Whats your gym demographic like

[nightprowler7]

I've had a home gym for a long time, I started going to a public gym a few months ago.


My gym is I'd say,

40% serious lifters
30% gay guys cruising
20% women doing cardio
10% teenagers listing to music or taking pictures of themselves

All depends on where I go. We have gyms that look like dungeons filled with fat people with elite totals. We have gyms that are Instagram worthy filled with amazing thots and a high number of competitors. We have gyms that are basically all competitors. We have gyms that people go to just to say they go to this elusive gym. We have the classic planet fitness types.


All gyms are gonna be different.

The gym I currently go to is wild though. I’ve seen a baby there. I’ve seen someone get naked and tan right next to the hack squat. I’ve also seen a truck worked on right next to the cardio station. Very weird gym

Hell the other day I saw a shirtless dude CLEARLY cracked out on stans dragons blood eat Turkey and rice while riding a spin bike. Fucking wild man

 

[Iamnatty]

Anywhere I go now there’s always young kids wearing daisy duke shorts. It’s the weirdest fucking thing to me. These kids are different now then when I was a kid lol

Op consider yourself lucky. In my gym i doubt there's more than 10% of serious lifter. There are many guys around 50yo who don't have anything better to spare there time, they come and argue loud every fakin time for football or politics.

The rest are broccoli head teens who don't know the basics, they look like toothpicks and they focus on isolation movements and flexing in the mirror their nonexistent muscles.

Lately i go there with no motivation to train, i'm starting to worry if gear makes me even more introvert than i already was. I've trained to other gyms in my town and it was the same shit. No gymrats, no gearheads, no serious lifters, no fancy chicks..it's just sad.

30% serious lifters
20% dont know if male or female skinny kids on the phone (possible gay males)
20% proper females knowing what they're doing
20% 16 years old would bang 10/10s girls doing hip thrusts
10% old motherfuckers scanning 20% females doing hip thrusts

Depends on the time of day i go in. People hitting the gym before work are middle aged. later afternoon is older then middle of the day or later in the day. This year cardio is back in style. The last few not so much as women with big butts were the trend. leaner seems more of the in thing this year.

Seems i am in the 10% old motherfuckers category. But i am just checking out their form as most do not seem to execute the full range of motion and miss that last part of the movement and are just shoving as much weight as they can, just Ike the guys do on most of their movements !

Two gyms. One with better equipment is :
5% serious lifters dealing roids to:
75% 18-23 yo serious lifters who dont have any idea what theyre getting into, but when theyre not saying dumb shit too loud and looking in the mirror actually workout hard.
3% middle age women
3% old women
1% some old fucker who does half ass shit on the cables and when I tell him to do it correctly I have to hear about his numerous injuries and how he just "needs movement" as he gloms on to me as the next oldest guy there even though im 20 years younger than him. He asks "why get big? Do something IN LIFE that's big" and I run away hoping his oldness doesn't rub off on me.
10% hot young chicks doing lower body workouts
2% dipshits
1% two dudes in their 60s. One is bald ass hell with long red hair on the back and sides. Not in particularly great shape. He has convinced this short old guy that he is a personal trainer. He struts around with what he calls "my guy"(the short old guy with rec-specs on) and clears people away from certain areas to work out his "guy". Red is just fleecing this guy mostly as he has him do things like "walk to the doorway and back five times" and "sit down and lift your legs up". I don't call him out because nothing he has the guy do is bad for him(except taking the dupes money) and they look like they're enjoying the time at the gymnasium.

I go to an “old school” gym. Lots of older machines they don’t make anymore and iron weights. Super friendly vibes and tons of old dudes.

When I go in the early afternoon it’s usually like 50% dads who are definitely on TRT and a bunch of older ladies. Got a few bodybuilders of each sex. Good amount of powerlifters. Then there’s always the handful of random newbies with tripods and shit.

When I go at nighttime it’s the more obnoxious crowd- college kids, wannabe influencers, and SARM goblins. But there’s still guaranteed to be some legit athletes in there.

There’s a few things I wish they’d update but overall it’s a lot better than commercial gyms. I just don’t want them to cling onto the “old school” feel TOO hard and keep inferior equipment because of the aesthetic.

Kind of hard to assign %s

But I go to a standard commercial gym, so you kind of get the full variety of ages and demographics

-the older grey hair crowd that you see there everyday that are serious about their health. Some that go there to mostly socialize.
-the younger brocoli head teenagers in tank tops with noodle arms
-the half naked chicks in Nike pros, and spandex
-small segment of serious bodybuilders and powerlifters

The time of day I go usually influences the type of demographic you see too.

Early morning like 4-6am you'll see a lot of the die hards, later morning/afternoon I find to be more of the older crowd, with some of the half naked chicks sprinkled in. The evening is a lot of brocoli heads clogging the benches, so I try to avoid this time slot at all costs

I kind of like the 4-6am crowd personally. They're usually there with a purpose, and not messing around, time efficient with what they do. You also usually see the same people at the same times, as people are creatures of habit (myself included)

If you have time to see what’s everybody doing And criticize you ain’t training like a men.

Sounds like a great home gym!

 

[RyGuy92]

My gym after 4pm is 80% broccoli bros
Anything before then is a solid split of gym bros decent community and people who have no clue what they are doing all and all solid gym

Oh an a solid mixture of gym
Thots with next to nothing on most of the time

Solid gym.

Happiness is a home gym. Truly. It's a goal to aspire to and one that I achieved several years ago. No more assholes (just myself). No more waiting. No more stares. Just a space populated with all my favorite machines and free weights, ready at a moments notice, where I play MY music as loud as I want, and wear what I want to wear, grunt as loud as I want to, fart if needed, take my shirt off and pose in my mirror with a pump on and where I can rack my plates if I want to....or not.

I work out at the gym in my apartment complex during the week. 40% old dudes who don't know what they're doing. 20% women who basically do cardio and maybe goblet squats and leg extensions (while playing on their phones). 15% young skinny guys with no clue. One drops his 25lb dumbbells aggressively after each set. I've told him it's against the rules and the floor doesn't even have proper gym mats (just these really thin ones).

Maybe 5% of guys know what they're doing. Everyone else just kinda wings it and I see some stuff that makes me worry for people's safety.

I also have a weekend-only gym membership at a place that caters to finance bros (investment bank right upstairs). Today's the first time I've been early enough on a Saturday to see the finance guys. A few of the guys at the gym know what they're doing, but most don't and are just winging it with no real programming. The gym is super empty at weekends though so it's a great deal and pretty well equipped.

I have a new gym that is generally empty, but I got one of these noisy guys.....younger, capable of moving up to big boy weights, but sets a bench up in sitting position and does flys with 15lbs on each side of the cables and lets them slam down every time. I was downstairs using the heavy bag and came up to see what the Hell was going on. Its an announcement for idiots. "IM USING THE GYM....HARD!!" Very annoying and pointless

There was an old guy doing that with standing cable flys this week at the building gym. And yeah it's annoying. Makes me smirk and shake my head.

Oh, saw a guy at the investment bank bro gym doing that yesterday on a Hammer Strength plate-loaded incline press. 35lbs a side. Was racking 70s next to him and SLAM!

 

[Benf15harp]

On the rare occasion I do go to a public gym
It’s always girls in converse with high socks, the big beats headphones and Nike pro shorts with a big tshirt.
I don’t get the appeal of this look.
The rest of the people I don’t notice.

If you get a pump and no one’s around to see it, did it actually even happen?

Doesn’t everyone livestream from their home gyms these days?
