Dang thats F*ed up man. Try to go the yellow pages and find another gym.
T-Nation needs to start a chain of gyms around the country.
At these gyms none of this shite happens.
New members are given a list of rules to read and follow.
There is a store there that stocks Biotest supplements.
New gyms are opened by individual franchisee’s
There is an internet room with free connections to T-Nation, and you can pay to print articles in high quality colour.
Members can attend seminars cheap.
Locals who have never heard of T-Nation suddenly learn how to lift weights and - loh and behold - actually lift some.
Need I go on…?

Ahh. Leave it to bushy to come up with an absolute piece of inspired brilliance. Nicely done!
Some thoughts…
Piss on the equipment to ‘mark’ your territory.
Interrupt them mid conversation by saying “Excuse me cunt, I need to finish my set”
Masturbate on the seat before you move on
…okay, not viable options, I understand.
However, you ARE a paying member just as they are. The difference being, you’ll be there next month still paying your membership, whereas the majority of them won’t be…(let’s be realistic, the ‘group’ workout diva’s don’t normally stay committed to long). Bring this to the attention of the management.
Hopefully, they will, at the very least, make mention to the class about having a little respect for other gym members.
Otherwise, it’s time to get ‘midievil’ and fuck with the program (on principle alone).
Just a thought or two from someone whose seen this before.
Make them feel really awkward…just wear something like some skin-tight bicycle shorts and just stand there with your hips thrust forward at them while you stare at their saggy tits and grin.
How long can they possibly keep this up? I bet another month and they start dropping like flies. They dont seem very dedicated. Btw,you can just scream “LIGHTWEIGHT!!!” in their faces while doing curls.
get a sled with an extremely long rope and walk around them in a circle, then when they are tied up, run away with the sled still attached. It will be like a rodeo.
Do deadlifts and grunt really loud, close to screaming.
Make it look like it is snowing with chalk.
Eat some bad food and gas the place. DO NOT FORGET YOUR MASK.
Don’t shower…
Make a picnic in the weights area, say you are eating while lifting and you payed to do this.
Tell them that if the dumbbell is bigger then there face, they have cancer. Then tell them they got to size while doing curls.
Act retarded.
Run in the weights area. Say its wind sprints to the squat rack day.
Set up deadlifting stations all over the gym, then when they group, you interupt. If they get smart, tell them you are drop setting.
Ask them to get you some Miccy D’s when they do, then realize they don’t work there.
Invade the circle, talking about how you are going to kill everybody.
Get on all fours and walk like a dog. Then pretending to sniff the ground, then walk over to them, sniff, and whimper and walk away.
Place a cheeseburger under about 5 dumbbells, it will be impossible for them to get it, because they don’t lift weights.
make a circle of salt around them, telling them it will keep them witches trapped.
Burp really loud.
Play your with armpit hair.
Rub your belly button while talking to yourself.

I plan on opening a gym.
I would LOVE to be able to use/start a T-Nation Gym franchise where Biotest supplements are sold exclusively, and the theme was one made by this site.
That would be my dream business.

Let us know where we can sign up. 
I’ll tell you what you got to do, you gotta declare war! Im talkin wake up at 6 am every morning gather a group of friends and take up all the hip abducter machines and all the machines that have anything to do with abbs.
You can all do a circuit of 100 rep setts with the lightiest weight and if any one asks you to use one you can say you are toneing and you only have 15 more setts to do.
And when your done with that get all the dumbells from 2.5’s to 30’s and say your doing giant setts if any one asks to use a pair.

Squeeze any blackheads or zits while using the mirrors. Ask someone if they can get that hard to reach blackhead.
Fart a lot as suggested. Basically gross behavior.

they time their lifting so when suzie my husband works
The first time I read this, I thought you had a husband named Suzie who works at the gym.
But yeah, they should at least teach them some etiquette. The manager has to cater to them because they will get more moo cows from the rotary club or coffee morning group to sign up, prepay memberships, and never come back. It sucks I know, but that’s business.[/quote]
At least teach them etiquette?
Taking up a piece of equipment when not even using them thing has nothing to do with gym etiquette, but just being rude in general. These types of people will behave like this no matter where they are. It sounds like these people think the other people and maybe even the entire world owe them something.
Ironicly they are probably complaining they can’t lose weight but don’t even get off their fat lazy ass to get their donut and coffee in the morning, but instead use the drive-thru. Wow, run on sentance or what.

The not very dedicated or “new years” type crowd is a problem that doesn’t go away.
There are always people that want this, and want that, but do not want to do the work for it. As one leaves, there will be one to take their place. If this didn’t happen, I imagine a lot of these gyms wouldn’t stay in buisness. There isn’t enough T-Nation and Arnold wannabe’s who are actually willing to do the work.

Well, thankfully Capital Letters have yet to become common. wink

No shit. What part of Texas are we talking about, Addison? The Heights or River Oaks of Houston? University area Dallas?
Other than the aneurism-inducing core situation, all replies have been the funniest LOFL shit I’ve read in months. Thank you all.

You could try to be a little more encouraging to these women given that the trainers are not getting the job done.
Things like a smack on the ass and a “nice set sugartits” a la Mel Gibson would be a nice start.

FYI, Best Buy and probably most other computer stores sell iron on transfers that you can run through most printers.
