GR whats wrong with people that walk slow in the gym? Theres no time limit on working out. My results wont get better if i walk faster.

top peeve of mine. People like GR that think they own the bloody gym and run people down about their walking.

i was at world fitness the other day and this asshole staff member wouldnt help me when i was asking him to call an ambulance as an old woman had fallen over. he ignored me because he was busy texting.

currently writing a complaint on the world fitness facebook page and also fair go

Gym staff putting up notices telling us to put away weights after using them.

 

Gym staff training with weights then leaving the gym with everything still setup.  Fucked if I'm tidying up after you.

 

Gym staff who don't notice that used tissue in a squat rack for days.  Vacuum weekly then?

 

Trying to figure out what room to look in for the dumbbells I want

 

Trying to find 20's for rackpulls

 

Not having a garage 

[Rebel101]

Trainers telling newbies to use the squat rack to do incline press up, when there is only two squat racks available for everyone to use for squats.

Newbies take up the squat rack for like 30 mins just to do 4 sets of incline press ups that could easily be done on a bench anywhere else in the gym. Grrrrrrrr....

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

wait wtf, incline PRESSUPS? Not even bench press?? tell them to get lost or just use the thing in between 

[Rebel101]

Problem being they use the Olympic bar on the lowest level as the base for press up, so loading and unloading in between is hopeless.

Bumping this up, not really a breach or peeve

 

But theres this guy who comes to the gym pretty regularly and he brings his own skipping rope.

 

All ive ever seen him do is skipping and shadow boxing, wtf are even joined to the gym for. Also he always wearing his sunglasses inside, cracks me up everytime.

Lol What gym do you train at? Sounds povo as hell! Shit floor, shit bars... Not that hard to change plenty of gyms within walking distance in howick/pakuranga

[GyzzBrah]

Yeah bro what gym did you train at in howick?

[Realtalk]

All seasons which was ok... Till they bought new dumbells with really thick handles and put flooring down over free weight area including under the squat rack. I left then had 6 month left on contract but told manager I joined based on what gym was at the time... Now you change it so I change my contract to finish now. Heapsa honeys though.

Then joined transform which is good but not good at peak times cause it's quite small.

Then u moved out of area.

There is a hardcore gym that Moe works out in that's 2 min's walk away from school too. half as cheap as my gym too, so I'll sign up there once I get a car.

[tyreguy]

I remember a guy who wanted to do a "Jump in set", whilst I was halfway through mine, I didn't even know what he was talking about!! lol

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

I remember a guy who wanted to do a "Jump in sex", whilst I was halfway through mine, I didn't even know what he was talking about!! lol

it means when you were at the bottom of your squat he was jump in ....

[nzboy]

i hate it when im wearing my tights on legs day and all the girls are perving at my ass when i do my stiff leg deadlifts so yuck!

 

sure !!!!

[Realtalk]

Squatting in powercage 200x5x5... Got safety bars extra low cause I squat low and I don't want the bar coming anywhere near them at the bottom of the movement. All the safety bars are to me is so bar doesn't crush me into ground. So manager is watching me squat then comes over and says I should put those safety bars up a couple of holes cause I'm clearing the two holes above easily... I had just finished my 3rd set so I was starting to get tired dunno y I listen to him but I did it and then what do you know 4th set bar bottoms out on bars and bounces me off on the fucking angle and bang lower back pinched to shit this is bullshit mates hope not srs else gonna ruin my 2015

Wish ppl would just f*ck off or if gonna watch someone train just watch don't say shit or butt in. Sorta shit that gonna make me change gyms only been there 2 weeks. Mad/10

[Pseudonym]

Ooh, bugger. File an ACC claim for them.

 

I can understand new members being numpties, but staff have no excuse. A couple of weeks ago, a cute PT came over and tried to convince me to enter the gym's pushup competition.

"No thanks," says I.

"But why not? It'll be fun!"

"Because-" I growl through gritted teeth, "I'm not training chest today, I'm training back, and you're talking to me in the middle of a set!"

Maybe he thought you were cute too and just wanted to break the ice?

[Pseudonym]

LOL. I see what you did there.

 

And probably. I get that a lot. Being cute, it's a burden I just have to bear.
