Me and the two guys who went with me all had problems breathing in there and also our fingers and faces were tingling when we got out.

And what's with all the naked older guys in the locker room. I came in to put my stuff in a locker, worked out for an hour, came back, and they were still naked sitting around on the benches. Does this happen at all gyms?

I almost am jealous that the biggest problem is people hanging around on the benches. At my gym, there's this blind guy who is apparently also mostly deaf. Unlike other blind folks at the gym (there are 2 others I am aware of), he can't navigate worth a crap and leaves his clothes strewn about the floor in front of the lockers. He feels around with his hands. To see if a machine is open he gropes the area where someone would sit for about 5 seconds. Apparently the instant he touches someone, he's still not sure. He also walks around with a radio blasting well beyond normal volume right up to his ear.
