is crowded, the polite thing is to hop up and let others do sets while you rest. :mad: Some of us are actually trying to work out.
Oh, and wear a fuckin’ towel in the sauna and in the dressing room. Don’t walk to the drinking fountain, walk around the dressing room, or do stretches (!) with your schlong hanging out. If you want to show it to me, you’d better buy me dinner and a show first!
There was a guy at my old gym that would sit in the locker room, buck naked, and read the newspaper. I mean, you can’t wrap a towel around your sweaty ass? I sit on that bench too!
First, stop putting the stairmasters on the second floor. Do you know how inconvenient it is to walk up and and down the levels just to use the machines you need for your workout? Have a little consideration, please.
And what’s the deal with showering before using the sauna? I mean, you’re gonna sweat off all that dirt anyway right? If anything, we should be able to use the sauna as a shower. It has a drain, right? It has water, right? This ain’t rocket science to put two and two together.
What I don’t get is why there aren’t more mirrors up along the dumbbell equipment. How am I supposed to see if my curls are being done correctly if I can’t get a groundhog’s eye view of my ass while I’m working out? Seriously, how in the world will others know what I’m lifting if I can’t even see it myself? Think, people!
And finally, I wish you guys had just a tiny bit of noise tolerance. I mean, the looks I get when I’m trying to lift 30 pounds more than I should be. It’s strenous, ok? You’d be grunting loudly too. Just put yourselves in my shoes before you start rolling your eyes. That’s really all I’m asking.
While I get that Enderw24 is joking in his post, this part is a little messed up. I don’t give two craps about anybody looking at me, but I really do need to look in a mirror to check my form. (and how can you “get a groundhog’s eye view of [one’s] ass” doing curls?)
the bench can be made of mirrors? What about if they had those little stools like they have at shoe stores and put mirrors on the ramp?
Yes, I realize the importance of making sure you’re doing the proper technique. But I’m also amazed at the number of people whose workout routine consist of lift, lift, rest, check oneself out in a mirror, rest…
(clap) (clap) (clap) Amen, gobear. Please have some consideration for those of us that really didn’t pay for the freak show.
While you’re at it, please do not french-kiss or have lewd oral sex with the water fountain. Usually, if you can muster up enough thumb strength, you can really make that puppy work!
