What’s with the random old guys that feel the need to get a membership at a University gym?
Miss the good ‘ol college days or something?
At least wear clothes from this decade if you pull that move. Isn’t it easier to drop $10 a month at Crunch than to pay a boatload of money as a non student and walk around like you’re still a student?
And these weirdos aren’t faculty so that’s not an excuse. Go away. You’re creeping out the ladies
How do you know they aren't a student ?
Sounds like you lot have issues in itself if an old person down the gym is freaking you out. Get over yourselves.
Lol. 2019, where being old and not wearing fashionable clothes is creepy.
Lol, most of the old people at the campus gym are university staff or professors or something. I think they get in for free, like the students.
This is dumb.
Exactly. The rec center on campus is for everyone, not just students. Staff and Faculty get to go too, if not free, then subsidized (depending on the school). Besides, why pay more for a crappier LA Fitness that is miles away, when you can go to a nice gym right next to your work building?
You're being awfully harsh on the university's benefactors.
Alternatively, the old farts could waste their money buying obscure art and playing the slots. Instead, they're donating to the university and staying active and healthy.

Yeah...like what's the average age of a college student these days?....something like "50" I'm hearing. ?
Quite a lot of mature students these days, it's not about averages.

I remember back in the 90's these "old creepy guys" were in the gym then also. THen they would go into the locker room and walk around naked. Never forget the first time I saw what gravity does to the ole' berries
So, the millennials shower with their shorts on and the boomers prance around naked. Boy....what a world! ?
It's not just a campus thing. They like to sit in the hot tub at the Y for hours where I live. Then they stand around naked in the locker room forever.
I cannot wait till I am old for this very reason. Being a creepy old guy is like a right of passage. One of the few perks of being old.

How would you know? Sounds like you are standing there watching them.

Well. This is the second time here at LRC that I was glad I was a lady runner.

And if creepy old guys are loaded they can attract creepy young girls. ?

Agreed. WTF their behavior is disgusting. They aren’t creepy just in 2019, they have ALWAYS been creepy.
No it’s not a rite of passage. Not all old guys are like that. Don’t be disgusting.
Worst of all was at this one Y where they would sit around naked on some vinyl sofas and watch TV. !!!!!!!!! Thankfully that facility was torn down and a new one built.
When I was in college I couldn’t stand anybody above 30 in the weight room. GTFO. I get it. They should have different facilities for faculty and staff.
Exactly! And I am on my way!

Mate, I've been saying this for years. Old people over 30 should be gassed like in Logan's Run. All creepy, prejudiced old farts that are just a drain on the economy, every single one of them.
When my old gym went co-ed, the old guys were outraged that they were going to be required to wear swimsuits in the lap pool.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
