I assume it has the open pigeon holes like most of the big gyms.

My days at standard commercial gyms I had a towel that had a little zip up pocket. Let’s went in there, at most I’d leave a hoodie in the pigeon holes if it was a cold commute to the gym.

Have always carried my bag around since day dot. I don't trust anyone.

vvv that down there is one particular gym.


(Am also handing my car keys in at the desk at the pool. How easy would it be to steal a car, while someone's doing laps in the pool. Would not see a thing)

My gym has lockable lockers with a code. Once I had to draw out $800 from the ATM prior was still scared leaving it there. Was like looking around making sure no one could see the code I put in 🤣

One of my gyms have a location in the shopping centre, so its pretty hard to find where someone parked when there is multiple close parks.

Added to that, my car is a POS with no valuables, so I don't really worry at that location

Pool would be easy as. Esp if they had a couple ppl doing it.

Once I was doing laps a guy sat right next to my bag. Was so random and weird. I literally just stared at him.. in the end got out and left. Something was just not right. And there was plenty places to sit.

First time in 20 years today - we had an evacuation drill. Never had one before in all the years / times I've been to the gym.

Also, a guy 'worked in' while I was doing hex bar deads. Ended have a bit of a chat between sets, was respectful and friendly. First time for that as well.

Had a blackout once at my gym.

I wouldn't know what a deadlift was if it came up and slapped me across the face

It's a light exercise for beginners like this guy performing one:

more curious than anything else;

people who wear hats to the gym - why?

More importantly, do the hats have stickers?

Absolutely, I remember walking into a boxing gym for the first time absolutely shitting them, luckily a bloke there recognised this and introduced himself, made me feel comfortable etc. I always try and do the same for other newbies.

On topic we've been doing a bit of friendly sparring after class, got humbled by a younger, bigger, fitter and just better bloke ha ha, good fun though.

What's a piece of shit.

I assumed NO ONE would want my 2017 Ford but while I was away my neighbour car got broken into (granted is a newer car than mine). They have keys now and are doing it in broad daylight.
