Men fighting in the gym

[IceLace100]

Just went to my local Pure gym. I was running a 5k when an argument turned into a fight at the weights machines.

15-20 men in their teens 20s and 30s.

Squaring off, shouting, people pushing and shoving and escalating to punching, some people holding others back etc etc.

I alerted all the people in a world of their own with headphones on then left, along with the majority of other people, (ALL the women left).

Question 1:
Why oh why do some men utterly fail to behave themselves in public spaces??? What the actual fuck is wrong with them. I just don't get it.

I mean, I was just trying to quietly run my 5k ffs.

I'm so fucked off. Since lockdown eased, I have joined 2 gyms. First gym a man shot another man right outside the entrance of it. I turned up one day to police vans and tape. So I stopped my membership and moved to puregym. Now there has been a fight there- is nowhere safe from male violence?

Question 2:
Shall I move gyms AGAIN and inconvenience myself by travelling further because of male violence? On one hand why the fuck should I have to? On the other hard, I want to be safe.

For those of you thinking I should complain to pure gym, oh you worry, I have!

I have never witnessed anything like this on any gym.
I would cancel my membership and tell them why.
Is this the chain that are not staffed? The cheap ones?
No way in hell would I go there.
That is so dangerous, you could easily kill someone’s with weights.
I’ve joined my council run gym, it’s fantastic. I can go to several sites, always fully staffed, nice atmosphere. Not as cheap as Puregym but that’s fine.
No excuse for that type of behaviour at all.

If you don't enjoy my posts then don't read them.

I don't think it's on to tell people how to express themselves on MN

Spamming implies I am intentionally doing something to fuck other people off.

If you think I'm a troll report me.
