Keep at it mate.
My gym has a ladies only section. Gyms should have an overweihht section. So many people like yourself choose not to go to a gym for that very reason.

I hate the posers that flex and check themselves out. Wankers.

most gyms have a ladies section but they do it so they don't have to be bothered by men perving/fighting for the machines with them

a fat section would be essentially highlighting they are fat and would be drawing attention to their bodyshape, the very thing a fat person doesn't want when at the gym.

don't go into business

I personally love seeing 'fat' and older people at the gym, it motivates me to work even harder, I see them giving their all and making the effort and I think if they can put in the work then I've got no excuses.

Thanks for the tip.

They don't need the fat section to highlight they're fat. Eyes can do that. I know a few fat people that don't go to gyms because they're fat. It's sad.

Maybe they should see a psych first before attempting a gym.

Love-me-do fakes. There's a broad at our gym, she's botoxed, plastic fantastic, and thinks her you know what doesn't stink. But she's got a head like a ten pin bowling ball. She comes into the gym and deadset spends 20 minutes going around trying to pick up dudes rather than doing any exercise.

Another one that is frustrating is trainers who only have eyes for the hot broads - they desperately want to help them and give them tips but then hide behind the desk any other time. I saw it this afternoon in action, and you could just tell the girl won't be back because of the incessant perving.

I just like to get in there, put the iPod on, ignore everyone else and focus and do my thing.

is an upstairs room of a place i just recently joined (getting back in it fulltime for the first time in awhile). Full of misc stuff (sleds, speed bike, kettle bells etc). Is a heavy rope which i like using (the big long 10m long ones you grab each end of and is wrapped around something). Only one person up there when i went up and in about 80m2 was laying on her towel directly in front of the heavy rope. Asked if she minds moving and she refused to. Could seirously fit 50 people laying down in that room and were the only two in it but she couldn't possibly move her towel from that spot.

This would be the same person that if you were the only person in the cinema would come and sit directly in front of you just because it makes no sense whatsoever

People who tie up 10 pieces of equipment doing a circuit and get the dirts if you ask to work in.

Also PTs.

Another thing I used to hate was all the muscle bound blokes who would stand around and intimidate everyone who wasn't in their clique with their presence. The gym I used to go to, the live in muscle bound jack offs used to laugh at fellas who were chubby or just trying to have a go. If I were the owner of the gym I'd have asked them to leave and never come back. God knows how many peoples' confidence those merkins shot down.

Couple that with the dickheads who mortgage machines with their towels when they aren't using them which I reckon just about anyone who goes to a gym seems to encounter.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Those guys who leave the equipment all sweaty

Or the ones you keep making awkward eye contact with - you know, your just scanning the room and notice someone is looking at you, halfway through your rep you scan and they're still looking at you....creepy

Couldn't agree more.

If it astounds them that normal everyday people who actually need the gym more than they do are training, perhaps they should f*ck off and sign up with Gold's.

Amen.

Especially when they chuck their towel on the machine, then go and have a 10 minute yack with their mates about creatine and f*cking protein powders.

Add to that, the same merkins who use two machines at once.

For the record I have literally never seen a muscle bound guy at the gym laugh at a fatty. I thought that was just an excuse fatties made to avoid working out.

I did see a musclehead guy blow up at some dumb kid in a gym in Campbelltown back in the day for leaving dumbbells on the floor. Was pretty amusing/weird. I know its annoying if people don't pick up the weights but its best met with an annoyed eyeroll.

Was at the gym yesterday afternoon at about 3:30pm, it's not quite peak hour but it usually starts getting abit busier and equipment starts becoming abit more scarce. After yesterday's session I'm reminded of why I love training late at night (usually train around 10pm), douchebags on their phones everywhere in the afternoon. One good thing about late night sessions is not only are there way less people but people usually aren't having long winded phone conversations at that hour.

What about guys whose workout consists 90% of playing with their phones and 10% of disinterested dumbbell curls with a girls weight.

And grunters!!!!

It's not so much the laughing. I must admit I only saw that twice and one of those was due to incorrect use of equipment (laugh it up, he's doing it wrong, but FFS he's having a go,) it was moreso the intimidating standing over people, moving around in their little pack and harassing others over equipment like they had a shares in the f**king place.

I personally don't carry my phone with me, hate being weighted down by anything, nothing against guys who carry their phones as MP3 players but then you get the snap chat, phone call, SMS crew
