STOP HOGGING THE GYM and the WEIGHTS area! I got news for you...you are not the only one that lifts. Now, I know you look DAMN GOOD lifting...but let me stay on track, it is not YOUR gym. Us ladies get it in too.

I went to the gym the other day with my fellow MFP girl Dollface and the men were claiming alllllllllll the benches, mirror space, free weights, etc. We HAD to make our presence known and take over.

Okay, I'm through with my rant! But ladies, feel free to chime in :0 SMH to the men... Have a blessed day!

    I hear you, but two women were lifting the other day, directly in front of the weight rack and the mirror. I just walked over to the rack and stood there until they moved. What's up with that, anyhow?!

    I went to a gym in England a few months ago. The cardio sections were fairly empty, but once I got to the weight room it was overflowing with men. As a woman I felt like I was crashing a party. :smile: I'm pleased to say that at my local gym in Norway things are starting to even out! Spin classes, weight section and treadmills are used by both men and women, the exeption is Zumba, only one or two men ever go in there...

    First come, first serve young lady. Beat me to the bench or dumbbells and its all yours but don't complain if I got there first and don't complain if I do 5 sets!

    Actually with those beautiful eyes of yours I'd probably melt and ask if you want my bench! ; ) and just move on to something else.

    I'm not shy at all...but I have to make them respect me. They act like its "their" area - not common ground.....

    I like being the only Male in Body Combat class.......

    I am glad that my GYM is large enough that it is easy for everyone to grab some weights.

    I don't generally "hog" machines/benches/mirrors, but I also don't like sharing UNLESS YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH ME ON WEIGHT. I don't have patience to unload/reload plates between each set.

    I tried Zumba....ONCE. I looked like I was having a severe allergic reaction. :laugh:

    I guess I just wasn't cut out for that type of cardio. I'll stick to the treadmill/elliptical/cycles....they seem to be more my style.

    At least you women can flirt your way in to getting a bench or a set of dumbbells if you need one.
