or the latest craze?

Its all I see on my news feeds and twitter. People trying to sell juice plus,recommending veg and fruit smoothies, bringing out their own gymwear brands, checking in to the gym. I get the feeling some people seem to go to the gym to highlight it over social media. Occur with anyone else?

Sorry if SEB
 


Social media has enhanced how self-conscious people are in all facets of their life. Added to this, male body dysmorphia is at an all time high.
 
Fads come and go. Make a note of the people you see saying these things, it'll come in spells and other times they won't mention it.

What remains constant is us motherfuckers who get up and go out in the freezing cold and pissing wind and rain just to feel the cold of the iron on our callouses.
 
To an extent, but better than people just playing consoles all night
 
Majority of people these days are office based/service sector as opposed to hard manual jobs that out dads and grandads did...they were all to fucked to hit the gym after a days graft down the pit for example....
 
I reckon I'll have sacked my gym membership off by christmas like. :lol:

Still enjoyin it at the minute mind.
 
In the 25+ years i've been going to the gym i've seen many people come and go. I've had mates join in with me for a couple of months but then stop going. Ive seen bicep boys and lads that t-shirt train. But the one thing that has remained consistant is.....me!

Have you done many of the classes then mate? I noticed your other thread, wondered what the male/female ratio is like and which classes you've done?

I did a HITT class last Friday mate. Rocked up and joined the queue to go in, all lasses ranging from 18-25. :lol:

Thought "fuck it" al gan in anyway, felt like a right perve mind. Did the class and i was probablys the least fittest and co-ordinated person there (by a mile). Looked a right clip at the end n'arl. :oops:

Needless to say, i have my name down for next weeks class.

Thinking about joining just for the classes cos I'm not sure how much I'll run over the winter. Got no intention of being the only lad in classes though. How many different classes is there?
