Ladies Fitness Centers Knowledge Base
Why are ladies so upset about Cuts Fitness for Men? Why are some ladies groups upset about Cuts Fitness for Men, the men's only exercise center which is just like Curves for women only? I don't understand why this idea bothers women? Why is it okay for women to have the Curves exercise centers, but no okay for men to have Cuts Fitness for men?
Ladies, meeting/hooking up at the gym/fitness center? I belong to a local gym where there are lots of good-looking women that I'd like to meet but I personally think it seems kinda cheesy when guys try to hook up there. Do women think this is lame for us guys to do? Or do y'all like that?
Lady of America fitness center, free for teens????? I saw on their website starting June 1st thru Sep. 1st it is free if you're 13-19. I'm wondering, what does that include and if there are there any catches to it?? Thanks :) How much does it cost to beconme a member??? How much does it cost to become a member??? are the classes all included???
Gym Memberships? I would really like to go to a gym and work out, I'm not a huge fan of signing contracts (I'm not good at remembering to pay bills) and last night I went to a ladies fitness center who you had to sign a 3 yr contract and it's $70.48/month that is unlimited working out and tanning...which isn't bad except the contract, but they have 2 options with it you can put a freeze on your account if your not going to use it for a few months and it's transferrable....meaning you can transfer it to another person...How easy is it to transfer a membership like that? And I live in Tulsa Oklahoma if you could recommend a good fitness center.
Mens vs Ladies Restrooms at Work? I work in an office building on the first floor. In my area there is a fitness center with a mens and ladies locker room (and restrooms), there is a mens single hallway restroom, and there is a mens multi-user restroom down the hall. I am one of 3 females in the area of 14 other men. Which bathroom is the most appropriate to use? I can cut through the fitness center and use the ladies room there (and risk disturbing the exercisers) OR use the single mens room in the hall because that door locks? Is it illegal or improper to use the mens restroom since I can lock the door? I spoke to the facilities manager and he said no unisex bathroom there, only mens.
What would the women out there think if they saw a guy wearing pants and pantyhose (no socks) or with shorts? I am a married man and love to wear pantyhose. I don't get into wearing ladies clothes at all, just love weating pantyhose. My wife actually started me wearing them. She dared me to put a pair of her's on about 10 years ago, and I did. I loved how they felt and she loved how they looked? Years later, she got me to even shave my legs. I'll often wear them under jeans with no socks when we go out. On rare occassions, when we're away on trips, I've worn them with shorts. Mainly when we workout if hotel fitness centers and I've went bike riding while wearing them a few times. I've gotten second glances but never any comments. I think they actually look pretty goood on me, but then again, I LOVE seeing women's legs in them! I wonder what other women think if they notice me wearing them? I'm pretty athletic, I left 3 or 4 days per week, I run 3 days per week, so I'm not your typical pantyhose wearer!
a few exercise questions? I am going with a friend to Modern Lady Fitness Center for a wk as a trial period to see if I like it before I get a membership. I want to lose about 5-7 lbs by the summer, I want to feel better about myself, have a nice bikini body and well of course, look sexier for my husband =] I am 5'1 and weigh about 125lbs. I know it doesn't sound like a lot at all, but from eating out a LOT here lately and work 8-5 at call center, so not a lot of movement, I've gained weight! Most of my weight gain is in my stomach, legs and face. Many people say, "OMG you DONT need to lose weight!!" It makes me mad, they don't see me naked! I just want to get fit and lose a few lbs to feel better about myself. My friend and I are going to a pilates class tonight.. I'm not one for lifting weights and dieting, but what are some good exercies that will get me fit and lose my idea weight by may? I know if you work out and continue to work out, you can still eat whatever you want, instead of having to diet. I'm also the type of person that has to watch what they eat. If I don't, I gain weight. I am not blessed with a fast metabolism! whoaaa, 25lbs is WAY too much!! if i weigh 100 lbs, i will look anorexic. no, im fine with loosing at the most 7lbs. Thanks Hannibal.. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was just plain lazy, cause I am not. I mean I find other things to do besides exercise, but I am making myself get that membership and work out! I have a work out friend, so that way we motivate each other!
