should i complain about this crap?

there are ppl who use my gym in the mornings just to use the shower
there are 2 private bathrooms with showers
everyday this one guy comes in to take a shower and leaves
it pisses me off because ive never seen him workout
but its just one bathroom taken so whatever
but today two people came in to the gym to only use the shower!
and then that guy came in and waited for a bathroom to open up
dont these ppl have like houses or apartments?
i put in a good workout before showering and going to work
i allot myself plenty of time so thats not an issue, it just pisses me off though
gym is for hitting it hard! and there is an added convenience of showering there also
its not a hotel or your house
do i have the right to complain to a manager?

Why do you care? I have used my gym shower instead of my home shower at various times for many reasons - construction on my house, better water pressure, hurricane Sandy left me without power for a week. As long as the person isn't sneaking into the gym and is actually a member, you have no reason to complain.

I could understand the frustration if you were a person who worked out every morning and really needed to use the shower before work and this was holding you up. But then a gym with only two showers could present this problem often, whether or not the other people had worked out.

lots of self entitled folks here, such is our country these days
"IF I PAY FOR THIS THEN I CAN DO THAT AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!"
this isnt even about me
its about doing the right thing for all
no one that is homeless is paying 70/month to take a shower
no one is using a gym shower for the past YEAR because their bathroom is still under repair
the only thing i can think of is that the bathrooms are really nice
and these folks prefer them to their own
that is a self centered reason when ppl who actually workout need to use them too
gyms have showers for those who workout and sweat and have somewhere to be
if you have no plans of working out, you are self entitled for using their private bathroom
its that simple.
think of others before yourself always and do whats right

Yep. Just proved it.

I used to do this. I bought a membership at a gym specifically to use the shower/bathroom. Yes, I had an apartment, but I was living out of my car because my boyfriend was also on the lease and I was trying to get out of an emotionally abusive relationship. Why do you care if people who use the bathroom workout or not? As long as they pay their dues, it doesn't matter. That's silly.

This is what I'm saying. It's impossible to think of the myriad of reasons a person might choose to use their gym membership this way. Long commute home? Need a shower between work and school?...or vice versa. Last three days they worked out but showered at home due to forgetting their toiletries. This time they are doing the opposite? Why would you want to police this? Possibly they worked out as a walk to the gym and didn't use the machines there too much. Also how is OP so certain that this person did not work out. Is she in every corner of the gym? Is the manning the security cameras? Is she omnipotent?

Do they pay to use the facilities? If yes, then no, you do not have the right to complain to a manager.

A gym with two showers is like a boat with no bottom f@&king useless .

*now that you're bringing up reasons, 70/month sounds cheaper than any rent I've heard of.
** you have been watching this person's behavior for a YEAR? stalker is stalking.
***luckily the world is not limited to only things you "can think of".

In closing however I would like to add that I have now come up with the next Shark Tank idea. A gym where you may only use the shower if you have put in a qualifying workout. SOOOO motivating. And like you don't get any shampoo unless you do crunches. And unless you wanna walk out with straw like hair, you better put in some squats to earn that conditioner.

This one time I was homeless. I had to live out of my car. I also had a gym membership (attained before homelessness) that i couldnt get out of - turned out to be handy since i needed to get clean every few days so i looked okay at work.

that really happend.
you never do know what other people are going through.

If you know for sure they don't have a membership and you are having to wait for non members to shower so you can get to work on time, then by all means tell the manager. But if you don't know for a fact they don't have a membership then you may be beyond your limitations in saying anything. For instance, I knew people in my gym who would run in the track near the gym and then come in for a shower. They were members but instead of weights or treadmill, they went running. If it might be possible they were running then they may be within their rights to shower.

Don't feed the troll after midnight or get it wet. God forbid it reproduces.

tlgondek1

Why are you following other men around to the point that you know if they've worked out or not? :huh: Uh, that's kinda creepy. Also, this thread made me laugh so hard.

If the OP's worst problem in life is this, then I would like to trade places.

My friend uses her gym only to shower--she runs to work and since the gym is right at her office, it makes sense for her just to shower there.

is anyone going to back me up on this?
i know most americans have a "ME ME ME" attitude
but there has to be some of us left still out there?
i will always think of what is good for everyone involved before i do something for myself
i just cant imagine using a private gym shower during peak morning work commuter hours if im not working out
this isnt about just the gym. its about this mindset that permeates every facet of society

This post sounds an awful lot like "ME ME ME" attitude. Except that you're the "ME" in question.

Seriously, if you allot enough time each day for your own shower, who cares if someone else is using something that he paid for? If he had exercised, he'd still be showering, so what's the difference? How does this actually hurt you?

The guy using his gym membership to shower is a nationalist problem?

TemikaThompson

STOP HATING! As long as they are not using your shower, then you shouldn't worry about it. Since you use your own shower why do you even care. You just pissed me off! You don't know WHAT there situation IS! YOu can use the treadmill, the weights, or the freaking shower! It's all included!

usernameMAMA

They should report a creeper watching their every move.

goalss4nika

1. Mind your business.
2. Are the showers not included in the price of membership?
3. Mind your business.

delaniecastillo

OP, you should definitely tell management. Tell them that you pay your $70 a month and need your showertime after working out! It's only fair. Also, I bet that guy coming and taking a shower each time is probably having an affair on his wife. You should totally follow him and then tell his wife, gf, and his employer.
That'll teach him from taking away from your precious shower time and making you wait like a creeper, breathing heavily , and waiting for his wet body to exit the shower.

fionarama

love it! he probably IS having an affair what a brilliant explanation!

The OP doesn't even SHOWER at the gym.

That's the kicker!

How dare the OP use up the gym equipment!! I bet thats why the person only showers there, OP is all over the equipment stinking the place up.

leebesstoad

If they are dues paying members of the gym (which I"m assuming they are since they get in), they get to chose which services of the gym they will utilize. Some use the weight room, some use the sauna, some use the track or basketball court or pool. This person uses the shower. Who in the hell do you think you are to decide what services each individual person gets to utilize. The gym membership covers all services and each member chooses for themselves what they wish to use.

Or they could be like most gym members and not use any of them.

MYOB.

And maybe, JUST maybe if every single person here is telling you that you are wrong, it might be a good idea for you to consider that you could possibly be wrong.

Maybe?

Just possibly?

Instead of being the only correct person here?

This is amusing. Also, not everyone here is American, but they still think in unison. Rampage against the Western society sound intriguing?

Excuse me, I know this may not be the right time or place for this but, what the heck, I'm an american.
