I love how this internet debate started on a Barstool podcast and has made it to deadspin like 2 months later.

Expensive or complicated? A $20 pour of scotch takes less effort than a $4 beer.
Deadspin is due for another Action Park article. The comments always turn into a campfire jamboree of gruesome tales and it’s just the best.
I get that he forces himself into the public consciousness, but at what point does it become bullying someone with a cognitive disability?
But that means people wouldn’t be allowed to post whiny internet comments about screen orientation...
HA HA HA Good one. Never seen this comment before. How’d you come up with it?
People hold their phone vertically 90% of the time. Having the wherewithal to capture something so terrifying at all is remarkable, but it’s a real shame they didn’t think of the fart sniffer internet commenters who’d bitch about their…
This was an actual ride at Action Park.
Be wary of any colleges that offer you a Stipend is also some good advice.
That’s why I said to ask questions. I didn’t want to get too deeply into it, but since you brought it up, you should be looking for a personal trainer with either a certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), American Council on Exercise (ACE), National Strength and Conditioning Association…
I hope you’re able to find somewhere else to work out or a program that doesn’t require you to be in a gym. Just don’t give up on staying fit because of some b-holes.
I’m so sorry you had that experience. I definitely don’t envy the position many women are put into in and out of the gym. I hope you found a program that you can do outside of a gym. If you haven’t, it sounds like you were doing some interval training, so maybe a boot camp would be up your alley.
There’re a few photos floating around the internet of signs in gyms that say “If you’re too weak to re-rack your weights, please come to the front desk and one of the girls will do it for you,” and “if you’re strong enough to lift it, you’re strong enough to put it away.” Sexism aside, I bet they’re effective.
Sorry, friend. That sucks. Even dudes who rerack everything else will leave a 45 on the overhead and incline press machines’ prongs, which are just high enough that a person under 5'4 would have a hell of a time getting them off safely, especially someone who lacked the upper body strength to move the 45 in the first…
I’ve belonged to both and could not disagree more. While the environment at a local gym (and this goes for CF as well) may appear more social and inviting, they tend to be super cliquey because the gym is a social environment so people establish gym friendships and groups.
The econo-box gyms don’t lend themselves to…
This morning I saw a girl and a guy I’d never seen before doing bench presses and if my gym had a bookie I’d have bet my house that they weren’t going to re-rack. Not only did they leave her 10 and 5 lb plates on the bar, they left his 45s and 25s on the floor leaning against the bench.
I’m sorry you went through that. That sounds like a toxic culture created among the employees, but I’d be shocked if it carried over to the members. That said, there will always be assholes.
To anyone self-conscious about their body, please know that nobody in the gym is judging you for how you look or how much weight you’re moving. 400 lbs and doing 5 lb curls? Nobody will bat an eye.
People do notice weird exercises and/or terrible form. There are several heavier people at my gym and I couldn’t tell you…

Gave up halfway through the season where they meet the nice people who aren’t all nice and have to drive in an RV a lot. Not the first time though. The second? I dunno.
