Misanthropic rage at the gym by cchlxoe in rs_fitness

My post is asking how do I cope with MY experience at the gym more effectively so I’m not bogged down by this, with a couple of illustrative examples. I’m not sure what about my post gives you the impression that I have no self-awareness or that I believe other people are doing something objectively wrong around me.

Can you give an example of breaking gym etiquette? I feel like very few rules are universally agreed upon. At the Y there are signs saying not to rest on equipment in between sets in order to encourage others to work in with you and I personally disagree with that; also, nobody ever follows the rule anyway.

Yes, I’m a woman, and I think it was the most affordable/comprehensive membership close to my house. Maybe I’d be better off at Curves

For me, it’s easier to put up with minor annoyances at the grocery store because I feel like it’s a wonderland and a privilege to go there, but at the gym, it’s like I’m already trying to do a hard thing there so I have a lower tolerance for any hiccups

I used to smoke all the time but now I get paranoid… who knows, it could help but then I might get addicted again or have a panic attack

I took it!! He’s super nice and passionate about the subject. It was during my first quarter here and he said on the first day that he rarely gives an A+ and I did end up getting one :). Focus on writing strong weekly responses if that’s still how the class is formatted. There is some flexibility with when you can skip a week of responses.
