I Hate This Time Of Year In The Gym

Unless youre hogging the squat rack or bench area on your phone ,then we are staring thinking youre a douche.

If that doesn’t apply to you, keep on striving man(or woman)

Opposite situation for me, I train at the University gym in my city, absolutely dead in January with everyone revising for their first term exams. Its beautiful.

Yes this is a rough time of the year for the regulars. My main gym is a large company gym where the rate averages $10 per month. People are packed in there at this time of the year but I realize as a business person that only a small percentage of the people who sign up actually show up on a regular basis. Most will clear out by the first candy holiday(valentines) and we regulars need their dues to help supplement our frequent usage. So by all means sign them all up and I appreciate their support.

LOL!

I don’t know, it just seems that way. I’m pretty vascular in the shoulders and arms and it seems like they stare at the “old man with the veins”! :joy:

They could be staring at you because you keep looking at them.

I Do Not. LOL I am most shy guy there. Don’t look at anybody, don’t talk to anybody

Then how do you know they are looking at you and wondering these things?

i see what you did there jake gyllenhaal GIF

Then I would REALLY wonder why that weird old guy who never talks to anyone keeps looking at me in the mirror.

Pffft. I look at everyone and I judge.

Yeah, I always find those posts where people say “don’t worry about it, nobody is looking at you” kinda funny. I am looking at and judging all you sumbitches.

I was expecting the new year to be. Yay but it hasn’t happened at my gym. I do train fairly late in the evening but so far January has been pretty empty. This may be in part to the 40+ degree C days and the smoky air from all the fires keeping people away. !!

You’re not helping…

Not me. Went last night at 6 and it was packed. These days I’m doing a total body (lightweight and high volume) workout and thankfully, it allows me a ton of flexibility in what I can do. I don’t have to wait for a certain machine.

Having seen your training, I wonder there aren’t two.

That sucks, time to train at odd hours or find a new gym
