Gotta love people in the gym after new years

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.

Eric is right. They'll be gone before month's end. I saw some women of the bovine type today.

Just smile and remember if it weren't for the resolutioners who come in for a month and are never seen again (but keep their membership active) the people who routinely use the gym would be paying 100/month.

That's actually a really good way of thinking about it.

Yes, the have every right to be there and I try not to bitch about people too much but sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're just annoying. I went pretty late tonight to avoid traffic. Showed up about 9pm and it's still pretty busy...damn. A couple that got on my nerves were the ones that were just sitting on equipment, texting, talking on cell, or just watching TV. Also, I was walking towards the water fountains and two chunky chicks were using them, no big deal. Once they stop, they start talking to eachother...and keep talking to eachother right in front of the fountains. I'm sitting there waiting, and didn't feel like taking my headphones off to say "excuse me" or anything, plus I really just don't like talking to people at the gym, just figured that since there were four people in line behind them including me they'd get the picture. After about a minute or so they finally stop talking and move. One of my little pet-peeves that might not be a big deal to others is putting the damned dumbbells back where they go. They're all out of order minus the heavy ones of course. The funny thing that I saw was this group of fat hispanic chicks that all they did for 20 minutes was walk from the front desk, to where the medicine balls and mats were over and over. I was doing cardio the entire time and I still can't figure out what they were doing. Fun times. Hopefully after January it'll either starting thinning out, or they'll learn basic gym etiquette.
