What Are Your Gym/Fitness/Routine Moans?

Agreed largely, though I must say that having been visiting gyms for donkeys years, it used to be the case that blokes didn't bother to cover up much. In recent times there seems to have been increased modesty.

Internet pr0n. Every bloke on t'Internets has a massive cock so normals probably feel inadequate.

I know we're all blokes, but I really don't need to see all your bits dangling about while you check out yourself in the mirror.

Does this really bother people?

I couldn't give a hoot, tbh. If folk want to walk about the changing rooms starkers, it doesn't bother me.

Went to the gym earlier, unloaded 2x20kg plates from the bar on the decline bench press and replaced with 4x5kg plates to warm up, leaving the 20s leant against the frame. Halfway through my set, cheeky fker strolls over and robs one of the 20kg plates!

I remove all the 5s and replace them with 15s, leaving the 5s leaning against the frame. The fker only goes and nicks 2 of the 5s when I'm halfway through again!!

Is it just me or would most people not even dream of nicking plates leaning against the bench that someone is on, not so much as eye contact never mind a quick "are you going to be using these mate?".

wker.

I understand your frustration, I have had that happen. The trouble is, gym etiquette is so poor with tts not putting away plates, sometimes it's a necessity to get the right plate when you can see one.
It wouldn't be my first choice, but I have taken plates that are leaning against a station that someone is using, I do always try and gauge the likelihood of them being used though, and will normally ask if it's suitable.

Something that has irked me in the past two weeks is people walking behind me while I've been squatting or deadlifting. Sometimes I'm pretty spent and may take a step back, missed one stupid by inches the other day.

That's what REALLY fked me off though: there were 20kg plates on the actual stand thing no more than about 5 steps away!!

I'd love to, but for some of us it's more of a necessity to keep a towel on. I'd rather not be causing structural damage or knocking someone over when I turn around.

You seem to be suggesting you get an erection when you're in the men's changing room.

That ^^^^ is why I work out in my garage. No one to wait for, no one to nick plates... only problem I get is having to wear gloves in the winter when its -1 in there...lol

[MrBarry123]

I've only been at my current gym for the past couple of weeks however it's quite a lovely place - very impressed.

No moans from me.

[Centurion07]

Give it time....

[MrBarry123]

Yep, I'm sure that'll be the case. I certainly developed gripes with the last two gyms I have been a member of.

[LordGrover]

My primary moan of late is the feckless tt that is I.

Training has been at best sporadic - no-one else to blame except me being a lazy-arsed shirker. FFS. Sort it out!

the gym I go to is inhabited by clowns in those cllothes, unfortunately a few of them set up a business importing them in the locality so they are treated like some sort of god like creatures. Wrapped R8s and i8s parked badly with various hangers on following them around doing beach weights wearing their wares.

Are you referring to the gymshark owners?!

Over priced exercise clothes, never understood it!!

Its big money though. I know two people now making a good living off the back of re-selling some weirdly shaped bits of material originally made in Indonesia with a logo steamed on to it (or if you want to spend more money, embroidered). Absolutely nuts.

They have all sorts, sweat pants, t-shirts, those stringy vests and the goofy looking trucker caps. Honestly, some people come to the gym looking like they're in a fashion show!
