Any new-gym go'er/resolutioners?

Bueller?

I know the first few weeks of the year are always the biggest traffic time, and lots of commitments are made, goals set, yadda yadda yadda...

But please for the love of god spend the $5 for a lock if you have lock-able lockers. Nothing makes me want to rob you and set your shit on fire more than having to go through about 4 or 5 receptacles to find an empty, crap free place to store my shit while I hit the weights. I don't care if you want to stare at me for actually working out, or for the sweat I am generating... Just please lock your shit up so I don't waste my time in the stinky changing room trying to get my lift on.

Thank you!

Nope, that was my goal last year - and look at that, I STILL go to the gym this year

I don't like this time of the year at the gym... too many people.

Oh, and my gym has keys on each locker

I don't NEED a lock.

Ah do I look forward to the day every gym either has nothing or pre-locked storage.

Until then...

What happens if some prankster decides to take a whole bunch of those keys?

All the gyms I've been at were either bring your own, or monthly rentals

People do that at my gym they just leave a sweatshrt or jacket in a locker and dont put a lock on it. I will have to open 5 or 6 lockers to find an empty one to put my stuff in.

Our gym doesnt seem too crowded so far but I rareley go durring hte after work times so I dont see the huge influx.

Last year we switched gyms at new years to one that was clser to home so we were those pesky new years people, only problem is were still going

No I get it, I've run into "Mr.I forgot my lock" about once a month. Hell in the entire 5+ years I've been going I've forgotten it maybe 2 or 3 times when switching gym bags.

But now almost EVERY time I go to the gym, I have to open/shut almost every locker to find a free one which is about 4 to 5 times a week.

What's funny is they put up signs around that say "if it's left here over night, we're cutting the lock" and I told the manager take it down because it scares people into not even putting one on. Which I then asked if I could just keep the stuff in the locker "I choose" because finders keepers?

Sometimes I feel like moving all the stuff around, let em have some fun finding which locker I put the stuff in or just buy a few locks and thow em on there and see what happens.

Not a resolutioner and not a new gym goer. I quit my gym back in August because I didn't lik eit and could never really go.

So this year I bought a spin bike and am working out at home. Once the heavy snow is over I'll be back to running too.

We'll be looking forward to picks about May!!! j/k

I'm getting geared up to quit soda again! I'm knocking down about 5 or 6 cans daily and I'm finishing up the last couple packages of instant/pre cooked bacon I bought on sale (God I love that stuff!). I'm going to start doing some sit-ups and take the dog for longer walks. Not necessarily a New Years thing, more like I'm going to the beach, thing...

It's Lifetime Fitness - you have to put your membership card in the back of the lock for it to release the key.

Tye, I'd just start moving stuff around...
