Being 200lbs and working for a gym kind of defeats the purpose of working there, no? There used to always be good looking girls working the desk. Then all of a sudden a couple of months ago they were gone overnight and it’s always that one chick that looks like miss piggie. I don’t know what happened. :shrug: ---

Ha. My mom goes to Best Fitness. You guys work out with my mom. HA. The other day I went to the gym and there was a group of like middle schoolers/freshman just hanging out there. Just sitting, talking, and climbing on the shit like it was a fucking jungle gym. That angers me. ---

To the teenage girl at world in Hamburg around 3:00pm… Thank you. You had the shortest shorts I had ever seen on anyone in a gym. You were most likely 17, 18 TOPS. You were hot and decided to do hamstring curls and lay on the machine for 5 min while you only did 2 sets. The view of your smoking hot ass hanging out of those shorts made that 5 min fly by. ---

Most stupid thing I ever saw,was, at Worlds Gym…Hamburg. Some kid was in a full on sprint (like 13 mph) on the treadmill next to me. He rolls his ankle,bites the front of the treadmill where the controls are, and falls on the belt,which launches him into the wall behind the treadmill. And to add insult to injury, his ipod,which was sitting on the tray, falls off and hits him when he’s laying against the wall. Obviously the kid was hurt,but his ego hurt so much more, he got up, limped away and grabbed his keys and left. Fucker ruined my work out because I couldn’t stop laughing. ---

1. People who work out in “groups” and do a circle jerk. There are other people in the gym who would like to use the equipment during your conversations on how you think you’re huge because you can lift 150lbs on the bench press. 2. +1 on the grunting and screaming like you’re doing an olympic weight lifting record. 3. People who boast about having a “personal trainer.” Newsflash, you can learn the things they are teaching you for free instead of paying them $30 per hour. 4. Back to the circle jerk folks…give us people who actually lift heavy weight some space while you spot your buddy with his 100lb bench press. Because if I drop the bar, Im going to drop it behind my head and on your legs. ---

Hey dude who was showing his other three bros how to do that thing on the high cable pulley: I saw it tweeted by Men’s Health that same day too. You showed your buddies how to do it the wrong way. Your grip was backwards and thus the entire thing was done wrong. Hey bro with a big upper body and chicken legs who asked to work in with me while I was deadlifting: No problemo, but why’d you only do it once and then go do squats with your party of 4? How come you put 290 pounds on the bar for your squats and then proceeded to wiggle up and down 6" really fast instead of doing squats? Is that how you bench? If you did it right you wouldn’t have toothpics sticking out of your baggy shorts. Fucking dudes who look like upside down weeble wobbles. :picard: ---

Watching cougars barely move on the elliptical as they scream at their children climbing all over everything has become the highlight of my gym visits. My gym has childcare, I do not understand why people continue to allow their children to parade around the gym. ---
