Things you have noticed in the gym

I see a lot at planet fitness but here lately the most stupid is.. 16-25 yr old males that pull up their shorts constantly to “show off” their legs after doing squats and quad curls for 3 months, embarrassing

I get to travel around the country and visit different planet fitness locations. The gymfuckery is legend at times. The craziest planet fitness I've been to is in Eureka, CA. I've seen furries, other costumes, tweakers, one guy who shadow fights every time I see him. Another guy who shows up sometimes in a gigantic diaper with safety pin to match.

The people on the coast are just odd.

I use to work out at the local Y for damn near a decade. There was a guy there that was a brick shithouse. Chiseled like a drafthorse and had the face and jaw line of a guy named Magnus straight out of the Bolshevik revolution. He worked out there for years, never talked to him as he always had a serious look on his face. In my mind I pictured him saying, “let me man handle your wife…” Nope sorry, we’re good Magnus. So fast forward, I’m at this local bar and I hear a feminine male voice behind me say, “do you want another” to some other dude. To my shock and amazement, it was that guy. It was at that very moment I realized that I was no longer afraid he was going to man handle my wife.

This will come off as elitist...BUT Planet fitness is so bloody cheap it gets everyone and his brother in there.

My wife and I didn't want to do it but we joined a higher end gym and it made a huge difference in the quality of people.

Hoping someone else on here has seen this, and if the Jason Bourne I am speaking of is on here I would love to know your "why".

In Fort Collins I have been going to Alive by Raintree for a while. I really like it and have had only good experiences.

However, Jason Bourne goes there too it seems. The dude in question just shadow boxes around the gym, like the whole gym. He will set up something that appears to be a speed bag up in the middle of the cable machines and will "box" there taking up a couple different machines. Every single time he is in there he is shadow boxing everywhere. It is truly insane.

Then outside of the gym, I was headed up into the foothills, driving along Horsetooth reservoir and I see Jason running up the hill. He is of course shirtless and shadow boxing his way up the road.

He is decently in shape, but really does not appear to be an actual fighter. Just shows up to shadowbox and make everyone uncomfortable.

Would love to know what his deal is, but absolutely will never approach him IRL haha.

Anyone posting a legitimate member or witness of the 405 BP club? 540 DL?

I get a kick out of posers--kids that will never reach the top of the mountain. I see this everywhere.

Ain’t even close and know there’s no shot of being in contention either.

I’ve never seen a 540 DL in person, but have seen a single 405 bench. 60 year old guy that hit it for reps after being called old by us high schoolers. I’ve never seen anyone else within 100 pounds.

Yes. Id bet there’s a handful on here in fact for one of those categories.

I sure hope so--the view is always better looking from the top.

Better to have wrestled and lost than play basketball.

Oh I agree 100%. I have a second membership in my home town to a gym with some of the best equipment I've ever used. There are a lot of members that are competitors there. So there is a higher level of seriousness and I rarely have to wait to use equipment. But since I travel a lot, Planet Fitness is a necessity for me.
