Those gym assholes can kiss my ass

[Tiorted Snoil]

One of the most satisfying things I found is to take my body its limit, to work my muscles until they ache for relief and then push them even harder. So, I belong to a gym, actually several gyms. These gyms have every piece of equipment anyone would ever need and then some. However, I fucking hate these gyms. Why? I can't stand all these goddamned assholes bugging the hell out of me every time I go there.

I hate the clothes people wear to this gym. What do preteens, fat middle-aged housewives, and flamboyant homosexual men have in common? Spandex, spandex, spandex! Not one person at this fucking gym that wears spandex is a young voluptuous woman. Why damn it why? The buff crowd generally wears tank tops, undershirts, and those stupid faded t-shirts two sizes too small with the sleeves cut off diagonally. For the corpulent crowd it's the sometimes matching but often not sweater with sweatpants combination. What makes me angry is when the obese gym goers lose their first 3 or 4 pounds and think they are in shape, and then try to dress accordingly. Hideous stretch marks, flabby wavy arms, and cottage cheese thighs stricken with retch inducing varicose veins all uncovered because these delusional fat bodies now have a sliver of self-esteem. Fucking assholes.

I hate how everyone always wants to talk to me when I'm working out. Even when I have the clarity of mind to bring my CD player people still bother me. Can't you see I'm listening to music? Music! I don't want to interact with you assholes or the entire outside world in general. But still they bother me. "Woah what a work out…mmm hmm… ohhh yea!"..."Sup bro, I'm gonna work out to pump up so I can be in to get down… heh hmm." What does that mean? I was never a jock so I am completely baffled by this second language of bros' that I have to constantly endure. Fucking assholes.

I hate how macho men have to be around the bench press. Characteristically these men measure each other's strength by how much weight they can bench. Usually the amount a man can truly bench is conservatively embellished by 20 to 30 pounds, so he doesn't seem weak in front of other men. At the bench press area the tough macho men are all sizing each other up; some grinning stupidly at me, while others avoiding eye contact. All the while these guys are slapping each other, flexing their muscles, and or shouting inspirational phrases to the one guy that's actually working out. Many make offhand sexual references about woman to relieve some of the homoerotic tension built up from all the pushing, slapping, and grunting. Then there are always those skinny bastards claiming to be able to bench an exorbitant amount of weight for their size, then not back up their boasting for some bullshit reason like, "I've already been lifting for two hours today so I don't want to strain my 'cepts anymore ya know." Fuck you. If you say you can lift 275 you back it up goddamn it. Fucking assholes.

I hate all the promotional shits gyms always have. Join today for free membership so that we can fuck you in the ass later on overblown monthly charges. I hate all those fucking gym assholes that push their useless super-powder smoothie formulas that supposedly, when consumed, helps to build muscles. However, the worst is when there is a table peddling some shitty vitamin-enhanced concoction that is guaranteed not to work and taste god-awful. Hmmmm if it smells like diarrhea and it looks worse then diarrhea then it must be great for me and leave a delightful aftertaste in my mouth while I work out. Nope. Fucking Assholes.

I hate everybody that goes to the gym. I hate the overweight middle-aged housewives that pay full price all year round so they can workout in the aerobics center in droves for the two weeks after New Years. I hate how there is always one feeble old person working out, never more then one, but always at least one there. I hate feeling uncomfortable for that old man as hordes of young athletic gym goers casually walk past him, swearing and yelling, like he's not even there. I hate the retarded gym staff that always watches me then comments on my form and demands I sign up for a personal trainer. I hate the people that come to the gym and don't work out. People who pay good money to join a gym then only come to socialize and hang out piss me off to no end. I hate anyone that even looks at me while I'm at the gym, they can all go straight to hell. Fucking assholes.

[PhotoGuy]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Come load trucks at FedEx every night. You get paid to work out. :D

[bunkyboy]

Exactly why I only do 12 oz. curls at home. fucking gyms.

[Turbo]

Buy yourself a Bowflex, work out at home, and shut the hell up about other people. Fucking asshole.

Bowflex (http://www.bowflex.com/index.asp)

[slydevl]

I used to be able to bench 405 but I havent touched a weight since I moved in April. I bet I could still get 350 easy. I would be happy to back that up.

Don't read this while I am thinking about working out. Rude fuckers.

[kshead]

Just let your body go to shit. That has always worked for me.

[slydevl]

I am about to buy one of these

bowflexes are rip offs....you can hurt yourself big time on those things. if they were any good, colleges, pro-teams, and pro-athletes would use them. isntead, they rely on silly infomercails using actors who don't use them.

fuking asshole:D

LOL Hell no! Well, only when I'm cycling or hiking, and only under my shorts (b-ball style). Those things keep you dry where you need to be kept dry and stop you from chaffing. :D

Point made. Still, if you don't like the gym - don't go. Its obvious that its a hangout place for those you don't like. MY point is - get a home gym and quit going to the gym - unless you're there to look for curvacious women using spandex.

[meatpile]

Fuck the gym.

I'd much rather sit around, watch TV, masturbate, and eat shitty food.

[Couz]

I go to a small non-franchised gym. The largest crowd I've seen there at one time is about fourteen people. Everybody minds there business, polite hellos, carry a conversation if you want. A few get loud but it's not bad.

Maybe you need to find a little out of the way gym and get away from the crowd.

[cltbuilder]

The Central Y has got to be the cruisiest, most gay-infested gym in Charlotte. And Gateway is a close second.

Thank you, Tiorted Snoil, for reminding me why I gave up on that whole exercise thing in the first place.

