Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello, hello.
Um, I'm a little... I'm pissed about something.
Oh, about what?
Every month, I get pissed about something, right?
Oh, okay. Every month.
Yeah, like the Shiromono Kaden little shit.
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or like whatever, right? The Sentaki.
Yeah.
Uh, this week, I'm pissed about, um...
This month, I'm pissed about, um...
ジムでの悪い習慣
The gym.
The gym?
Yes, the gym.
You go to the gym, too.
Yeah, I do, I do.
I'm hoping that you would agree with me.
Okay, um...
So, every time I go to the gym, I see three to five people
that are just sitting in the machine looking at videos.
Oh, looking at videos?
Yeah, looking at their smartphones, doing shit, you know?
Oh.
And they're just sitting there.
They don't train them?
Well, they train every, like, every 10 minutes, right?
They would do, like, a set.
Okay.
And then they would just sit there for, like, five to 10 minutes.
Wow, okay.
Well, and then they just go back doing their fucking shit, right?
They do that three or four times, and they move to a different machine.
Yeah.
And they would do the same thing.
They would just sit and chill.
Okay.
They would just Netflix.
Oh.
That's just, I don't know.
I don't think that's a very good practice of the gym.
Yeah.
What do you think about that?
Well, I do.
I completely agree with that.
I don't like them.
Okay.
Your reaction told me that you've never seen anyone like that.
Um, yeah, actually.
Really?
We go to the same franchise.
Yeah, yeah, I do.
Really?
You've never seen them?
I see it every time I go to a gym.
Really?
Every time.
In any gym I go to.
Wow.
Those guys are there in every gym.
Really?
Yeah.
Especially the, not those free weights, but the machine.
They're always in the machine sections.
I see.
Yeah.
Well, I guess that, well, I go to the freeway sections all the time.
So I don't actually see those like machine sections.
That's why I guess.
Yeah.
Take a look at the machine section this time.
There's always going to be at least two guys that are just sitting there.
Just watching videos or something.
Yeah.
Wow.
I don't think that's a very respectful way of using.
Not at all.
Those machines.
Right.
Well, I mean, the gym people should mention it.
Yeah.
やるべきトレーニングの仕方
Should say something to them.
Like.
Right.
Have to like teach them how to train.
Right.
Because there are so many people like that.
I thought they were actually doing something.
Like I thought they were like deliberately taking rest.
Well, yeah.
They could do a full set and then deliberately wait for five minutes for the muscle to do
whatever it needs to do and then go back to doing their sets.
I thought that's what they're doing because so many people are doing it and none of those
employees are checking up on them.
So that's what I thought.
But.
Well, I mean, rest is important.
I agree with that.
ジムのマシンを使えない状況
Yeah.
Yeah.
Five minutes is too long.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One minute, two minutes is enough.
So yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so because of that, you can't use the machines, right?
Yeah.
Once every like three gym goes that I can't use the machine that I want to.
I just have to use some other ones until they're done with the video.
Wow.
Right.
Well, that's bad.
That's pretty bad, right?
Those are bad manners, right?
Yeah.
And also it says like.
Right.
Right.
Yes.
But that's on the freeweights.
Freeweights, it says it, but it doesn't say it on the machines.
It doesn't know.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
It doesn't say.
Because it's always the freeweights that are crowded.
That's why they have to write the 20 minute rule so that everyone can, you know.
Freeweights, the machines, they're always not crowded, right?
I see.
So that's why they're not like pushed.
Right.
By nobody.
I guess that's why.
And they can kind of start chilling.
I guess that's why.
Wow.
But that's been bothering me for a while.
Like, well, that's not good manners.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So I just wanted to get your thoughts on it.
Yeah, I agree with that.
And it's difficult to say to those people, like, if you don't use the machines, can you move and
like go away somewhere?
That's difficult to say.
That is difficult to say.
Yeah.
I was just like, oh, I'm just taking rest time and, oh, okay.
Right, that's true.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
マシンの消毒方法についての意見交換
How about after you use the machines, you know, we have to alcohol wipe the thing, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How thoroughly do you do it?
What do you mean?
Like, how thoroughly do you wipe the machines?
Like, do you only do the, do you only wipe the places that you touched?
Or do you go through the whole machine?
