I used to live somewhere with a local chain of 24 hour gyms. I got a membership discount there from my job. It was really nice to be able to go to the gym after work when I worked 4pm to midnight, and to be able to afford such a swank gym to begin with. Never encountered anything strange at all there in the three years I went. Hell, I hardly encountered any other people. It was just a normal, really nice gym with way, way less people and no classes going on. Extremely off-peak hours are the best gym hours.

I got back from the gym after midnight tonight.

This has become a disturbingly common occurrence for me.

it was almost midnight, how dare they come in sneaking around like that, trying to give me a heart attack! I set my face hard, and walked through, preparing to give Marie, or whoever it was, a piece of my mind.

The lights in the gym were off, but I could see movement over near the gymnastics equipment, someone swinging back and forth on the parallel bars. It was a smooth, rhythmic motion, down and around and up and over, around and over, up and down. Sometimes the movement flew up, releasing the bars for a moment, before deftly catching them on the way down. There was no sound as I got closer, apart from the faint slap of hands gripping and releasing the wood of the beams. If it was Marie, I’d never seen her doing anything like this before. I walked over, and turned on the overhead lights.

It was not Marie, swinging round and about on the bars. Marie only had two arms. Marie had legs. And Marie had a head. The thing that swung and flipped and twirled around the bars was nothing like Marie, though its flesh looked human enough. It did have a smile, though, stitched… right in the centre of its torso.

Lunk in training



Lifting with your kids is awesome. I have a set of medicine balls just so my girls can do strongman with me and lift those while I lift stones.



I have also trained them to get me chalk and my 5 year old knows how to call 911 if I drop all my weights on myself

There was a 24 hour gym near my parents and it was great when I worked nights or early mornings. I once got up at 2am to go to the gym for 2:30 and get to work for 4:30. I'd seldom see anybody and when I did they were usually just leaving or arriving after I was leaving.

I will legit just drive home all the way from the gym just to get my earbuds if I forget them. And my gym actually has pretty decent ambient radio music, but still, gently caress that poo poo. I will lunk out if I don't 'ave me chunes.

My shoulder is still kinda hosed up and I was doing straight-arm pulldowns with my right arm and I could only do 10 lb. I slapped 5 more lbs on and it wouldn't budge :negative:. I can OHP 140 lb but that 15 lb pulldown bested me
