Gym: Join the one near my work or near my home

[slackerinabox]

So I'm joining a gym soon and wonder which one to do. My co-workers currently go to the local NY Sports Club in Manhattan. It's affordable (relatively) and a few blocks away from my job so we can go as a group during our lunch break.

But my hot neighbor/friend invited me to be her work out buddy at our local/non-chain gym. She keeps on asking me, which is either nice or her calling me a fatty again and again, and the place is affordable, I'm just worried that I'll end up being self concious in front of a neighbor i'm attracted to.

Thoughts? Pictures of her to see why I'm a bit intimidated. She invites me out for physical activities all the time (last night for a hike)- she really must think i'm a chubster.

To answer an obvious question, no, i don't have a crush on her. She's a sweet and interesting yound lady but she's too old for me and such. Though she's still an attractive lady so sweating in front of her .. like a mule at that.. don't know if that will help or hurt my workout.

No-brainer...
Maybe you can then have other night activities, too...

"yound lady but she's too old for me" Huh? numbers please...

I'm not big on working out on my lunch break. Plus a guy like you could probably use all the experience he can get when interacting with females. :roll:

it's not a YAGT, i swear I don't want to date this girl, it's just about gym ettiquete really: would you join a gym knowing a hot girl would be there with you all the time? would that inspire you or what that intimidate you?

She's 29, I'm 25.. I'm as mature as a 19 year old, she's as mature as a 35 year old.

Yeah, who wants to get all sweaty and then go back to the office? If you're going to work up a sweat, shouldn't it be with a female?

Go for the one near to your home. Here's why:

1) It's closer
2) You spend the majority of nyour day with work colleagues. Don't spend any more, already!
3) Hot women in the gym make you work out harder
4) having a gym buddy is a good thing
5) Working out with people you work with will end up in some matcho fight to be the alpha male or soemthing. Be the beta male who goes to the gym with a hot chick rather than the testosterone-fueled alpha who flexes his abs/buns to show off to his (male) peers.
6) Hanging out with hot chicks is good for the ego.
7) Who knows, you may score with her, fatty.

In any given gym (generally) at any time there will be at least 1 hot girl (often times many more) you have to work out in the presence of. Get used to it since you are there to work out not hook up, it's a gym not a bar.

I vote for the gym near home as it is more convienent.

Join the gym and even out that lopsided stomach.

Eeeh.. no biggie. When I was 23 I was fooling around with a 30 year old who still wants some of my magic. It wouldn't work so well as a long term relationship, but as "buddies" it's sound. Go for gold/pink.

I wish you would eat yourself.

 

[Doctorweir]

Another vote for convenience...
But beware...if you do not intend to date the hot neighbor, prepare to leave the gym buddy relationship when you acquire your next gf...

 

[Turin39789]

whichever one you are more comfortable at/is most convienent/you are likely to go to regularly.

hahaha.. i never lie about women.. i didn't say I have a chance in HELL with this hot neighbor... in fact, I set her up with my svelter/older/hotter friends so, shut up. and I've probably scored more often than you have in the past month, but I hate macho bullsh1t talk like that. Just read my threads, they are rarely braggy and mostly admissions of my cluelessness...
thanks for listening.

dude, she is NOT TOO OLD for you.... you must not have a lot of self confidence. If a hot chick 5 yrs older than me wanted to hook up I'd have no problem with that. Some older women like younger men for obvious reasons.

Anyways my vote is the gym closer to your home. Screw working out with co-workers. Also, hanging out with a cutie can help you in your dating.... wingman for example. Having a hottie by your side at a bar makes you more attractive, so even if you don't want to shag her she can still be a good friend and help you with your game.

did you steal those pics from her myspace account?

She's not too old for me, she too mature.. But I barely know her, I was just stressing that this is not about whether I can score with her, just if I'd feel self concious working out next to a hottie.

I'm taking your advice - joining the gym near my home. I'll face my fear of being grossly sweaty around her... She's eastern european so she probably sweats as much as I do.. Actually, that's not possible.

dude go work out with her and hit that sh!t already tehre's no such thing as "too old for me" specially not when shes hot

 

[jdini76]

did she ever prove if she could dance for six hours straight?

 

[KillerCharlie]

If you go to the gym near work, you're limited to going right before or after work when it's most crowded. If you go to the home gym, you can pretty much go whenever. It's nice going on the off-hours and not having to wait to use weights or machines.

You need to join the gym that the hot woman is going to.

I don't even really see what there is to decide here. Close to home, close to hawtness... no-brainer. You need to start thinking with the wrong head.