Rack Tiorted Snoil :D :D !!!!!!!! That's the TBR.com Rant of the Day :) . . . .

[McFly41]

I am with Couz on this one! I go to New Life Fitness, which was once the premier gym in Cedar Rapids/Iowa City. It's privately owned, but there is one location somewhere in the Carolina's, not sure where.
The facility here is outdated (the location I go to anyway) and you get to workout without all the "fucking assholes" you speak of. The equipment is pretty good still, just the building is old.
Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of them there, but if you go early in the morning or during the day (that is, not over lunch or right after work) there is NO congestion.
It would be nice to go to a facility that had a nicer locker room, pool, hot tub, and sauna...but the nice joints are more like fucking singles clubs and you have to deal with all the bullshit that comes with it.
I hate nothing more than trying to hustle through my workout, only to be held up by some asshole trying to hook up at the gym or the guy who is too busy kissing himself in the mirror, fucking assholes!

lots of guys like to prop one foot up on a bench and let their scroats hang out there. they like it more when another guy is around.

True, but I can't beleive Larry said "Oh, totally".:homophobe :lol2:

[Stargazer]

Boo, have you ever considered using the funds from one of those gym memberships to invest in some anger management sessions? Man, I'm afraid you are gonna blow one of these days. That can't be healthy! :)




Then again, maybe venting here is your anger management vehicle. Hmmm, maybe I should try it! :D

I haven't been to the free weight area there in years...probably about 4. The last time I was sitting there resting and looked around, that's when I realized the room had about 20 men in it and I was the only straight one. The workout area inside the locker-room is worse. I have, however, never seen the phenomenon you described and am glad.

I only do cardio there now, they have a good selection of equipment and a lot of equipment so you can always use the machine you want when you want.

So builder, the Gateway Y is more gay friendly than the Uptown? I hardly ever see gay men at Gateway...it's all just the working stiffs from the gateway complex.

straight men have "gaydar" too. some are obvious.

[imking4aday]

I just started going to the new Bally's on South. There is some very good looking ladies up there and haven't noticed many men wearing spandex, but the ladies...nice!

Also some big m-f'rs that can wear whatever the f*** they want, cause I sure as hell ain't gonna tell them otherwise.

[chipshot]

I weant to the Central Y 4 days a week for 2 years and I can honestly say I never noticed any gay men. With all the young talent in there the last thing I noticed were the males.

what time do you go? all that is there when I'm there is fat mexican women and fat black women. Even the skanks that work there are nasty.

chipshot, you didn't open your eyes. several years ago, they used to have "sex in the shower area will not be tolerated" signs in the locker-room. did that not give you a clue?

I agree. I go to Gold's Gym here in Columbia, and I've seen quite a few folks in unflattering gym attire. I believe absolutely no one with a huge stomach should wear a midrift bearing outfit, and white women with varicose veins should not wear spandex shorts. Ugh!!! Really gross!!! I usually wear long, black spandex pants with an oversized white t-shirt because I don't like people looking at my booty, and I don't like my skin actually touching the dirty, sweaty weight equipment.

I hate how everyone always wants to talk to me when I'm working out. Even when I have the clarity of mind to bring my CD player people still bother me. Can't you see I'm listening to music? Music! I don't want to interact with you assholes or the entire outside world in general. But still they bother me.

I know exactly how you feel, Boo. The same thing happens to me. I usually go to the gym around 8 p.m., so I have to really be on the move and concentrate to get in 30-45 minutes of cardio and a full workout, so I really don't have time for chit chat. Yet, I always have some old, black man following me around the gym or some other undesirable man trying to flirt with me or pick me up. Excuse me, but I did not come here to pick up old men. The fact that I'm wearing headphones and watching the overhead televisions should be your first clue that "I'm busy!" And "note to men" it's probably not the best time to approach a woman when she is hot and sweaty and wearing no makeup with her hair snatched back.

I hate how macho men have to be around the bench press. Characteristically these men measure each other's strength by how much weight they can bench.

I hate when men or women congregate around gym equipment, because it means I'll have to wait all bloody night before I can get my three sets in. Furthermore, I hate when people rest on the machines in the circuit training section, not allowing others to work through. And I hate when people don't wipe off the equipment after they've been sweating all over it. Yuck!!!

I hate everybody that goes to the gym. I hate the overweight middle-aged housewives that pay full price all year round so they can workout in the aerobics center in droves for the two weeks after New Years. I hate how there is always one feeble old person working out, never more then one, but always at least one there. I hate the people that come to the gym and don't work out. People who pay good money to join a gym then only come to socialize and hang out piss me off to no end.

lol. It ticks me off when people don't follow gym etiquette during peak hours, staying on the few elliptical machines for an hour when there are others waiting. This is so rude. And I hate seeing people do improper, or even dangerous, form on weight machines.

I went afterwork and never went into the locker room much, if I had seen that I would definately have remembered that. I guess if I think back I can remember some of the more obvious ones but like I said, I was looking at other things.

i have a large home gym setup in storage...now i think i might bring it up from sc and work out at home...i dont like gyms for the same reasons ....too many people :(

they have a different sign now. It is more PC...I started to read it one day when some guy walked by and gave me the "eyes." So I got the hell out of there. The Central Y is full of more freaks than gays, some very strange people work out there. I saw this fat old guy one day walking around in a speedo....no shirt, no shoes, just a speedo walking around the main fitness area.

Sportsgirl, I feel sorry for attractive women at the gym. They are hounded by guys that obviously have no chance, some of whom are even married. The worst offenders are usually the gym staff.
