There's an important rule when it comes to giving unsolicited advice or feedback to anyone at the gym… Don't. Just don't. This same rule applies when you might be considering making unsolicited comments about another person's appearance—just… don't. However, this post begs an interesting question. When it comes to matters of safety, not just that someone's form is slightly off, but actual immediate safety… Do you have the right to say something..? And, should you say something? When it comes to…

When you have an annoying few moments , don't let it ruin your whole day. You only have so many minutes in a day, and if you spend it ruminating on something that ticked you off, you're wasting your precious time. Instead, do what these folks did: share your mildly infuriating moment with the internet. Misery loves company, and there's plenty of different infuriating moments that people have brought to the table lately. One that sparked lots of attention was the person who was stuck at a rainy…

There are rules at the gym , but you wouldn't know it by the way these people tried to work out. Let me tell you a story. The year was 2011, and a brand new Planet Fitness opened up in my area. It was so cheap back then that even as high schoolers, my friends and I could pay monthly to go work out . Gym class? Nah, we couldn't be bothered. We felt like we were adults, and we wanted to work out like them. It didn't matter that we didn't know how to use any of the machines; we'll figure it out as…

There are a surprising amount of people who fail gym class . I know what you're thinking — how can someone possibly fail gym class? I completely understand how. If you don't want to get sweaty and smell gross all day long, you can't run, and therefore, you might fail. It's a sacrifice many are willing to make, to the fury of our gym teachers. It's just not possible to run several miles and not get sweaty, and I recall classmates of mine who did run their laps. They were basically sweaty all day…

I thought this was a free country

This gym-goer had simply had enough of another person being loud and disruptive in their gym's athletic classes. They were pushed to limits that they claim they normally wouldn't go to and told the disruptive person to shut up. Now they're wondering if they're wrong for their outburst. It's generally pretty shocking when someone displays a complete lack of self-awareness and care for the people around them; playing loud music on public transportation (or in any public space) and generally being…

Are gyms the newest breeding ground for entitled behavior?

For some of us, going to the gym is an obsession; for others, it's a fantasy.

Sometimes, you're actively seeking revenge on your ex, but other times, the perfect recipe for revenge just falls right into your lap.

2023 has taught us that most people actually have no interest in self-improvement. In fact, if you've been guzzling disgusting green juice every morning, your muscles ache from pushups you did that one time, and you're getting really tired of dry January, you might have been a little overzealous with your New Year's Resolutions this year. Maybe it was the Christmas eggnog talking, but for some reason, in December, you thought you could change your life habits overnight just by saying that you w…

Firstly, a quick shoutout to Darwin's brilliant theory of evolution… the flaws in how humans have evolved are no secret to any of us. Just enter the nearest Mcdonald's — I dare say 15 minutes won't go by without some kind of incident occurring, most likely involving an entitled person who takes their 3-dollar burger very seriously. Evidently, some humans have not quite evolved as we'd have hoped, and are clearly deficient in brain cells. Particularly those linked with public decency. We all kno…

It never feels good to be accused of doing something nefarious or being something that you're not, but in these situations, the best thing you can do is remain level-headed and rational — if you get upset that someone is accusing you of being aggressive and you become aggressive as a result you're kind of proving their point. Regardless, this guy was in the wrong long before he lost his cool. As we've consistently said over the years: You're an a**hole as soon as you pass an unwanted judgment o…

Here’s hoping that reading this makes us all work out more.

This woman was asked to send a photo of herself to work behind the front desk at a gym.

A girl was working out in an empty gym on the elliptical when a guy came in and got on the elliptical right next to her, despite rows and rows of empty machines. She was a little uncomfortable about this and decided to cut her workout early. That's when the guy took offense to her being threatened by her presence and decided to display how non-threatening he was by losing it on her and accusing her of thinking he was a predator. Uh, dude. Are you calling yourself out? This thread was posted to…

And a gym is not a fashion show
