Wow, my complaint isn't nearly as interesting as the various usages for hair dryers. It pisses me off when someone who just strolled into the gym that already has a bunch of people exercising and they TURN OFF the a/c! Gee, is the room that is comfortable for everyone else already working out here too cold for you? How about at least asking first you &*#$%?

probably it is too expensive for you or you are too greasy to be trained??

if you complain the services, then goto those gyms in five-star hotels. not heavy, RMB40000 per year including everything generally.

hehe

I would say this behavior is typically confucean.

Quote:
The guys at my gym regularly use the hair dryer on their little testicles. They prop one leg up on the bench next to the sink and get that blower head in their nice and close. Some of them also do their anuses too, which is nice.


That one too. There is an analect about it.

I think men behavior in gym showers is interesting here. They never pull the curtain and shower facing the alley, for all to see. They usually dress from the top down, putting on the underwear as late as possible - typically after making several phone calls and a quick smoke. Disgusting behavior if you ask me.

Well if you to talk about stupidity talk about nutrition: I know of several people that go to the gym, do a shiatty workout and then eat a chocolate bar because they "burned" the energy already, without the most basic understanding of how the human body works. At least they are doing it to themselves and doesn't impact me, so fugg them.

There indeed is an anal-ect about that. Mencius wrote longly about "Courtesy of the Wise Men in the Gymnasiums". The guy turning the AC off is completely confucianist.

Was his grandpa walking backwards in the gym he would politely refrain from touching the ac dial of course.

It's common at Physical for men AND woman to crap while standing up in the showers. Look in the drain sometime and see what DIDN'T get washed away.


Crapping in the showers? Yikes! I'm all for conserving water but come on. And I thought I wore flip-flops at the gym just to protect myself from foot rot, nail fungus and worts.

Such as guys having sex in the steam rooms


Not sure this should come as a surprise--buggering is not uncommon in many health clubs--especially showers and steam rooms. (where do you think the VP got the inspiration for YMCA?) In fact, at both of the gyms I once belonged to in Boston, including the downtown YMCA, the club rules posted in the mens locker room expressly prohibited sexual acts on club premises.

Was at Alexander woman's changing room and there was this woman who after her shower, used the common hair dryer to dry her hair erm.. down there!! I was freaked out. I air-dried my hair that day.


Stupid people are everywhere, this is so true. I also saw one woman used the hair dryer for down there in Physical Xujiahui. I felt so sick of it, since then i'm not going to use their hair dryer anymore.

in Will's gym in jinmao there's a woman hired to be standing by the hairdryers so people won't dare to use it for down there.
that is actually really nasty.
i love how some men in the gym like to check out themselves in the gym, haha
hilarious view. but i have to say, it is so much easier to spot goodlooking guys than on the street, although i know that a lot of them are gay

have you seen the one who picks his nose and hawks while walking on the treadmill?
The number of times I've had to arm wrestle the ayi into cleaning those machines with a dirty rag... The gyms are as much to blame for not educating their country bumpkins on proper conduct in the gym.

I go to Bodytech, formerly a Will's gym branch, local guys who lift weights almost always (75% of the time) suddenly drop the weight/dumbbell on their last rep... regardless if they are lifting 15 or 75 pounds on each hand. Check out the dents on the floor! How manly! Wow! What show of power! im so impressed.... hahahahahahha

Another favorite at Physical on Hua Hai Lu - people doing their laundry! But wait, it gets better - I have seen men on numerous occasions walk into the shower FULLY CLOTHED, get all soaped up, rinse off, then strip and then hang their clothes in the dry sauna. I have seen others sit fully clothed in the dry sauna as well.

It's absolutely hilarious!

My favourite was the guy on the treadmill next to me who decided to light up his cigarette. When I told him not to smoke in the gym he turned to me and said "I'm a policeman". F###wit!
