Annoying Gym Behaviour - Mk2(?)

What relevance is it if the gym is a public place or not then? None, the entire discussion started with someone asking about the law, it framed the entire discussion including everything you said.

Nobody denied a gym couldn’t have rules. They can do what they want.

Pure nonsense from yourself now.

That doesn’t explain the relevance of if a gym is a public place or not. Nobody said they can’t have their own rules.

You’re making it up as you go along now. It’s just derailing the thread now.

Agree with the posts on people trying to use more than one piece of equipment at once. I have several people like that in my gym.
Some people are cool when you ask to work in but some seem entitled and think you are out of order for it.

Also agree with people standing too close to or using the dumbbell rack for exercise. I passive aggressively try walk between them and the rack occasionally to let them know they are blocking it off from people.

I often use the rack for benching. Most gyms purpose built for benching benches don’t have safety arms

Or the bench presses are just shite with terrible pin positions or too narrow etc

I use the safety rack all the time for bench and shoulder pressing!

It's not a squat rack it's just a rack it's multi purpose!

Is this the first example is recent memory of Dublin not winning a red card appeal?

Did they hire a cheaper barrister or what?

The entire discussion was whether it was a public spaces and this legal. The posts are there, multiple posters have agreed with me and pointed out your repeated pivots.

I’m happy to leave it at that.

There is a guy in my gym who holds onto two machines at the same time (throws a towel on one).

He's usual only there on one of the days I'm there but it's really starting to become an issue as he takes so long on one machine while the other is "on hold" I figured yesterday I could have got in two sets with a rest before he came back to the machine I wanted to use. I get that I just need to ask him if I can use it between his sets but this guy is huge and I'm not great at any type of confrontation…if he says no, is that it? Also, he leaves a huge towel on the machine so if you are cutting in where would you put it? If sharing a machine, is it a given that you change your own weight and not reset back to his?

It doesn't help that yesterday at the same time he was holding two machines there was a couple using two machines together, however the man was doing much more sets than the woman so she would sit on her machine till he was finished and then they would swap.

I still got what I need to do done but it was annoying.

If he tried to remove me, he would have been told where to go. If you walk away from a machine and leave nothing to mark you're using it, it's a free machine.
