I have been going to the same gym for 6 years. Of the 100 or so regulars I see on a nightly (not every one is an every-nighter) maybe a handful has had any noticable improvement over this time period.
I see:
- socializing for hours at a time.
- talking on the cell phone while on the treadmill (so annoying).
- walking back and forth from the weights to the sauna
- looking at themselves in the mirror.
- twiddling their thumbs.
- nonstop complaining about how they can't get rid of their flabby stomach. So much so that they're probably burning more calories complaining about it than they are working out.
What i don't see:
- anybody breaking a sweat.
- anybody doing anything besides trying to lift the most weight they can, and doing a horrible job at it.
I don't understand why these people go to the gym. It's a complete waste of their time. SIX FREAKING YEARS and NOTHING!

As long as you are getting results with your workouts you shouldn't care about those losers......if you are so annoyed and you think you are at a higher level ....just join a better gym don't you think? where you go? Bally's?

Well then that is their own fault huh. I go to the gym to and have been in sports all my life. I know how you feel. I see alot of socializing at my gym. I go to a all-female gym and they talk sooo much! When I am in the gym, I am there for the obvious reason. I don't understand some girls sometimes and I am ONE! lol

Yet another place to socialize. What a waste. Who would want to spend $40/month just to stand around a bunch of machines that they will never use. I see it all the time at my gym. The girls in their almost nothing outfits trying to get every guys attention. Girls like that give girls like me a bad name. Go to the bar!

i totally agree¨with u. i go to gym every day and i have noticed the same thing. i think they visit gym to boast to their friends and colleagues - im a mamber of gym, i go there every day. but in reality they just come there, they don't do anything and they think they have more rights to gobble more buns at home - of course, u have been to gym, u deserve a reward! but anyway, why do u care about them? i don't. i come to gym, work out in silence, i don't engage myself into conversation even if they try very hard, i leave and i dont' eat anything. i see improvements on myself. so why would i care about fat losers? good luck training

Maybe it's harder for them to take off the weight since they are six years older.
Also, many people use the gym as places to socialize.

I know it's annoying, but listen to your ipod and focus on yourself while you are there.
You live your life and let them live theirs.
HOPE THIS HELPS : )