Are Malaysian shy lots? I have seen naked ladies walking around in the changing? room in a fitness centre, overseas , I have seen a Hongkong athletic walking in nude after the sport event in the bathroom in Port Dickson AND my hubby told me Malaysian men are very shy because everytime when he uses the public toilet, no men would stand side by side when using the little cubicle! They would choose the next one eg if there are 3 then the middle one would be left empty.. Is it true? For me, I cannot walk nakedly even in only women environment ..ya shy la.. Boss, you mentioned shy because of the size...um...you mean guys amongst guys would peeped each other to check on each other sizes too? OMG! CK, for the benefit to all answerers here and myself, could you ah..sorta of..explain more about your ah..body huh?
Ladies would you feel safe...? I live in Orlando, Florida in a gated apartment community. I don't think that the neighborhood being gated makes it 100% safe, but I do feel a lot safer than when I lived in a community without gates. Anyway, we have a 24 hour fitness center on property and I was wondering how late would you feel safe going to workout? I always get this burst of energy late night, but I've always been too scared to go workout alone after say, the 10pm hour.
For the ladies....? My girlfriend recently joined a fitness center. She is concerned because when she runs,she finds it causes her to urinate. Is that ever happened to anyone? What might be the cause? She is 26.
It seems many men like pantyhose (ladies who wear them or wearing them themselves) - what do women think? From what I see here on the web, it seems pantyhose are popular for men. I'm a 40 yr old married man - my wife asks me years ago to try on pantyhose for a joke (I think?) and she loved it. I also found that I did too. Since then, I've shaved my legs even. She likes the smoothness. I actually wear them under jeans with no socks and on occassion with shorts when we're out of town, typically when working out in hotel fitness center, jogging, or bicycling. I have no desire to wear dresses, high heels, etc. but love the look and feel of pantyhose when I wear them. I do not have an interest in men at all (yuk). I actually LOVE seeing WOMEN'S legs in pantyhose, epecially sheer suntan. I wonder why women don't wear them as often because they look sooo good! So what do you guys and women think about a 'normal' guy wearing pantyhose as a comfort and 'looks' choice? What if you saw a 'normal', athletic man with his wife and he was wearing pantyhose?
Hey ladies, where do you look for guys? It seems to me the best place for a woman to meet a great guy is the the unexpected. In the grocery store, church,library, home repair store,fitness center (not the free weights-but near the cardio machines)...it's obvious going to a club, party, etc. you are going to get what you get....someone looking for a little fun....maybe no substance behind it...what's your opinion?????????
what do you do if you are stuck on a contract with a gym? I love going to the gym and going 6 days p/week I get my monies worth but I was sick of the ladies gym I was at that was more like a mothers club as they chit chatted and hogged all the treadmills so I went to a new one that opened near by - mixed. I didn't get to look at it first as there was cheap memberships b4 they opened and I thought 'new' what have I got to loose. Turns out that it has plenty of weight equipment but nothing to offer, no spa, pool, sauna tanning, massage facilities or even comp. toiletries only 3 showers, small mirror and soap at the basin, at least the other fitness centres I went to they had some of the above but what gets me is that they're the most expensive!! What's worse is they gym is now loaded with 18 yr pretentious delusional guys that stare so bad and make noises at you when you are trying to work out. They bring girlfriends to follow them to each workstation while they watch. I feel I have been ripped off I hate it and want out. What should I do?
Any weird people at your GYM/FITNESS CENTER? so today i was doing my cardio and a lady came and went on the machine kinda of infront of me but everytime i looked up she was staring at me like STARING it was kinda awkard so then after 45mins i got off and went to do my other exercises so i was doing one that involved lifting my leg up like wayyy up and what do you know when i turned around she was right behind me so i had to do the other leg and she still was there like staringggg for the whole 10 minutes and she wasnt even doing her exercise she was just sitting there it was soo weird......well are there any weirdos/creepers at your gym?
