My friend and I are new girls to the gym, and about a week ago we were using a squat rack located right next to another squat rack. Since we both fairly new to lifting so we were only adding about 10 pounds to the bar. Anyway, there was a girl at the one next to us and we were doing alternating sets, so when I was off I tried to make sure that I was far away from both racks. But I guess I should've been a little more careful, because I got too close to other girl's rack and she turned and said "do you mind? Some of us actually work out here." To which I replied "sorry, but we're working out too." She looked at me and scoffed and said "no you're not. Stick to the treadmills."
I thought maybe she was having a bad day or something and snapped. But then a couple of days later my friend and I took the bench next to hers (once again, we're both pretty new to this so we were benching the bar) and when she finished she made a comment to my friend about how she might do better if she was "actually trying to lift something." Whenever I see her now I'm afraid to go near where she's working out, and I see her fairly frequently so that's sort of a problem. I know I shouldn't let her get to me, but she does and it's adding a whole new level of difficulty to my gym routine.
Have any of you ever had a problem like this? If so, what did you do?
I wear headphones and no one ever bothers me. I go to the gym with my wife, and I don't even talk to her until we leave.
One time someone hit me with a "do you mind?" while I'm drinking water. Turn around the cock sucker wants to fill his bottle. Stare at him, put headphones on, go back to drinking. Now I wear my headphones while I drink water, too.
Also, could ask her why she's being a fucking cunt. Women hate being called cunts and it will flabbergast her.

you should totally get in her face in the locker room when you are all sweaty and worked heated up, press your titties against hers and demand that she apologizes, if she doesnt try pulling her shirt over her head and spanking her a little bit, she might retaliate by trying to pin you down or suffocating you with her lips but you need to wrestle her tounge out with your own and get on top somehow, then take off her shoes or whatever and rub her feet, they might be sore from all the cardio give them a sweet kiss but make sure to assert your dominance by taking off her panties sweaty, smelly panties and wearing them on your head. After this she will probably submit via orgasm and you will have won then ask her to work out sometime and become friends
1) How much is she lifting? Is it an impressive amount? 2) if Larp fuck off 3) if not stop being a pussy and break her kneecaps already u wog. 4) Then stand over her while she is on the floor screaming and say "stick to the treadmill faggot. 5)continue routine in peace

Then my point is proven and the advice is sound.

So to be honest, that's probably not a bully. That's probably someone who uses the facility regularly that doesn't want to share it with someone else who is taking a long time / brand new / kinda doesn't know what they're doing / is in their way. If you're lifting really heavy weight, you can seriously hurt yourself if you're not careful. She's probably just pissed because you were in her way (although she was obviously being kind of a not so nice person about it). >Solution: I know a lot of people will probably laugh, but planet fitness was designed for people like you two. If you're new to working out, don't want to be intimidated by other people who have been doing it for a while, or maybe are a little self-conscious about going the gym, it's really not a bad place. It's also way cheaper than everywhere else and I feel like you'd guys would feel right at home.
Yeah honestly, over like three years, I just put roughly $1 - 2k into a home gym and it's the best. I hate working out in public gyms because people are assholes.
Look, some people just have huge fucking egos no matter what they're doing. If someone is being an asshat in the gym to newbies, then they are just an asshat to their core. It's most likely not you as long as you are trying your best. Most people will not pay any attention to newbies and tolerate their fuckups if not actively offer help, because we haven't convinced ourselves that we we're never beginners at some point too. Just pity people like this woman, cause they obviously aren't happy in their lives if something like an inexperienced gym-goers pisses them off so much that they'd be verbally abusive.

