I don't have a full "gym" I actually go to a fitness center at my apartment complex. It has a layout of cardio machines -> downstairs and weights -> upstairs. They keep the sanitary spray upstairs, but since people are incredibly lazy, if they don't keep a pack of sanitary wipes downstairs, the cardio machines don't get wiped down.

It just harkens that image of people taking the escalators to get to the gym instead of the stairs. You're working out (well, supposed to be) but you don't want to walk upstairs to get the spray?

That's why like I say, I always wipe it down before, as a precaution.

my favorite are the guys loading up the bench bar with way more weight than they are capable of lifting and don't use clips because they are not "cool".

And the weight slowly starts sliding down and then starts falling off one side, then the other, and back and forth, of course they are too weak to stop it....

UNCTYPE-S

There an echo in here?

^^^haha aaaannnnnnndddddddd...........douche

forgot about those guys too

UNCTYPE-S

w/ e-muscles are so fitting to this thread.

khannie112

Hate the guys that are NOT buff , but think they are - and wears cut off shirts and brings a gallon of water to the gym.

Dude - you can barely bench 150 lbs 5 times, you take a 5 minute break to look at yourself in the mirror, and you chug from your gallon of water. Who do you think you're foolin???

demarco5

Yes e-muscles...after taking several months off last weeks numbers
405x15 deficit pull
315x10 incline bar
275x6 military bar
100x20 military dumbell
315x20 and 405x12 squat

don't make me laugh any harder...call my bluff i'll be happy to happy to post some vids just for you

I am not flaunting either, I am one of the weakest in my lifting group as far as max lbs are concerned just stating.

Sorry I didn't read all 20 pages of the thread to satisfy you UNC, just sharing my funny experiences, no reason to go after a member of the same group.

UNCTYPE-S

It was posted on the last page. Did you even read any page of this thread?

BTW, nice numbers. If you want to post pics/vids, feel free to create a separate thread and flaunt away!

demarco5

Not until after your comment. Just the first 8 pages, would have read all 20 if my lunch break was much longer. I think we should start a new one with pictures of these culprits or just start now I got a real winner all of you would die watching his "textbook" form.

1. brazilian women with fake boobs, lips, and asses, that wear one-peice spandex suits, but yet are with their ugly ass boyfriends only because they fell into a latin inheritance and drive a ferrari/lambo/AM.

2. juiceheads that pretend to not know english when you ask to work in.

3. guys with 6-packs that take off their shirts around the gym whenever they get a chance.

4. girls with boob jobs that refuse to talk to me.

welcome to the LA Fitness in the latin/financial district of miami.

Brickell?

ThermonMermon

yup!

ill add some more:

6. guys that work out with sunglasses

7. dudes that take cellphone pics of each other mid rep to post on facebook

8. guys that purposely wear tee shirts that say what brand of car they own, or what high rise hotel/condo tower they live in.

9. girls that try show off their fake asses so much that you could catch a glimpse of their implant scars (which basically looks like a thong shaped scar) straight nasty.

Had to deal with some woman who left her belongings on a bench, to try and reserve it for herself later. She would sprint on the treadmill for like 4 minutes, then abruptly stop, then dash over to the bench she "claimed" and do a specific lift, then rest for a minute or two, go back to the treadmill, 4 minutes later, back to a different machine or weight set, etc etc.

She did that for a couple different machines and exercises by the weights. whatabitch.

is300eater

I can top that... I saw this couple once... doing some kind of circuit... and when they were at the other machines, they placed an "Out of Order" sign on the ones that they wanted to reserve. I guess the signs belonged to the gym but they knew where the signs were kept (signs used when machines are actually out of order)... I watched how they put the signs back after their workout was done.

Doom878

Sadly as great as circuits are they are just not gym friendly

Me: Resting after a set...
Douche: "Hey man, how many sets do you have left?"
Me: "2, but I don't mind if we rotate. Go ahead."
Douche: "Hey, Douche 2, 3, and 4, over here!"
Me:
Douches: "We won't be long."

Spent 15 minutes on that one farking machine. WTFBBQ If I knew you were bring your groupies I would've finished my workout you red-faced tards.

Doom878

Yeah I would've been like, dude I thought you were alone. I'll be done in 5 minutes.

these run rampid in my gym...

they talk about how long its been since they were in the gym, and usually try to do way too much weight.

i thought a guy was gonna die the other night doing bench with dumbbells. when people tried to step in, he said its the only way to get big.

i've gained 70 lbs on bench since i started at this place a few months ago, and this guy uses the same dumbbells he did on day one.

