3rd day of 2019

Whats wrong with newbies tho everybody has to start sonewhere

well look at it logically, the more people paying gym memberships and not attending, the more profit the gym makes, the more profit the gym makes the higher the chances of renovation/upgrade which means you get a better gym because of somebody elses lack of willpower.

just grind through the next month and enjoy all the milfs

That sounds like a good thing at first until you realize all the other problems this entails long-term. The problem is that all commercial box gyms cater to the lowest common denominator of fickle NYRfags and casual soccer moms who want to wiggle their knees around on an elliptical for 15 minutes while watching Oprah on the TVs, since these are the types of people who have become the main piggybanks for the gyms due to annual contracts and the like. And that's why gyms are all gravitating toward the "planet fitness" model of things with a deemphasis on barbells and other freeweights, more and more of the gym space being dedicated to cardio machines and zumba classes, and all the walls being plastered with this "this is a judgment free zone!" shit.

And then what also happens is that if anyone wants a gym that isn't catering toward this bullshit, your only options are niche holes in the wall that have to ask like 60 bucks a month for membership because they can't compete with the casual planet fatness-style commercial gyms.

very true point indeed,
I can only speak on my experience as someone living in australia.. from what i've seen most gyms beside a couple commercial ones as you've mentioned are moving toward the whole freeweights and crossfit route because of all the "LOL LEG DAY xDDDD" memes and crossfit/strongman craze. I mean either way if he was at a commercial gym im sure any renovation that would build some memey machine or eliptical over a squat rack would be better than nothing cause it's not like they're going to take your squat rack away because they have more money, from a business standpoint you're losing customers/revenue. Plus renovations isn't always just more machines or weights its sometimes better facilities such as a sauna, swimming pool or better staff/PT's which could benefit most people.

NYRfags are irritating because most of them just clog up the gym for a month and then give up. I don't even go to gyms and can see why they're annoying.

WIPE DOWN THE EQUIPMENT! YOU NEW YEAR FUCKS!

>switch gym locations because of car issues
>boomers think I'm a NYRfag because I'm skelly
>work-in on leg press with boomer
>he tries to make conversation, talking to me like I'm a noob
>he is half rep-ing 3 plates
>I do the 3 plates for 10 reps
>with my earbuds in, I hear him talk to another boomer about how he is taking it easy today
>I add another plate on the each side, 4 plates for 10
>go to remove the extra plate
>boomer says it ok to leave it
>he half reps 4 plates for 5 reps
>I do another 10 reps and move on

Give it a little more time if it really bothers you that much. I haven't seen any newcomers at my gym, more or less just the same people.

are you sure about that

Thankfully I've not seen that many resolutioners in the gym. But my gym is three levels and most NYR people will hang around the cardio floor only. I've noticed people lifting who I haven't noticed before (gay, and they were qt3.14), but based on how they were lifting I guess they are on holidays and just lifting at irregular times.

But resolutioners should be encouraged! You can have all these people look up to you like you're their sempai! You shouldn't be bitter people are trying to better themselves.

>2nd week
>everyone sitting at home with DOMS
>"i'm so sore, i'll go again next week"
>never see them again
every year

IF I WORKED OUT FOR 2 YEARS, BUT THEN STOPPED FOR 6 MONTHS AND AM STARTING TOMORROW AGAIN AM I STILL CONSIDERED A NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONIST?

I wanted to start sooner but couldn't :(

You're good mate as long as you're not being an idiot with equipment. And only using cardio.

post glutes

If we say yes, is that gonna stop you?

only difference this year for me was i saw one new kid with a personal trainer. while im glad the benches aren't being taken up with newbies having trouble getting 85lbs up, im worried about the financial situation of the gym and this new calafornian based gym where dumbells don't go passed 60 and barbells don't exist is siphoning all the new people. they are the only 2 gyms in my area and if mine shuts down going to build my own gym in my basedment
