People at the gym who sit on a machine or hog dumbbells while they check Facebook are the worst kind of people

Op i agree. it sounds like a lot of people here are the type that go to the gym and sit on the bike and play on their phone and then wonder why they still got the doughboy stomach. People like that need to go to planet fitness and eat pizza while the rest of us go crush weight without them.

Brw kpmg3 As much as you want to sound like a gym rat hating and asking people to go pizza, i bet you look like a fat clown yourself so stop talking smack about people who have nothing to do with you. If you want a machine , just go ask- dont crib!

I'm ok with people taking breaks between sets and if they want to check Facebook that's fine. But you have to let people work in. It's not your private gym.

Yeah.. agree with OP

What's ironic is that people like D1 Will preach about how that person paid for their membership just like you did but then turn around and bitch and moan on Fishbowl about a passenger on the same flight as them that also paid for a ticket that does something that goes against commonly acceptable etiquette rules like crowding the gate before their group is called or taking up too much overhead space.

Damn. That escalated quickly. Happy Saturday y'all.

No. The worst people are the ones who don't re rack their weights or continuously stare at you. Or the guys who walk around balls out in the sauna. Those are the worst. Taking a break in between sets on Facebook I can deal.

like

Hahahaha uh oh looks like the doughy stomach comment hit home. Show me on the doll where the internet hurt your feelings.

like

How about use your social skills and ask if you can use the dumbbells between sets

like

The worst are people who lift directly in front of the dumbbell racks. Right up there with the ones who dont re rack

like

Man I didn't think so many people could disagree w OP on this. My guess is if you're confused by this you probably look the exact same you did a year ago. Enjoy your routine.

like

Completely agree with OP. If you're looking at your phone at all while at the gym you're not really working out. Anyone who is defending guy scrolling on Facebook is likely weak and cannot lift heavy weights.

Hello everyone! I’ve been working for 3 years in a large corporation as market assistance. Although I’m among the 5 top performers, and have always work hard to serve the team, and went beyond by job description to be the best employee, I got no chance to grow. So I was offered a position as BDR to another company with more possibilities to grow. I love the idea of starting fresh, but at the same time I’m scared to leaving a stable job. Has anyone been through the same transition? Srry my Englis
