Who the fuck has time to go WORKOUT ???? Im a farmer I start my work out at 4:30 am and finish after DARK!!!!!
CMON MAN
We all make time for what we think is important to us all. It's important to be fighting fit at all times but if you dont value being able to defend yourself or others then keep doing what you do.
@@sandraherdman3783I have no time to work out most of the year but I work out in winter weather
Got all day my ass I have to REBUILD ALL MY EQUIPMENT and get it ready for the next SEASON!!! I FARM OVER 2000 ACERS' GOT ALL DAY TO FUCK AROUND @@sandraherdman3783
Well im in Law Enforcement and have to find time to work out.
Yup my day starts at 5am and ends at dark
That's why I restrict my hours in public situations. I have a low tolerance for odd behavior. And, as you know, there is a lot of odd behavior these days.
😂 You are so right! I've got to the point where most people genuinely get on my last nerve with the nonsense and whining the spew!
Yes sir usually way to many felonies in them public situations nowdays sure do miss the old days if the younger generation only knew bet they would pissed
@@felisham.6394, Not to mention all the puss buckets spewing toxic sweat, and bile all over every piece of equipment, and then soaking it all off in some pool or steam room that hasn't been cleaned for a month. At one time in the old days, everyone was expected to shower real good before they entered any pool, or did anything in the gym. Now it's just one roid spewer after another, sliming everything like some green booger from the movie Ghost Busters. No Thanks! It's bad enough all the kids now days have zero concept of cross contamination, or not touching or hacking all over everything at the store, I'm not going to pay to get contaminated, that happens for free.
Yesss
💯👍🏼
Me as well.
I built a home gym so that I don’t have to deal with people anymore. Also, Jack please read this, I posted it on your previous video too. People need to know what’s really going on:
I was a police officer for almost 7 years. I was indicted by a woke FBI, Soros funded DA with ties to VP Kamala, and corrupt police administration who's in bed with the DA. I was indicted over text messages and a justified less lethal use of force against a non-compliant stolen car suspect, and that I conspired to possess steroids (which were legal peptides in reality). The news will tell you I'm a racist steroid kingpin who violated a gay black trans woman's rights who was only committing a property crime. The reality of why I was indicted was because I spoke up against a corrupt police lieutenant who was using police information systems to stalk women, the irony is he was rehired as a cop and I'm fighting for my freedom. I also spoke out against the corrupt local FBI office and the corrupt DA. I'm still fighting this nonsense in court, my point, corruption as trickled down to the lowest level. Prepare and don't believe anything politicians, appointed bureaucrats, and their propaganda machine says. Think for yourself and read between the lines my brothers and sisters. Thanks for the stellar content bro, keep up the good fight brother. If y'all don't believe me I have no problem sending proof. This has turned my life upside down but it's also opened my eyes. Now I have to fight but God is with me, with us in this fight for freedom.
May God be with you every step of the way brother. Praying that the corruption will be exposed in your case! 🙏🏼
Praying for you.
Praying for you and your family!
Praying for you brother. 🐎🐎🦅🪶🕊
The corruption runs deep.
Me and a friend took our kids to one of those kids game places over the weekend, the Amazing Pizza Machine, and everywhere I looked it was grown men hunched over staring and scrolling at their phones. That's all I ever see, everywhere I go. Men completely distracted and clueless about everything going on around them, just staring at their phones. Addicted.
With this new movement there are people feeling more frendzy in all the wrong places. Last week I was listening to a story by these two parents of the account of their autistic daughter. The school had emailed a message home calling the daughter by a different name and their first thought was they have the wrong email so they replied and left a message regarding the possible wrong student but got no response. The mother and father thought it was awkward the school wouldn't reply and began to get suspicious. They went through their daughters backpack and found a book about a gay boy dealing with his identity. From there they found out that the school counselor had been grooming their daughter to believe she wanted to be a boy and gave their daughter the book from his private collection. The school counselor was grooming a female to believe she was a gay boy and the name she had been going by at school was what they accidentally wrote on the email. I don't even believe our government is playing the devil in everybody's household and in the schools. Our president sent out rainbow placards telling the teachers in all the schools to wear them so students knew they could talk to them and they didn't have to worry about them telling their parents. Anyway, this is why men are hanging around in the locker room, they're looking for a hot time.
