    This is the first year I've noticed it being more busy. I thought the on post gyms would be immune but no such luck.

    I switched gyms about 6 months ago. Train in this old run down gym that has pretty nice equipment and is really big. Very few people there at any given time it's nice. No tv's on the walls. It's a great place to go and just zone out. I put on the headphones and get the work done

    I go to two gyms. I go in the morning before work, both are packed. It really sucks. In a couple weeks things will die down though......

    I am pretty fortunate that you very rarely have to wait for a piece of equipment. The gym is as old school as it gets, and there aren't too many around like that in my area anymore.....safe to say its the last of them. Sometimes the 3 racks get real busy when the PL team happens to be training but working in isn't a problem.

    Yes, I am very fortunate to for rarely having to wait on any piece of equipment at my gym, so far it haven't been that bad but was definitely fairly packed last night but got quieter. I always get my proffered dead lift bar, and get 1 of the 2 power racks when I need it

    Never more than about 6 people when I go, and that includes me and the night attendant. The others are usually a few guys I work with. Granted there aren't many people awake between 12-2 am.

    Few new year revolutionists at my gym, but not to much of a difference to my workouts. Most of the new people i see just do cardio so it down't affect me.

    Way too many people. I give the resolutioners about 1 month. It wouldn't quite be so bad if the ****ers would get off the machines or benches between sets, instead of sitting there playing on their phones.

    Yeah my gym is usually very busy earlier in the week and then it starts to die down, people are guilty of all the drinking and eating they did on the weekend so they think go in and get a workout in on Monday and that will make up for it lmfao, It usually starts to quiet down after 8pm ,but i think from 4-730 is probably insane .
