annoyances at the gym

[wmk]

My patience at the gym is very low lately and I feel like smacking some people around. Last week I am on an elliptical trainer finishing my last 2 minutes when some chick walks up and said to me, "My name is Kerrie and I signed up for this elliptical trainer for 4:30PM and you are over your time", I told her that there is a 25 minute time limit and I was signed up from 4:05 - 4:30PM and that I had less than 2 minutes left. She then went on protesting how I needed to get off exactly at 4:30 because that is when I was supposed to get off. I looked at the board and the other 3 elliptical trainers were not signed up for and no one was on them, so I told her to either wait the 1:30 I had left or use the other machines. She then told me that she wanted mine as it was her favourite. She then waited for me to get off and then I told her that I hope she has her hepatitis B vaccinations because my sweat is all over the machine. After saying that she then went on one of the other available machines.

I also hate the guy who sits at the smith machine and weights 15 minutes between sets.

I also laugh at the dude with a massive upper body who has legs that are skinnier than my forearms.

I also hate the women who keeps setting up the stepper blocks and platform in front of the dumbbell rack.... might be different if she had a hot ass or camel toe to look at.

I also hate the body armour shirts that some guys wear, especially the bald 40 year pot bellied guy.

Okay I am done ranting and I obviously need to shop for a new gym as this one is just to small and frustrating.... only one set of dumbbells as well that only go up to 80lbs.

80 pounds?? lol worse then my gym. 110's at mine

[wmk]

I know 80lbs sucks, the gym is 2 blocks from my house, has a salt water pool for lane swimming. So the location was convenient as I work out in the mornings and evenings. I didn't really want to spend time driving elsewhere, but I really don't have a choice anymore.

[spitfire]

I would have never signed up at a gym that only has up to 80lbs dumbells. I use 100lbs for shoulder presses and 130lbs for flat bench. What the hell would 80lbs do? Warm me up?? I've dumbell curled 90's for ****s sake. Are you at nautilus or something?

[wmk]

no, it is a month to month gym at a city of calgary facility. I dropped my membership at world health club and i didn't want to sign another year contract with another gym as i may be moving this summer to another city, so I figured I would use this place for a while.

know of any good gyms where you don't have to sign a contract?

i hate it when people dont put there weights away! if i see them i ask them to do it!

i ate it when people who r smaller then me come up and say your should try doing that like this!

i hate it when people come up to me and talk seeing that i have ear buds in with music cranks so i dont have to chat with them!

AND I Really hate it when people talk about how tuff they are when ever there in the gym!!!

[spitfire]
