I hate the gym in January (1 Viewer)

Not sure it's so much resolution people as people who ate too much over the holidays looking to get rid of what they put on. I find gyms nauseating, but I know my sister and brother in law both have memberships and generally only go if weather has been bad for a few days, but after the holidays they're in there before or after work a few times a week.

 
I go to a pretty small gym. The post-Thanksgiving surge was bad enough, so I'm betting this week and the next are worse.

What bothers me isn't so much that there are more people in the gym; that's annoying but I can handle it. It's that the resolutionists or whatever they are have little or no gym etiquette. They come in and trash the place, then they're back to sitting on their couches and eating chocolate eggs within a couple weeks.

I eat my chocolate eggs while on the stairmaster.
 
I've solved this problem. Cancelled my gym membership and do all of my cardio outside now. If I need to do any strength training, I do it in my back yard with freeweights.

 
Thinking about heading over right now just to blow dry my balls.
Ahhhh...that was nice. Like a warm hug...for my balls.
Classic.
Brilliant! One great thing about getting older is stop giving a #### about what others think.
I don't care what others think BUT I don't want to see your johnson rod and ball bearings flapping about so I try to give the same courtesy. :shrug:

Then stop looking at my penis and balls.ETA: The filter knocks out esticles-tay? Really?

A bunch of us play basketball at the gym (almost) every day at lunch. A bunch of people were late because they couldn't find parking. It was REALLY packed today, and lots of people signing up. Here we go again.

Out by his 86 Camaro wearing his sleeveless Skynard t-shirt and short shorts with tube socks.
 
Good luck to anyone thinking about hitting the gym after work today. 5-8pm should be an absolute nightmare.

 
I'll be heading over to the gym in about a half hour or so. It shouldn't be too bad today, but it's going to be a zoo when students get back to campus next week.

 
It is a perfect storm of new year resolution people (who will walk on the treadmill for an hour or do 1/2 hour worth of curls and then immediately head to the McDonald's drive-thru to reward themselves)and high school and college kids on break right now.

 
Oh the parking....i hate this time if year....
Yup. There's nothing worse than being forced to walk an extra couple hundred feet on your way to the gym.
I love the people that use their handicap parking tags to park close to the gym and have no physical ailments. Probably the same folks that take the elevator at the gym and immediately hit the stairmaster/treadmill.
 
Are all the resolution people giving up this year before they even start due to the Mayan end of world prophecy? I went to the gym last night for the first time this year and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually less busy than normal.

Do Mayans blow dry their pouch after doing cardio?

I've been going at lunch to avoid these types but haven't noticed a big change in the crowds either. Maybe they're opting for the Crossfit/Bootcamp stuff? If so, :thumbup:

...and Kinect/Wii/Move exercise games.
 
My gym is a madhouse. I'm firmly in the "don't complain" camp. Last year, that was me. But the chances of me getting an elliptical or treadmill after work are about 0% right now. I'm pretty much doing group exercise (spinning class, cardio kickboxing, whatever) out of necessity.