The chemicals are turning them into frogs…..
We were warned and we thought he was crazy. But alas, he isn't...
Hell, he's batting a thousand right now.
I one thousand percent Agree 👍😂
😂😂😂😂
Steroids maybe.
Absolutely!!!
I don’t think very many of us. Old-school guys understand the new era
Unfortunately, it's not necessarily young guys. The gym I go to, there are old guys walking around the locker room half naked. The bottom half. It's F'n annoying. I hate having to go there with my sons. I already had to tell one to put his pants or something on because there was a young boy walking in. After his workout the guy stand around naked and when he finally puts clothes on, he puts on his Tshirt first. Then stands at the air dryer then after walking around finally puts on the rest.
I know I must have been out working the day they was handing out the strange cool aid. These guys are too used to sharing what they should not on social media and they think it transfers to real life.
Your trying to hard your probably losing your mind! Just like an actor or actress they get stuck in their Roles when finished filming! Then they need help getting back to reality ( themselves) see a Dr. Pycologest! Hope this helps Peace.an angel from the heavens here on earth.
Glory hole situation maybe
4:20 You're right 😅 I've been going to the same gym for years. Every year u see fng's come in for their New years resolution. By April 99% will be gone. I suggest you go early (0330) or (0400) mostly people are hard core. Cupcakes can't get up that early 😅
I’m not a fan of locker rooms. It always feels weird in a creepy way. Like I’m in a room of sexual predators.
Probably cause all cities are full of em
All convicted sex offenders have to register, there is a free sight that list the offenders in your area, go and look you will flip out how many there are
@@darltharp525They got one in the White House.
Lots of men feel alone these days and they're looking for a tribal feeling looking to be part of a group. Hell is coming and people are getting scared.
Don't get in my kill zone in the men's locker room 😂 priceless man 100% with ya!
I don’t go to a gym, I work out at home. I do running, strength training and dry fire practice. I’m 60 and I live in the UK, surrounded by people who don’t understand self-sufficiency and self-defence. But you’ve got to work with what you’ve got. Thanks for keeping me sane tribe.
Same here, workout at Home!
Same here. Two hour workout at home. Got all my equipment used at garage sales. Ten cents on the dollar. Hell of a lot cheaper than a gym membership
Why would anyone go to a gym in the 1st place? It makes no sense.
Nobody has answered your question. I say if you experienced something inappropriate. You should be alert. You just know when somethings off.
@@annaravenhand5536 some just go for vanity. They wanna show off their bod. Even females. And maybe it's a place people hope they will get lucky and hook up with someone. Heck, if I see a good looking female with a nice body I am gonna look although I won't be too obvious about it. But I am in there to work out and that's it, nothing more. I do what I gotta do and then I go home. I haven't been to a gym in a long time but that is how I used to conduct my business when I did go to places like that.
U ain't gettin old, u in yo prime... I'm 70 an still working out with a total gym an dumbbells.... You got the right thinking , the. Gym rats got the wrong thinking.... Keep yo self strong while they get weak ... Good job Jack.. proud of ya brother
You’re so right, I have seen this at the golf clubs. They’re not there to play golf. World has become one giant “water cooler” and not much else. Excellent point Jack!
I stopped using military gyms when trans-females started using the showers. It started during Obamas 2nd administration
That's because Otard was used to swirling around in bath houses daily, no thank you.
This gives a whole new definition of ‘seeing action’ in the military!
Holy shit😂😂😂😂
I can only assume next will be a manbearpig banging for cereal some rat lady in the locker room like a strange South Park episode 😂
People in stores do this horribly too! Several times I've literally told people to get off me. It is weird. Anymore I just start coughing on them and they usually split.
Something like that happens in public and I'm opted to see how my tosses and throws from training work in reality. .
😂 great idea! Cough!
