The gym where I go is a good sized, well equipped gym, so normally the time of day I go no problem plenty of free weights, huge area for free weight workouts lots of benchs, racks, plates, you get the point, same for cable and machine workout area. Still theres times its packed, packed! Very few times do you see conflict over equipment anything, lots of big ol boys lift here lots of juicers, lots of athletes, lots of women and lots of kids and newbs, sometimes alittle encouragement to the newbs and kids about unloading and not standing around texting each other, but never drama over oh you took my whatever,all gyms, no matter how big or small have guys who everybody looks at as " the dudes" and if the " dudes" are right acting, and the staff takes pride in their place, and people have enough sense , you can get a great workout( tear the fucking place apart) and stress your muscles not your nerves.
