Gotta love people in the gym after new years

[bcoop]

that's kinda hard man....my 1hr workout turns into a 1.5-2 hr workout. I tend to develope a routine with certain machines/stations and when I can't follow that routine, my workout goes to shit since I don't have that much time to spare.

Build your own gym then.

there were only 8-10 other people at 24 hour on Alma/Parker at 1pm today

Fucking walking idiots all over the running treadmills. If you are gona walk use the damn sorry treads and leave the good ones for people who run @ 10.0 mph pace and not 2-4 mph pace newyears people..

had to run laps on the b-ball court the last 3 days and that REALLY blows..

How do you not twist your ankle through all the corners running a 10mph pace?

The attitude like this is also why some people don't feel welcome at a gym.

Ya its a little more crowded. Be patient and be kind. No sense in getting your Panties in a wad.

it must be bad at the first of each year for you gym goers. hell I get tired of seeing this thread start every January lol

[Broncojohnny]

This is a wonderful time of year. However, I usually don't notice much difference since I go in early in the morning. At least I haven't in the past couple of years. I am going in tomorrow morning for the first time since New Years so we will see. Night time is always a damn zoo though. Usually they are all gone again within two weeks.

Not sure if your place is the same, or if your schedule allows, but at the LA Fitness I use there was no noticeable change in the lunchtime crowd.

There's hardly a change around lunch time, it's the after work til 10pm crowd that increases for the most part.

someone should come up with some t-shirts.....

"Gym etiquette...learn it!"

"I'm here to lift, not lolligag!"

Branch Warren always used to wear a shirt that said...

"Yo Faggot" on the front of it.
"Quit talking to me while I'm training" on the back of it.

It used to crack me up seeing people's reactions to it!

There are a lot of miles of road and trails in and around the Dallas area.

Yup. Probably a 20% bump yesterday as opposed to last Wednesday. Resolutions and 3 month memberships pouring on in! Lots of folks getting the Gym Tour and hearing about 'beginner packages' for personal training.

Now that I can only workout 2hrs during my lunch hours, I mow them lazy fucks over as my time is very limited!

I too run into a lot of people just sitting on the machines, so I just walk over, drop my gear right next to them and just stare until they feel uncomfortable enough to either start lifting, get up, or ask me if I want to work in with them.

I do not mind sharing and actually offer to share a machine if I am on it and even sense another person wants to use it.

I try to be nice and polite to people, but others around me know that I am there to do a job, not lolligag around.

[Sleeper]

There where aloot of new faces last night haha.

I watched a few walk around and talk mostly.

Most just use the treadmills, so this leaves the weight room free. I will just have to wait to get my cardio in if needed.