Yeah people get so close in public. That was the only good thing about the plandemic .
That is so funny. Every where the wife & I would go ( mud bogs , VW shows etc. ). We always have 1or more people that would crowd use , start talking to use , just to close. Years ago I told her I’m going to strap dog poop to my pants so these people give me space. Just thought it was funny to hear I’m not the only one
,@@nicolec7290 , I grew up going to large concerts and crowds, I understand the personal space thing. My friends all told me I had a bad habit about standing to close to people, which was a bad habit. I just came from a time where everyone wasn't all psychotic about everything, it wasn't like I was all up in peoples faces, but the Covidiots plandemic took care of all those problems. Now everyone swung totally all hand sanitizer crazy, while scooping their change out of that change scoop that NEVER gets cleaned for their filthy money. The hypocrisy and selective outrage is sort of off the charts isn't it.
I'm old school and 70+......Spent a lot of time in commercial gyms in my younger years.........These days I have my own gym at home........I used to hit the iron, and leave, not even hung around for a shower, maybe take a piss......even then there were weirdos in the locker rooms, so I took care of business and left.....I spent 6 years in the military, so naked guys don't phase me.....unless they want to chat me up ........That sets off my alarms
I’ve never once been a gym locker room first thing I noticed when they gave me a tour of the gym is what you just said I’d show up wee hours of the morning dressed and would change inside my ride behind the building I stop going all together because even at those hours it start to get Infested with married dudes and women who would use the gym to cheat they all Just hang one on the equipment flirting with each other and you couldn’t use any of the equipment cause it was like a bar or something “work out equipment was the place to pick up married women” so as a single guy if you’re reading this and your wife goes to the gym by herself everyday at weird hours you may want to pay a sneak visit to her gym and see what’s really going on
You are just old school my brother in arms. I’m with you there! Times they are a changing and not for the better!
100% it's treated like an adult playground these days
Build a home gym! If you have the money and the space, just create a home gym in your basement or garage. Bars and plates, loadable or fixed weight dumbbells, a power rack and benches, a cable set up if you can afford it. The place can be all yours to use whenever you want, all at your own pace, with no waiting for equipment. You can invite in friends and people you trust to not create drama. If you buy quality equipment and take care of it, it will hold it’s value. There’s no downside.
I’ve got a home gym too. I’ve got videos of it.
A good friend of mine who is active in bodybuilding business built hers. She painted her entire gym pink. And uses it to do video tutorials sessions to train her clients. Nothing like home gym. It’s priceless and saves money than going to public gym clubs.
I don't like anyone getting closer than arms length of me, and I get really defensive when someone touches me.
Totally agree with you on that!
Yeah, I've always had that rule too........Do NOT touch me dude
Im 62 an used to go to the Gym an seen more an more of exactly what your describing. My gym is here at home . I live in a blue state collage town an overheard the discussions that made me think I was lost in a world of Fools . God Bless Jack for all you do Appreciate ya Buddy..
As a woman I don’t use a gym to work out. I go on strenuous hikes. I’m also Really into archery. Using a heavier bow pull is a really good full body workout. The key with that kind of workout is to stay relaxed. There is a lot of tension as you pull back the weight of the bow, so you hold at complete extension and relax your whole body, focusing on the target, then release then relax a second time.😊
I wouldn't Know, But What I've Heard From Sheriff's, The Gym Locker Room Is Becoming A New Place Where Illigal Drugs Can Be Sold, Absolutely Disgusting
That's not new. Cameras aren't allowed in those areas so they've always been areas for nefarious activities
You have your right for personal space. I’m a gay man and I get hit on by men and women I’m not interested in(especially in the bar).I KINDLY say “sorry I’m not interested” or “ sorry but you’re a little too close”. Communication is key. If they don’t stop, it’s their fault if they get what they deserve. I’ve had to push people off me and tell security. It’s the way it works. Not all gay men are perverts but there are a lot. The same when women have to deal with perverted men.
People are weird. They are changing. Technology is the problem.
