Good place to rant?

Gym: why do people have to drop light weights as if lifting massive Arnie type weights?

Why do they let the machines crash at the end of a set??? No need!!!!

Why do people talk on mobiles in changing rooms loudly about business so we can all hear how important they are?

Why do all the guys at a punch bag think they are Rocky?

Why do some blokes have to wear those shirts with nipples on show? Look Feckin stupid?

Why can’t it Just be me with the lovely Lycra clad ladies at all times?

Phew that was best workout for my heart rate this week!!!!

I'm debating between dining table/area and home gym at the moment.

Just can't stand be around people there.

There’s a bloke at my gym uses the cable row and does slow and controlled reps but then slams is back down. It really pisses me off.

Maybe if everyone that went to a gym spent more time not bothering what everyone else was doing, you'd all look like Rocky?

Wear headphones and you won't hear the noise!

The one I don’t get is walking in the treadmill with your hands hooked over the top. You’re making it hard with the incline then easy by clinging on! Do you walk with your arms raised in front of you?!

Also yesterday a woman was walking on one while playing solitaire on the screen and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Gyms are good for some and very unhealthy for others.

Got noise reducing ones on! But…they damage equipment and weights and floor? Costs go up

I used to try and go in at lunchtime as it's quieter (read: bearable) but it's full of young guys, hogging equipment in packs of 8, while more of their mates drip feeding in.

Sick of it.

I found myself watching someone yesterday. There was an absolutely gorgeous, flawless young lady when I was there. No, I wasn't watching her. I kept seeing the middle aged man who couldn't stop staring at her as he kept coming into my eyeline when I was on the bike

OP I think you just need to find a proper gym. I go to mine when it is very quiet so it is basically just me and the ladies. I don’t have any of the issues that seem to trigger you.

As long as you run/walk on them properly you will be safe

I on the other hand walk with bit of a limp so would get mistaken for a zombie and end up with an arrow in my head knowing my luck

It's a mentality. You drop them weights because you crash your energy. It doesn't matter if you failed with 25kg or 100kg.

Why does it bother you what others do? You seem to pay A LOT of attention to others and get upset about them for no reason. Are you unhappy?
