GYMNASIUM GENTRIFICATION


I have First Nations to thank for the title . The powers that be had closed the Beasts Gymnasium for three days of refurbishment.It was a perfectly good functional no frills gym.
I was less than impressed by the following 'improvements'
1.New carpets - it looks exactly the same as the old carpet but seems to have a very nasty chemical smell to it but I guess if the old one was wearing out.......
2.Artwork - well fuck me sideways , I thought I was there to train and sweat . Who has time for artwork ? its a fecking gym.
3.Mood lighting - some idjit has replaced some of the lights with coloured bulbs , making it dark and gloomy , I will now spend half my time wandering into bits of equipment and groping around in the gloaming . One wonders what mood they were going for, other than a bad one.
4.Sanitising Gel. It is now unacceptable to sweat apparently one is supposed to immediately rush to your nearest gel dispenser and wipe down every surface you may have sullied.The fact that you are now be in danger of sticking to or sliding off of the equipment has occurred to no one , but at least you wont encounter a germ of any stripe - god forbid. What is wrong with this ridiculous 'no risk' society , I would prefer to have a fully functioning immune system , you only get that if it is constantly challenged.
All the gyms and health clubs have been wooing the yummy mummy market (middle class bored brainless housewives) to keep the places full while everyone else is at work , unfortunately what follows is non sense like points 2 -4 , whatever next coordinated throw cushions on the bench press , Laura Ashley gym mats ????? .
Its a gym , not your front room , its supposed to be functional , cant you just carry on ruining the environment with your gas guzzling 4x4's and bringing up lazy ,illiterate,undisciplined over weight offspring
AND LEAVE MY GYM ALONE
Jeez

you do bring a good point...i have never understood the new concept of working out...when i was in training we were just glad to get a towel no one had sweated all over...everything else was fair game and it added to the experience...you do your exercises more strenously when you are trying to get away from the armpit smell of the guy/girl next you and therefore get a better workout...imo of course...

At least the new 'mood' lighting will hide you munching on that beanburger while you plod along on the 'slow setting' on the treadmill.

Is the gym attendance having any effect yet?

Thought not. Fat cunt.

Yay! First!


Oh its two tons of fun Piggy and tazzy.....Barnsley's answer to the Weather Girls :-)

i must say beast your last words were the most intriguing in all of your posts :)

Are you sure the gel isn't lube? Some gym equipment looks very dildo-ish to me. I would chase the housewives round the gym for exercise.

your jungle gyms must be somewhat different Mr Bananas , I havn't seen much dildo-ish equipment in mine.To be fair you wouldnt get much of a chase out of the housewives , most are a bit porky , I think they only go for a chat with their mates , you never see much evidence of excersise going on

i for one am all for hosing down the eq after some vast greasy thing has been lying on the vinyl heaving away at the freeweights...can you say 'staph'? gaaaaaah. the runnels of dried salt are bad for the mechanism anyway.

ever run into the guy on the legpress who farts with each extension? i hate that guy.

I have been developing my own freeweights grunting , I can sound like I am giving birth to a bullock when doing fly's....my trainer is very impressed

Oh yes every gym has a farting legpress man.... I think he comes with the machine when you order it

BEAST said...

Awww Mr Piggy signs himself Dirty Still Fat Cunt.

A quick shower and something in 'slimming ' black should sort that out....The Beast is here to help

The Mistress said...

I feel the need to sanitize and hose down my blog whenever Piggy drops by.

Something in slimming black? You mean like Denzel Washington?

Okay, I'll take him.

Yummy mummies AND FREELANCERS go to the gym in the middle of the day thank you very much. It's the only place I can watch the fabulous Lorraine in peace!

Except the TB is into the "Bonding going to the Gym" in other words he never gets there if he goes on his own so I have to go with him - honestly he has a perfectly good mother, I really did not sign up for that job!

The lighting makes overweight people less self consious :)

Mr Gaskins Curiosity Emporium said...

I shudder to remember a comedy show where a woman starts a rant about sweaty gym equipment and a chiselled young fellow comes over and apologising, saying he'll wipe it off... at which point she says 'don't worry I'll do it' and proceeds to lick the bench... sick, yes, funny, almost...

It is sickening how people act all retarded about germs and junk. Yea, I actually made it to 48 w/o hand sanitizers and bottled water, for creep's sake. Doesn't it want to make you just slap the Martha Stewart smile off their stupid faces?

BEAST said...

HURRAH its DBS , how you doing ?
Where you been ?
Welcome back and yes It does make you want to have a good slap fest

Pinky , life is about balance , one certainly has to balance a virtious life of frenzied exercise and spiritual pursuits with Beer , trashy television and salty snacks....and yes topless dancing girls / pole dancing transvestites*........the natural law of the universe must be obeyed

* Not Riverdance thats just freaky - too many legs

Daisy said...

I cannot imagine what you are doing in a Gym anyway... really you should know better at your age...
