What bothers you most about your gym / health club?

There's an old guy at my gym that has a grey ponytail down to his lower back and a giant UW weasel logo tattoo on his bicep.
I'm pretty sure he's a janitor here and just so happens to work out when I'm here.
I've been contemplating whether or not to show him my doog card and ask him how much money he would have offered DeBoer in October 2023.

I work out in my garage now too.
But, when I did the gym, the people taking their sweet ass time instead of exercising it what used to bother me. It's like "Why the fuck are you here just to fiddle fuck around?". Bitches on phones on the treadmill also bothered me.
When I coached my son's youth baseball team, I learned time management better than I any other period in my life. Just get the GymBoss app on your phone and keep your rest time limited to 10-15 seconds. Even with body weight shit you can get a lot done in 40 min.

Kids living at home have to rotate hangout spots that aren't a bar charging them 10$ a beer.
That and couples that go together tend to linger a lot longer.

I have completely switched to working out outside whenever possible. Bodyweight park near the house… Vitamin D… grounding… fresh air.
The only advantage to a gym is the motivation that comes from seeing yoga pants wearing smokeshows. But now that i am not in my 20s anymore, that doesn't have the same appeal.

F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...
In the immortal words of Frank Costanza…I got a lot of problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about it!
Let's start with pool guy. Thx for not towel drying on the pool deck so I have a fucking pool of chlorinated water at my locker assface. Next is old naked guy. This is a gym, not a fucking nudist colony. Last thing I want to see in the locker room is 4 old dudes with their wrinkly yam bags swinging around. Oh look it's fat girl in the sports bra and yoga pants. While u may think its a good look, I speak for the rest of humanity and it's fucking nasty. We're not talking a muffin top, it's the whole fucking bakery hanging out. Last is grunt guy. You know the clown squatting 2 plates a side and thinks he's fucking Jimmy Connors battling Ivan Lendl at Flushing Meadows. FFS learn a proper breathing technique fuctard

Jud Heathcote naked in the steam room at the Spokane Club is just something the Throbber can never unsee.

Yoga pants are the northwests version of miniskirts. If you shame the fatties, the skinnies will take up their cause and stop wearing them. Don't fuck this up for the rest of us. Also disagree with nudist colony, respectfully. See my previous comment. Oh, and not willing to bring towel to pool / sauna guy is the worst. I had I believe two ukranian / eastern euro guys absolutely drench a 10 foot area. There is a squeegee that staff uses for the floor and started using it and pushing it to where they were changing. Get the hint.

Shitty, outdated equipment
Today was a new one. Some fat lady brought a dog in the gym. Not while she was exercising. Just walked in the gym, kind of wandered around with the dog for a bit, and then left.
I was… rather confused by this.
For context, the gym is part of the overall family pool facility and by a park + tennis courts + open field, so people walk their dogs nearby, and it is humid AF (dew point in the high 70s), and this was a big poofy dog, so may have needed a couple of minutes to cool off, but just letting the dog stand behind me while erging was… bizarre.

In the State of Washington, we call that 'homeless tranny cooling off'.
Quite common.

Dogs don't belong in gyms, restaurants, grocery stores, on airplanes, etc.
It's just plain rude.
