Find a new gym

21 Reasons Why It's Time To Find A New gym
So you joined a new gym and took advantage of special opening discounts. To start with it was a great gym; it was clean, tidy, no hassle from others and has good kit... but slowly over the course of a year things started to change. So, if you see any of the signs below it is seriously time you cancel your membership and start looking for a better gym.
1. You see a middle aged man doing seated leg extensions whilst reading a book with a big towel around his neck.
2. If you see one person wearing actual plimsolls whilst bicep curling, get out of there.
3. Baggy grey tracksuit bottoms with the arse hanging down the back of the knees and a beanie hat, grab your log book and get the hell out of there.
4. More and more "skinny guys" joining up wearing the tightest vests known to man with no muscle on their tooth pick frame.
5. If guys are spending more time in front of the mirror with arms crossed and using their hands to plump up there biceps then this gym is no longer for you.
6. Gloves, what is it with pencil necks walking around the gym wearing gloves and the only exercise they are doing is bicep curls?? They are not fashion accessories!
7. Weight lifting belts, you know the ones I mean, they walk into the gym with their lifting belt already on, they march straight across the gym with that stern look on their face walking with imaginary lat syndrome, but then to your dismay they only came to do tricep kick-backs!
8. If you walk into the gym on Monday and it's packed with guys queuing for the bench and dumbbell rack ready to hit chest and arms (token chest and arm day), but then by Thursday evening it's completely dead, you just can't take these gyms seriously.
9. If you never ever have to wait for the squat rack or deadlift platform. Look it may be great never having to queue or wait, but if there is no one else in your gym squatting or deadlifting big weights than I am afraid your progress will most likely stall.
10. Squat rack bicep curls...enough said.
11. You're watching a guy bench press 1 plate a side, it drops fast to his chest and his spotter (wearing vest, gloves, belt, beanie hat and plimsolls) has to deadlift that weight off him whilst screaming "yeah buddy", "light weight", "just 8 more reps"... seriously you don't need to be training in the same place as these lads.
12. If more and more women are joining wearing tight leggings with camel toe on show and a sports bra 3 sizes too big and proceed to just stand on the vibrating plate for 20 minutes whilst your trying to squat this is definitely going to hinder progress it's not a dating agency or porn site.
13. Guys stood in the corner spending more time on the phone than actually training, and between every set of bicep curls they pick the phone back up and have another 10 minute conversation.
14. Very skinny guys proudly flashing there abs and looking at them in the mirror, let's face it - skinny guys with abs are the same as fat chicks with big tits! It just doesn't count.
15. If you have to scour the entire gym looking for enough 20kg plates so you can deadlift over 200kg.
16. You are bench pressing and grinding that last rep out and a guy runs over thinking he is helping and spots you buy grabbing just one side of the bar...
17. When you are given a lecture by a glove wearing poser boy on why you should not arch your back whilst bench pressing.
18. The whole gyms stops and gawks when you are repping out 3 plates a side bench press for 8-10 reps.
19. You are deadlifting and you get a tap on the shoulder by one of the "personal trainers" who says "no deadlifting allowed in here" you ask why and he replies "it's bad for your back"..
20. When you are told you cannot use chalk because customers are complaining that it is getting on their clothes.
21. Whilst you're doing military press the music is turned up loud and "I'm your man" by wham starts blearing out.

im gonna have to disagree with u on this one. personally i have no probs with a little meat on a woman. and big tits definitely count IMO. obviously there is a degree to the extent of fat but a little chub is no prob as far as im concerned.

**lovbyts** · 11-12-2012, 09:57 AM

I agree, #12 would not make me want to change gyms.

plimsolls = over prices slip on shoes.

**Zodiac82** · 11-12-2012, 10:01 AM

plimsolls = over prices slip on shoes.[/QUOTE]

ahh gotcha

**Zodiac82** · 11-12-2012, 10:04 AM

its amazing no matter were u are....we all have the same issues at our gyms

oh, I think u forgot guys tryin to stare u down as an intimidation factor lol....priceless

**Lunk1** · 11-12-2012, 10:13 AM

This seems like a perfect gym!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Do Chest on Thursdays since no one else will be.

2)Empty squat rack and deadlift paltform = win

3)Guys on phones = empty equipment (even if they left their water bottle or a name plate reading "Gixx" lol)

4)Camel toes = win

5)Who wears a "vest" to the gym. All of the rest is my comic entertainment while I am sitting on the bench facebooking and BS'ing in Roids lol

I agree 100% mate its the degree of FAT it's in question ie when your callipers won't open far enough to get a reading

LOL yeh then it becomes a problem! some guys IMO are way to anal about fitness and women. IMO a woman is fine with some meat or very fit. i think more allowances are made for them (from my perspective) than i make for myself! dont get me wrong she has to be attractive and have meat in the right places and in the right amounts but some guys i think miss out on some attractive women due to excessive standards.

i guess what im trying to say is I LOVE WOMEN! all shapes and sizes!

If he can be such a douche you should just pull out your cell phone and video him. I'm sure he will ask you what you are doing. Just tell him it's obvious he thinks everyone should be looking at him so you are going to help him and put it up on youtube for him.

Ask for his email so you can send him the link with all the Douche comments.

I wonder if English for vest is similar to our wife beater shirts or tank top?

**thegodfather** · 11-13-2012, 12:15 AM

#22) When a member of the gym is more concerned with what every other person in the gym is doing besides himself, instead of keeping his head down, putting his Ipod on, and working the fu*k out.
