Assholes at the gym
    #19378664 - 01/06/14 06:42 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Any of you guys lift or just go to the gym in general? I decided to start putting on some muscle in the past year and I've made quite a bit of progress. I'm by no means huge, but it feels good to have gotten stronger especially when it comes to manual labor. Much easier to lift things up, carry them for longer distances. My body also just looks much more fit and toned, which is a self esteem booster.

Anyway, I've always been a pretty relaxed dude, when I go to the gym I do my own thing, got a routine I follow, I'm still a beginner when it comes to lifting so its obvious that I'm still figuring shit out. I can't understand for the life of me why some dudes are such assholes at the gym. Some big dudes will walk in and I'll hear him and his buddies mocking people like me, who clearly aren't massive and benching 350lbs. Or they'll just stand around being all obnoxious and shit. It really kills my vibes when I'm at the gym at that kinda thing goes on. I just started hitting the gym when its more empty and I can just in peace. Why do people have to be like that:rolleyes:

People are people regardless of where they go, I don't think there is a higher concentration of them at the gym necessarily. I honestly know more guys who are willing to share their experience and give out advice to guys who are needing a hand with something than guys who talk shit about people in the gym.

Quit being so self-concious, fuck what they think.

Now what really pisses me off is when someone is trying to talk to me while I lift, or telling me to "no dude you gotta try it this way" It's like fuck off I came here to lift not listen to your shit.

What gym do you go to, OP?

I had two different gym memberships at the same time (one had free classes the other didn't) and the free class gym was full of stuck up bitchy ass rich people and I said fuck this and felt bad for almost abandoning my first gym. I vibe with everyone at Planet Fitness than any other place.

Also, the time of the day matters as well. I go at like 4am so there's no one at PF that early who fucks around.

I'm looking forward to using a gym again as I'm back in school now. I always found it to be a friendly atmosphere when I went before. You can get a membership even if you're not a student so that might be something to look into.

I've heard similar things about commercial gyms to what the OP describes though. People see it as a meat market/beach kind of scene and think that asserting dominance will win over mates. This is why women-only gyms are popular too, women often get similar unsolicited feedback on their fitness level if they don't appear to be in the best shape already, or unwanted sexual advances. I guess either you learn to brush it off somehow or find somewhere with a friendlier atmosphere.

Planet Fitness is lame though. They have all sorts of stupid rules. OP, look around for a smaller gym. They can be cheaper, and more tight knit, where nobody gives ya shit.

You can't drop weights, you can't grunt, you can't be intense. Being intense isn't being retarded. What's retarded is douchebags standing by you arms crossed if you breathe too loudly, and posters calling people lunkers. Fuck that, I'll work out where I can do it the way I want.

Fuck what other people think. Maybe think about making your own home gym though? :shrug: The bigger guys that talk shit about people who can't lift as much as them are just coverin up some shit they feel insecure about themselves.

Ive never experienced any lunk alarm going off or staff walking around making sure people aren't grunting or whatever. I'm sure it solely depends on location.

Location, location, location.

I prefer to work out at a gym where I can push my sets to failure, to where at the end of each set if all I can do is drop the weights, so be it. I prefer to work out at a gym where I can grunt if I want to, and get loud if I'm feeling good & that loudness pushes out an extra three reps. I prefer to be at a gym where I'm surrounded by people I know, all of whom are cool, all of whom will spot if necessary, all of whom will share tips, and all of whom will get pumped right with me & help build up my confidence.

I don't pay five times as much either. I studied Tae Kwon Do for over a decade, starting when I was a child. Stopping that was a huge mistake on my part. The gym I work out in is in the back of that studio. I pay $20 per month to owner of this school, a man that's known me for most of my life, and taught me some of the most important lessons that I've learned. He's flexible about when I pay, always has a smile, and always gets pumped when I'm lifting, cheering me on. I would much rather give him my money than any commercial gym. I don't care if PF is half the price. It's not worth to me. There is no where else I'd rather work out than this little gym that I go to. It's my therapy, it's my active meditation. It's where I go to center myself, and push myself further.
