When the girlfriend goes to the gym with me and suddenly an attractive lady is within sight, the girlfriend is constantly looking at me. I can't decide if she trying to catch me checking the other girl out or making sure that I'm not catching her checking the other girl out. Pretty comical.....and annoying at the same time.

Literally we caught each other checking the same girl out at the same time last night.

Sounds like a possible win-win scenario.

Best way to avoid gym annoyances is....stop going to the gym!

Just street run or do some heavy chores at home. That's free too and a whole lot less boring. (And less smelly than a gym). More cash left for car mods..

The only people gyms are good for is the gym owner. 💲💲💲

I take advantage of running outside and my household chores. That said my gym is $10/mo.... There are no mods for my car that I want that would cost $120, a full year of a gym membership. I would have to stop going to the gym for 3 years to save enough to buy one "decent" mod lmao. Point is the money I spend at the gym goes unnoticed, and is well worth it. Also I have a blast at gym, so to each their own.

Even if you triple my gym expenses, you drive a brand new m2, so a full year gym membership is most likely less than half of one of your monthly payments. I.e. very affordable.

Thats cheap...

Average UK gym is £32/m (40USD/m) basic.

Plus time lost there, time/money wasted driving there and back, parking fees, gym "stuff" etc..

This is my "man maths" for justifying not going to a gym

Lol, lifting weights is the most financially inexpensive hobby I've ever had, and can ever foresee anyone having. Things may be more expensive in the UK, but the cost here is very low, and if you normalize it by time spent and compare to other things, it is by far the most bang for the buck activity in my life.

Time "wasted" there = time enjoyed. To each his own.

Mine is $140 a month for me and the wife. It is all inclusive though (parking, most classes, daycare, all amenities, etc.). Well worth the investment to me, as I don't really want to rely on house chores and end up looking like a dough boy.

That sounds high relative to mine, but I'm not sure what the daycare would cost for my membership, I'm sure it would be extra. Parking is free, and my membership is $30/month. I get $20/month reimbursement from my medical insurance if i go 12 or more times a month, which I only miss when I go out of town for long periods.

Once a year, I buy pre-workout (40$), a set of gloves (20$), and miscellaneous like a foam roller (40$). There are also wear items like clothes and shoes - call it 200$ a year max.

And finally, a one time investment of about 1000$ to have a home gym as well. Obviously, the last one is not really an ongoing cost and was very optional.

Anykind of manual chore, gardening, getting leaves, chopping wood, cleaning windows, tidying up, jeez vacuuming even!

Better do them all yourself, keep fit in the process and not have to pay someone else to do it.... and get wife points too

No weight issues here - fit as a fiddle, we've got a lot of stairs.

Yeah it is high, but still worth it to me. All top of the line equipment that is always working (down for a day max when something does break) and no extra costs. I do yoga with the wife a few times a week on top of my lifting. They have foam rollers, trigger point balls, those big vibrating machines, etc for post workout. Hell they even provide shit like mouthwash and deodorant.

Plus the gym comes with tennis courts, basketball courts, 2 indoor pools (hot and cold), outdoor pool with bar, public hot tub, and then each locker room has their own hot tub, sauna, and steam rooms.
