I was on holidays last week and managed to find a local gym. It’s a handy gym but gets busy mid morning and there is limited equipment - like one “cage” to do squats or dead’s. One lady in there decided to use this cage and barbell for her extra heavy barbell curls with 1.25kg plate each side

You could probably name a hundred exercises people do weirdly at the gym, but one that keeps bopping up in my mind is like a leg press on the assisted pull-up machine!

It needs to be sent to the graveyard IMO.

Not that I care (humblebrag cause I don’t use the assist) but it really is weird, is there any advantage over that to a standard leg press or squat?
 
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Congrats you win this thread Mofra. that is beyond gross
I don't know I reckon that time the crusty skin flakes left on a bench bar ended up on my face was worse
 
Well, what is he supposed to do? Get out of the shower, put on his bathrobe? Go all the way down to the other end? Come all the way back?

It's all pipes, what's the difference!
Different pipes go to different places. You're gonna mix them up!

People wearing inappropriate clothing or just looking to pose in their gear than have any intention of using the gym for its primary use,

Irritating things for me recently was my gym (Blackwood Fitness) shutting down just before Christmas. They were crazy cheap ($155 for a year). Obviously too crazy cheap as they've gone under with debt. Still got 7 years of crazy cheap gym out of them.

Now going to a 24 hour Zap just up the road for $9.95 a week. So still not too bad a price (and my Blackwood membership 'loss' is around $30 on time left so not stressing too much, like the people who got Memberships as Christmas gifts). Upside there is can go to gym at 5.25, home about 6.45 for shower and breakfast and not lugging a gym bag then to work.

Downsides are a smaller gym so missing a Reverse Hyper Machine (good for me with a bulging disc) and their roof is too low, so I can't do Muscle Up's there without hitting it. Most sad though is so far (been there a week) is the 5.30 - 6.45 crowd just doesn't have the quantity or quality of eye candy I used to get. :(

Change gym?
 
Air quality - got to the gym a little early this morning, whole centre closed due to the air quality.
Did a high rep leg session in the park but it just wasn't the same.

Interesting, seeing as getting to the gym involves you going outdoors where the air quality is the same or worse. The business must be mitigating any risk of patrons worsening any health issues they currently have.

Well according to Facebook the gym is now open but the poll is still shut. It's confusing.
