Pet hates in gyms

[Cliffhanger]

You can come workout at mine DL my uncle bought all these weights from a gym that was closing down years ago, they're still in garage, so much weights.

Also there's nothing wrong with a bit of grunting, when I climb I grunt something hard I grunt, but not ugly grunting or Sharapova grunting.

Next time I'm in Sydney I'll come show you what's what... And then maybe we'll work out :lol:

I seriously think this bloke thought he was in his own private gym, oh and I forgot to mention the best part, the f**king dope was wearing thongs ffs! I thought enclosed footwear in a gym was just common sense

My dog took a shit right underneath my squat rack tonight

I cleaned it up but my whole session still had the faint odour of grogan hanging around

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but I've got a family member who's locked into a 12 month deal with a gym (and who almost never goes).

Four months to go I think.

Any ideas how to get them out of it? (Or transfer it to another family member?)

I know a few who have wriggled out of similar contracts, maybe saying they have a long term injury or they are moving interstate could get them out of it?

They lock you in tight, almost impossible to get out of it, you may be able to freeze it so you only pay half of it for the remaining 4 months.

Their contracts sure are tight. I managed to wriggle out of mine a few years ago. I was changing jobs and moving out of the CBD. There was no franchise close enough to my new work so I cancelled my membership. I shit you not, I had an 'exit interview' and several discussions with managers who pleaded with me to stay. Very weird and awkward. Like trying to break up with a crazy girl who just might flip the f**k out and stab you in the neck with a pen.

Oh and yeah, I told them I was moving overseas. For work. I made up a monstrous set of lies.

 

[adamkungl]

Wow. Note to self - never join a contract gym.

 

[ceagle]

Also my gym automatically extended my contract another 12 months without telling me.

f**kers

 

[Rhino_NQ]

i managed to get a per month contract at fitness first. Its a bit more a month then a 6 or 12 but i will most likely be off again before that ends so its alright.

They definately know how to sting you

My gym has a fortnightly membership. Cancel any time. No worries.

That's easy. There is a guy at my gym that is always wearing TapouT gear and he is constantly singing out loud. It was pretty funny the first time, since he has a very bad voice, but every single time he is on a machine, he has sung "Rolling in the Deep" and "Y.M.C.A.". I kid you not, it gets pretty annoying. Other than that, I hate it when people are inconsiderate enough to not wipe the benches or machines after they use them. As well as people leaving weights on the floor or wherever. That's about it.

Asian girl that goes early in the mornings is getting into a habit of basing herself dangerously close to the battle rope with a set of dumbells and some ab gear and pretty much stays there for a godo half hour doin a circuit when there is a heap of room on the floor that won't involve me smaching her with a 40kg rope.

tearing the ass out of your shorts while doing deadlifts this morning

 

[beave]

but you have such a hot ass............. hahaha, I can't back that up!

 

[macavity]

Getting to the stage where I am considering changing to another gym just to get away from the inconsiderate d-bags at my current gym.

New record today - morning peak period and this puckwit commandeers a bench and olympic bar, another olympic bar (took it from the power rack for bent over bar rows), an adjustable bench, and five (yes, five) sets of dumbells... and about 1/5 of the total floor space of the weights area, and proceeds to set himself up a nice little circuit. Meanwhile, there is a constant line of people waiting to use each of the other bench and rack, and everyone else scrambling for dumbells.

Even worse are the PTs there - will literally kick people off equipment if they want their fat housewife clients to have a go on it.

The d-bag who refused me a spot a few weeks ago was doing curls in the power rack today too.

I nearly lost my shit. Deep breaths and all that.

 

[aqua_duck]

That sounds like the typical gym in Bankstown at about 4-5pm when all the builders, tradies and labourers get in

 

[Rhino_NQ]

but you have such a hot ass............. hahaha, I can't back that up!

Just a tad bit concerning beave, just a tad

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Saw a guy getting spotted on the lat pull down machine yesterday. Was pretty much the ultimate in unnecessary spottage.

 

[Pete Cash]

I hog the power cage a bit but noone ever wants to use it....

Its always completely empty.

 

[aargon]

Guys using the hair dryer to blow dry their pubic hair. Thats my main pet hate.

Oh, and guys walking around the changing room completely butt naked, like their tarzan king of the jungle or something. Yeah, I can see you've got a big dick, now can you please put it away?? !!!