Yes 💯
Yep the social media, the stuff that people look at on their phones influences them more than you think. Also people have been changing and not the better ever since the Covid years and all those people who lined up like sheep to get jabbed with strange substances.
this💯
It's definitely a problem when they are on their phones, camping out, on equipment you are waiting to use.
Yep ! Gym/Locker Room etiquette is a thing of the past.
Not to mention, the people with their camera stands filming themselves working out.
I quit going to the gym long time ago. Noticed the air was getting oxygen depleeted from their AC system recycling the air when a hundred people were working out at the same time. I do out door activities and work out with free weights at home.
As a Christian that practices holiness as a standard of living, I will not undress in front of other people besides my wife. I will use the private changing room and then put my crap in the locker. I'm also the guy that wears a t shirt while swimming in front of other brothers and sisters in Christ. We do not go to public pools where folks are basically naked. We keep covered and seperate in this houshold.
Your comment made me think about the Roman bath houses.
LOL! Only Combat Vets know that personal space = Kill Zone!
I would say ex cons too. I know a few who are schizo as hell in situations like that.
Not just combat vets. Most all old vets and old police
...Or anyone who has lived in a city...
Or has been abused..READY for whassup
Combat vets and all US Marines. And cops. But yes, personal space very much = kill zone. Do not infringe. Lol
When I go, I work out and get out. That’s what I paid for. Not to BS.
In and out of the military, I never saw the gym locker room. I drove home stinking and showered in my own bathroom.
I was one of them, It's common for individuals to spend more time in the locker room than working out due to mental health challenges. Three possible reasons could be:
1. **Lack of Motivation:** Mental health issues can lead to a lack of motivation, making it challenging to engage in physical activities. The locker room may offer a temporary escape from the demands of exercising.
2. **Social Anxiety:** Mental health struggles, such as anxiety or depression, might contribute to social discomfort. Spending time in the locker room may provide a sense of solitude or relief from potential social interactions associated with working out.
3. **Coping Mechanism:** The locker room might serve as a safe space for coping with overwhelming emotions. Individuals may find solace or distraction in this environment, temporarily alleviating the stressors they face during exercise.
Good answer.
If you have to see a shrink before working out you probably should stay home. You don't need a gym to work out anyways, go move heavy tires or jump rope, or hit a heavy bag, lots of ways to work out without a gym.
@@faithismespeaks6848 I trust this message finds you well. I am reaching out to share a personal experience in the hope that it may contribute to a broader understanding of mental health challenges.
Recognizing the need for professional mental health support is a unique and often gradual process. In my case, it required significant life events, including encounters with law enforcement and multiple hospitalizations, before acknowledging the necessity for assistance.
Understanding that each individual's journey is distinct, I believe there is value in destigmatizing mental health struggles. By sharing our experiences, we contribute to a more open dialogue surrounding mental well-being.
I share this with the intention of promoting awareness and understanding. If there are opportunities for collaboration or support in this regard, I would welcome the chance to discuss further.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
100% correct. I try to get out of the locker room ASAP. Other dudes in there staring at themselves in the mirror, texting, making phone calls, reading paperback books. 🤢
Public gyms are the new Turkish Baths from the 70's
I work out at home. No time in my life for nonsense.
Yeah I know what you mean. Just the other day at the gym locker room I had to say. “Hey dude get your 🐓 out of my kill zone.” 😂😂😂😂
I would not use a germy, contGerman, gym unless I was homeless and had membership only to run in,take shower run out. As a hard core introvert, I do not understand wanting to socialize so I can't answer this question.I have 0 tolerance for almost everything these days, especially modern behavior.
You are not alone nor are you witnessing a unique scenario.
I coach high school wrestling and have my mind blown away every practice concerning how touchy and close these boys get during team meatings.
I'm talking boys laying their heads in other boys laps and some of my toughest wrestlers are oblivious to personal space.
I blame television and a lack of alpha males in their lives.
