top 10 reasons I like to have a home gym

Few years back, I've already realized that that public gyms can be really annoying. Wait, to be more precise, it's mainly caused by the amount of people who workout there. I won't generalize and it is definitely unfair to say that everyone who goes to public gyms are such jerks because that's wrong, I wasn't. *smirks* As if it's not horrible enough, I've ascertained that apartment gyms are bad too. Oops, let me correct myself again, it is  the people who kills the fun. Not all, but many.

10. Sound pollution. Ah yes, the ubiquitous sound pollution! Most gyms do have music being played. It's loud enough. Therefore, I don't think it's necessary for people to take out their phones and play their music through loudspeaker. Are you nuts? Your music vs. gym music is causing lots of pollution. It sounds disgusting. It's not your house. Get yourself headphones if you think gym's music sucks.

9. Earthquakes. Yes, earthquakes do occur in gyms. For some reason, people just love throwing the weights to the ground after they finish doing their reps. For what? So that everyone will pause and look at you? Throwing actually means not doing the last rep in the correct form/manner. And it really causes earsore.

8. People who keep bugging you. Such pests! In other words, they strike a convo while you're giving 100% attention to your weights or whatsoever. Hello, I'm busy here, could we talk later?

 

7. Men who try to look really professional by giving advice incessantly. Seriously, is this my body or your body? Don't tell a person his or her limit. Just because someone looks small or short or whatever, it doesn't mean that you have to warn him or her to not push the limits. It's all about pushing yourself further and improving. Moreover, you don't even have the certificate as a professional trainer! 

6. Disorganized barbells, E-Z bars or simply, weights. Okay, we know you paid for the membership but it doesn't mean you can simply dump what you've used there. Have the courtesy to put the equipments back in their original place? Inconsiderate bastards! Other people have to search the whole gym to find one single piece of EQ.

5.  Aunties or uncles who talk more than exercising. They talk about their shit from one end of the room to the other end. Loud, very. As if that's not distracting enough, they need to emphasize the topic by adding in lots of foul language. We don't need that in public places, c'mon, there are people who bring their kids as well you know? And some people just can't focus well if you make so much noise. To be fair, this does not only apply to aunties or uncles, I've seen young men doing this. Oh please, if you enjoy talking so much, go for high tea sessions.

4. Princes and princesses who use the treadmills or bikes for more than half an hour and they hardly break a sweat. It gets worse when there are no other cardio machines available. What the hell are you doing there? Enjoying the scenery? All I can see is 4 walls.

3. Windows shouldn't exist in gyms, huge windows especially. Passersby tend to look inside and just stare at you. Perhaps there's something on your face? But oh, I'm facing the mirror, there's absolutely nothing on my face! So what is he or she staring at!?!? It gets worse when you're running. Feels as if you wanna get down and punch that kepochi in his/her face. 

2.  People who hogs the damn machine for 20 - 30 minutes or wait, even more than that! What were they doing there? They were sitting down chatting away. For fuck's sake, are you blind? There's only one of those in the gym, get your ass off, you're not the only one who paid for it.

1. People love to gawk, especially when you're doing weights. They like to notice how heavy you're lifting. Seriously, are you there to check people out or burn some fat?

Anyways, gotta chao. Time to leave the house. Going back to Ipoh, can't wait to see my ex-deskmate and the Pest, I mean, the Queen.
