Should old people be banned from commercial gyms? Or at least should they be accompanied by a PT at all times and only be allowed to use machines? I'm sick of seeing old people doing the most retarded shit in my gym, taking up space and using equipment incorrectly.
Here are a few of the worst offenders at my gym:
>Captain anemia
Lanky, bald guy. Often seen hopping on one leg like he's playing hopscotch or 1/16 pistol squatting on a bosu ball. I just stare at him and think "why are you here?".
>Oba-san
Tiny, asian granny. Comes into the gym wearing her coat and brings her bag in with her. Puts all her things on the floor in the free weight area then grabs the lightest pair of dumbbells on the rack, stands in front of the mirror (often in front of other people) and does these retarded "side crunches" where shes just shifting weight from one leg to the other for about 5 minutes.
>The Witch
Ancient and haggard, clad all in grey. She brings a chair from outside the gym and does everything sitting down. Always asks the staff to turn the heating up to the detriment of everyone actually working hard.
And so on. I'm all for old people being active (I want to still be strong when I'm 50) but when you're that old and you've obviously never lifted before in your life why start? What do they really have to gain? Just go for a walk, it's free and keeps them out of my gym. Thank you.