No BS, it weirds me out and I'm former military.(I've been nut to butt more than I'd like to remember)
"You should not get in my kill zone" yep. Maybe its a substitute for a bar? Dont go, so no clue. 😂
We are on a different wavelength for sure Jack, men & women with families and priorities, we go into the gym/training ctr and get in and out, blast the workout, no BS get the F out our way, done. We grew up without cell phones/TikTok/VR headsets, safe spaces etc. We know whats headed our way and we are fortifying our body/mind, mirrors can wait. 👍🏼🏋️
I've got it they are suffering from the 6foot distance and their recovering from the drama of having to stay 6 feet apart. LOL
I remember in the 80's hitting the gym and the guys had their mullets spoofed all up and they were lifting half what they could and grunting loud for attention. 50% of the time I felt like I was in the club rather than the gym. I just learned to tune it out.
I am with you on this topic. I was going to a gym about a year ago I could not take it anymore. Most of guys come in dressing rooms and would start taking pictures of them self. At any moment I thought one would start wackking off.
Lol, sounds like "going to workout" is more of a social club now than anything else
Yes, Especially High School kids at my gym. Taking selfies, yelling, towel slapping.
Don't know . I'm 66 and can do pushups. Pull-ups , squats , military press , any of that stuff at home, and yes, I have a cardio cycle at home.
It's a social thing . I'd hate having naked dudes in my face.
I didn't hang out in showers in the military.
You get your shower, and you get out , in the world I knew .
Your totally On Point! Hanging out at the gym like that is weird
I’m 71 years old and been training regularly at the gym for years and I’ve never even been in the locker room. I do have short conversations with others but mainly I go workout and then leave.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤣🤣🤣Don’t get in my kill zone bro!!! At the end of the day going to the gym to workout isn’t what it used to be. My wife wanted to go back and I’m going with her now. I use the bathroom if needed then start working out. At the end drink a shake and gone. There’s no reason to be hanging out in the bathroom unless you like what you see. You can talk and workout at the same time.👍🏼👊🏼💯
I don't go to gym anymore..get my work out at work... Get paid for it also..
😆You just reminded me of that Adam Sandler/Jack Nicholson comedy "Anger Management" where Nicholson's character, a psychiatrist, climbs in bed with Sandler's character and tells him this is normal for men in other parts of the world. Sandler, obviously creeped out, replied something along the line, "Thank God I'm American."
That's the worst. Stand your ground brother!!
Hell, no, I've never hung out in the locker room, get in, get out. I'm there to lift weights.
This made me laugh so hard! On the other hand, no naked person should get in your personal space in a locker room. Very creepy!
I got a giggle too. From a female perspective, I'd find it bizarre in a male locker room.
I used to work at a high end gym in 2008 to 2010. A lot of the older men treated it more like a lounge. And would hang out and socialize. Of course it wasn’t all the older (60’s, 70’s year olds) guy doing this. And I can think of a single time I saw anyone in their 20s or 30s do that. But now, I see it all the time. I like you show up work out maybe shower, though these days it feels a bit to “cruise-y”, like people are trying to pick you up. It’s really weird….
A similar feeling came over me a few years ago - the gym had become a social club. I got home equipment and have never looked back.
Their wives and girlfriends can’t see or hear them in a locker room
Did most my time waiting around for equipment to get freed up...don't want to spend all my time waiting or doing cardio..but they do it on the equipment too
Since December I have been going to a Physical Therapy office attached to a large gym. I am amazed how many of the younger guys have two gym bags with hair dryer, hair goop, skin lotion, etc, etc, they spend more time in front of the mirror than on the gym floor.
I workout at a pretty large and popular gym. The entire gym experience is part of a social scene. Gym rats from our day were about getting yoked. Now it's just hanging out for hours in and around the gym.
That’s why I don’t go to a gym anymore I work out at my house. Funny world nowadays no pun intended.
Better off to spend money on equipment for home then use someone else's at a facility ( if you got the space to do so)
You made the right choice by not hitting him but I totally agree they need to give you and anyone else their own space!
Went to the gym today, had a great conversation. The pilgrims used to socialize in the latrine. The more holes in the plank, the more points of view.
