Sandals and flipflops - who cares? They learn when they drop something or stub their toe on something.
Sugary Caffeine drinks - so what? A gym is not only to lose weight, they might want to gain weight.
Never wipe their sweat off the machines - uhh that's what concerns you? You realize that almost all transfer of disease comes from hand to face contact. What are you doing, licking the seat or something? I would be more concerned about wiping the parts where my hands touch. Your butt ain't gonna suddenly get HIV because someone sweated on the seat before you.
Wearing bazillion layers of clothing? They are cold and want to get hot or they just want to sweat as much as possible to lose water. Why does it even matter?

Stuff like this concerns you? Jeez, I have a list of complaints that trump yours.
People hogging the squat rack to do curls.
People hogging a rack or machine and take huge breaks (8+ minutes) but still won't let people work in between.
People not re-racking their weights.
People who have very bad hygiene , that includes females. If I can smell you from 10 feet away, GTFO of my gym!!!! I can't exercise if I'm gagging every 5 seconds.

20 oz/larger is the new minimum requirement now. Please move back to the rookie section. :)

What kind of pussy are you guys? At least lift a bomber daily...

In the United States, large bottles are 22 U.S. fl oz (650.6 ml; 22.9 imp fl oz) (colloquially called a "bomber"); the European and Australian standard large bottle is 750-milliliter (25.4 U.S. fl oz; 26.4 imp fl oz).

You forget we have plenty (well, for a site mostly based in the U.S.) of members from the UK, and England specifically, so you may want to retract that invitation. :D

Although if it's Ian Cutress maybe you could get him to bring by some sweet, sweet reviewer hardware... hmmmm...

I go gym 3-4 times a week for 1 hour and every freaking time I always see someone wearing flip flops and sandals in the gym. What's up with that? Are they trying to show off their toe muscles or something? I am not done yet... why the ********************* are you taking red bull and monster energy drinks with you? Are you dumb? If I'm not mistaken people go to the gym to lose weight, stay fit and build muscle etc so why the ***** are you drinking 20 teaspoons of diabetuscozade?

I swear to god men are dumb as hell.

Oh and why do men never wipe the sweat of the machines? WOOOOOOOOOOOW that is why I never touch the machines because the seat and back are full of fungus and diseases.

Surely I'm not the only person witnessing this.

FYI I do cardio and yogo class and I have my own matt I ain't got time to sit on someones dirty ass yoga matt. Disgusting. Disgusting men. :mad::mad::mad:


edit - I forgot to add. WHY the HELL do I sometimes see men wearing COATS and 9000000 layers of clothing???????????? ARE YOU REALLY THAT COLD????????????? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dumbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
Never touches equipment and brings own mat. Why, exactly, do you go to the gym?

If someone actually does decide to see me I am just saying hi I am not going to Mcdonalds with you or have dinner or whatever you creeps have in mind. I already told the world my work location and I am curious who actually turns up. I hope no one turns up. That 1% chance always scares me. :eek:

and who the hell is Ian Cutress lol

Running machine and yogo. Yoga class is 45mins and after I go on treadmill hill walk for 15mins or more and then home time.

1) women are guilty of not wiping off equipment just as much as men are, and your vag sweat is just as gross as our ass sweat

2) no they are not cold, they are wearing more layers to force themselves to sweat more, to lose water weight - this is not a new concept

What I don't get is people who f*ck with their phones for 15+ minutes in between sets.
Dude, sh*t or get off the pot!

Gyms like Planet Fitness can charge that low because they are designed for most people to not actually use their gym. If you do, though, it's a good value for sure.

Yep. $10 a month is a steal but those type of gyms are setup for the masses, and they don't take working out seriously.

Plus, PF has gotten rid of the squat rack and plenty of the free weights. Can you still bench press?

My thoughts:

1) There are sugar free energy drinks. I drink a preworkout before I go to the gym though. Its all water when I'm actuallly working out.

2) I've seen men workout in jeans, work boots, sandles, etc. In my eyes it's stupid, but that's me. If they're having fun then that's great. Who am I to judge.

3) I wipe down every machine that I'm on. Yea, it's gross.

I like to get my workouts in the early morning. Not many people. That's just me though.

Work out at home. Will do more in less time.

It is like complaining why there are so many different cars on the road and some of them are loud and smelly.

The gym sucks! I only use it to swim, and when I still jogged, to run indoors in the winter.

If you have the room in a basement/spare room having a squat rack, straight bar, curl bar and however much free weight you need at home is amazing. No wasted time traveling to the gym, work out whenever you want, only you use the equipment, you can lift barefoot or without a shirt if you want to, and find you can focus better without the distractions at a gym. I also can't help but yell out sometimes when I am doing heavy squats or deadlifts, and prefer not to be that guy releasing battle cries at the gym.

Still stupid, sweating out water weight does absolutely nothing to help you lose weight long term. Unless these people are trying to meet weight at a weigh in right after their workout it's stupid and makes your workout worse.

How about your toilet habit? Do you wash your hands after you are done or that would be too much germ phobia?

Depends. If I just pee then usually no, unless my hands are dirty and then I'll wash them beforehand. I don't piss on my hands and my pecker is quite often spit shined by a pretty woman, if she can put it in her mouth for an extended period of time and be fine then I doubt any harm will come to me from briefly touching it with my hands.
