I hate the gym when it is crowded!
I can't stand the gym when it is crowded, if I don't make it to the gym by 10 AM I don't go at all. Do you guys mind a crowded gym?

My gym doesn't get too bad when I go (lunch hour). However, I have favorite machines (elipical, weight areas, etc.) that are sometime in use and I need to wait or find something else to do.
Now I do hate when the locker room is crowded. I don't like moving around naked men trying to get to the shower or my locker.

Crowded gyms are the worst...especially when it's crowded because a bunch of little high school kiddies are in there trying to look tough lifting itty bitty weights and getting the face of the gym-rat that looks like he could eat the entire group for lunch and still have room for dessert.

I try to avoid it. But the gym I currently go to is extremely large and very open, so even when it's so busy that every single treadmill (I think there's about 60 of them) is occupied, it still doesn't feel cramped. So it's no big deal.
At an old gym where they only had limited space and enough room for a few bikes, and 4 treadmills, and everything was close together. Then I hated going when it was crowded. I would avoid it at all costs.

I hate it. I hate it when you get a bench, walk around to find 1 5lb plate, come back and your bench has been stolen.
We also seem to have a high school night. These damn kids must exercise for 5 min out of an hour. The rest of the time they are running around and gossiping.

Work out in the mediocre "exercise room" of my apartment building in preference to a club membership because all of the sports centers in CC philly are thronged, and the decent ones are expensive as hell. Half the folks are there to see and be seen, not to work out, and you find equipment held up by folks who are reading, talking, catching up on CNN, whatever.......

I get off work at 4:30 and I'm at the gym by 5-5:15. Its not as crowded then, but wait 20-30 minutes later and its damn crowded. I don't mind it if its all ladies since they usually don't use the free weights and they're good eye candy

Outnumbered at home
I skip the weights if I walk in and it is jammed and just do cardio. End up wasting so much time waiting for people to get off things or put weights back it is a waste of my time.

I'd love to put together a home gym but I don't plan on staying here that long and moving that stuff would be a pain in the ass.

Hate a crowded gym. 10 degrees hotter = makes me feel sick. People bump into you or get in your way with the free weights, claim they are using a bench when they're not, dont wipe down equipment, makes the smell worse...I could go on and on.

Yeah that's whats good about big Div 1 school gyms. PSU's main gym was enormous (even though some kids said it was small compared to other Big 10 schools') and it was like $55 for the year. And people still complained about that ![Jack](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/jack.gif)
They would keep count and cap it and only allow 210 people at a time in the gym, so there would always be a line during January and the week before spring break
but other than that it was fine overall.

UC Irvine is pretty good in the morning. My ass is up at 8am for upper-div writing so by the time it's over (920am), i just head over to the gym aka "ARC" and the upper level indoor track is completely empty and all three indoor basketball courts are empty, so i get to run, play some basketball, and lift with no hassle. ....
