Just thought of a very annoying thing about my gym; as it's located in Covent Garden about half of the people that workout there are either strippers or sex workers.....but guess what.....they're all men!

The gay stripper workout goes roughly like this
1) Apply fake tan
2) low weight high reps on pectoral fly machine
3) Chat openly to friends about regular clients and slutty co-workers
4) Hit sauna

Lol, at least it means I can focus on working out without the distraction of some lovely ladies but it would be nice to get at least one female stripper in there to help balance it out!!

The fact the dumbells aren't labelled up properly. This isn't a problem for me as it isn't hard to do the simple maths, it's just that for the amount of money they are making they SHOULD be labelled up correctly.

I suppose that wouldn't really be the worst thing though, theres not too many bad points about my gym.

I just saw the typical dilemma of curling in the squat rack today. It did actually piss me off because I was ready to do some squattin'. Also, there's one dumbass at my gym that pretty much everyone hates, including the staff. Too bad he's too huge for us to do anything about it

I've a variation on this in that there's a woman who has started working out when I do at the small corporate gym I belong to. She seems to insist on working out RIGHT NEXT to the dumbbell rack, even though there's plenty of space to do otherwise. Today it was just her and I and she could've set up a bit further away, but nope, right next to the rack is where she was. Incidentally she's also the one that seems to need the stability ball (there ARE others in the gym) when I'm using it.

Come on Shafted, you know Stingo is WAY to focused on his workouts to perv at some pesky woman!!!


So......IS she fit??? I know you have looked really.

An annoying thing at the gym I go to is the amount of monkeys you get swinging on the lat pull down lol!

No, she isn't fit - but then again I'm not either.

Actually when I'm in the gym I'm there to work out, so I can be pretty antisocial lol.

Same here really, a lot of people ask me do I workout on my own and are suprised when I say I do because a lot of friends know another of our mates goes the same gym and just assume we must workout together.

I quite like going alone because it means theres no distractions. I do HATE lifting when its busy though because even with a backup plan for each exercise it can still slow you down a lot, so I try to go earlier in the afternoon and just leave work early or go later at night when it is also quiet.
