How many of you gals out there get 'interference' from guys in the gym. I mean those big hulky Freddy types (Flintstone I mean not you Mr Black before you jump on my case) who thing they know what they're doing but judging by their distorted physic they haven't got a clue
9 times out of 10 when I'm in the gym they're in my face telling me I've got it all wrong and offering me their 'assistance'
Now why they should think they with their chicken calves should be able to give me with my thunder thighs advice on how to shape up is anyone's guess
So to any of you guys who see me in the gym next time, just leave me to exercise my 'ting' (you can meet up with me in the bar afterwards though if you like)

@Sister Africa
If you think that guys in the gym are bad dont ever get yourself a personal trainer!!!
They think they know it All!
And Soooo Dont!!!
A friend of mine who is a personal trainer told me that the problem with them is that they are usually at the peak of physical fitness. So they get all obsessed with Your body instead, and will literally Take over and wanna control Everything you do in their quest for Your physical excellence....
Man are they Tough on ya

Sometimes I see women fannying around in the gym wasting time and it winds me up.
Two women sitting on exercise bikes chatting nicely... CHATTING!! you should be outta breath, you shouldn't be able to chat! come off da ting an let me use it hmph!
A woman on the pec dec ting with 5kg or 10kg.... Be serious woman! you lift more than that on your way home from the supermarket! This applys to many weights even benching but I espcially notice this...
Taking up the punching bag with lil girly slaps while chatting.... what is it with the chatting? shut up and worl out so I can have my turn.
Most women are good in a gym and do their thing and get onwith it but some people... I dunno why some people even bother! what do you get out of half hearted measures, NOTHING! Im the kind of person when I see nonsense thats affecting me I must say something.... I must. I don't 'know it all' but some don't know a damn thing.

What’s up with that?
There is this man at my gym who looks a bit like a water buffalo (Upper body), and has a broomsticks for legs, every time I see him he comes over trying to do a Mr Motivator.... Leave me the hell alone….
I don’t want to be rude so I haven’t said anything however, I usually completely ignore him but he doesn’t seem to get it. I think he thinks he is the business, that’s why he comes around offering unwanted advice.

Ummm I know what you mean! Especially when the gym is busy, they just seat there taking up space. Men do the same as well, may be you can answer this actually….
What’s up with all the skinny guys wearing tight vests… they flex in the mirror, do 10killo bicep curl for 5 reps, then go back to flexing….spend three hours just flexing… why are they taking up my precious mirror space?
What’s up with that?

LOL People watch themselves in the mirror while they doing exercise to make sure their form is correct and the body isn't swinging about. I haven't actually seen anyone blatantly flexing in the gym floor while not doing anything before ha ha ha. How embarassing! Normally they do that in the changing room and it cracks me up!
I know what you mean about the skinny men that show off though... they're entertainment!!

Easy to understand.... they are there to gossip and pick up men!! Or they delude themselves into believing that merely walking into thebuilding and breathin the magic air will make them fit.
You can tell them by the designer gear they wear and the amount of time they spend making sure they look the part.

What price range are we talking about for a gym membership?
Do they have special offers, discounts etc?
Anyone know any good gyms?
Or should I just get some tapes/equipment and workout in the comfort of my own home?

My best advice???
I only go gym for weights and hit bag you don't wanna look like a dude so....
By a bike and ditch the car! Made me fit and it was fun. DO NOT JOG!!
Jogging is an impact thing, the knees suffer a lot in later life. Swimming is good (but the kids in the water are nasty). Thats why I cycle. Do it everywhere and it doesn't become a chore, its just normal. Cycle to your friends, to work, to get the paper etc etc becomes like second nature after a while.
Cheaper in the long run too.

I use to have a bike, but I stopped using it and my uncle has it now! I use to swim then that stopped. (I think a lot of sistas don't swim because of the hair thing). I wouldn't jog, as you said the impact on the joints will affect me later. It's a shame cos I liked skipping.
sounds good, thanks @DM

@ Sista Girl.
I was going to join the gym, but a full time student on a part time wage cant really make those payments they r expecting.
I have Cindy Crawford's workout tape ''The Next Challenge'', it isnt new but i love this tape...i used to work out quite a bit when i was younger and this tape is great (just make sure u have quite a bit of space in ur living room). I also use my mum's exercise bike.
I have only just started but i plan to do the workout along with the bike twice a week, and the bike on it's own once a day.
CHEAP AND CHEERFUL!

This is so the case. Mine had me squatting 60k and I am talking bar and weights free weights. The get your body all worked out and tell you about your potential and that's what THEY are working toward.
But it's useful having sessions with a trainer because once you get the technique right their is no going back.

My problem was man trying to check for me outside when all I want to do is go home and chill. The last time that happened I chucked in going to my local council gym, which I've done over the years. I did a spate in a hard core mans gym but the facilities for women were too sparce. Now I go to a health club, no children and very hygienic with good facilities and healthy eating choices.
I can do easily a two hour workout followed by another hour sauna, steam.
I don't think you can ever quite get away from the flirt thang since I think 50% of training is the bias of body beautiful and after all, when those endorphins kick in you feel so good you wanna engage with someone over something!! But timing is everything, and I'm afraid I am deadly serious, like you, when I'm training so that is sooooo not the time to be interferring. Mind you, I've seen women, in particular, working out on machines and the posture is all wrong but I leave that to the staff to sort out.

Yeah! Man look like a freak, the first time I met him he was in the express work out room doing about 60 push ups at a time, I was in the room for about an hour and the whole time he was working on his upper body only.
He has a fantastic upper body but if you look at them legs, ohh nooo calling them drumsticks (chicken) is being very kind. To make matters worse he wears tiny tight shorts….

I personally know many women who come there and only use the sauna or steam room and go home....
Many men also come and sit by the relaxation area and check for women...

mmmmmmmmm
personal trainers are a farce....
i recently saw my friend i used to work with long time ago...
and he said he's doing personal training... so i jokingly asked him...
so michael... what movement is used for isolating.. lateral medial deltoid head....???
he was totally dumbfounded.. like i was speaking spanish...
i aint no personal trainer either...
what i do is i read... im probably more qualified than 90% of those jokers out there taking people's money....
trust me you dont need no personal trainer... knowlege is key... read.. read read... see the thing is a lot of people... personal trainers to me are more of a status thing for some....
lots of people at my workplace or at uni sometimes.. see me and say oh i wanna train with you... i have guys coming all the way from south to north london to train with me at times... i train quite a few people... basically i let them do the same workout was me... with their level of weight....with my set and rep scheme and i do this for fun no charge....
mmm anyway
read read read and experiment... know what is for your body and what is not ....by trial and error... ...
as for those man what go to gym to look girls.... lol... one of my former training partners is like that "girl hungry"
me...
completely opposite.. lots of models and ftness females train at my gym...
me once i enter the gym.... im all business....
you could even come in naked for all i care... i wouldnt notice quietly in the doing my thing...

I think for some people they need a motivational person who has some knowledge and can help put it into practice for them. It just makes them do some proper exercise, whereas left to their own devices, they either wouldn't look into it enough or wouldn't make the effort.
On the second bit.... yeah mate - I believe you.... thousands wouldn't (etc etc)