No Jack, you’re not wrong for feeling that way. Call me homophobic if you want but I’m not into hanging out with naked dudes in a locker room either. I’ve even seen big screen TVs in the locker room/lounge area. I’m there to change and get out of there. If there’s a single shower with a door then cool. Otherwise, I’m showering at home. I currently have a neighborhood gym and nobody goes there. I literally have it all to myself. I love it.
Big Brother's school has made this a norm in public school , and then they carried on to the rest of the public.
My gym lockeroom is and has always been an after workout hang out. Clothes on though. My gym has 2 couches and a couple of TVs. Clean and doesn't smell. I've been a member since 2007. I get in and get out, but I've always noticed the socialization
Haven't been in a gym in years. Workout at home. Recent videos of female "influencers" claiming harassment solidifies that decision. Not only that, I've gotten fairly anti-social these past 3 or 4 years, so, there's that.
When I lived out in WA State and worked out at the YMCA, there was a lot of socializing in locker room. I go into the locker room, dress out, go do my workout, come back an hour and a half later, and the same people would still be talking. Living in Albuquerque, NM I don't see it anywhere near as much at the gym I go to.
I go to the locker room to take a piss, and that is it.
Hahaha. Jack is too funny.
I have noticed these types.
They are keeping eachother company comparing ideas about lifting, girls, personal struggles in competition and training, and sharing their gains.
They spend extra time posing and looking at their bodies in the mirror, grooming, sauna, practicing hygiene, ect.
They make it a ritual.
Yes. They are socializing in the locker room.
Stay out my kill zone 😂😂😂
Stopped going to the Gym when covid hit, and purchased my own gear. At that time the atmosphere/culture was changing. Reminded me of European gym culture and it is exactly as you described it. Personal space is shrinking. I like my 3’ of personal buffer space, any closer and I will say something (nothing aggressive). I have also chosen to relocate myself.
Get in & get out.
Yeah I agree with you there I went to a certain gym became a member and knows the same thing to the point that it was a little much between that and wanting everything to be quiet when you're working out like the the gyms that we knew growing up and throughout the years of being in service and stuff is no longer they're pussified to say the least
I'm 1.20 minutes in, and I'm dying lmao 😂😂
Last time I was in a gym was when my wife's cousin got married a few months ago. Had to use the gym at the Marriott hotel. Did not care for it. I have all my own stuff at home. But I didn't like having other people around while I was working out.
"Shouldnt be getting in my kill zone when im in the locker room" 😂
lol I had to report a guy at my gym that was standing butt naked on the sink countertop manscaping… management wasn’t having that he got removed very quickly.
I literally just change and get out of that weird place as fast as I can
Worst part is dodging cameras on their phones in there even tho there are signs saying not to do that
when i went to the gym , aside from common plesantries" hey how ya doing?" kind of thing nobody was hanging out. people were either getting their workout in before work or after and trying to get home . i did not dawdle. i got my workout in took care of the 3 "S"s, and went home. in those days i worked the midnight shift, so when i got to the gym, it was mostly empty anyhow but as the workout went on more folks came in. these days now that i am disabled i work out at home. i use resistance bands heavy to light and some bodyweight work, " cane-fu" and dryfire . gotta keep your mind focused on what you can do now and not on what you used to be able to do.....
It’s always been like that. Before when I went I didn’t need to go to the locker room at all. I would change at home just to avoid the naked weirdos trying to shake my hand with only a towel on.
Probably more than one thing contributing to the issue of extra congestion in locker rooms... but could in be, at least in part, due to the steadily rising number of people becoming homeless, even those with full time jobs, living in vehicles, and dependent upon using gyms and truck stops as their bathrooms and kitchens?
