Work Out / Gym people

[bugzy]

Just thought id see who's a regular gym person.

I just started back up since like 2000 when I use to work out regularly.

I'm at LA Fitness

but figured I'd ask around who else in SoCal, specifically San Diego works out

maybe a schedule and which gym they go to

[jr_scheiBe]

24hr fitness 3 times a week

run 25-30 miles per week

soon biking..... and swimming

[MrFast4Ward]

[GTi_01]

[sensinitas]

Used to go to Frog's in Encintas till I moved. Best gym I've ever been to...hands down. In the gym 3 to 4 days a week to lift weights, with 2 days of cardio (running 3 to 5 miles), and a couple days of skating or surfing.

[PhätTony]

*whispers* no you dont, its called going out for a drive.

[3THREE7]

I used to have an LA Fitness membership for a couple of years, then switched over to 24 HR Fitness because I only pay $10/month! :D Lately my workouts have been extremely inconsistent because of my school schedule.

[SUNNYMK4]

i work out at the gym on 32nd naval base. three days a week on weight lifting and no cardio, i've been trying to bulk up a bit.

[318daily]

24 hour fitness in Rancho Bernardo. I have the cheap membership that only allows me to workout on Tues, Thur, Sat. and Sun. I only spend tue and thur in the gym. The rest of the time I'm skating, surfing, and just trying to live active. Been doing a lot of swimming lately too.

[RavinJetta]

I go to the LA Fitness in Mira Mesa after work. Usually 4-5 days a week with about 20 minutes or basketball, 1:15 of lifting and 30 minutes of cardio. I really like the gym and it has pretty much everything I could ask for. I use to belong to the YMCA in Mission Valley which was really nice as well. Each cardio machine had its own flat screen with cable.

To the guy at L.A. fitness yesterday who trounced from the shower all the way back to the locker without drying off. WTF were you thinking? The huge puddle of water you left on the floor made the space unusable for others. I needed to use the space too, but couldn't because I didn't want to get my socks wet. It's a damn good thing you were outta there before I walked in. In your mind you obviously view yourself as a pillar in our society and one that we should all strive to achieve. You have no concern for anyone but yourself, and you should have some courtesy for your fellow club members.

While I'm at it, let's go over some basic yet intuitive (for those who actually get life) rules for locker room etiquette - these are things I have seen at one time or another - in no particular order:


1. Get in get out. Don't dally in the locker room. It is not a place to socialize and stand around talking or reading the newspaper. When you linger in the locker room you are taking up valuable real-estate. People don't want to be on top of each other when they are changing and the longer you stay in there the more likely it is that it will start to get cramped. I really don't want to be sitting on the bench putting some socks on with some guy bending over in front of me exposing a hairy black hole inches from my face because you are in the way with the fucking newspaper.

2. No talking on the cell phone. This could go along with number one, but it needs to be mentioned in a separate line. Nobody is interested in hearing you make an appointment for your next colonic, and we're not impressed hearing you make deals with your stock broker, you are a legend in your own mind and you're not impressing anyone. In fact it demonstrates you are an idiot. Or are you really trying to take pictures? Either way you need to get out of the locker room, and not pretend to talk on the phone. Do you actually get off on the sights, smells and sounds of this room to want to stay there any longer than you need to? If so you're sicker than I thought.

3. Use a lock on your locker! It's nice that you trust nobody will steal your shit, but at the same time this is a visual indicator for others coming into the locker room where you are setting up shop. This way as other members enter the locker room they can see where the locks are placed and try to spread things out a bit and not end up on top of each other. I look around think, great I have this whole row to myself, then suddenly your sweaty ass appears opens the door next to mine and proceed to get undressed, all the while getting a good whiff of your butt cheese. Does anyone really like that smell?

4. PLEASE no foot powder on the floor! If I want foot powder I will buy my own. What makes you think you can spread this shit everywhere and that others are going to want to use it too? If you have foot problems I wouldn't be advertising it so if you can't keep it on just your foot don't use it.

5. For christ sakes wear a towel. I'm not interested in seeing your parts swinging around the room, there's nothing special going on down there, in fact why would you think anyone will want to look at it? Believe me it is disgusting to see you shaving in the mirror completely naked with hair protruding from your ass crack, have some decency man and cover it. Your wife should be explaining this to you at home, she might have been into it at one time, but I promise she is not anymore. If you are going to sit on the bench put a towel down or here's a novel idea - wear underwear - keep it covered for christ sakes. The thought of your ass crack spreading open and putting your stink down grosses me out. Also the guy with the foot powder might have just been there spreading his fungus and now your ass is really going to be hurtin.

6. Shower usage - if it is one of those shower areas with no curtains and there are two rows of showers with an aisle down the middle, use the same side as the people already in there. I'm not interested in you taking the shower across the aisle from me. I don't want to exchange pleasantries as you wash the Johnson and and spread your ass lathering up and bent over in an awkward looking stance trying to get the shower spray down there. If I wanted to shower with someone I would do it with my my paramour. I don't want to see it and I don't want you to be staring at me either.

7. The scale - other people use it too, please don't just jump out of the shower and use it. I don't run around in there with my clean bare feet - I wear socks instead. I can't get on the scale because you dripped all over it and I don't want my socks wet the rest of they day in my shoes. Think about the others in the room - it is not all about you.

