Just having a bad day overall, and I decide to hit the gym...my one oasis. The one place I can go and forget about everything and just focus on those muscle contractions. I get in my zone, and head to the gym. Shoulder day...shoulders aren't feeling too great, really tight, everything is feeling heavy on this cut. So I'm over by the dumbbells completely away from any human interaction...PURPOSELY. I'm doing some side laterals, trying to get in the zone. FINALLY, when I start to get a tiny pump going and get in the zone, MID-SET, MID-FUCKING-SET, like, as I'm raising the dumbbells up from one rep to another, a fucking gym trainer comes up to me, and starts pointing at the bench in front of me. Legit, standing right in front of me, just pointing at the bench and staring at me. And I'm nowhere near the fucking bench and none of my shit is ANYWHERE near it. I ignore him, hoping he'll get some sense and ask me when I finish my set...just because he needs validation that I'm not on the damn bench because I'm nowhere near it. Nope, he legit taps me on the FUCKING CHEST, AS I'M LIFTING, to get my attention. Yes, you read that right, as I'm doing side laterals with dumbbells, he taps me on the chest to get my attention to see if I'm using a bench that's 15 feet away from me, where absolutely nothing belonging to me is at...I set the dumbbells down on the the floor, rip off my earphones, and say "do you have any fucking sense? Do you see my anywhere near that bench or any of my stuff there? And you tap me on my fucking chest WHILE I'M PERFORMING A GODDAMN EXERCISE WITH PRETTY HEAVY WEIGHTS?" Not one word comes out of his mouth. Nothing. He just stares blankly at me. I put my headphones back in, and continue with the worst workout of my life. Completely lost it after that.

A personal fucking trainer...Jesus Christ...

You need to get back on tinder and get laid my friend.

You are entirely incorrect about that actually...

As any male who lifts and is sexually active knows (I guess you must not fit in those categories?), too much sex means shitty workouts and shitty mood...

You mean....morning sex doesn't count as fasted cardio??

You must be railing some real dogs- cause I'm always in a good mood when I get some first thing in the morning :

[1MOREMOD]

Does it count if it only lasts 2 minutes?

[Mr.SugarSkulls]

People who "pyramid stack" 4 different sets of dumb bells during peak hours, AND ITS TWO OF THEM- so it's actually 8 sets missing.

I gave them a little hint and said they should be more considerate, or come at non peak hours to do their "pyramid sets"

1) people who come in and then just start talking and nothing else. It's not a F conference room! STFU and start working out or GTFO.

2) people who make way too much noise when they're lifting. Especially when it's light weights.

3) people who talk to you when you're lifting. Especially when it's something funny.

4) people who do not put bars, weights back where they're supposed to go.

5) people who don't clean up after themselves.

6) people are disgusting & annoying.

I was foam rolling earlier, and a girl set up to deadlift infront of me- and I guess the weight was too heavy because she totally let out the loudest protein fart when pulling -


I think I may be a-sexual now

[08njSTEP]

How do you know it was a protein fart? Could you taste it?

[shay2nak]

wow. lmao!

Maybe it wasn't a girl, but a man who's gender preference is female. you never know nowadays.

As funny as these posts are I stopped reading after Page 7 so sorry for any duplication :

1) personal trainers or gym employees whose sole purpose is to hit on members of the opposite sex. Okay I get that you feel confident in your physique but kindly GTFO or have some level of professionalism about what you do.
I've seen in the last 15 years or so maybe 2 PT's that genuinely wanted to help and gave useful advice.

Also more generally about PT's :

NO i don't want to see you flirt with that girl just because shes a newbie and this gym is apparently your territory

NO i don't appreciate you lurking around with the other PT's like some weird testosterone filled gang checking out and judging people, go do your fkin job

NO i don't want to hire you for your personal service because time and again, you prove you just like hurting people not helping them achieve their goals

2) People who read books whilst doing cardio - usually but not always obese people and women. I'm overweight myself, hence getting my ass back in the gym, but come on seriously? Are you that devoid of motivation and unable to make an effort that you're actually reading on the treadmill? Break a sweat or GTFO

3) As above but people who are on their phones talking. Why bother coming to the gym at all?

4) Guys who make no attempt to dry off in the shower then turn the locker room into a river of post shower sweat and water

5) Going into a sauna/steam room that's been occupied for a little too long by a bunch of old guys reeking of desperation just waiting for a girl... Any girl.. Any being with breasts to walk in so they can practise their dad jokes and relive their youth.

6) teens that hog the weights area in groups, with alpha male leading the pack and the others gazing lovingly into his eyes and pecs telling him "good lift brah", usually wear super loose vest tops that show their pidgeon chests, those stupid baseball caps and use terms like swole, yolo and swag

7) Angry big guy. Okay we all have a bad day and come to the gym to vent but seriously, stop grunting like a murderer on heat, stop throwing the weights down like you're a WWE superstar and don't use your size to intimidate others into letting you use the dumb bells you need just because you want them right now

Re: 2. Reading. I don't do this but if people can read on a treadmill because it is damn boring, more power to them. Let overweight people do what they gotta do to get them to the gym

I thought this only worked in the Jacuzzi. I can go in the sauna as well?

Nope, I checked, only guys allowed in my gym's sauna, unless I go into the women's bathroom

[HyeWarrior]

I reported an old dude in the sauna one time to the staff. He kept haggling a girl and wouldn't leave her tf alone. I even heard her tell him she feels uncomfortable with the questions she's asking. He's still there everyday, but he keeps his mouth shut now.

[Labrada_Exoticz]

ugh ... To much to list but here's a few:

- Dumbbells being littered all over the place.

- People who use the dumbbell rack as a seat or bag holder.

- People who take up benches by the dumbbells simply to have a seat in-between sets or use them just to place their bag and water down.

- When you kindly ask how many sets someone has left and their response is "A lot" and in a really douchebag manner.

- Guys who feel the need to stack the leg press with as many plates as the machine can hold just to do half reps and then not have the courtesy of reracking the weights.

- Not reracking the weights in general after using them, leaving it up to someone else to clean up your mess.

- People who aren't mindful of their surroundings such as people that are working out around them and are constantly in the way.

- People who come to the gym with loud portable speakers instead of headphones and blast their music at max volume.

- This new trend of guys that feel the need to wear leggings which exposes their junk for everyone to see during the workout.


I'm sure I can think of much more but thats it for now.

Don't get me wrong I'm supportive to the cause being overweight myself. My point was more that unless there's a really good reason for it (injury etc) , you should be pushing yourself and working up a sweat otherwise why bother coming?

Because it's better than nothing?

[raptor_f22]

Guess so.
