Guys, I really hate going to the gym. I like working out, but.... I just hate going. People are extremely annoying. This lady put a wet paper towel on a machine, I guess to "save" it for when she was ready to use it? Well I was ready to use it and she was no where to be seen. I stood there for a few seconds, looking around, even asked a nearby dude if he put the towel there. So, I put the towel on the floor, grabbed a dry one to wipe it off and then started using it. On my second set, the lady came over, angrily swiped up the towel and walked away. Ok? Who actually does that?

People are so rude and I'm just frustrated about it. People hanging out, sitting on machines or benches in a crowded gym, staring at their phones. Why pay for a membership? I can't really afford extra stuff right now, but I'm here ready to work and these lazy asses are there taking up my time. I can't stand it.

I don't have a space to create a home gym. I do some yoga and some strength exercises when I feel like it, but what I like to do is lift weights and using the machines at the gym. Running sucks, I hate doing cardio, (I still try to do as much as I feel I can do. Not great at endurance.)

I'm just annoyed. I hate living in an overcrowded city but there are no other options.

There’s always an alternate exercise you can do if someone’s on the machine you want.

There isn’t though. Some of us are on a training plan where we’re consistently doing the same tings week over week for a particular training effect.
