Wow, some people need to be more welcoming and understanding. You guys are very prejudiced and selfish. Model good behavior and inform others of the rules courteously.[/quote]

You clearly do not work out regularly in a gym nor have ever worked at one. The[b] sudden influx of gym goers in January is obnoxious [/b]and just a huge pain in the ass to those of us who have better lifestyles all 12 months of the year [/quote]

I am curious - how is it obnoxious?  [/quote]

Not pp or OP, but think of it this way... do you commute to work on the road? Or metro/public transportation?

Let's say on January 1st, a rather arbitrary day, a HUGE amount of people decided to change their commute to the exact mode you were using. It causes a whole bunch of new congestion, all at once, for no real reason. And because these people haven't been doing it before (hitting the highway, using Metro, whatever you use), they have really terrible etiquette. They don't signal, they don't know how to merge, they drive slow in the left lane, they stand on the wrong side of the escalator, they rush in when you're trying to get out. They put their bags everywhere.

It's different than a few newbies at a steady pace throughout the year. The new, huge, sudden influx of people who don't know what they're doing clogging up everything (machines, classes, etc) while also having terrible etiquette... that's annoying as hell.

It's not like you think those people should quit their jobs, and it's not like people think you shouldn't work out. It's the rapid congestion & massive cluelessness.

And you just walked into a gym on day one and knew exactly what your routine was going to be? You just knew where everything was? You just knew what your body was/wasn't capable of? Or did your workout adjust over time as you acclimated to the gym and its flow?

I'm sure you weren't clueless at all your first week in a gym. Again, the empathy is overwhelming. [/quote]

You're not getting it. It's not the new-ness. It's the new-ness ALL AT ONCE WITH SO MANY PEOPLE.

Yes, everyone was new at some point - I didn't start working out in January. I started at a random time in the middle of the year. There's a major difference between stragglers of newbies slowly sustained over 12 months, and a massive influx all at once in January. Is this really that difficult for you to comprehend?

I get it, you are inconvenienced. What you don't get is how petty you sound. We all know that this is a temporary issue. Get over it.[/quote]

We get it, you're joined a gym on January 1st a few times, and always quit. And it's easier to to blame others for pointing this tendency out, than to take responsibility for yourself. [/quote]
