My gym reduced the amount of available spots and is now always full

Due to corona scare, they'll let 20 people in the gym at a time. Gotta book in advance.
Everything is booked full for a week. So if i want to lift, i gotta book for 5 november. I can book 4 times. So now i can lift from 5-8 november.
But then before i can book again after my session is over, it's already booked full till next week.

This fukking rustles my jimmies. How can i make gains lifting 8 days a month?
Planning on just walking in the gym pretending i booked since no one checks it and the gate is always open.

it's not the worst OP

so basically you can go in the gym 2x week, do whatever exercises you can't do at home over there, then say for the other 2 days do dumbbell/band workouts


it sucks and I agree with you except for when you said you can't make any gains. 2x a week in the gym and 2x a week say doing home workout stuff is plenty. Try out different things like sprints and weighted jumps. You can make it work if you are able to get into a gym 2x a week trust me.

Either that or go to a different gym that isn't cucked

My Uni gym lets in 8 ppl to the weight room every hour and u book 5 days in advance. So if u lift at the same ‘time slot’ every day, u have to book right at the second cus it literally fills up instantly.

I don’t go there anymore..

California is a ****hole for a lot of reasons, the weather not being one of them, my gym moved 90% of their stuff outside under a tent. A lot of other gyms have followed suit. So California may take my liberties but they'll never take my gains.

heard on teh radio this morning that people are lining up outside the gyms around here 50 deep at 6am before they even open. of course only the first 20 get in, and the rest have to go home sad.

so glad work has a decent gym w/o all that bs. i don't mind driving in on my off days to not have to deal with that bs.

the hoa's gym is even dumber, you have to sign up in advance, you can't use the bathroom while you're there, and you never know what equipment is going to be open, and what is going to be restricted on any given day "for rotation and cleanliness" until you walk in the door.

"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

In B4 throw rug ban on manlets
"The manlet is a savage beast that knows no moral bound. After falling in disgrace to a manmore, a ravaged manlet would not hesitate to come from behind and land a sucker punch/ swing with a rock to the back of a manmore's head. They are ruthless and you need to spend some more time in the gutter to even begin trying to comprehend what goes on in their minds."

Sounds like you go to a small gym. It's likely because your city has capacity limits, so if it's a small place they're gonna have to limit the number of people inside.
At 24 fitness for example they allow 200 in at a time.

So glad the Y where I live doesn’t do all that shenanigans. Only need mask when walking into the building, as soon as you walk into the gym, no mask are required. You’re supposed to wear them between equipment but no one does.
