Holiday crowds at the gym

[Raphael3636]

Gotta love the holidays especially in your local gym. This morning I did a little later gym session like 930, well every Tom ,Dick, and Harry decided to go then too. When this happens do you guys tend to lack motivation? I found myself trying to rush through my workout just to get outta there.

Nope but I go at night between midnight and 4am. Not many people if any.

 

[Raphael3636]

Yea my usual time is 5am and it’s still pretty quit in there at that time

That’s why I built a gym lol. I hate public gyms for that exact reason. Just wait for the first few weeks of January hahaha

 

[Raphael3636]

That’s awesome to have a gym. Whole month of January is crap, everyone is on there new years resolution

I’ve never seen any gym crowded this time of year. Killed legs at noon literally 5 people there and one guy that likes to talk my ears off lol

Yea man it was crazy this morning. It seemed to be a lot of college kids home for the holidays trying to get there pump on. And I dont want people to understand me wrong about this post. I have the upmost respect for anyone that comes into the gym and better themselves. Wether there veterans or beginners, everyone needs to start somewhere.

Get ready for all the new year’s resolution newbies at the gym.
I wish them the best and hope that they create accounts and join the community but I believe that some of them literally just sign up to say that they did lol

I just do my thing crowded or not. Walmart is crowded right now lol.

Why does everyone complain about that? Like literally I’ve never seen any gym that crowded at the new year lol

 

[Bigmurph6]

After the new Year I would always see the wanting to get started crowd.
You can tell who they are because they look a little lost.
Then usually by February you don’t see them ever again

I belong to two gyms … LA fitness and an old school hardcore gym in the city which has been around since the 70s and produced a bunch of pros over the years… never New Years new bee there … but LA, yes… but gone by Feb 1st typically!

I dont hesitate to ask rather harshly if they are done with equipment. I’m not real nice about it mainly because most of our new years guys are high school kids flexing in the mirror. Or standing around in groups texting on phones.

 

[Stratfordave]

Jesus … so annoying… Agree!

 

[Bigmurph6]

Damn right lay it down its not impolite to tell someone to kick rocks if there using what you need as a modeling tool or a place to sit.

 

[Raphael3636]

modeling tool! That’s classic

My gym gets crowded as fuck . We have 3 floors and all of them are over run till March. Right now its moderate but January is a nightmare

Need a tissue @Jstan?

Adapt or don’t GROW but no crying… Embrace the Suck!

 

[Jstan]

I adapt and actually find my best gains are made during this time . I get so pissed off when the squat racks are full so I utilize equipment I rarely use for leg day and throw in cardio more often on the spin bikes. My only complaint is how congested it gets
