My local gym looks like one of those youtube fail videos this week.

    Some of the notable mentions:

    -Had to wait 20 minutes for the squat racks/deadlift platforms because every one was occupied by people doing curls or shrugs.

    -3 ladies standing on a vibration machine holding hands and giggling.

    -2 ladies (of the 3 mentioned above) on the treadmill at the same time taking selfies.

    -Boyfriend/girlfriend using the leg extension at the same time (she was on his lap)

    -Morbidly obese guy in boxers.

    -2 guys doing some sort of golf swing variation on the cable machines.

    I really do respect anyone willing to set foot in the gym and try to better themselves, but february can't come soon enough. :)

    Mine wasn’t so bad. There were several really fat ladies, but no real issues.

    I was waiting until the first of the year to get in shape, but it sounds like February is a much better option. Maybe even March.

    Thanks

    No change at mine. Not a single new face. And, the dude I almost killed still hasn’t been seen.

    Curls in the squat rack, that never gets old. Garage gym ftw, no queues!

    True, but there's also never any chance of random talent showing up to provide that extra bit of motivation you might need. :D

    I usually go between 4 and 5 AM, so I don't see as much stupid as most since the New Years crowd usually isn't coming in that early. But, I did see a guy doing curls on a bosu ball in the squat rack while wearing jeans just after Christmas.

    I am right there with ya! I hate the crowd come the new year at our Y. And like you said, usually about by the sixth week it's back to only the regulars.

    I dont mind the new people because they will leave but if I have to tolerate one more steak head banging weights on the ground while doing dead lifts I may snap.