BigPZ

There's this guy at my gym who's always asking me to spot him while he's on the bench. He's always trying some ridiculous weight, barely dropping the bar more than 2 inches and breathing/exhaling like an animal with each "push" as I keep him from decapitating himself...all I receive in exchange for the countless spots are the disgusting fumes from his morning breath right in my face...I'm further rewarded by the decrepid old guy in the change room who's always got a leg up on the counter, using the hairdryer to dry off his nards right beside my locker...

goddsmack

To be honest, alot of these complaints are depending on the gym. I have two memberships, one to 24 hour (costs me only $20 a year), and then a Gold's. I'm so happy to have joined Gold's because the folks in there are respectable, people work out properly, and there is very minimal things that irritate you over there. The problem is their benches are a bit high for me for lift off for chest presses and I don't like their leg machines so I usually hit up 24 hr for those parts, otherwise Gold's is my gym for all other workouts: shoulder, back, bi's & tri's.

Rapture

Wow. If I was there, I would've just hopped on the machine just to see the look on their face.

I left 24 hour fitness because of how packed it was after 5 pm. I didn't really have the energy to go at 8pm after getting up at 4:30 ever morning.

Biggest pet peave: douches who have horrible form and only workout their upperbody ..

You have 45" chest, 22" arms and 7" calves! Good work man!

I'll stick with my boxing / kickboxing training.

i dont work out my legs at all in the gym..


of course i've played soccer for nearly 20 years and still do .... i could more than likely leg press a truck.

Rapture

Ugh, bitches on phones. Was doing my routine and some obnoxious woman walks in, squawking away on her phone. As a matter of fact, I could hear her before she even walked in. She was one of those dumbasses who thinks you still need to yell into phones in order for the person on the other end to hear you. It wasn't so much that she was on the phone, it's just the sheer volume. It was pretty much impossible to ignore her. Just yelling into her phone, talking about how much she hates her daughter and how everyone she knows is an ignorant asshole except for her. She was on a treadmill the whole time, which was right by the water cooler. Every time I walked over to refill my bottle, she quickly hushes up until I walk away. As soon as I'm far enough away, she's back to squawking about how her teenage daughter doesn't want to do chores. Yeah, she was loud enough to where I really couldn't tune her out. Believe me, I tried.

Next time I'm just gonna crank up the radio and maybe she'll get the hint.

So far everyone at my gym has been decent. I see the same ppl there all the time, they will glady spot for each other and let you work in, so far I haven't got on a single piece of equipment that had sweat left on it. And this is an LA Fitness where you'd think no one would have a clue.

is300eater

NOT necessarily "people I hate"... but occasionally I see white/Caucasian bodybuilders cutting their hair and getting blonde highlights trying to look like Jay Cutler (IFBB BB, NOT the quarterback) And it would be respectable if they were actually really big... but the guy at my gym, while he's somewhat big, he's also got a gut too. And on legs day, he wears these really tight short shorts , like the bodybuilders did back in the 80's and 90's He walks around with that wobble, lat pose, arms flared out posture

ugh, whatever... I mean... I'm not big by any means... but I grew up with bodybuilders, many competed on national levels, 2 turned IFBB Pro... and they don't even really walk like that. Some had to, because they were THAT big (yes, they "juiced"... and a lot of it). It just cracks me up that guys get all big headed and arrogant, but yet... if they only knew

UNCTYPE-S

Just today I was in between sets and had my towel resting on the peck fly back pad while I went to get a drink of water (20ft away). I come back and my towel is hanging on another machine while an old lady is doing a set. My gym is hilarious. LOL

is300eater

old people just don't know, you can't really blame them... it's the douche bags that know exactly who was using it, but yet... think they are too cool to have to ask.

UNCTYPE-S

^Oh we have those too. High School kids who do all the workouts wrong yet try to push alot of weight and looking nothing different from the 1st day they walked in.

On another note, we didn't really have a huge rush of "New Years Resolutioners". We had more kids than anything due to schools being off for break.

Mizouse

i hate hot bitches at the gym, i either end up not working out or working out at a machine that i dont even know how to use or want to use....

is300eater

that's when you ask them how to use it. Ask her if she's a trainer because she's got the physique of a trainer

Sarlacc

I see that going over like a lead weight...

is300eater

The funny thing is, I knew a guy that tried pulling this off, she turned out to be a trainer, got talked into buying personal training sessions (which wasn't cheap), and in the end, didn't get anywhere with the chick

Mizouse

i know. but i was trying to get at was that i always end up trying to use a machine nearby the chick so i can keep looking

I call that imaginary lat syndrome and way too many ppl seem to suffer from it.

Rapture

I once worked with a short fat guy that did that. He was one of those fat guys that wears Tapout apparel all the time, probably goes to the gym a couple times a week (doesn't do any exercise correctly) and finishes his "workout" with a trip to McDonald's.

is300eater

So yesterday, I see this guy working out in the same blue shirt that I've seen him in several times before, and I'm quite certain that he's not washing it because he stunk, it was that mildew, BO like smell, and as he worked up more sweat, that shit just amplified. everywhere he went in the gym, you can see the reactions of the people going "Holy shit! WTF??!!"
