When doing pull ups he's always there and twice he has put his hand on my shoulder, the other one on my stomach and then he told me he was helping me get the right form for kipping pull ups.
He shows up alot when I'm lifting.. He'll tell me to move like that, bend over a little more, use the power from my hips, spread my legs a little bit and...
Wait.. You're talking about random dudes.. I'm describing my coach...
the next time he touches you, kick him squarely in the yam bag and tell him: "That's what you get for 'coaching'."
Yeah I should definitely do that! and next time he tells me to lower my *kitten* during deadlifts I should file a sexual harassment complaint..
Oh wait.. I pay him a *kitten* load of money for telling me where my *kitten* is supposed to be.. never mind.
I want a career change immediately! Getting paid for telling a woman where her *kitten* is supposed to be sounds like a great career choice! Damn you high school guidance counselor for not helping me recognize what my true calling should be!
Damn that guidance counselor.. He should have told you to be a crossfit trainer or an Olympic lifting coach
I'm so old Crossfit wasn't a thought yet.
I wish it had been! 1 -

You may need to just find a different gym, that caters to a different class of guy. Your story made me think of the funny (to me) Planet Fitness ads, If you haven't seem them, they are on YouTube. They promise 'NO LUNKS' but I've never been to one.
That's the gym I go to. They do set the alarm off when a lunk walks in or if a person is acting like they need to make excess noise while doing weights. I've heard they kick people out for being loud and obnoxious while working out.
I thought that was just a marketing gimmick and a myth. I've never seen anything like that happen at my gym (PF.) Nobody walks in and gets lunk-alarmed just for looking a certain way. And there are plenty of peacocks grunting, posing and preening all over the place. My PF has all the same types of people I've seen at all the other gyms I've been to, including the chick who works out in a tube top and the few oddballs running on treadmills in their jeans. It's just cheaper and conveniently open 24/7. That's why I go there. I don't think our lunk alarm is even hooked up.
I've heard that alarm go off atleast once a session. At first I didn't know why a weird alarm went off but then I read the lunk statement on the wall. I have also seen some odd people there too. Chicks that come in half naked like it's the beach( never knew you had to be half naked to workout).0 -
I HATE this! I'm the "biggest" person at the gym I go to, and it sucks. I can't tell if people are looking while judging positively or negatively. I try not to focus on it, but I can't help it. I don't end up working as hard as I should, because I feel so ashamed.
I never cared, until I was being mocked and laughed at by a group of guys at my old gym. Now I'm pretty paranoid.0 -

Complaining...0 -
I look all around the place. I'm not staring at particular people, I'm just noticing the general goings-on. I don't mind if people happen to look at me. It might bother me if some creeper were intently staring, wiping away the drool, but that never happens. I think most of the "looks" you're getting are probably just people glancing around and you just happen to be in their field of vision.
This ^^^ but if I happen to catch someone's eye I give them a big smile1 -

I stare at the guy I have a crush on (I try not to be obvious about it, but hell, it happens) and occasionally I notice people looking at what I'm doing. Particularly if I'm doing 'weird *kitten*' (as in, not the norm, but variations of exercises that people normally do) or if i'm being particularly beast-mode-ly and the grunts are happening towards the end of the sets. I do try to keep the grunting down - so not screaming all over the joint - but I can't help it, I grunt to get the last heavy ones out.
PS - I always look like a complete mismatched dag - I don't fashion coordinate or anything like that, so I very highly doubt people are looking at what I look like, but more at what exercise I'm doing.2 -

I have to ask.... maybe I'm a small town hillbilly, but what the hell is a lunk alarm? Is there really such strictness elsewhere for gym dbags?
Go to youtube and search for Planet Fitness ads, 'no lunks' is part of their branding that they are the place for regular people.0 -
Yes. Apparently I get talked about at my gym. I asked someone to spot me, and he said that the guys ask if they've seen me workout. And a PT using the equipment I was near said "I've seen you workout."

I avoid the free weights because of that reason alone. Guys everywhere in that area. Mirrors everywhere. I can peacefully workout on my cardio machines because ya know the relationship between most guys and cardio. Non-existent.
This breaks my heart a little bit.1 -

Evidently. I hear that they also have tootsie rolls in a dish at the reception desk.
I wish there was one close by my house.
It would be worth the ten dollar membership fee just to get banned for life because of a proper, soul crushing training session.1 -
Maybe they're not actually looking AT you, but when you suddenly glance toward them, they freak out and look away.1
