[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you at Lifetime?  I have the same feeling but it's women too.  It ruins the vibe of the gym at certain times.

OP, a lot of insurance plans now have agreements with health plans for super cheap rates.  At Lifetime these memberships are limited to certain hours so that if you come during this time frame you are surrounded by geezers who spend hours at the gym; with no job to go to they are in no hurry.

Before people judge me, my particular resentment comes from the fact that my workout hours coincide with the insurance hours and a lot of the class schedule has been given over to specialized elderly classes.  They even fill up the "regular" classes so that there's an overall dumbing down/easing up of intensity that I don't like.  I don't go to the gym for easy.[/quote]

You don’t go to the gym for easy… right now.

But one day you may. Be grateful programs will exist for you.

I’m supportive of ANYBODY who is going to the gym. Go, you! [/quote]

Sure, but if classes geared towards the elderly take the place of classes for more able-bodied people, that's a problem. It will eventually simply become a gym for the elderly, as younger folks migrate to other gyms. And that's not a great business model, since elderly people, well...they're less likely to be long-term members. [/quote]

I would LOVE a gym dedicated to older people. Sign me up and I'll overlook your ignorant "more able-bodied people" remark.[/quote]
