i'm glad you touched on that subject.

according to my gf, women in the locker room do not waltz around naked. granted, that was when were were at the gym near our home in los angeles county, in the late evening, probably 10 pm or later. *i still saw plenty of naked dudes at that hour
now i'm working out right after 5 pm at a gym in orange county, right next to my office building, in a huge office park. and my gf does not work out here, so i have no insight as to how the women behave in the locker room.

i tried to be fair when i reviewed the gym (3/5 stars):
"this gym is not worth the $55/month i pay for it. there are other factors, like convenience, as to why i am a member here.

i do like that they have tons of pickup basketball games. the machines, weights, etc. are all average. the rock climbing wall is cool. the sauna, steam room, and hot tub are helpful.

one major complaint is all the naked dudes walking around the locker room, how hard is it to wrap a towel around yourself? seriously? i understand showering and changing clothes, but just waltzing around in the nude - no, put a towel on.

it's rarely overcrowded, i'm usually there between the hours of 5 pm and 8 pm.

also, i once ate lunch at the restaurant, it was solid c-grade."

You probably have a picture that shows that.

What's with all this public showering?

Gross.

Only time I've showered in a "public" place was when I lived in a dorm in college. Other than that, I prefer my own shower, thank you very much. Which is why i avoid working out before having to be somewhere.

I think it was a generational thing too. I play baseball and football in high school and no one EVER showered. I think (at least I did) everyone waited to go home. Where I work now, you can tell the people who grew up in which generation. There's the people like me who are looking straight down and the other people Captain Morganing it up with their droppy man-ness sitting on the benches. I mean that's fine if that's your thing, but I just refuse to talk to someone until I at least have some kind of clothes on.

They don't.

At least not at the gym I'm going to now (Planet Fitness). Although when I was a member of Ballys (Now LA Fitness), old Asian women would walk around naked after coming from the pool. They were like 60+ though. I dunno if that's anyone's thing. But... Yeah.

That happened.

I was hoping you chimed in but not the story I was hoping for.

Me and all my girlfriends walk around naked in the gym bathroom, comparing boobs.

Better?

And I bet you have sleep overs and pillow fights while wearing next to nothing.

A couple of general questions for the board:

a) Do you ever watch movies about gladiators?

b) Have you ever seen a grown man, naked?

c) Were you ever in a Turkish prison?

d) Do you hate the offseason as much as I do?

[los panda]

a) sure

b) every time i go to the gym

c) a good turk always walks to the right

d) yes

Saving you from yourself, FD. We know what comes next from your plethora of picture related faux pas.

Damn, just spat all over my screen.
