Hey gym, do you realize how shitty it is to have no male showers for over a month? I can see a week or two but a month is unacceptable. How can I go to work after the gym if I can’t get a simple shower? I can’t! Get your shit together and fix the fuckin’ showers! —Pissed Off Gym Guy

  4. Could you change your routine and go to the gym after work and shower at home?

    In any event, this is a valid bitch. If you’re paying money for a service and you’re not getting it, you have every right to be pissed off! Some of the gyms around here are dumps (certain private gym locations around HRM) and some are really well maintained. It’s almost a crap shoot.

    I quit the private gym about two months ago and now go to the CGC (luckily it’s close as frig to my place) and they do a decent job at keeping the facility in working order (since it’s new and all), but I always hated changing there because it was always wet and icky from the pool… well, turns out, lol, I completely missed the OTHER change room they have for those not using the pool. LOL. It’s far less crowded, and I can change in an actual private changing stall. I used to be ok with changing right out in the change room at the private gym, but for some reason I’m not that comfortable at this place. Not sure why, exactly. But I know for one thing I hate the fact that they let 14 year olds work out there — most of whom sit around and yell vular things at each other. Last time I was there this 14 year old yelled at this guy that she “wasn’t goin’ let him eat [her] pussy no’ mo’ since he’d been callin’ [her] a ho!” all while she texted on her blackberry.

    At least at the private gyms the age min was 16 and the membership tended not to be so fucking ghetto.

    Anyway, keep complaining and call head office. Daily. After every work out session. That should get the point acrossed.

  8. Then you should go see your urologist, Luthor. Sounds like you blew an O ring.

  11. so, just go into the female showers next time. bet when you hear all those laughs and sueals from them, the male ones will be fixed in an hour. i would just bet, that they work, but you are just out to bitch about something stupid. if you get all sweaty working out, then you are doing something wrong. i used to do a lot of heavy lifting and different kinds of heavy activity when i was working, and you know what o.p.? i never sweated so much as a fly’s balls of sweat. because i don’t go all caveman to impress the chicks.
    i haul a deer out of the woods, fully dressed and warm, almost 5 miles, to the road. and not a bead does break my brow. yep, i’m mr. non sweatty dude, even in a fucking gym, lifting weights. been there, did it.

  13. I feel I should point out to the people on here who do not go to this gym and or are female. The showers at said gym are not broken. They are being completely renovated. It sucks but that sort of thing takes time.

    Just thought I’d point out that we are not talking about a broken shower head that is being neglected. its major construction ( demolition, tile, grout…) Just saying.

  14. Our downtown office building even has showers available for staff. Either find a new gym, or a new job.

  15. Or go to the gym after work and shower at home. That’s what I do. I hate lugging all my shower crap to the gym with me.

  17. Eh. Some of us live within walking distance to our gym.

    And some of us actually don’t smell gross after working out. *shrug*

  20. That’s so cute, PG!

    And, really, I could not bother with the shower after going to the gym and no one would be the wiser. I always smell like sunshine and lollipops. I wonder if that’s proportionate to the amount of suckage a person is? You smell badly and you suck a whole lot, zed, and you’re kind of a huge douche, and I smell like sunshine and lollipops after the gym and I don’t suck in the least. 🙂

    I may be onto something here.

    I do shower though because I don’t like the feeling of dried sweat all over me. Blech.

  23. I’ll bet he instinctively knows that they make him better, PG! 🙂

    Oscar can tell when my mom’s going to have a seizure and he also knows when we’re sick and spends extra time cuddling up with his sick human. He usually only cuddles with my mom at night otherwise 🙂 I love the kittehs!