Gyms in Sharjah? Can someone tell me some gyms/fitness centres near to where I live on the corniche at the Sharjah/Ajman border? I would like a gym that does fitness classes. I have tried the Sharjah Ladies Club but their classes start too early for me to attend after work I was hoping for someone to recommend a gym. I know how to do a Google search, but that does not produc anything fruitful or I would not be asking the question here ! Additionally, Google searches do not provide me with information on what the gym is like from a customers point of view
Why did my face twitch/face shake when I was with my friends ? I was with friends that I haven't hanged with in a long time. Then I seen a pretty lady that works at my fitness center, I felt like walking away completely, but I just wiped my eye, and pretended not to see her. I was nervous, but I don't want to be nervous to the point where, if anyone is paying attention, they can notice. Is a face twitch/shake noticeable to anyone else ? Why did it happen ? She is a very pretty lady, I haven't hanged with my friends in months, but WOW - me tensing up, and getting nervous is very strange, especially when I had no reason to be nervous. Any advice ?
How did you feel when you fell in love for the first time? Okay,lately I have fallen in love with a guy who's running a fitness center.He's always a bit stern when it comes to ladies,and that's the very reason I am hesitating to propose to him. How could I approach this iisue? http://i43.tinypic.com/2qv5yq1.jpg Your's loving JM,thanks... One of my buddies is going to prom with her boy friend and she says that I should invite this man so as to convey my love as well...
Women, who do you have to be? Hi Ladies, I'm conceptualizing an ad campaign for a women's fitness center. As part of the concept, i need to use words that describe the role a 30-50-year-old woman plays to her family/friends/colleagues. As a mere 19-year-old writer, I'm having some trouble coming up with these, so I'd appreciate some ideas on what YOU feel like on a daily basis. Mother Wife Chauffeur Daughter Chef and so on. Anything you'd like to share about how you feel would be most appreciated. =)
why are there FAT police officers on the streets if...? THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. i recently was driving by and i heard a lady scream out someone stole her purse and the FAT cop saw it and dropped his muffin or something and ran after him for like a block and stopped because he was tired. the thief got away. so why are FAT cops being hired if they can't run after suspects? shouldn't officers have fitness center's to go to?
how to impress a girl at the gym? at our school we go to the fitness center several times a week during our schools P.E. class and also after school i can go. and i know the guys i have that class with me all the better looking guys are stronger. i was thinking what exercises would make me seem like im doing more work than i actually am. at our fitness center we have dumbbells, bench press, several machines that work almost every part of your body, pretty much everything. but is their any exercise that although your not lifting as much as one of the stronger guys, you still look impressing to the ladies, i tried adding on more weights but i hurt my back doing that.
Is a deadbolt really enough protection? I've moved into an apartment where all the doors are unlocked to get in. So pretty much anyone and their mom can stroll the hallways, use the elevator, use the stairs, fitness center, and washing room, you get the picture. My boyfriend loves it because he doesn't like the hassle of security. Our apartment is 638 sq. feet, w/ a balcony 1 bed 1 bath, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, garbage disposal, our own heating and AC system, and only $525 a month. It's in a REALLY nice area close to downtown, which is why I moved there in the first place. The deadbolt on the door goes in about an inch, which is great, but my question is that really enough? Should I invest in a gun? I've used guns since I was 12, shooting clay pigeons, my dad raised me and taught me all gun safety. I wouldn't get a pistol since I feel more things can go wrong and I COULD miss, but I'm considering a shotgun. Would this be a good investment considering the situation? Also ladies how important do you think it is to learn self-defense? I've never taken any classes, but it's also been another thing on my mind. If so, what kind of martial art of course do you think is the best for defending yourself???? thorough answer really appriciated!
