    I don't worry about such things! I roll my *kitten* out of bed at 5am and take my *kitten* to the gym. Been going to the same dank gym on base a few years now! The one that allows chalk! Every once in a while a new face appears, but most won't last. Even the hardcore gym goers will change to later day workouts! A few new faces will probably appear after the New Year, and if they wanna join the club, I welcome them! If they don't, then they will either quit or move their gym time to later in the day!

    I honestly don't understand why anyone cares! Go to the gym! Do your thing! We all start somewhere! I started as a 16 yr old 145lb little weakling and was intimidated because I felt I was being judged! Apparently I was right!

    I bet a million dollars most people posting on this are fairly new to the gym as well...just because you've been going a year or two doesn't make you an expert!

    I find that the biggest reason people don't stick to being healthy is that this wasn't the goal in the first place. Too many people just want the look.....Most people just wanna be skinny not healthy.

    So, so true! I think part of the reason why I was never able to lose the weight (and then keep it off) before is because I didn't care much about health, I only wanted to be skinny. Until you become passionate about being HEALTHY, you'll never be able to lose the weight and keep it off.

    I hope a lot of them decide to stick around and educate themselves and make this a lifestyle choice.

    This.... meanwhile back the eff off my squat rack!!!

    There's only one squat rack at our gym and I often have to wait for it already, which I can't do for long with a baby in the crèche. I really, really, really hope all the newbies are cardio bunnies...

    Same here minus the baby. Only one squat rack. I wish what that one guy said about the gym being empty early afternoon of resolutionists was true. Every year, there they are. Making my socially awkward self even more awkard. And occupying the single squat rack doing curls.

    They've already started to show up at my gym. I'm indifferent, unless I can't get a treadmill.

    I wonder if they feel the same about them getting a treadmill after they have paid the same Gym membership as everyone else?