Thankfully, I don't have to deal with that. I workout at a very small gym. The changing areas are 2 bathrooms where you can lock the door behind you. When I used to workout at a large gym (24 hour fitness), I did notice some people hanging out in the locker rooms half naked but I never stayed in there very long and I always shower at home. lol
I used to be a gym rat when I was a swimsuit competitor in the heyday years ago. Until then I met with a trainer who strictly trains outdoor boot camp. Needless to say, the gym floor was ancient history 😂 Nothing like working out outdoors surrounded by nature. And without phones. More focused and enjoy fresh air outside. It changes the whole perspective and saves you a ton of money to pay gym membership. God provides and that is nature. Use it to your advantage. Another thing worth mentioning, I dated a guy who works at health club as a lifeguard. He told me some crazy stories going on in those locker rooms shenanigans! He literally had to revoke one guy’s gym club membership for trying to feel him up in the locker room. The member was permanently banned! I’d stick to outdoors Jack if I were you. It changes things and stick to old school. Nowadays things are evolving very quickly in ways that aren’t normal. When you see something doesn’t look right, that’s God’s way of telling you to go elsewhere. Stay Frosty sir!
I haven't been in a locker room since high-school and no-one on our football team spent anymore time in there to change into or out of practice gear than necessary. that was in the early nineties honestly can't even remember anyone using the showers either.
They just open a new gym up the road from me, only 2 minutes away that's open 24 hours, and I've noticed that in the early morning hours, there are some, but very few cars in their parking lot, and I'm the same way about having people around me casually getting in my personal space like you described, and I worry that my self-control might fail me and I'll pop one of those inconsiderate rude guys. So a mostly empty gym sounds like a good alternative to a gym with wall-to-wall people who seem more interested in posing and prancing around than actually working out, even if it takes going in the middle of the night.
I shower when i get home, solves all the issues. And yes, gym locker rooms are like that in most gyms now
Social media is to blame.

totally agree with ya, however LoL cracked me up how you conveyed this, was never like that when I used to go, but I got sick of wasting money on gym memberships years ago and built my own setup in my garage, haven't gone to a public gym in close to 15 years or so, that would bug the living sh!t outta me though.
See this all the time. Socializing in the locker room and on the floor of the gym as if they are not even there to workout. They just get in the way of others who are trying to work out. I started going to back to a gym a few months ago and it is the first time I’ve seen it and I’m 34.
A great gym I used to go to had a pretty impressive locker room with a sauna. The locker room was kinda separated from the restroom.
I still didn't spend much time in there.
Old people were doing this in the 90's when I first started going to gyms. Now, I stick to hiking with a strategic shoulder sling surprise if I must.
Being 74 years old I began with Holiday Spa in the San Fernando Valley and had a membership for 17 years basically what I was enjoying was the women due to the fact that often I would see people who I grew up with. That being said the Steam room, pool and jacuzzi- the weights and machines were also great along with treadmill.During my workouts often people would try to talk to me but I always wore headphones and listened to music or books on tape basically the time I had for exercise didn’t want to be interrupted. Even back in the day majority of people would bullshit their time away.
I put basically a full gym together years ago because I preferred to workout alone.
Maybe there's an ATF sausage smokers training facility nearby. Or the F.B I. Pulling a "Hoover "
No, Jack, you are not getting old. I personally think that many of the younger generation people are not taught manners. They don't think of personal space because they are usually on their computer, face to face. Don't think that you are weird. In fact I wish more men were like you. Your wife should be proud. May God be with you and your family.
I always try to get in and out of the locker room as quickly as possible. I want to spend my time training. But I see those teens doing what you’ve just described. I’m in my thirties myself so maybe we are just old school. But I go there for 1 thing and 1 things only, And that is to hit the bars and workout
You're definitely right about young guys hanging out in the locker rooms. It's weird...
I used to hang out with buddies in the gym but we'd be getting our set in while we talked. That was on base though so I suppose the mindset was different. In civilian gyms I do see a lot of sitting around.
I go late a night, because I don't like deal with people. My 2 adult son's, my wife and I hit the gym around 19:00, we see a few people cycle through but not many. And no one is filming themselves...
I left the public gym about a year ago because it was frustrating trying to get to get a workout in when it seemed like everyone under 35 were there more for a social hangout.
Just a possible explanation: Homeless people could be using the locker room to get get clean and if they are homeless, then it makes sense that they would want to stay there longer than people who aren’t homeless.
Many years ago I stopped going into gyms and women's locker rooms. It's getting weird in there too.
