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!!!! |

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. |

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

"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.
Yes!! Exactly!!! Why!???"
I get dropping heavy dumbbells after working to failure but slamming the machines is 100% for attention. |

"Amazed at the number of younger people using the equipment while taking pictures or messaging  "
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 |

That’s what’s known as mitigating circumstances  |

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? |

"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."
Lucky ! Mine must be basic gym. 99 quid a month!! |
