(Not sure if this was done here before on this site)

There's nothing better than finding the right gym, one where you look forward to going in every time to meet your goals and get in shape without it feeling like a drag. But even the best of them have their moments when shyt has you walking around like :comeon:. For me it's

1) The New Years crowd- That rush of people who signed up just because they made a resolution to go to a gym, and end up taking up space and goofing off after forgetting that getting in shape actually takes work.
Jan 1-21st - :krs::krs::krs::krs::krs::krs::krs::krs::krs: OMG beach body, here we come!

Jan 22 - Feb 15- :jawalrus::jawalrus::jawalrus::jawalrus: I can skip a day or two, but I PROMISE to go hard when I come in.

From March on -

My reaction - :ahh: Glad they're gone. Now i can finish a workout without having to wait on every other exercise or watch some :scusthov: form from people who've been taught badly.

2) nikkas who can't rack the weight - N I'm not talking about people who just leave the weights all over the place when they done like a tornado hit the place, but cats who don't put the weight in the right spots.

:smugbiden: Ok, time to curl some 45s. I got one, now - :wtf: Where's the other - :beli::shaq2:Who the fukk left it on the other side? Messy ass, low reading comprehension mfers.
Or even worse, someone racking 3 45 lb plates over the last pair of available 10lbs, giving me extra work to do.



Luckily none of this bothers me too much and I can :heh: it off and KIM to the end of the workout.

Share your pet peeves or stories!

People stealing weights from your station while benching. Dudes be taking 25's from you like you don't see them. I'm like

People taking lighter dumbbells and working out towards the heavy section. I'm like :beli: when I ready to do my chest press when i see dude with some 25's doing chest flys towards to 100's.

Depends on your area, but usually, it's like Saturday afternoons and around 6pm (after class/work)

- When you're on the treadmill and you want to stick to that non stop 60 minute running, then some foul smelling creature with the 'funk of 40,000 years' gets on the one next to you and the odor is permeating all five of your senses but you can't get off just yet.

- When you're in the middle of an intense workout and idiots wanna talk to you about any old bullshyt and interrupt your flow

WHY THE fukk do people do this? :mindblown:
Im in the aerobic area after all the classes are finished right, by myself. I jump roped for 20 minutes then did 60 burpees right. This friend comes around the time im finishing my jump rope. He comes in jump ropes for maybe minute. Proceeds to do leap frogs with the jump rope across the floor of the workout area, then he just sits down in a corner not far from where im doin my burpees and just sits there. I was like, odd. I had to tell him to move just so i could put the floor mat back. It almost seemed like he fell asleep or something. Just sitting there with his eyes closed with headphones on. I just couldnt help but wonder. Friend, what are you doing here.

I try to calm myself down by reminding myself that these people subsidize my membership costs by joining and never showing up. I assume at least some of them must have joined for a year, only to stop going by valentines day.

It actually works pretty good.
