Thanks to Steve over at Vomit Comet for sending me the Newsweek story that talks about the Nine Most Obnoxious Habits of Gym Rats. Anyway, just passing the link along to you guys. Take a look a obnoxious habit #3 and tell me that you wouldn’t smack the hell out of that guy […]

After working out at my new gym yesterday morning, I refrained from writing anything about it on the blog. I did this, mainly, because I wanted to have a second day under my belt before I began to write about my experiences. Some of you may remember the completely ridiculous experiences I had […]

The Daily Record ran a story this morning about the Headquarters Plaza Fitness Club abruptly shutting down in Morristown. This echoes the same out-of-the-blue closing of the Ocean Fitness Company - both gyms were owned by The Fitness Company, a group out of Holmdel.
There is something up with The Fitness Company organization. They […]

Happy New Year! First things first… It’s 2008 - can you believe it? It’s funny, I distinctly remember being a little kid and watching the ball drop to ring in 1986. But that was over 20 years ago in my family’s Manhattan apartment! Now on to the annual self-consuming resolutions!

For a […]

According to the Asbury Park Press, the Ocean Fitness Company closed their doors on October 3rd. This was news to some of the gym-goers (and to me) for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is their 20 years of continuous operations and the recent multi-million dollar renovations at the site. […]

The other day I was up in the Roxbury area so I stopped in at The Vitamin Shoppe that my younger brother works at to replenish my supply of “Ultimate Man” multivitamins. I like the Ultimate Man, No Iron blend because it is essentially the same mixture as GNC’s Mega Men multivitamins except it […]

The state legislature passed a budget yesterday that does away with the “healthy tax” that was ridiculously instituted last year in New Jersey. This tax imposed a monthly 7% surcharge on the cost of gym memberships. Some people thought that we should all shut up and be quiet about it because of various […]

For those of you who have been reading this blog for the last few years, I feel sorry for you. Ha ha! You may remember that I used to attend a gym in Ocean Township (I hate Ocean Township) where I was completely creeped out by some of the gym-goers and their gross […]

My alma mater had a really gross incident occur yesterday. In case you haven’t heard, a creepy old goof ball was arrested at Monmouth University yesterday for planting a video camera in the men’s locker room. What a filthy, disgusting scumbag this jerkoff was, huh?
There are so many issues here that it’s not […]

Since there aren’t really any crazy stories coming out of my gym visits any more (which is actually a nice change of pace), I don’t have much to say about my visit to the gym last night. The only odd thing about it was that I got there at 10:00pm which is about 10 […]

Tonight was a fun night at the gym. Finally, some weirdness to write about on my blog! It seemed to me that the requirement to be working out at Gold’s tonight was that you had to either have a mullet or a 1980’s metal band crazy hair style.
Actually, it was kind of funny […]

The other night I got an e-mail from my old gym to let me know that their pool and jacuzzi are finally installed and working. For some history, I joined this gym in November 2003 and had a great deal of success there due to a mix of cardio, weightlifting, and swimming. The […]