This person is a bully. It'd be one thing if they got mad at a serious offense. But, if youre describing them right, these arent. Its unacceptable for her to talk about how much youre lifting in a negative way.
You could try to ignore her and walk on eggshells but it probably wont work with how confrontational she is.
If she gets in your face again: >Report her to gym management if possible. Might sound like the sissy route but its the smart one for multiple reasons. There's two of you against her. Itll be better if you report her before she reports you for some made up shit. Itll be safer than risking a altercation that could get you hurt/kicked out/in trouble. >Bring a guy or more girls with you. But tell them straight up its because youre being bullied. >If neither of these are options I would continue on as normal and tell the bully to fuck off. I wouldnt change my gym habits around this cunt and neither should you.
Jose Sullivan
Just ignore her and let management know if she's can't help herself start some shit. They'll be glad to kick her out because shes fucking with customers, and business always comes first. Scoffing at you once or twice probably wont hold much weight, so wait for her to do some real shit otherwise it might backfire and theyll think youre some melodramatic thot.
Michael Evans
Also the reason why shes giving you shit is because youre women. Shes most likely a territorial bitch and you two are seen as competition.
KILL THE FUCKING ROASTIE KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL SHOW THE ROASTIE BITCH WHO IS MS SHIT KING SHIT PUSSY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Is she hot? If she isn't then you could have said the same thing back to her.
Anthony Collins
Just ignore her. You are weak to her. She is weak to me. I am weak to others. No one should feel bad that they are trying to do something productive. Of course, if you are in the way or not doing things properly, then try not to do it and learn proper etiquette. Most likely, shes being a dumb bitch. If she said that to me, I'd follow her to her car real sneaky like, rape her, stuff her in the trunk, and drive it off a cliff. Id probably just tell her to mind her fucking business and quit with the petty bullshit comments. Either get in her face and be willing to fight or tell gym staff. Most likely, gym staff will not do shit because they are minimum wage brainless morons so get in her face. Stand up for yourself. You deserve to be in that gym just like her.

Try being a man and lifting more than the bar.

If you're new to lifting, don't even bother.. Lifting is for veteran lifters only.
Colton Morris
The vitch was acting territorial because shes afraid of competition so she made up this scenario in her head that you guys were in the way doing nothing to justify her fear

The only thing you can do is continue with your workouts and not give a fuck. If you let her intimidate you, she wins. If you’re not too shy, and are a sassy cunt like I am, hit her with something like: “I’m sorry for whatever happened to you in childhood to make you like this” next time she tries to step to you.

Any other femanons here? How easy is it to make friends with other girls at the gym?
Henry Barnes
Haha my gf is just like the girl you described. You should srs gtfo because gym is not for weak pathetic bitches like you.

You and your gf sound like shitty people
Nathan Davis
She's just mad you'll be outlifting her in like 3 months. I wouldn't worry brah.
Cameron Torres
If you’re a girl, I can guarantee you don’t need to use a squat rack. You do not need safeties to squat 65 lbs. If it’s you and another girl just spot eachother. You are being really inconsiderate by taking up the squat rack for literally almost no weight. Also, you should just get back on the elliptical so we can just look at your ass. It’s all you’re good for, slut.

Stuck up bitch. Don't pay attention to her
Christian Ortiz
Quit getting in the fucking way. You need to spread out as much as possible. More than likely you have invaded her space on multiple occasions. You're frustrating a gym rat. I'd be mad at you too. Because I'm also that bully...
This plus closed eyes when using cables = godbless. One time I even hit a guy with my elbow while doing facepulls, cunt probably tried to squeze between me and the machine behind. Didn't even open my eyes, when I finished he was nowhere to be found.

The gym I go to only has 1 squat rack. It's always in use when I arrive and I usually go to the person lifting, wait for them to finish a set, ask how many they got left and go do some bench until later. Usually they appreciate that I'm trying and find me after they're done to let me know it's free.
If it was a couple of women in the only rack, using the bar but also on their phones half the time I could see myself getting irritated, but wouldnt give a shit if there's a rack free and they're not being obnoxious about selfies and chatting.
To be honest, the best way to disarm hostility like this is to emphasize that you're new. Ask them if they would mind demonstrating good form with the bar and if they could check your form. Ask how long they rest between sets when they're at their working weight. If they're convinced you're not there to lift, prove them wrong by going regularly and taking it seriously.
Anyone who's lifted for more than a handful of months knows how dangerous this can get if you ignore form and will help you out if you're genuinely trying.

OP this is gym culture. It is all about how good you look why else would someone go to the gym when we have forklifts etc.

The polite return of the towel at the end is a nice touch.
Michael Brooks
I missed the part first read about you being girls and i imagined two twinks lifting the bar and then a women with huge biceps bullying you. It made me giggle and gave me a boner.
