This, so much this. My townhouse is in a private gated community, and since my schedule varies wildly, I'm usually the night Stalker. We have 5 pools in total, and the two infinity edged pools are right by my house, and subsequently, the gym. Only thin, fit, athletic people or swolebros go to the gym in my community, and at night I have all 3k square feet to myself and I love it. Now, my boyfriend and I also belong to a local gym as it has a handful of machines that this one does not, and we alternate days depending on our work schedules. I went to the public gym once during peak hours when I was doing the 7-330pm slot at my job, and I'll never do it again. The Corp. I work for actually reimburses us for this gym as part of their "healthy living" thing, but if it didn't I'm not sure if I would go. I hate paying 50 a month to see landwhales text on machines that I need to use, taking up space and doing nothing. I've literally had to approach a few and tell them I've noticed them doing nothing for the last twenty minutes, I need to finish this shit up so can you waddle elsewhere? Preferably Planet Fatness or off a cliff?

Sucks to be that poor trainer who got roped into this.

People get really into it, like a cult.

Perfect description of my sister. She's currently saving up for a flight ticket to Amsterdam to participate in one of those recorded bodypump sessions.
Like, bitch you're paying over a grand a year to work out for 45 minutes twice a week and do the same things I do for free when going outside, except I can go whenever and as often as I want to. Spend two hours googling Calisthenics programs, pick something for every muscle you want to train and you're set. "But they have a new program every couple of months" - yeah, composed of the same exercises EVERYBODY ELSE uses. The only thing you're getting is shitty pop remix music with way too much bass being played at a way too high volume.

You guys sound like some of my gym buddies and I at one of the bases I've previously been stationed. I think we'd have gotten along swimming.

They hire trainers because they're not disciplined enough to do it without someone telling them the whole time.

But even then they're not disciplined enough and just bitch and argue and whine about everything the trainer says

Yea, I don't even acknowledge their bitching when they get to doing it.

No, he's too concerned that being on FPH could put his career in jeopardy. TBH he's not too keen on me being an active member either 😕

NASA should find out what that fabric was made of. Had to take a giggle break that early in the post.

I weigh 300 lbs, but I'm short so that means I'm small, right? Right, guys? Guys?

You've caught that desperate tone so beautifully

I try, thank you.
