[Quixote]

Hit a milestone today.

First time since October I haven't skipped Mr. Brightside.

except you. On both counts

 

[peternorth]

What annoys me is my inability to gym it this week so far

 

[Gralin]

i mean if doing this at the gym is weird then I don't want to be normal

Once you train in the dead early hours of the morning it makes it hard to train at civilised times again

This morning, two dudes had the worst BO I’ve ever witnessed. They set up in front of a fan and it spread their stench across the entire gym. Bloody outrageous.

 

[Gralin]

yeah i don't like the fans in the gym, if I'm warmed up nobody needs to be down wind of that, if I'm not well I don't need a fan do I

How do you actually see body odour?

I witnessed it with my olfactory senses. Unfortunately.

This is an absolute killer.

One thing that does my head in, while we're talking about fans. Is people who turn fans off in the gym in an area with equipment that you're using without asking. Absolutely kills me.

One floor fan and one big ass fan were operating tonight in the whole gym. Hard to breathe, got out in 30 mins.

The word 'bro' is single most annoying aspect of any gym these days

lol good point. Wonder why though.

I actually haven’t heard anyone say that in a gym maybe ever... I do have my headphones on 95% of the time at the gym

Yeah I’m not a fan.

I reckon I go to the worst gym in Melbourne. Equipment is fine, membership fees are low, but today I swear I saw a dude blow himself a kiss in the mirror while doing bicep curls.

More a general gym related thing, but the last week I’ve seen a few people posting on a Yarra Valley FB noticeboard after a 1-on-1 personal trainer for multiple sessions per week . . . But then always add “but I don’t want to pay too much” or (as per this morning) “I’ve looked into some places but don’t want to pay a fortune” (in other words: I’m a tightarse and crossing my fingers someone will do me a deal)

 

[Gralin]

yeah it's funny, you see the prices for a 45 minute session and if you haven't looked around think gee thats steep

then you look around and realise it's pretty standard

then you do the math on how many sesssions a week a PT would need to make decent coin and think yeah fair enough, then its just a matter of finding a good one for your goals

If I were a PT I would go the other way and charge $1000 per session, find the top end clientele and reduce the hunt. Positioning is everything.

Imagine trying to train those tight arses? “Oh what? I slept in and you’re still going to charge me for my session!???”

What does an average 45 minute one on one sesh with a PT cost?

Id say 60 min.
