Your gym....Poll inside...

[TxChick]

After going to the gym today, I wondered how everyone else's gym rated.

Our gym is about 80% retired old wrinkly people....15% middle of the road fitness wise people....5% very well built people.

Vote in the poll then explain your 'estimate' at your gym

 

[TxChick]

I wish a younger crew was at our gym....but there isn't...and this is the only gym in town that offers childcare....not that there are hardly ever any other kids but ours in there. lol...lots of grandmas and grandpas. I can actually say that there are MAYBE 10 people that frequent as often as we do...and that are young.

 

[Jodi]

I wish my gym had more women that were into weights. There are plenty of women but they all do the circuit training, cardio and or classes. They can literally can have a perfectly normal conversation while doing their exercises. Then I look at the stack and notice there doing 10lbs on WG Pulldown. LOL!!!

If you can talk normally while lifting hell if you can talk at all and I can understand it, your not lifting hard enough.

Also, need more nice looking guys. So far I only found 1 thats worth watching.

 

[Fit Freak]

The gym I train at now...well...lots of 'jacked up' guys but common...where are the ladies I ask? Cardio...no.....weights...rarely....maybe they're just too damn intimidated...yeah...that's it.

I wish we could have more than a handful of women.....it sucks

You see...that is the problem with gyms full of gus that are kinda hardcore...the women go elsewhere. Then again...we're there to train....right?

 

[Rissole]

We got a good mix in our gym. From school aged guys and girls, mostly middle aged guys and girls and a few hard core oldies chucked in (love them). There's only one other guy in our gym that would compete. I think most of the guys are footballers.

The one thing i like about our gym is the chicks are about 60-70% of the population And i get on well with most of the hotties... What can i say... i'm a nice guy

 

[CRASHMAN]

my gym's full of fighters

 

[w8lifter]

We have a good mix...and it all depends on the time of the day...older people generally go in the morning/early afternoon, and the younger crowd begins to roll in in the afternoon. All the hardcore people usually train in the evening and we have lots of them...more than a handful that could compete...and all the 9-5er's come in then too...it's hell to try to train between 4 and 7, lol.

And we have a lot of fighters too

I see a guy at the same time I usually go in and you can tell he must be in some sort of business. He constantly yaks on the damn thing in the weight room. I'm like, why does he even come to the gym?? He never lifts...............Bugs the crap out of me...................I don't want to hear it!

 

[ZECH]

Since my gym is next to a University, we have lots of young kids, and some hotties!! But we also have a good mix of young and old and built and wanna be's.............

 

[Fit Freak]

Something to get off my chest...yesterday I was training and there was a guy training who competes....he's a lightweight....short...about 5 feet that's it...buy yeah he looks good. It's three weeks out now but all he did was do a set walk around for 15 minutes do another set...walk around....bugging the shiot out of me. I wanted to go up to him and say buddy everyone has already taken notice you're cut....no train and get the hell outa here.

So.....the moral of the story...when you're competing and ready for a show don't spend 3 hours in the gym showing off your nice 'lines'...especially when you make it sooo obvious that that's what you're doing.

you should have gone up and eaten a detour bar in front of him.

Like w8 said, it depends on the time of day. I have worked out at all hours, and the type of crowd varies widely depending on the time of day:

Early morning, circa 5:00: Good mix of men and women, mostly ranging from early 20's to late 30's. Most are serious about their workouts and know what they are doing. This is when I usually workout. I see the same faces every day.

Mid morning: Old people (grey, wrinkly retirees)

Early to mid afternoon: Kiddie time. High school boys who are all fuqqing clueless. Their workout goals seem to be "as much weight as possible with no focus on proper form." Lots of kids with good upper bodies and toothpicks for legs.

Evenings: Hardcore bodybuilders and slim shapely women. I would prefer to workout at this time, but it's just too damn busy.

 

[david]

young/middle aged probably roughly age group of 28 but the range is more like 19-40's

1% may be declared Obese. However, our gym is 24 hours so I don't get to see whose sneaking in after midnight to 5 am.....

cell phones at the gym? there is a BIG sign on the front door to turn the cell phones off as soon as you get in. Thank God...I would absolutely go mental on someone who constantly talked on the cell phone.

Early to mid afternoon: Kiddie time. High school boys who are all fuqqing clueless. Their workout goals seem to be "as much weight as possible with no focus on proper form." Lots of kids with good upper bodies and toothpicks for legs.

We have about 5 of these guys....for example, instead of a full movement with a DB, its about 1/3 of the distance they *should* be doing. And their legs...oh God..their legs are definitely toothpicks.

you should have gone up and eaten a detour bar in front of him.

that would have been priceless

ROTF!!! That would have been fuking funny!!!! LOL

 

[dino]

My gym is in the basement at work. We are a good mix of people. No big muscle dudes though. I'm close to being the biggest....lol! MIddle-aged as well as young, and everyone is in somewhat of a fit physique.

 

[Scotty the Body]

I workout in the morning, most of the people there are middle aged in good shape, no "big" guys though, I think I'm probably one of the biggest, would be nice if there were some others that were lifting bigger than me though for some motivation.

 

[ALBOB]

I go to a gym on a military base. If the members weren't in shape I'd be worried.

 

[naturaltan]

we have several hotties which make the transition to different parts of the gym interesting. Even the missus is starting to be part of the gym hotties (those are the ladies that not only look good coming into the gym with work or walk-around clothes) but also look good in gym attire!

My gym is basically the same way. I don't dare try to get in on the weights between 4 and 7!

 

[butterfly]

I picked "A good mix of all of the above....nobody really stands out as a 'majority'" but sometimes it depends on the day, time, and time of year... and which part of the gym you hang out in.

 

[QuestionGuy]

It depents on what time you go to my gym, when I go in the morning I am one of the "elite " there and I get a lot of looks, yes I can say I am one of the better looking pople there...but when I go after 4-5pm then I am just an average joe...

 

[ALBOB]

Holy crap! Two years old? Is that some kind of record for bringing back old threads? Hey QG, you bored or something?

 

[QuestionGuy]

[Witmaster]

Someone must have found the thread and cast a vote. That usually throws them to the top of the list

 

[Vince2005]

I lift weights at the weight room at school so there are mostly young people but then there is our weight training teachers who lifts with us once in a while I like to laugh at his terrible form.Everyone who lifts is fit and knows most of the time what they are doing.