Women only, please! Would it have been rude of me? I was at our health spa fitness center 2-wks ago. I was working out and later sat in the sauna. I wanted to go swimming but I only had some black spandex. These are the type of spandex like soccer players wear and not quite like cyclists have. They are slightly transparent when stretched. Anyway, I checked the pool and didn't see anyone else (not many people use the pool by the way) so I decided to jump in. After swimming a few laps, two ladies came in and began swimming/wading around. One was much more well endowed than the other and wasn't exactly trying to hide it either. Being that it is a semi-heated pool, it wasn't very long and I had a huge erection. Very well endowed, but married...sorry(: (guys know why a cold pool would have made that difficult>lol) My wife popped her head in the door and said she was ready to go. The ladder is right next to where they stood. Would it have been rude to ask them politely to turn around while I got out? Especially since I don't even know them? I couldn't get the nerve to ask them, so I just got out and made a dash for my towel hanging on the chair. Like I said earlier, the spandex are semi-transparent and being wet was 10x as bad. Not to mention having "it" at full throttle and laying down the side of my thigh. Would you be more offended to see the erection or more offended if a stranger had politely asked you to turn your back while he exited. (FYI-I made sure and wait til' my wife left before I dared get out, or I wouldn't be alive to type this. LMAO!) I'm sorry...i didn't realize that I didn't mention that they DID see it! That's what made this story embarrassing. They didn't say anything to me, they just stared.
Does this dude at the gym like me? I went to this fitness center to find out about their prices because i wanna work out. Well anyways this young trainer comes to give me a tour around the whole gym/club and as he is showing me around he is also flirting with me, askin questions about myself etc. He seemed very confident in what he does. We would laugh I'd throw jokes on him he'd make fun of me etc. Then we went into the office so he can show me the prices, but since I'm new with joining gyms and having a membership I just didn't want to jump into something I told him I'll let him know the next time I come. He kept insisting I joining and hoped to see me working out at the gym. He also showed me of a pic of him when he was overweight like there was a HUGE difference from how he looked before and how he looks now. He looks hot now.. so I said nice, now you must have a lot of ladies just to j/k with him and he was like nahhh and shying away, sayin he's still that same person and whatever. He kept starin at me in this weird way and was tryin to spend as much time with me. He asked if I had colored my hair because it was in a twisted bun lol but my real color was darker than the other half of my hair... Then when I was leaving because I told him I will let him know if I wanted to join, another time, he shook my hand twice and asked if my number was in the sheet that I had to fill out, so I j/k why you want my number? and he was like yeaaaa of course so i can "check up" to see if you will come or not.. and I'm ok sure lolz and left. So we spoke, he called and left his cell number sayin he wanted to know if I was coming by and once I just called to say whats up and he didn't call but after a week and said he was busy and sorry that he wasn't able to call and talked normal. He still wants me to come by... So is he just using sales tactics or maybe he's just interested in me in some way???? how would I know... one of these days i will be stopping by. But i dont want to join the gym maybe just to say hi! Thanks.

What am I doing wrong? I am laid back guy. I have been out of a relationship for about a year now. I spent a lot of time with school last year and I did not get out and do much except going to the library, classes and a fitness center. I am about 6'5" and about 285, and I like to play sports and what not and I am pretty fit. I am back in to finding someone that I can spend sometime and we can feeling together. I am a little rusty at seeing the signs of a lady flirting with and a good way to ask a lady out that I really like right now. In the pass year, I have been asking some gals out and they have been turning me down and saying "you are to nice" or "i'll like to be just friends". I am begging any one out there to help me? am so lonely right now, I am the only one in my friends that is single and I am not liking it, I feel alone.
