ATTN ALL MALE GYMGOERS

Spongebob Squarepants towels are not acceptable in a Gym. It looks gay. Especially when you are wearing one of those synthetic tight tank tops that are supposed to draw sweat away from the body.

And ESPECIALLY when you sit on the preacher curl bench with sweet FA weight on the bar and do 3 sets in 15 minutes.

That is all.

neither do i bev.

but if i did it wouldn't have any pics of kids tv programme characters on it.

It would be a shitty old rag that sits in my gym bag, never gets washed, and only comes out to wipe the sweat off my face.

what's up with all you poofters :pfft:

if you want to have a pic on your towel at least get something with a hint of male-ness..

A Mr T towel or even one you stole out of the lost property bin for instance.

I always train with a long sleeve t shirt over a short sleeve. Long Sleeve comes off, becoming my towel. Until gym management told me it wasn't what they would term a towel and would I please bring a proper one with me. Now I carry a flannel out of pure spite. Bastards.

I usually go to the gym straight after work. My usual gym outfit is made up of work boots, denim shorts, and a bandana.

Sometimes if i'm in the mood i will also wear my sunnies throughout the whole workout, even putting up with it when they get all steamed up ( from working out so hard :pfft: ).

I also never work out without an mp3 player. A lot of the time in the summer i wear really short shorts to work. ( The canterbury type ). These have no pockets, so i just stuff the ipod down the front of the shorts.

I also never workout with a towel, prefering instead to walk around all sweaty and leaving sweat over all the equipment i have just used.

( Marking territory )

The gym i used to work out at was the fitness company in new plymouth. It was about 20 years old and i would almost swear that the place had not changed ( or had any renovation or upgrade work done since the day it opened). The equipment was all old polaris stuff. It was rusty and ragged but still good as gold. There were no tv screens on the wall and the changing rooms, carpet and whole gym in general was really run down.

The showers did not have any real pressure , and in the winter would not warm up enough to take the chill off you. There was mould growing in the corners of the male showers and about a year ago, one of the showers ( which was upstairs ) started leaking through the roof and onto the floor of the gym below, ( right next to the drinking fountain and cable row ).

This leak did not get fixed for approximately 3 or 4 months, and the only thing the gym manager ever did was to put buckets on the floor to catch the drips. ( And thats no shit ).

The carpet ( which was the original 20 year old carpet ) started to smell mouldy, and i started a rumour that it was not the shower leaking through the roof, but the male toilet which was situated right behind the shower..

The upstairs wall mounted urinal became blocked about a month before the gym closed and was never unblocked.

A towel was wrapped around it, and it sat there full of stale piss for the next month ( filling the changing room with a fresh, delightful smell )

Half the fluoro lighting bulbs were either blown or missing and there were exposed light fittings and wires hanging out of the ceiling and walls.

Most people never swiped their card when they came in to work out, and more often than not there was never anyone on the desk, and usually only 1 or 2 staff in the whole gym. In fact a guy i know told me that he had been working out there off and on for years and had never joined or paid for a workout. I asked him how he had managed to do this and he said " i just always come in the back door, it's never locked ".

Yep, the old fit co building was in a bad way when the gym finally shut it's doors after 20 years, 3 weeks ago.

Sometimes it's easy to complain about something at the time. But after seeing what other gyms in this town have to offer, with all their rules and regulations, i would happily go back to fit co in a second if it opened its doors again tomorrow.

there are not many old school gyms like that around anymore.

You are so right about the fit co, I trained there for about 18 months when I was 17-18 and it wasn't too bad. Time warp to when I was about 32 and the bloody place haden't changed only deteriated, but it suited bodybuilders down to the ground just good plain equipment and go hard, awesome!! :grin:
