Annoying Gym Behaviour - Mk2(?)

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

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.

He was asking you to give him a shot when he finished. Not really uncommon, and not particularly recent. Kinda goes hand in hand with asking how many left, can I work in and other polite queries/requests/

You don't have to give him a heads up, but given he asked politely, most people would. Obviously not expected to go searching for the guy high and low, but with the presumption he is nearby and takes a few seconds to say "I'm all done", it's kind of rude not to imo.

I think that's a bit of a leap tbh.

I agree. A bit entitled. A millennial perhaps? 🤣 But seriously, if I was in a good mood I might consider letting him know when I'm finished, otherwise I'd be thinking that it's up to him to find out.

I would think he was letting you know where he was so that if someone else was to ask to use the machine when you were finished that you could nod towards him and say that he has been waiting.

Exactly 👍️

Might seem a bit greedy, but I know of an Intercounty Hurler whos knee blew out last year. I'd often see him in the gym now sitting for 30-40 mins straight doing the leg extensions with his bad leg while using a small pressure machine too attached to him. That's probably all he can do to get the strength back up.

Might be something similar with the guy you mention.

Leg Extension machine and chest fly machine attract the lazy people
