Is your gym gossip central

[fistfullofsteel]

Mine is and it makes me sick. There is even a cool crowd just like high school. It's kind of pathetic because they spend 2+ hours in the gym and it doesn't show.


O the good old days of hard core gyms!!! They are gone!!!

 

[Roadblock]

My gym isn´t thank god but the gym across the street (the most popular in town) is. The staff who works there knows everything about everyone, Who´s gay, who´s religious, who´s done this and that... I´ll never go over to the darkside! (but they do have more equipment though...)

 

[WODIN]

Nope...

You have to make your gym hardcore. Start snarling and farting during sets. Then scream at the mirror "Who da Man!?".

 

[fistfullofsteel]

you mean the pink spandex is out

 

[acuraman]

My gym is a gossip central everyone standing around shooting the crap while their other 3 friends do a set on the machine or bench I want Bastards

 

[Kahn]

I lift in my basement because my whole fucking town is gossip central. Small town, small minds.

 

[big4life]

That's why I wear headphones.

I don't care what they say, as long as I don't hear it.

Plus my workplace is the worst as far as gossip goes, so everything else pales in comparison.

My old gym was after my ex went and told EVERYBODY that I was a cheatin' ho so to divert attention from his own RETARDED behavior and so that people would feel sorry for him.

As for my current gym; I have been so humiliated and gossiped over by so many for so long that I could truly give a rat's ass what people THINK or SAY about me. There are only four people whose opinion's I truly value. They are my girls. Everybody else can kiss my rock hard ass.

The gym at the University of Del is filled with people who just stand around looking dumb. Most of them just come there cause they have nothing better to do while me and HighIntensity and our other friends have to steal wieghts, benches etc from them to get our damn workout done. They just stand around and take up space. Also me and HighIntensity are workout partners and we have been following this HARD CORE training routoune found in Arnolds Encyclopedia, well anyway its very demanding and now everyone after seeing us train really hard doing all these different excersises gossip saying we are on roids? This is the dumbest thing i have ever heard, just cause we train hard, intensly and follow a program they think we are juicers... SCrew that man they are just a bunch of wimps who are jealous of us cause we have motivation and desire. If they think we are on roids now they would wet themselves if me and HI actually did some juice. We would be huge, and shit on all the little posers there

peace

But did you cheat on him? I don't wanna be an asshole, just courious



As for my gym (it's actually a gym , not a 'fitness club' ) it's pretty much free from all that gossip and stuff, thank god. Unless they gossip and I just don't know about it

 

[Taps]

There are cliques at my gym, but I don't talk to anyone while I'm there so it doesn't matter to me.

It's kind of funny though -- every so often, some skinny dude will suddenly gain 30 lbs in 6 weeks, and then shrink back down in a month. There's all kinds of whispering about "those evil steriods" when that happens. lol

 

[dragonmona]

I voted no on the poll and then got to thinking.......

When I am at the gym at 5AM every day I don't talk to anyone and they don't talk to me. We are all there for one reason....getting our pump on.

At 6PM the same gym is a meat rack where the rats travel in packs.

I stick to 5AM

ps bikinimom,
Good for you !!!

 

[Busterball]

it sucks

 

[danielson]

no, thankfully

they seem to all be friendly in the weights section at least, only talk to each other between sets and even then not that often and crucially

most keep their distance from people lifting weights......ahhhh...bliss

downside is the roof leaks and all the weights are getting rusty and cleared away less and less but what the hey.


downside is the people at the kiosk. friendly but its always worrying when some guy whos like 21 or somehing flirting with a very young looking girl and not paying any attention to whats up in the gym

 

[PinK233]

Yes....I train at Bally's so there are groups of housewives in their spandex chatting it up all the time....lots of prissy chicks there too that just do a few crunches and 10 minutes on the treadmill and call that a workout....today there was some "full-makeup, perfect hair" chick laying on the ab bench talking on the cell phone!! Just laying there chatting it up, while people are waiting for the damn thing....is that necessary??

 

[HighIntensity]

i usally lift in war paint, tassles and no shirt so i am rarely approached

 

[3Vandoo]

I workout at two gyms one in ont, one in my hometown.

and the one in my hometown is not really a gossip central but just a show off places,
really piss me off.

 

[theoak01]

first off bmom would never do that kind of shit,i know her a lil from here and she is to kind

now to answer the original q yes my gym is that way,the front desk people gossip,the manager gossip,and people stand around on phones and all kinds of shit,i just go in lift and get out,i told off a pretty big guy one day for standing around talking and i asked to use a flat bench and he snapped,im like wow buddy,then i go to find the other flat bench and his shit is piled all on it,fucking asshole

 

[macDbol]

thats why i dont go to a gym,,i just have my purple dumbells under my bed

 

[FletchNJ]

Yes big time, the morning crew is the 45 and over crowd talking about where their kids are going to college, blah blah... The night crowd is even worst, people sitting around on all the machines and benches complaining about their jobs. Maybe it's time to find a new gym

Great idea...I am definitely going to try that during my next workout
