Used to work out at this one gym and this guy had weightlifting gloves he would wear while fast walking on the treadmill. THOSE FUCKING gloves STUNK!!!!!! It was soo unbearable you fucking gagged. Their is no way in hell this guy could not have noticed it. F'n asshole. Go wash those fucking gloves!


The music at the gym. OK, Ok, I know I'll probably get slammed for this.......but FUCK, do we have to be playing Hip Hop almost EVERY FUCKING NIGHT along with gang banga shit on every song?!


The 'tards who stack alot of wieght on the bench press machine, and then extend their arms out for a very wide grip, and then to only get the bar out about half way and call it good. If they used proper technique, they wouldn't be able to stack so much weight. Yeah, I'm fooled, you're tuff.


Running on the treadmill after so long and then the thing decides to just stop for no reason. What the fuck is up with that?


Three words: Sweaty stinky farts.

Ok I've got another one. What about these old people at the gym who don't ever do anything but stand around and talk and drink COFFEE. If you are working out and hot how can you drink hot coffee. I say you can't. These old farts need to just stay at Hardee's and drink their coffee and chat.

Guys that walk around the dressing room starkers. They stand at the sinks brushing their teeth, shaving, blow drying their hair etc in the nip !!! Why ?
I understand male nudity is a necessary occurance while at the gym but for fuck sake put underwear on before you have a shave !!!

I've got the best gym in the world....its in an old warehouse here in the 803 and was originally just a climbing wall for rock climbers but they added a full service gym at some point. No old fat hairy dudes walking around naked, lots of hot chicks, and very little of the usual gym BS. My only gripe is that I wish they stayed open a couple of hours later, but that's very minor. Besides that I actually can't think of a complaint about my gym, which is amazing. It's even convienent--about a half mile from my house.

Before I joined this gym I went to the big "yuppie" gym in town, and it was just old, fat hairy bank middle management types and baggy old ladies that spent too much time in the tanning salon. Invariably one of the hairy fat dudes would be bending over bare ass naked when I went into the locker room, and there would be all sorts of naked dudes flapping around doing all of the stuff that others have mentioned--shaving, drying their hair, etc.--bare ass naked. They were even $20 a month more expensive than my current gym. They may have had more aerobics classes (which I don't do) and they had a semen and chylmadia infested hot tub that looked more like a breeding pool for mosquitos but thats the only thing they had that my current gym doesn't.

Complaint #4 (related to quirk #2) the upselling. At least twice a month, when checking in there will be someone asking me ," would you like to add a friend or family member for just $20 a month?" As if I couldn't muster up the courage to approach a sales mutant and ask about adding someone. The other stupid thing they often do is hand me a sales flyer back with my membership card, to which I promptly throw on the ground without even a look. And then there's is the "Last day special," advertised every conceivable spot. Some of these advertisements are 8 x 10 copies that are either taped up for slid behind a plastic cover. One of these days I am bringing replacement advertising for which I will try and take pictures to post here. Fuk I am pathetic.

In responce to that Presto I would have to agree. What I hate is when I get mailers from the gym. I hate recieving a flyer about them running a better deal to join the gym then the one I had to pay. Stupid.

Comment #4. The fact is most people don't care or put much thought into their gym attire, and I understand and respect that mindset. But there is one style of clothing no one should ever wear to a gym: tie dye. It's like trying to mix oil with water. Imagine someone wearing a suit to a G. Dead concert. Every time I see someone wearing one of these things I feel like puking right in their face. I am not a complete tie dye hater. I suppose it has its time and place.
I don't care if someone wears scruffy cut off jeans and a grubby old half shirt, but please save the tie dye for times outside a gym.

Been at my Y since 1979 and seen it all. They have strict rules about replacing your weights and cleaning your equipment.

Never found much that bothers me in the locker room, other than someone shaving and not rinsing the sink out.

In the weight room I find the chicks that wear clothes that show off their ink is disgusting. Rarely a hot chick with the lower back dump area showing.

Guys that come into the sauna without sitting on a towel and also spitting on the ground is disgusting.

So check it out...

I almost get into blows with a cat from my gym for firing a snot rocket onto the floor of the gym. This was no unintentional half sneeze, but a full on "place finger over nostrel and exhale with hurricane force." I look at him and said, "c'mon man, that wasn't cool... your gotta share this space with alot of people." This is the moment he gets all uppity, like someone isn't supposed to call him out on filthing up the common areas. He says, "why don't you mind your own business?" I just start shaking my head an say, "dude, I'm just asking that you conduct yourself in a manner that doesn't leave your bodily fluids on the floors, mirrors and equipment." Rather than just saying, "my bad, I get into a zone." he says, "fuck you." At that moment I had to walk away and take several deep breaths. Once I got my wits about me again, I walked upstairs and smoothed talk the receptionist to use the PA to try and find my friend. I got on that fucking PA and said, "Everyone keep their distance from the filthball in blue shorts with the UW shirt on squating and blowing snot on everything... I hear he has a small penis too." I then book it out of there.

I end up seeing the deushbag the next time I am in there and give him the familiar head nod. I just get a glare back, but the incident became reknown at the local Bally's.

Complaint #1. A group of three or four guys working out. They are taking turns on the same piece of equipment. They occupy the other two adjoining pieces of equiment while resting and talking. :nono5:

Complaint: the shower dripper.Guy is too good to dry off in the shower area and instead graces everyone, and the floor, with his divine shower leftovers. Guy gets out of the shower, grabs his towel and then proceeds through the locker room while leaving a trail of shower residue all over the floor. Guy gets to his locker, starts drying off and then leaves a puddle behind. I always feel like saying," hey asshole, is that how you dry off at home?":youmad:

Today I witnessed (sort of) something no man wants to experience. I am in the bathroom (it's separated from the lockers by a opaque glass wall) when I start to hear some loud voices. I couldn't really make out what was being said but it wasn't in a friendly tone. I understood the last part and it was one guy saying, "yeah, and you were looking at me the whole time I was in the shower! Go home." The other guy responded ,"No, I was shaving."

At this point I had just stepped out of the bathroom into a rather intense atmosphere. It looked like some rather gay appearing guy was getting called out for leering at someone.

Living in a homo-friendly city, there is probably a lot of leering going on everyday.

I was impressed the guy called him out. I don't know what I would have done in his situation.

Presto, are you sure the guy "shaving" wasn't actually shaving, and the guy who thought he was getting checked out then made the move?