How long should it take me to lose 75 pounds? I started weight watchers 2 days ago. Other than I feel weak and like I am starving, I am keeping within my 33 points and not drinking pop or slugging down a bunch of junk food. My goal is to be down at least 40 lbs before the weather gets hot. I am having a hard time exersizing because its soo cold here. I live very rural and there isnt a fitness center nearby. I am almost convinced I need to buy a treadmill or some other type exersize machine. I am not fat and lazy. I work full time as a nurse, but the weight has just gotten so totally away from me. I am inspired by a 617 lb lady who died at 49 just because she was so fat her body fizzled out. It broke my heart. I dont want to be misreable fat. I am very motivated. Can you tell me what is the best thing to do to get this weight off? I have lost weight before, but for some reason, I cannot seem to keep my weight down. I think I must be like Oprah. We are in this together.
Same co-worker,, different issue...? I try to be understand...I try to ignore.. I try to just nod my head and leave it be. BUT there are times I just want to scream at her.. I work the front desk of a hotel.. I have done this type of job for OVER 10 years.. SHE on the other hand have NEVER worked a front desk, NOR does she work the front desk at the job I am at right now.. She is our breakfast lady.. A very important job..I know... I try to think it is because she has been at this job for 4 years and I have only bee here 4 months..MINE you , the manager FOUND me at a different hotel and offered me more money to come HERE.. This co-worker seems to think it is her job to "remind' me how to do mine.. From asking if I check that guest out right, when they had me there keys to reminding me EVERY morning "did you unlock the fitness center".. OMG!!.. some times it is the same things she will remind me every morning, those I can ignore, but there are times she will tell me things that I am doing and doing wrong..I tell her I am doing this or that right and I get the LOOK, like I am a little child and she is the mom.. I don't care that she is older then me This is NOT cause she is just being helpful. Trust me.. HELP... HELP.... HELP.. How do I deal with her.. she is not doing anything that I can go to our manager about. she is just making me crazy..
Cheated with a married woman. Can I lose my job? I’m a personal trainer at this fitness center. I have been personal training this older but very beautiful woman for some time now. She’s married to some physician... But anyway, about a week ago, when I tried leaving work I was having some car trouble. The lady happened to be leaving when I was so she offered me a ride back to my apartment. Anyway, I ended up inviting her up for dinner as a way of thanking her for the ride. We ended up chatting for a few hours and drinking... And then things went south and we ended up having sex… Now, things have been getting really weird. Whenever I am at work, I always catch her husband staring at me a lot. I pretend not to notice but the man is always mad dogging me. And yesterday, when I was sitting outside my apartment, I saw her husband drive by my place three times. I have a feeling that the husband knows I slept with his wife… How should I handle the situation? I spoke to the wife yesterday and she said that she didn't say anything to her husband about it.... Do you guys think i'm just being paranoid? I know I’m wrong for having sex with her, but I couldn’t control my urges. Can I lose my job over this stuff?
Have you done anything nice for a stranger? please read!? Yesterday i was walking past a fitness center only to find a women sitting outside the doorstep crying her eyes out. So i asked "Whats wrong?" She replied "It's just so hard to lose all this weight" she swiped her tears then said "I try so hard and i really want to lose all this fat" She was big fat lady with no friends. I then felt sorry for the porky women and pulled a chocolate bar out of my pocket and slowly held it towards her pig nose. While tears dripped on top of the chocolate wrapping she groaned and said "I don't want to go back to lazy fat women". But i could see her eyes light up at the sight of chocolate so i said softly "Go on take a bite it wont hurt you like those big bad machines" She sniffed wiped the tears from her eyes and bit into the chocolate while eating she groaned and sobbed. I stroked her hair and said gently "There you go not so hard now was it pig".
