Annoying Gym Behaviour - Mk2(?)

Quote where I mentioned laws or legality then.

I spoke about the perception of gyms as public spaces. I spoke about RULES in gyms not laws.

It's relevant inasmuch as gyms are entitled to enforce their own rules.

I never argued the point of legality at any juncture, yet you feel you have the right to say I did and then accuse me of posting nonsense when you can't even get your facts straight.

Pot, kettle.

let’s drop the recording issue. Its ruining the thread now.

oh I saw another annoying one this morning. Using a rack for bar bell bench presses when the actual purpose built bench presses were free.
Basically taking up a rack unnecessarily in my opinion.

I walked 5 meters from a cable last night to get an attachment, gone ten seconds, came back to a guy adjusting the same piece of equipment for himself, throwing the attachment that was on the cable on top of my water bottle while standing on my towel. Said he didn't realise anyone was using it.

He then gets onto another machine and starts using the one next to it while leaving his stuff on the first one. Place was busy, just finish with one thing and go onto the next, so yeah tying up two pieces of equipment at once is a crappy thing to do particularly when the gym is busy.

you’ve posted utter nonsense

The legality was questioned. Somebody said it was illegal. I pointed out that it wasn't illegal as it's a public space. That all I clarified. Pretty simple

You've spent multiple posts disagreeing with me. You said gym polices decimate my point. What point was decimated exactly? What were you disagreeing with if not the point on legality? As that was the only thing I actually claimed.

Are you really trying yo deny you ever disagreed with me. haha

Put simply, you don't get to go into any business and do what you like. You're on private property and you either behave within the rules of the establishment or leave.

Nobody in the thread has claimed that being a public space means you can do what ever you like. Obviously the question about the legality, was in relation to people doing it in gyms where is is not banned.

you never argued that point??? 😂😂

Thanks for proving my point about people getting mixed up. No need to keep going

No I never said anything about legality. All my posts are there to be read, you can't quote me saying anything about legality because I didn't. You're just being obstinate now.

Like I said you can PM me if you like, everyone is tired of this back and forth.

Will yee give over, please. No one is interested in this and it's making shite of the thread.

Filming yourself in the gym and being respectful of people who don't want to be in the video can co-exist. They don't have to be mutually exclusive and it doesn't have to be polarising.

My gum states no photos ,no recordings end of

Saw a big lad earlier in the week working on a preacher curl who insisted on getting up for a good walk around after each set. Unfortunately, he seemingly had nothing on him to leave behind to indicate he might be back so had to (on multiple occasions) remove the daring young pretenders seeking out his throne.

Think he actually enjoyed it!

Also, fwiw took this photo which indicates Flyefit's fairly reasonable policy on recording.

Hes a effing ignoramus

Go to the instructor and complain or ask for signs to be put up,

There's signs in the market arena gym ref photos,hogging machines etc

Can't see why they're not up in all gyms,

He sounds a selfish cnut

Guests are paying to use the jacuzzi just like regular members, if anything their contribution for that day is much higher.

The only reasons jacuzzis are really viable for a gym is a hotel to pay for them. Public jacuzzis are gross anyway.

About the filming in gyms: I'd be against it usually, unless it's a temporary video to check form/technique. My gym has the no videography signs up, but if you're videoing your form then none of the staff mind that.

All the crusty skin flakes. Super healthy, basically full of collagen

Self8sh cnuts

The other day I walked over to a bit of free floor space near where a guy was doing deadlifts to do some planks but the second I touched the floor noticed an almighty stench. The fella was barefoot and either his feet or runners were the source. Had to abandon that side of the room. Would people mention it to someone in that situation?

yes, 100%

The other day there were two young lads blocking most of the changing room gawking at themselves flexing in the mirror, telling each other how good their biceps looked and what they thought the perfect length of t-shirt sleeve was too show them off. Had to leave when they started sharing protein shake recipes. Bizarre behaviour

Back in a public gym for the first time in 7 years. Had been working out at home.

Anyway guy asks me how many I've left, said 2, and he said okay I'll just be over there, to which I gave him a 'what you talking about Willis' look.

Was he taking the mick or did he really expect me to go and fetch him when I'd finished? Which would have been hardly 3 minutes later. Is this a new thing since I've been away because I've never seen that before.
