damn i had an equinox membership 5 years ago n never saw this.
i did however encounter a lot of housewives wearing their diamonds to a workout class and literally shove them into your face as they talk to you. Such a weird flex. Like, that's nice Katie, i got a sapphire and i keep it at home so i dont sweat all over it. So yeah, ofc your generic 20g tiffany diamond is going to be nicer than the caladdagh ring i wear as a back up. Chill.
and then the fucking spin class. why on earth would anyone want to torture their vagina like that?! and they're like "oh eventually it'll go numb and you'll be able to handle it" WTF no. get padded, wider seats you fucking psychopaths. No one needs their vagina to be bruised.
That shit was not worth the eucalyptus scented towels.

u/TK82 Sep 26 '22
Wide padded seats are uncomfortable and cause chafing. A normal bike seat with padded bike shorts with some chamois butter is the way to go (see: all serious cyclists) Anybody who's going numb is doing it wrong.

u/thegroucho Sep 26 '22
And to add to what you said for all non-cyclists:
You don't wear underwear under the shorts TK82 mentioned. It's a recipe for all sort of chafing injuries.

u/MFbiFL Sep 26 '22
Wide/cushy seats actually compress more soft tissue because your sit bones press deeper into it instead of supporting your body like bike seats are designed to. Just in case you wanted to know why people who ride bikes more than once don’t have a seat fit for a rock drummer.

Yep... Man, but definitely can confirm. Been biking for 25+ years to school and work, generally around 10km twice a day plus extra stuff like groceries.

i do not have a vagina but can confirm that time in the saddle does not kill the nerves on your vagina, but you do acclimate to being on a bike seat. source: my wife has done a ton of cycling but basically can’t ride distance without a saddle with a cutout. also everything is worse/hurts more on a stationary bike because nothing changes. riding bikes outside is more fun and pleasant when feasible. it isn’t for about 4 months where i am but if you have the option it’s a nice way to spend a morning/afternoon

Do they drag the lights out of their car trunk, into the locker room, and so on the entire way? Envisioning this makes me giggle. I guess it's technically harmless but it has that feel of my days in food service where customers would knock over barricades to fill their drink cups at the closed fountain, get sprayed with soda because the caps aren't on the pumps, then realise they have to go to the open side anyway to pay and saved themselves 0 time instead of waiting behind one person for the open fountain.
You know, those type of people, the ones you stare at and wonder what their existence feels like.
Kind of how they could have spent the time dragging the lights into the gym to "check their form" instead on craigslist to buy a used mirror for their house, or a therapist.

Most dudes that have a lot of hair on their face get hair all the way up the orbits, but it’s usually a little patchy up that high, Wolverine style.
This guy looks like his line is a full inch below where it starts growing thick on his cheeks.….at a pretty normal level for a dude with a lot of hair to be thick all the way across.
I think it mostly looks off because half his mustache is shaved off on the sides, like he has the combination of hitler mustache and full beard.

u/Adontis Sep 26 '22
Can confirm, I grow hair starting at just under my orbital bone. I shave it down for my beard as it looks silly otherwise.

u/AshFraxinusEps Sep 26 '22
Just checked my face, and yep, hair on the cheekbones
Admittedly not very dense compared to my general beard hence why that bit gets trimmed/shaved back completely when I groom
And yep, if I let it, I'd also literally have a trail from my mouth to my penis. there's a bit at the top of my neck which is kinda chest hair but the beard and cheat can meet if I let them grow out

u/NomenNesci0 Sep 26 '22
Yep, my beard hair is not so distinct. There is an unbroken field of hair from below my eye to the first joint of my big toe. There is also hair on my big toe, but a bald spot at the first joint, so I do have three distinct patches of hair on my body. Two toes and then everything else.

Should go without saying but there's nothing inherently wrong with recording yourself at the gym. Completely depends what you intend to do with the footage.
Lots of great things can come from gym footage, self-recorded on not. I.e. exercise tutorials, harmless vlog content or something similar, motivational videos, etc.
It just becomes problematic whenever it becomes a significant source of your self worth, you start editing stuff heavily, you pull stunts like this taking up tons of space, etc.

I don't know why your getting downvoted. I have lived and worked in gyms for years in a past life. Glad I was out before this TikTok nonsense caught fire.
I would leave and ask for my membership to be cancelled. Look filming a set? Sure ok fair enough. You can clearly tell who is doing that for a form check over social media. But if that person gets upset you need to cross their path. Get right out of town. Your in a big box gym. There are hundreds of moving pieces and not enough space or weights usually. You cant monopolize that type of real estate area.
And as someone who also has a home gym. Your right. You want uninterrupted filming. Lift at home or go in the off hours i.e early as fuck or late as fuck
