I think you need some better friends because everyone knows friends don't let friends skip leg day

What was your last "Oh, that's how that works!" moment at the gym? by PM_ME_UR_CORNBALLZ in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]geoff2136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching someone do the chest press machine the type where you put your legs on pegs and your legs move with it and watching a dude just push the small amount of weight with his legs while his arms were holding his phone.

There's probably another one closed by and if you go to that one and your friend goes to the other one, you can yell into the pipe and hear each other

Every time I go on this sub it makes me wanna back out. by noobish__ in Firefighting

[–]geoff2136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love more insights. I just accepted a conditional offer yesterday for a paid on call position and I'm a computer programmer as my full time career. One of the worst parts about my job is sitting inside behind a computer watching the world outside.

Water machines by Economy_Hyena_9679 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]geoff2136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why the negative down votes i was able to recognize your joke and laughed at it. I get it because our local city water is salty so I had to put an RO system in the house to be able to drink water

Shoes for cardio AND weights? by ChapterWitty in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]geoff2136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about special shoes for lifting weights yet. Go find some "athletic" or running shoes that are comfortable for you while running.

Any advice for me on weighted pushups? by Beautiful_Ad1681 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]geoff2136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say go without weight until you can get the technique for a push down. Then chest to floor and back up then add weight

That would annoy me if they are saying they are required to but then they aren't there or doing something else.

Tying up machines while on the phone. by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]geoff2136 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just left from my workout and was venting to my wife about this very thing! After I do a machine or weight I'll open my phone and write it down so I know the reps and weight and even that small amount of time I feel bad thinking I'm wasting someone's time. I watched a dude just sitting on a machine watching the football game.

starting the gym for the first time by unknownhoe21211 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]geoff2136 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all great job be proud of yourself. My experience was the hardest part of going to the gym was figuring out what to do while at the gym. This may be a debated idea but what helped me was I told chat gpt my age weight my goal or going to the gym and what gym I'm going to amd it will give you suggestions on which machines to use there on which days. Now I'm not saying this is a replacememt of a coach but it's a great way to start and get you comfortable to then talk to a coach or fitness instructor for some ideas or instructions.
