Anyone often log on to see who from the gym might be on here. Bit of the thrill watching the squats wondering if they enjoy the lifestyle.

Anyone in Leeds say hello

Nope. And if you haven’t ever seen one of these threads before (I’m guessing not) you’ll hear a lot of “I’m at the gym to work out, not check out”.

People are entitled not to be stared at while just trying to work out. In fact, while they’re anywhere doing anything.

This, I'm too busy focusing on my workout and checking to see which machines are available to even consider if there are other fabbers there. Although one local guy put up a changing room pic a few days ago and I knew it was my gym, and have a suspicion of who it is

It’s been a great way to meet in the past as well.

Once you get the hint of a similar mind the seed is planted

I know there are people from my gym on here. There are a few single guys who I recognise from my gym, taking photos in the locker room of my gym.

I go to the gym to strengthen my shoulders and back and attempt to make my left leg work. Definitely not to find people on here or anything else. Despite sticking out like a sore thumb (only wheelie who uses the gym), no-one has ever made me feel uncomfortable. I think my PT helps to deter unwanted behaviour, just by existing.

Never have who's near on. And my gym face is bright red and grumpy. My boobs need serious support (flattened monoboob). Gym me is not attractive me. I am more likely to be mentally critiquing form and range of motion than checking someone out

He has a point. At my old gym a fabber I'd been chatting briefly with turned up at the circuits class I was attending and proceeded to stare at me for the entire time. I couldn't wait to get out of there. One thing I was glad about when I changed gym was not seeing him there.

Totally agree with that. When I had my own gym phones had to be left in changing room unless there was a necessity to carry it.

The guy only sounds like he's having a look around. Hardly trying to dry hump or tea bag folk on the yoga mats.

Too risky to look at any females in the gym these days, let alone log on Fab.

By the same measure I never played sport to meet women.

Glad I did though and I never got angry when it turned out they were only there to check me out.

My son lifts (I mostly just fuck about on the bars and rings etc.) but when I join in with him I can never handle how long his rests last for. It's like a whole song. No wonder he's there for hours.

If you're training to failure or training for strength, it's not uncommon to rest for 3 to 5 minutes between sets.

Yeah I’m a phone user in the gym. I take notes of my lifts and have my music on it. The other option would be carry a Walkman and a filofax like it’s 1994.
