As a currently unfit person…

There a few things more annoying than having your ass pulled off a piece of gym equipment and told to go back to your apartment for using the facilities you pay for that are meant to be able to be used 24 hours a day at 1AM just because some Karen complains.

Like the amount of motivation you need to get out there and do it is significant, and for a person who chose to pay 25% less rent because being on the gym level is noisy to complain does my head in. Covid did my weight no favours and I’m trying to fix that while I’m still young enough to get away with it but man it’s frustrating sometimes.

lol can't believe that's my 20k post but yep... thing is though, 1AM is late no doubt but treadmill on a rubberised anti-shock floor, 60m away from two heavy soundproof doors, apparently it wasn't even noise but "vibrations of my footsteps" like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park

Pick her up in your teeth and throw her through the roof of a public toilet, decorated in a tropical tikki theme?

Well, advertised as 24hrs a day, assuming no one would ever actually hold them to that.

Congrats from here also.

...and good luck on the getting fit project. Good that you started, it's not easy and Karen's make it harder.

Make it a routine I say, at least 3x a week @ 1am if it is a 24hr facility. Rules are rules after all, we don’t get to pick the ones we like. 😜

Don't let them get you down. Exercise is important but it is a huge mistake to think you can eat what you want if you exercise. Generally speaking, most of us over eat and plenty of people who exercise regularly over estimate the amount of food they need to compensate for exercise. I bet if you cut your portion size in half you would lose weight very quickly.Or even better, weigh your portions. 100g of carbs and 200g of what ever else you are having and the weight will fly off you. If you are hungry drink fluids and eat something protein rich. Protein is very filling. Even protein drinks are a good option. Good luck with your exercise, next time just punch Karen in the willy and tell her to bugger off.

If you want additional motivation, we can help.
Put up your BEFORE photo here, we’ll happily body shame you…for your own good. My wife is very good at it.

If you start at 11:55 pm you’d do two workouts a day.

Am I the only person who noticed that the onset of the obesity epidemic coincided with negative terms like "body shaming"? People were only trying to help!

I know that it's not equivalent to a full gym, but these things are great, and quiet:

Yes they are great & they are nice looking too !
I've got one - standing vertically - decorating my room for the last 7 years 😀

Yes, that's the "extra quiet" mode. 😁

F@ck Karen and keep up exercising 👍.
18 days in a row is interesting strategy, how do you rest/regenerate? and is it easy to you to fall asleep after the workout at 1am?

@dsio, demand a monthly discount on your rent based on what ACTUAL hours the gym is open.
