There are two gyms I go to (24hr fitness). The second, I go to mostly to help my mom with her workouts. I’m working towards becoming a personal trainer, and may work as one at this gym. One of these days, as I was working with her, his man was sitting nearby, watching. He interrupts, asking if I’m a trainer. After a bit, he tells me I look like I should be in a commercial for underarmour; that I have a nice body. And of course, he would proceed to just staring at it. My mom, of course, doesn’t do anything…psh. I continue with her workout and he says little thing throughout (he’d been sitting, waitig for a raquetball court). When my mom left to get water, he walked up to me to ask what kind of training I gave, or something…he stuttered a bit at some points.

This man has walked up to me several different times in the gym. He asks when I’m there (I say whenever I feel like coming in), he asks my name, he mentions again that I have a nice body and that he would hire me to sell underarmour if he owned the company, etc etc..and he’d stutter from time to time. He knows I’m working toward becoming a trainer. Everytime he sees me in the gym alone, the first thing he asks is if my mom is there.

Just the other night, I went to the other gym I usually go to. I go to this one alone. I went late, after work; it was after 10 in the evening. He just walked up to me and asked if my mom was there. He spoke for a while. I was polite/friendly (and this is my problem, I’m always too polite) and answered his questions. He ended up trying to offer me a position working front desk in his dental office. I didn’t say yes, but he kept saying "I’ll think about it" as though he was doing me some favor (likely thinking that would get him laid)
I’m 20. He must be in his 40s. I definitely KNOW this creep is into me. I’m not asking if he is.
And yeah, it’s happened several times…I asked about another guy earlier in here and had to do with a 60 year old man and his weird comments a few weeks ago…

Oh f*ck that, telling me I like his attention. You should have seen how I ran off after he turned back around to walk away. I’ll be honest and admit I prefer women. I don’t want ANY of this man’s attention. I’m polite because of my nature. A person could tell me I’m fat or stupid (I do know I’m not) and I would answer back politely. I cannot be a b*tch to anyone

Ok so there are 2 gyms in my town… 1 is in the local leisure centre (gym A) and the other is in the 4 star hotel (gym B). The membership fees are the same for both.

Gym A is where some of my friends go so there would be a good buzz around the place. It has the same equipment as gym B but it, unlike B, also has stepper machines. However, the changing rooms are pretty manky and the showers are small!

Gym B is clean and very quiet. None of my friends go here so it would be me on my own, good for relaxation perhaps? Although both gyms have swimming pools, the one in B is quiet unlike A which is also a public pool. It lacks the stepper machine which I would like.

Which should I join?!

Thanks!
Ox.

so i started working out at a local gym, 24hr fitness, there seem to be many gay guys there i was wondering if all the gyms are like that, one blk guy approached me straigt foward and said if i wanted to get F@@k, he was like i can wait for u outside, i told him no, can u stop bothering me, then this one guy, asian, started to changed next to me, and checking himself in the mirror, then he got a boner, and was just staring at me and he was also stroking, another day this white guy started to change from his boxers to small briefs, this guy was just staring at me, then i look and he was kinda changing in a provocative way, eventually his cock was as hard a rock, and then he put his underwear on slowly untill the tip of the dick covered, so i was wondering does this occur at every gym?

My mom and I were discussing joining a gym together we’d join one of those women oriented gyms. I ended up joining then my mom changed her mind. Trying to decide whether I should keep my membership or not, I researched the gym and there wasn’t enough positive for me stay. I chose to go with 24hr Fitness, cheaper and definitely convenient. In conversation I told my bf I decided to join 24hr fitness. He was a little buttface about it and was telling me that I wasn’t going to reach my goals at 24hr (I’m only trying to drop 10lbs) and that the womans gym was better since they had the program all set up once you walk in the door. I explained to him the hours stunk at the other place. Closed on Sundays, open for TWO HOURS SATURDAY / M-F closed by 8pm. And it’s 45 a month WITHOUT the convenience versus at 24hr. He still wasn’t convinced it was a wise choice, and was saying things to the degree like I wasn’t going to accomplish anything and I’m wasting my time because I’m not capable of disciplining myself. We rarely ever argue, but this really p.i.ssed me off he would somewhat put me down like this. Part of me feels like he was happy because I’d be going to an all womens gym, then when I told him I changed my mind it seemed to bother him.
Him saying what he said made me even MORE determined to not only drop those 10lbs but to ALSO prove him wrong.
