I go to a small private gym run by a friend.  Most of the people there compete, but there's no pressure to do so, nor do you catch hell from the other members for being new, etc.

It's all in where you go.

In theory a gym could be an awesome place, but I've yet to find one that isn't primarily comprised of complete assholes.

And somehow gyms seem to attract the worst of them.

But no, you're right, my experience must be invalidated because it was different from yours.

RE: Gyms. Unless your environment is too brutal for it, gyms seems like a scam to me. And hell, Alaska is super hostile, but it still seems like bullshit to me. Having walked most of last winter my view here is sort of confirmed.

HOWEVER: I can still see the value. It is safer, few people get mugged in the gym as opposed to jogging, I would imagine.

THEN AGAIN, I supose with what you have to pay, that comparison is a wash.

In the end I am happy when people take care of their own precious bodies anytime they do so.

RE EVERYONE SHITTING ON NET:

DUDE, I don't think that was anyone's intention. Pretty sure EoC's goal was Teh Funnay.

FINALLY: Steam rooms are the shit.

Name me one thing a turtle has done for any of you beyond start a needless argument or make you puke for 12 hours.

Aside from the daily blessing you all receive from the Great God *holy horns* Om gives you, of course.

Hey Net, nobody is shitting on you, despite your apparent intention to shit on the discussions you've been taking part in the last few days. I don't know if you realize you're doing it, but you entered into this discussion, the Moloch discussion, and, ERIS FUCKING HELP ME, the Ninja Turtles discussion oddly aggressive. That, coupled with your apparent flounce, indicate to me that you may not be in the proper mindset to converse. That's fine - every single person on PD has done that at one point or another.

I want you to know, and I do hope you'll read this, that I did not mean to contribute negatively to whatever you've got going on. Would you, maybe, be interested in telling anyone what that might be?

I don't know. His name change indicates a flounce. That and the above mentioned conversations give me an impression of a case of The Offs.

Yeah. And bringing this back around to the topic, exercise really is the best way to beat them back.

I feel more likely to run if I'm near a treadmill. Walking or running outside seems task oriented to me. I'm walking from point A to point B. If I'm running it's because I see the train coming.