I am starting to lose weight I need positive support only? I do not want to have lap band or gastric surgery. I am making a life style change with everything I will do this on my own and YES I SEE A DOCTOR.. I have arthritis and High blood pressure. I am aware it it going to be a long process and hard work. I am up for the challange. I need to know how to start walking I live in a winter state in which we have snow. Do you think mall walking is good? I do not have extra money for fitness center memberships. I am doing good with my food choices it has been many, many many year of bad food choices and eating on the run with all my travels and working. I am SICK of the weight, I never had problem with crule fat jokes but I get the comment all the time you are such a pretty girl or NOW you are such a pretty lady you just need to loose weight. I have been with my boyfriend Many, Many years who love me but DO NOT want me to lose weight He need to loose a few pound too but is in Iraq in the military
Is this really tacky? (details inside)? I work in the childcare department at this big community center that also offers a gym, weight room, pool, fitness classes, etc. Since I'm part-time (also going to college), I'm not eligible for the membership discount to use the other facilities. Anyways, two months ago, my boyfriend and I decided we should get a membership anyways to work out. It costs $50/month for the both of us. There is a year "lease" that we agreed to. Well, I just got this really great offer to do taekwondo somewhere else at a cheap price but that leaves no time to work out and we're a little tight on money right now. At the community center, they have a policy that they will not turn away anyone if they can't afford it. Would it be tacky to go in and tell them that we can't afford it and we don't have time like we thought we would? I wouldn't ask them for a free membership but just to cancel the one we have. Is it really tacky, especially since I work there? Also, the fitness lady told me to come to some classes and eventually I might be able to teach some. I paid like $150 to get group fitness certified, asked her about classes and she kind of blew me off and told me to try the teen department which she has nothing to do with. Should I mention that to the membership lady? What would you do in this situation?

what do you think of this "parent"? I teach a kids karate class- never in any of m websites or pamplets does it say I take special needs children. (I plan to be able to at some point when I can get another class going) Well a mom dropped of her 2 kids and she apologized but said she had to run. One of my instructors pointed out that one kid had some serious mental retardation. Then we realized the boy was practicaly nonverbal he was 5. Well then mom comes in takes the boy home- with oh yeah he is autistic he is a bit of a handful we'll try again next week. and does she tell this to me no she tells this to the 16 year old girl I had working with him. (the 16 year old girl is a peer tutor at school and works with kids all over the autism spectrum as well as other disabilities ). The 16 year old girl passed on the info to me- the mother never said ANYTHING! Parents would you ever even for a moment leave your special needs kid with complete strangers! And not even tell them your child is special needs. I can understand somethings you can leave out but not autism- it was just rather sad the boy was so gone he was more of a shell of child then an actual boy. But can you say ireesponsible, endangering the wellfare of a child. I have half a mind to report this lady to cps. I can understand being in a hurry, and I can understand worrying I wouldn't take her son- but dumping him and leaving him- it seemed like practically child abandonment. I for one know how stressful it can be my nephew has high functioning autism and I know everyone needs a break but we work in a fitness club and we have a childcare center that take and properly care for all children including those with special needs. But Who knows what else she does. but what do you do when you meet parents like this?
Cheated with a married woman. Can I lose my job? I’m a 24 year old personal trainer at this fitness center. I have been personal training this older but very beautiful woman (she’s 32) for some time now. She’s married to some medical doctor... But anyway, about a week ago, when I tried leaving work I was having some car trouble. The lady happened to be leaving when I was so she offered me a ride back to my apartment. Anyway, I ended up inviting her up for dinner as a way of thanking her for the ride. We ended up chatting for a few hours or so…. And then things went south and we ended up having sex… Now, things have been getting really weird. Whenever I am at work, I always catch her husband staring at me a lot. I pretend not to notice but the man is always mad dogging. And yesterday, when I was sitting outside my apartment, I saw her husband drive by my place three times. I have a feeling that the husband knows I slept with his wife… How should I handle the situation? I spoke to the woman yesterday at she said that she didn't say anything to her husband about it.... Do you guys think i'm just being paranoid? Look, I I’m wrong for giving in to my temptations, but I couldn’t control my urges. Can I lose my job over this stuff?

Now I’m afraid I’m going to lose my job over this sh**it. I seriously don't need anymore drama in my life at this point.... And I'm not 32, she is. I'm 24.
