3. People sit on machines and look at their phones more than they used to. They don't seem to be taking a break during reps. Just staring at their phones.
This makes me very stabby every day. They camp out on their phones and do no actual work. One day I’m going to snap and end up in jail.

1. Yoga pants and crop tops for women. Goodness gracious. I need to wear dark glasses. It's simply incredible. (Of course, a majority of the women wearing this apparel have no business in them. Stretchable fabrics are a privilege, not a right.)
Immediately after finishing a set, I either pick up my phone or stare straight down at the ground. Can't get caught creeping

All the women under 30 only do glute bridges to make their asses bigger. No other exercises. They park on the Smith Machine or in the squat rack for at least 30-40 minutes. Whoever sold them on this should be making a killing. Also, gym etiquette is a thing of the past. Parking in the racks or on the equipment, taking weights when someone is at a station without asking. Just because they aren't on the bar does not mean I won't need them; just ask. Kids thinking it's social hour and being in the way to pass, get on equipment, get to the water fountain, changing rooms, etc. People moving your stuff to get to a phone charger.

The people only there for the gram are annoying as frick, and it doesn't matter the gym, it is almost always packed. I wish someone would build a boutique gym near me, I would pay over a hundred dollars a month to workout at a place with very little interaction with others. Our garage isn't working for that.

My gym alleviated this issue by putting in three dedicated glute bridge machines which greatly helped the availability of squat racks.

what made this better that you can work out?
PT, ESI's, and time. I've actually been better for a few years. Just took a while to get back.

Yoga pants and shorts are THE best.
If anyone lives in DFW, LA Fitness Uptown from 4 pm till about 7 pm. All fitness competitors and college chicks. Best gym ever. Thank me later.

I read recently that gyms used to have a formula that assumed low attendance from members but the younger generation is going too much and staying too long.
So the same facility that could handle 1,000 members 10 years ago is no longer able to handle that many now.

Seems like in last 10 years interest in traditional weight lifting—with attendant gym culture—has exploded for both sexes.
CrossFit boxes/F45 type hybrid workouts were trending a decade ago, but at the end of the day it still can’t overtake just slinging iron.

I get an eyeball workout every time I go especially with a local college one mile away. Don't leave out the a-holes who take various free weights with them to their machines and use them every 10 mins while you have to wait for their dumbasses to be done. Some people fail to exercise their brains by using common courtesy.

The people who sit on the only machine of its kind in the gym and scroll on their phone have a special place in hell waiting for them.. for some reason every time I finish chest and want to hit the side delt machine, someone spawns in on it and takes their mfing time. The last time was a big booty girl who posts her leg workouts on TikTok, she was having a conversation with two guys on it for genuinely 30 minutes, no exaggeration. I was pretty close to saying something but I don’t usually confront lol.

Not sure when this started but it’s so absurd to me. I see it everyday. In so many cases there are certainly other areas that could use some attention.
I also don’t think the thick arse look is attractive.

Word to the wise, lots of people are videoing their workouts, and if an innocent bystander happens to get in their shot, they get pissed. And some chicks like to catch guys on camera glancing at them, and then blast them online for it.

Just watch out for the narcissists with their fricking cameras - they think they've gotta take videos of themselves doing their workouts and if they see you looking around between sets near them then you're automatically a perv. Nevermind them wearing bikinis to the gym and uploading everything to IG to show off their bodies, it's your fault for looking at that moment.

Nah, Joey Swoll is on patrol to stop those camera whores.

There is a question about your biggest choke moment. Mine happened at the gym. The hottest chick and I went early, she rocked yoga pants and I stared hard. She started to rotate into my routine. One day she got off a machine and I was approaching. She looked at me and said, "Let me wipe off my sweat, you dont want that all over you." I did not respond with a witty answer confirming that I actually do

There’s literally 20 different places to do pull ups, but some jack arse chooses to do them with the bar in the squat rack. F*** that guy.
Also, tons of engineering and science went into creating the machines, but some meat head with an IQ of 3 will find some awkward way to work out his traps on a leg extension machine.
