Isn’t that one of the most expensive zip code in the country? High earning 20 something will move to personal trainers when they approach 40, try join a boutique fitness studio.

No wonder people are self conscious going to the gym, with judgmental b****s like OP criticizing every one they see.

Guessing this is an old dude. My kids are very into going to the gym. Several of the men 40+ do not realize it’s creepy as shit to make compliments and comments to teenagers about their bodies when they are working out. Both kids have very little fat so they looked more toned and I guess jacked for DS than they probably are but both have had old dudes make comments to them.

What is going on with that? My dd goes to the gym almost every day and very often older men talk to her: sometimes they are rude and request a machine she is using, tell her she is doing x, y or z wrong. She is very clearly a teenager and not an adult. It's not appropriate to talk to her at all for middle aged men!

Did you go over gym etiquette with your dd before handing her a membership? Is she staying on a machine when she rests between sets instead of letting other gym goers work in? Does she know she should be using weights heavy enough to require rest, or is she staying same station for half an hour at a time? Is she using a bench without a spotter, or even as a place to leave her water bottle and phone? Does she know what good form looks like when using free weights and checking herself in the mirror to make sure she’s keeping it? Is she wiping down equipment when she’s done with it?

If one guy talks to your daughter, maybe she’s just found the jerk. But if they’re all talking to her, maybe there’s something she needs talking to about.

And don’t overlook the possibility that she thinks “form” is learned by watching 19 year old fitness influencers on TikTok. Because that kind of form will bring out all the jerks, even if they’re usually more quiet about it.

This 45 year old dog can deadlift 605 lbs, yet you see so many gen z huffing and puffing trying to run 3/4 of a mile on 5.5 treadmill setting. Man, Gen Z is so fat and out of shape when 40 and 50 year old somethings are in better shape than they are.

65 and that is my warmup deadlift weight. Gen Z are just getting prepared for when the SHTF. Will be able to live for months off of their fat stores. Just a bunch of Polar Bears.

And the fast food ads on tv, wow. I don’t know how people eat that stuff. I guess if you’re poor you get what you can, but little wonder there are so many fat, sick young folks. Has life expectancy shrunk here?

Do you have a cite to the many fat, sick, young folks?

Gen Z is fat as heck:

cause someone lied to them
bout what body positivity meant

sloth
ignorance bout food
not exercising

Arlington is not typical though. It is one of the fittest areas in the country, according to something or other. The demographic is generally young and high-earning.

I'm finding the opposite to be correct. Lots of fit, athletic women in their 20's and early 30's at my gym in Arlington, but finding an attractive single woman over 40 at my gym is nearly impossible.
