Ever see the same people at the gym every time you go?

[BrianNole09]

I just started going to a gym (Gold's Gym, do you have those in Iowa?) about a month ago. I go 3 days a week for 45 minutes each.

Every time I go (right after work so it's crowded) I see the same people there. The gym is pretty small, it probably has 30-40 people and 20 are the same ones each time I go.

It's kind've creepy. It's like going to a vortex or the Twilight Zone.

Those people have a set routine. You're just the newest Tender.

That's why I was happy when we left the commercial gyms and started our own powerlifting gym.

We have a no brotard policy and new members are by referral or invite only.

New guys have to bring the donuts for post squat on Saturdays before going out for breakfast.

Only the servants bringing me drinks

Yes, because I have a routine like most everyone else in life. I go when there is the highest likelihood of babes being present, and the least likelihood of the stand in front of the mirror guys being present.

There are about 4 types I see at the Gym:

1) The guy who played sports in high school and wants
to stay in good physical shape.

2) The guy who loves to lift barbells all day and thinks he
could impress Charles Atlas.

3) The guy who thinks he is God's gift to women and wants
to pick up a gal during his workout.

4) The guy who is overweight and his wife told him to shape
up or ship out.

My gym has all types you described plus obese women, old men wearing jeans, hot chicks and total meatheads.

The only thing I dislike about my gym are the guys that sit on machines playing with their phones for 10 minutes.

Some of the people I see have been going to the same gym as me for 20+ years. Our gym is no longer hip, so most of the younger attractive women are gone which is too bad, but thankfully most of the white sunglasses wearing, shake making, grunting, pencil dick meatheads followed them.

The color schemed plates are a nice touch

50% of the people who join gyms do so only to hook up with other people.

There is a guy who is at my gym about 80% of the time I am there. I can go in the mornings and he is there. If I go in the afternoon is he is there. I actually think that is his social life.

I think it's awesome you started your own gym, congrats and I wish you great success! Now to the funny/ironic part. One line you said you had no brotard policy, and the next says the new guy has to bring donuts before going out for breakfast. In any case, I'm sure it helps keep the gym full.

I don't see many people talking to each other at my gym. Maybe it's different at other places.

There is kind of a clique of people that are always talking...I notice them visiting quite a bit. I like the place because it isn't crazy busy...ever. Maybe that makes it easier for people to talk or get to know each other.

When I'm not incarcerated, I go to Planet Fitness. Or, as I call it "Planet Fatness".

I think a lot of it depends on when you go. When I go at 530 am, there isn't much chit chat. People are there to do their thing and get out the door to work. This time of year I go later in the morning and it is usually packed with retirees that don't have a care in the world. It is honestly like going to the bar for them. They workout a little but bs a lot. As long as they don't hog equipment it doesn't bother me provided they don't try to lure me into their web. I don't go to grab ass.

Just curious, what is your definition of a 'brotard'?

Saturday is generally squat day in our gym. We have 2 monolifts. First group comes in @7-7:30. My group of training partners come in @ 9-9:30.

We usually go out and eat after Saturday morning lifting.

This looks like my gym.

I ride the spin bike next to an older lady who gets on her cell and yaps for 50 minutes. Every friggin day.

 

[NoleSoup4U]

I generally only notice if it's a hot woman.

We were actually due for a gym pet peeve thread.​

It's like planet fitness, only better.

 

[SIXERS24]

Wear head phones and who cares what other people are doing on their phones!

Unless the bastard is sitting at the machine I want to use then hit in the head with a 25!

Brotard= sleeveless shirts, necklace, glove wearing, decent upper body w/ chicken legs, quotes fitness magazine, wears cologne to gym. Pretty much the quintessential commercial gym douchebag. This jackass benches and does curls only. They want to be ripped or shredded, but barely eat enough to keep a baby bird alive.

I am a sad combination of 1 and 2

Ok, fair enough.
