People at Your Gym

I’m the guy who you see only maybe once a week or once every two weeks. People may think that I’m not disciplined but in actuality I rotate through several “McGyms” (24 Hour Fitness) since I’m in sales and work out during lunch. I don’t know where I’ll find myself on any given day in southern California.

In my head I’ll measure the “bro” factor in one location as opposed to another. It’s the trainers that give me the most entertainment. You have your fat/ skinny trainers. The ones that have their hands all over their female clients. And the ones who like to have their clients do curls at the squat rack.

It’s a pretty interesting social experiment.

I need mine as it has my program on it (easier than carrying round a notebook). I may look like im texting briefly but im actually hard at work.

Did you’all forget the dumbass PT’s and Gym owners who bitch because you make too much noise while doing Deads? They’re the same ones who’ll walk too close past you, in deep conversaion, while you’re cranking out some serious Power Cleans!

And the 20 somethings that wear all that hip-hop shit, including bling, with thier hats on crooked? And basketball shorts 5 times too big, that spend most of their time chatting with the other posers?

I’m cool with all the others.

Ok, that’s legit. I bet if you were on a 60 sec rest, you wouldn’t answer it though…

I mainly see people talking on theirs.

I bring mine with me but I also get paid two bucks a minute to take the calls. I go out to the car to take the call if it rings though.

OK, I stand corrected. There are apparently a few other professions that may need access to a cell phone during a workout. :slight_smile:

I think he is trapped under there. Someone should probably spot him. ha

I was finishing up some work in the cage this morning, a guy walked in and gave me that “look” - you know the one, where you can tell he wants to use whatever equipment you’re on. I finished the set, stripped my barbell, and went to do some dips.

He immediately started curling in the cage. I hate him. :-)[/quote]

Yeah, I got that this week. I’m new to the gym so I was trying to be particularly sensitive, but when the dude didn’t even put weights on, was curling the bar, I got a little pissed.

Just curious, what do you do that you make $2 a minute? Sorry to say, all my feeble brain can come up with is “phone sex operator.”

Winner!

I bring my phone in for two reasons: 1) I keep my workout log in my phone, and 2) So I can take pictures of people being douchebags.

The attached picture shows my friend “Glory Days” who always wears a football jersey tucked into shorts while using the elliptical (different jerseys, different teams, but always something), next to his friend who wore bright purple metallic spandex capris. It wasn’t pretty.

On his CELL PHONE, no less!

Cell phones… I’m just now back in a commercial gym, after years of doing all my training at home and the cell phone usage is really pissing me off. Sitting on a box in the squat cage, oblivious to the people around them who need the equipment, yakking their little heads off… LOUDLY. That’s why the only time I’m in the place is when there’s hardly anyone around. Otherwise, my head would explode.

So your just about to do a weighted push up and your phone rings yeah? There really is only one logical thing to do right? RIGHT??? Obviously not.

He spoke on his phone for 5 mins like that…shakes head

I laughed a little.

And then i cried a little. [/quote]

oh hey what you doing?

nothin…just hunched over with a 45 on my back

a 45?

yeah im at the gym with a 45 pound plate on my back, it’s supposed to work my core, i think i feel it

there’s this guy im assuming is gay at my gym who runs on the treadmill and flails his arms around, funniest fucking thing.

theres another guy who wears a baggy t-shirt with bike shorts. i dont get it, i dont want to. its just creepy.

And, if I can make $120 bucks an hour as a phone sex operator, how do I sign up???

That’s pretty close actually. I run a phone line as one aspect of my domination work. So, when a guy calls me at the gym it usually goes like this:

“What the fuck do you want faggot? My workout schedule is clearly listed on my blog, why the fuck are you bothering me.”

" whimper, I’m sorry, it said 3…"

“What said 3 you sorry ass excuse for a man, speak the fuck up queer bait!”

“Your blog said 3… it’s 4 now…”

“Are you trying to say I can’t tell time?”

“NO, NO, I’m sorry.”

“Some of us don’t want to be fat ass piece of shit losers like you are. Why don’t you go fondle your floppy man titties you gross shit.”

cries I am a loser… FAP FAP FAP”

Then I just go back into the gym and sit the phone down while I continue my workout. They usually hang up when they’re done.

The Slutty receptionist

She flirts with every single guy as he scans his card (especially the married ones). She is lazy, doesn’t show up on time, gets one of the trainers to fold the towels, DOESN’T WORK OUT. If you need to speak to someone about billing, she calls the manager who reminds her that the accounting department’s phone number is taped to the inside of the counter - right in front of her face. Keeps her job because she fucks the manager. She isn’t THAT hot - she has a nice set of tits and that’s about it (she’s 22 so that shit’ll be down by her knees in ten years) LOL[/quote]

Reading between the lines…you soooo wanna bang her!!

This is hilarious. Does it help that you’re all pumped up from your work out? Sounds like you’re making some decent money to boss men around.

:slight_smile:

Here in Ireland we’ve got a few,don’t know whether they’ve been mentioned already.

The Eastern Europeans:Make up about 75% of the male gym goers in any decent gym in the country.Tend to have gigantic upper bodies due to years of steroid abuse since the age of 15,and tiny little fucking legs.

Tend to be relatively strong and train hard,but not as strong as they look.They look scary as fuck,often like neo nazis,but are generally approachable and nice guys once you talk to them.They live for pumping iron.1 in 5 tend to have an incredibly hot gf/wife who trains with them.I enjoy when they come along.

The GAA heads:They play gaelic games,the national sports of our country.They come in their GAA gear and think they’re the shit because they’re usually quite good at their particular sport,but are always skinny bastards who lift fuck all but still think they’re the shit.

They have an undeserved air of cockiness about them which makes them look retarded.I enjoy jumping in on sets with them and lifting twice as much as them.

The Skinny Bastard Students:I train in a University gym(during the rugby off season),and see this kind alot.They never enter the free weights section of the gym and stick solely to the pec deck,lat pulldown,leg curl and crunch machines.They think they’re getting work done but really look pathetic and clueless.They are the same size now as they have always been,and always will be.

The Sprinters:Females,who are incredibly hot and that I can have nothing bad to say about whatsoever.It’s a pleasure to train in the same gym as them.
