[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I was at the gym yesterday.  Two older ladies got into it before class over spots (despite our reservation system).  The fight continued after class and involved the instructor as well, who just wanted everyone to drop it--it was a yoga class where you are supposed to chill out.  The one lady actually said to the instructor, who is probably 30-35, that he was "too young" to understand.   I am not making this stuff up.[/quote].

I could tell many stories like this and worse where there's deliberate bullying in terms of thrown weights and arm hits.  We're talking 55+ here.
The basic issue IMHO is that some gyms are overfilled and so people get frustrated. Gyms have to meet high for profit number targets but also to give them credit, the classes are too full because they are trying not to disappoint people who want to attend popular classes.

Mostly people are considerate but there's always someone with entitled behavior.  For example, we are so crowded yet that person doesn't register and just strolls in and pretends to have a spot which takes it away from a waitlist person.  [/quote]
