Old people at Campus gym

I have to agree, it’s always weird seeing old people sitting around doing nothing in the Rec center staring at everyone. I agree with the younger posters. Go join an appropriate gym. We really don’t want you there. Ever notice we avoid you weirdos? Also you old prunes do the same damn workout that never changes. Using the same machines , just sitting on them and not working out. Go home to your wives, but I doubt they like you either. And you guys still look fat and out of shape. Go for a walk or something. We don’t serve your kind.

It's mostly older guys that provide the funds to build and maintain the facility. If students want their own gym that they can use exclusively let them raise the money to build and pay for it themselves.

Also, I caught 3 girls checking me out. I’ve still got it...

...from behind.?

2 even said hi, even after they realized I was their dad’s age.

Then I swear a different girl tried to make good with me, after she saw my newer Prius.

Campus street cred?

Well, back to the office

It’s funny the different interpretations people can draw from the same reality. Can’t help but think of Michael Scott here from the Office.

Creepy old guys that go to University gym wrote:

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

Tough s#it. Nobody cares what you want or don’t want. You will do nothing about it and just take it.

Beat it you old freaks. It’s not 1992 anymore. You don’t need to rock the Joe Weider weight belt.

Would you say that to 72 yr old Sly Stallone's face? I think you college kids fail to understand that there's middle-aged cats out there who weight train like madmen and could outgun a lot of you guys in the gym: ?

The gyms at my university were used by students, faculty, and staff. As a student, I never thought twice about the fact that older employees were using these facilities. I don't know why this would bother anyone. I was there to work out, not to socialize, so I didn't care who else was or wasn't there.

With ~60,000 students and employees, the school is basically its own city. If you tell a professor that they shouldn't work out on campus, you are basically telling them that they need to leave town for their lunchtime workout. This is basically akin to telling someone who works in Center City Philly that they need to go to a gym in West Philly because all of the gyms within a mile radius of their office would be weird for the to go to.

Stop the loud grunting when you use the foam rollers creepy old guys .

Lol. 2019, where being old and not wearing fashionable clothes is creepy.

If the leg of your shorts are lower than six inches above your knees or go lower, that’s creepy. Just call them by their actual name: manpries.

If your shorts are so baggy that you can fit two of your legs in one leg of your shorts, that’s creepy.

Ummm, why do you believe that?

I have a citywide YMCA membership in NYC. I object to people siting naked on benches or stools with no towel or other barrier between their derrières and the furniture. That is quite unhygienic. My greater objection is to the new law in NYC (NY State also?) that allows people to use whatever locker room that they feel corresponds to their gender. I think this is a greater problem in the (formerly) ladies locker rooms.

I see plenty of young guys "grunting" on foam rollers at the gym I work out at. How long do you want to keep playing this game?

Please old people go join the YMCA or whatever. Stop staring and go do something useful, like volunteer at a museum. It’s for college kids, not old retired freaks. Thank you kindly.

It hasn’t occurred to you that they may not be staring at you, but just lost in thought? After all, it is a university. They may be solving some quadratic equations in their head - not staring at your fake Kardashian ass. Don’t flatter yourself, lady.

Incorrect—they are staring.

Weirdos, creeps, pervs, they piss me off at the Y, and I’m 53.

Gross.

Worse yet is a bunch of retirees talking and acting like they’re 14.

GTFO

If you are that angry, you really should approach them and express your opinion. You may find it cleansing.

Hey, troll, quit perpetuating stuff with some outrageous opinion only to stir up a reaction. You're exactly what you accuse others of being.

What's with these young people who automatically equate old people with "creepy, random, weird" as though that's not a stupid prejudicial practice?

You ask "what's with": a non-question because your cojones are too shrivelled for you to just come out with your bile straight up.

Old guy hitting the gym? Way to go, Sir!

I do.

Unlike many, I have no problem speaking my mind. I ask weirdos wtf they are staring at, or if they have a problem.

I also make sure they get the f off equipment they are sleeping on. I also make sure to barge in if I need to use something that they’re trying to hog.

Old women are the same. Just this morning on the back extension I had to tell one to get the f off—back, front, both sides, for 10 mins straight until I physically stopped her to tell her to get the f off because there were already 3 of us using the machine when she cut in, and I knew that she knew. 70-yr-old total beeyotch. One girl who was using it was standing right beside her waiting, and the beeyotch knew it. I couldn’t stand it after 10 minutes and no end in sight.

She tried to claim innocence and I called complete bullshit and told her so. I had finished and she got on right after me, I knew that she knew exactly what she was doing, and because the other 2 I was using the machine with weee chicks, she thought that she could just walk over them, and she was right. Beeyotch.

Wtf is the matter with older people, it’s like they think that they have earned a license to be an a-hole. Same with a-hole lld guys who make sure to cop a feel of young women relatives during the holidays.

I would like the meathead women who walk around with 1 gallon water jugs to find a different gym. Same with triathletes who need to wrap hankies around there heads to make head bands . Quit trying to make yourself look like a pirate triathletes.

I would like to see an end to those trainers who walk around with "clients" and think they have priority over equipment due to their status. I would like to do away with those roped off areas of the gym that are reserved for said "clients" under a trainer's direction. And I'd like to see the equipment that is reserved only for them be put back into use by everyone.

I pay gym dues and that gym is there only because of me and others like me. Quit the class system. It's really annoying.

I saw Lori Loughlin at the USC gym and creeped her out by asking her how Aunt Becky will do in prison for 20 years.

I wear my 40-year-old gray cotton sweats to the gym and strip down to a speedo and muscle shirt and I run in Converse high-tops.

Eat it, Millennial punks and gen Z for zeros.
