Home gym.
Or start with purchasing a weight set and bands. No distractions and cuts drive time out. :flowerforyou: 0 -
It lifts weights with the stupid fat hobbits and the precious. No female creatures come over to it while it lifts or near the filthy weights. They run on the eliptical thing they do.0

This post you just typed was totally useless to me. I get up and be at the gym on most mornings at 5:30 am sweets....but I go when I can get it in. AND MY MONEY IS GREEN LIKE EVERYONE ELSES - You know what? You are a Non factor and I am not going to waste typing anymore. Just GTHOH!well..keep in mind that they are there to work out too....they are not hogging the equipment they are using it also... Maybe dont rant on MFP because clearly there is nothing that can be done on here to fix your situation!!! Maybe ask to work in with the guys and start sharing the equipment!!! If ya went to a ladies only fitness center do you think that there wouldn't be ladies there hogging the equipment too!!??!! if no, them maybe wouldnt a womans only gym be better suited for your needs???? Doesnt matter what gym you go too your not going to get your equipment all the time...with the training i am doing i cant get the equipment i need at the time i would like to go.. so i get up at 5.30am everyday and hit the gym.. Its sooo early no one is there and i can use what ever i want!! maybe give that a whirl!! and if your to lazy to get up at that time to get your work out in.. than clearly its not that big of an issue for you..0 -
LOLWalk right up the the biggest looking guy in the place and punch him. That should set the tone.0 -
Girl please, thats my area...I go straight in between the men & start lifting....I luv that, its what I call the "eye candy" area...I get 2 stare! LMBO!!!!!!!!
yesssssss. this right here. lmao0 -
Grow a set. Most people are at the gym to workout. Do you see men pissing and moaning because all of the cardio machines are taken by all the ladies?
Seriously, though...why not ask the person if you can alternate your reps? Maybe you'll make a new workout buddy.0 -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!! made my morning dude.0

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 would give my weights up to you anytime you asked for them. All you have to do is walk into the middle and tell them to step aside and they probably would.:bigsmile:0 -
Just epic that made my dayIt lifts weights with the stupid fat hobbits and the precious. No female creatures come over to it while it lifts or near the filthy weights. They run on the eliptical thing they do.0 -
Well thank you. I know so many women that "fear" going on the "men" side of the gym. I told them, that's the place to be! Last week when I went, a group of men actually complimented us for doing a good job on lifting. I did love the respect they gave us for actually working and being serious about our fitness.STOP HOGGING THE GYM and the WEIGHTS area! I got news for you...you are not the only one that lifts.

If you gave her your weights should would not be able to pick them up
I rarely work out on the far left of the free weights. Dems for girlies!0 -
A friend and I walk into the male dominated weight area.
I am 50 lbs overweight, look pregnant, have no boobs, I'm drenched in sweat from cardio, and I'm pretty sure I smell bad.
Me : Hey, you almost done with that bench?
Huge Buff Guy : Not really.
Me : Okay.
Huge Buff Guy : Give me 10 minutes and come back for it. Ok?
10 minutes later ............
Huge Buff Guy : You ready?
Me : yep
Huge Buff Guy : Let me just wipe that down for you. Have a nice night. Keep it up.
Me : ............................................................................... I think I love you a little.0 -
I'll ask to work in...the best day was when I had to move the pin to a heavier weight for my pull-downs! The dude was simultaneously impressed and mortified... Good times!
That's so awesome!0 -
Maybe I didn't make this clear in my initial post. I DO LIFT, I DO ROTATE IN WITH MEN, I AM NOT AFRAID TO ASK A MAN HOW MANY SETS DO THEY HAVE, I GET IT DONE...but its not the easiest. I have to demand respect in the weight area, where as other men do not. Also, this wasn't to be so serious. I'm just bringing it to the MEN attention that they have a tendacy to do this...and some of the women who are just starting off are intimidated by the weight area because of this....Jeesh!
~~~~~~~~~~All you up tight people need to get laid!!!~~~~~~~~~ LMAO! Lighten up!0 -

I have no problem with the self admiration in the mirror- I don't look at them, I have no problem with the multitude of sets, I just move on to my next exercise, I do have a problem with the he men who grunt and groan through a hard set and walk away leaving 8 - 45lb plates on the machine for me to remove.
I live with 2 pigs {aka sons} and a husband. Its bad enough spending my days picking up after them, and to have to go to the gym and pick up after strangers!0 -

Thanks- I was in a bulk phase0 -
Men, be honest....you think that SOME women are there just wasting time...
I think some men are there just wasting time too, when I see some of the ridiculous exercises they do. 4 different types of bicep curls, but no compound lifts. Puh-lease.0 -

At my gym a lot of the guys there are wasting time. Lot's of 13 yr olds come in after school and all share the 15 pound weight and rotate between the 6 of them for an hour. Besides wanting to tell them they are stupid, I want them to just GET OUT OF MY WAY. Then there are guys who take three machines up they leave all the weights out and dirty towels on "their" benches. THAT pisses me off. SHARE WITH ME.0

"ask and ye shall receive" ( In a mannered way of course :laugh: )
respect if your in the free weights section0 -
I have the same problem in my gym. Although I think it is the fault of the gym rather than the fault of the men. I tend to go during off peak hours (because I can and it's much nicer when it's quiet!) but still the weights section is overloaded with men. Our gym is split about 75% cardio and 25% weights. I fail to understand why they have it set out like this when in my experience I can hardly ever get near the weights because they are so busy. Recently I did a head count for interest. There were 6 people using cardio and 19 using weights. I really wish they would expand the weights section. I have suggested this to them. I work in an industry that is 95%+ male dominated. I am used to holding my own and not easily intimidated by men, however when I'm working out I feel more shy than usual. Most of the guys at my gym are friendly enough, but I just feel uncomforable around large numbers while they are grunting, strutting about and comparing willies or whatever it is they do between sets.0

I never ask to work in on the squat rack or anything else that involves racking and unracking plates--only the cable machines. I do however, have no issue with asking how much longer someone's going to be if I need the squat racknor something. One time, the two young men who were using it when I asked about how many more sets they had came and found me to let me know they were done. I loved that!0

I LOOOOOOOOVE Body Combat.
I go to Gold's gym...and it is huge...but all MEN are working on beefing their chest up...can't get a bench for nothing...without waiting around till they get off - that slows my momentum down...when I am there with Sweetie...I don't have that problem.
Men, be honest....you think that SOME women are there just wasting time...
Truth? Yeah, there's one I know of, and I can describe her for you.....she shows up looking like she's going to a dance club (or maybe on the set of In Living Color)....piles on a bunch of makeup and loads of perfume, walks on the treadmill patting little bits of sweat off herself....kinda reminds me of Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion
And yeah, I've seen some seriously narcissistic guys out there too, and would agree anyone sitting in front of a mirror admiring themselves instead of actually doing the work is a douche0