8. Benches - they are a place to sit down. Not pile up your crap while you take a sauna and shower. WTF are we supposed to do when your shit is all over the bench and we need to sit to put our socks and shoes on? It's great you see the room as your house but perhaps next time I'll see it as my house and do a little cleaning of my own and throw all your shit away.

9. Muddy shoes - I don't fucking get it. Why would you walk in from your construction site and get mud everywhere? I wouldn't come to your home and trounce through your place spreading dirt everywhere. If anyone hasn't told you it is a locker room and other people use it too. I don't want to get out of the shower all clean and have to walk through your muck. If you know you'll be muddy bring an extra change of shoes and put them on before you enter. I know the smartest people in the world don't go to the club, so here's a hint - If your feet are filled with dry dirt, it comes off too, and guess what - turns to mud when it gets wet - Moron.

10. In the shower - shampoo your head and wash your body only. It is not a place to shave your dick and face. Your dick you can take care of at home, I don't want to see it. The face can be done in the sink area outside the shower area - with your towel on. The more time you spend in the shower the more likely it is that other people are going to need in and use it too, we don't want to pile up in there, waiting for the little prince to get all spiffed up. Also I don't want to be the one in there next getting your hairs all over my feet. Why would you think I would like to walk into this?

11. In the sink area. If you are going to shave, wipe up after yourself and keep it covered. Grab a paper towel and clean it up.

12. In the toilet. OK, so you drank heavily the night before had a huge dinner and suddenly its pushing at the back door, great for us huh?! Guess what - we don't want to puke. I almost did a few weeks ago - as if hearing the explosion weren't bad enough the smell drifted around the corner and thirty feet away - it took everything I had to stay conscious. While you should not be denied the use of the fixtures - please flush often, and better yet try to push it out at home first.

13. Clean up after yourself, in the locker and shower areas. Why would you leave your bandages in the shower area? WTF - I'm supposed to use the shower now and have whatever affliction ails you now oozing down between my toes? Razors, soap wrappers, soap - like I'm going to pick that up and use it after being exposed to your ass crack with your ass hairs all over it. Take it away with you. Your mother, who performed an act many years ago (again - great for us, huh?) that resulted in the - apple in her eye - does not live at the gym and is not going to come in and clean up after you. You're not the apple in her eye anymore and you sure the hell ain't in mine. YOU NEED TO PICK IT UP.

For anyone who can't come in and leave a locker room as you found it, you are nothing more than a disgusting animal. Be courteous of others and keep this kind of shit at home.

Well said, and AMEN to that!

One of the reasons I don't go to a "popular" gym (LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, Bally's, etc).

I go to a little small mom n pop style gym. Sure its small and old but I'm never up to my shoulders in peoples stuff in the locker room or on the workout floor and best of all. My one year membership costs your downpayment :):tup:

[JETTAone420]

andi....please share the wealth... 24hours was to expensive for me but i seriously need to get back in shape (mostly running/cardio stuff) since one of the many perks of being naturally fit is taht i only need about 2weeks of gym time to bulk up quick. but it also sucks cuz as soon as i stop i loose it all

[GTiGirl]

I signed up for 24 hour in June - haven't been once. Hahahaha! But I play softball on Mondays and hit either the batting cages (about 125 pitches) or driving range (100 or so balls) once a week too...

One of these days, I'll make it to 24 hour...

[boragirl]

~20 hrs/week swimming, biking, running, core/strength training, and stretching.... yeah i don't think that's normal :hammerh:

[JETTAone420]

:worthless~20 hrs/week swimming, biking, running, core/strength training, and stretching.... yeah i don't think that's normal :hammerh:


if its one thing i cant deny...its a good set of abs

[bugzy]

What La Fitness do you work out at Lon?
in order of use

1. Clairemont Mesa near Walmart
2. Mira Mesa Blvd
3. Poway

[IfYouSeeKay]

24 hr fitness... the one in Fullerton where all the strippers work out. Thank you 24hr Sport.
3 times a week, about 2 hrs each night... Cardio/weight training.
As long as I can stay out of the Bar the other 4 nights, im doing ok. :D

[Bimmer Pilot]

But I play softball on Mondays and hit either the batting cages (about 125 pitches) or driving range (100 or so balls) once a week too...

One of these days, I'll make it to 24 hour...

Goodness, that's like 8 cycles...

I'm done after 2, hope you're using someone else's bat... :cool:

[GTiGirl]

Goodness, that's like 8 cycles...

I'm done after 2, hope you're using someone else's bat... :cool:

It's only 5 cycles at the place I go... it's pretty awesome. I do like 3 slow pitch softball, 1 50 mph fast pitch softball and 1 40 mph hardball. I only use my bats, their balls and such don't damage them. It's all good in the hood. But once I get my new carbon bat, that one won't be going in...

Do they use real balls, or are they the standard cage balls?

[GTiGirl]

Yellow dimpled rubber pieces of poo... The leave a little kiss on my bats, but I don't really care...

[GTiGirl]

I went to the gym today!

[GTiGirl]

OMG... a bunch of my colleagues and I just did a lap around the office of lunges, followed by a 60 second plank pose and 19 pushups!