Or like, or do you just do one push onto the cloth and then wipe the whole thing?
Or do you spray it directly on the machine?
And I think there's different ways of doing it.
I see a lot of people doing it differently.
Okay.
How do you do it?
What I do is, so I push like two, three to my paper.
Yeah.
And then I wipe, well, basically where I touched.
Like not whole, every part.
Yeah.
So like the chair side or like the leg, you know, like a little sponge thing.
Yeah, the sponge thing that your body touches.
Like the handle.
Handles and everything like those places.
Yeah, that's what I do when I use machines.
Yeah, that's kind of exactly the same as how I do it.
Oh, yeah.
But I've never seen any guidelines for it.
So like, I was never confident on like, I don't know if I'm doing it correctly.
Am I supposed to spray directly on the machine?
Yeah, right.
Should I respray the paper every time I wipe something?
True, true.
Like, yeah.
Like, should I use three papers or like two or one?
Like I don't.
True.
It's just completely depends on me.
So yeah.
ジムのマシンの清潔さ
Yeah.
Well, you know what I also hate?
Okay.
I also hate when someone uses the machine and they alcohol wipe it and they didn't wipe it enough.
And like, it's fucking, it's still wet.
It's still fucking wet.
Yeah.
It's like dripping.
I hate that.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree with that.
Yeah.
Sometimes I see, you know, the very wet bench.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's bad.
That's a...
Have to wipe it again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That kills the vibe.
True.
I get it.
I get it.
That's like the, like, bad points.
高価なジムと一般的なジムとの違い
When you use those, you know.
Yeah.
Like, shared...
Shared machines.
Yeah, machines.
Yeah.
Because I remember once I went to, with my friends, including the professional.
Oh, yeah.
To the, you know, Gold Gym.
Oh, yeah.
That's one of the highest and most expensive place.
Yeah.
As it's very expensive.
There are only, like, very high, passionate guys are kind of subscribed to that gym.
Yeah.
They are very polite.
Very, like, just like our friend, professional one.
Just like him, very polite, very mannered, gentle.
So, I felt the gap between where we are going versus those Gold Gym.
Wow.
Everybody was like,
and like, they, you know, kind of,
kind of.
That is so polite.
Yeah.
And then you wipe carefully.
Wow.
I can imagine that guy wiping the tissue so carefully.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just like him.
Spraying every part of the tissue and, like, wiping it so slowly.
I can imagine that.
Yeah, yeah.
And they're like,
and then, like, that happens in whole gym.
Wow.
I was amazed.
Different world.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
Damn.
So, compared to that.
フリーウエイトの音の問題
Yeah, compared to that, it's very different.
Yeah, it's very different.
When, you know, at the free weights, I don't use the free weights.
Okay.
But sometimes people at the free weights, they would do, like, a deadlift, right?
Yeah.
And then they would release the bars from.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The highest position.
Right, right, right.
And it makes a huge noise.
Is that mannerful?
Is that bad?
I think that's bad.
Is that bad?
No, it's surprising and very loud and.
Some of the competitions, right?
Some of the professional.
Yeah, yeah.
Tournaments.
Right.
What they do is they would release it from a high position.
So, like, I was curious of, like, is this only okay on the tournaments?
What about, like, the normal gyms?
Some people do it.
I've seen some people be notified by the staff of, like, please don't.
Oh, really?
Yeah, please don't slam the machines on the ground.
Of course.
Yeah.
So, in competitions, like, as it's, like, you know, they're trying to beyond the human limit.
Yeah.
So, it's kind of, we kind of understand that.
It's like one of, it's kind of beauty of, like, beyonding the limit kind of, like, you know.
ジムのトレーニングとマナー
So, that's how people understand.
But in gym, it's not like that.
It's just a training.
So, I don't think they should do like that.
Slam the bars on the ground.
It's very loud.
That's very loud.
Yeah.
I don't like people, like, making loud noise using heavy machines and, like,
stare at, like, whole gym like this and, oh, please don't.
You know?
Well, those guys making, you know, the gym reputation or, like, the kintore reputation
go very bad.
Right.
There are some people that walk around the gym with their chest bumped up so high and, like,
you better not get in my way, bitch.
I'm gonna slam you down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, I'm gonna punch you in the face if you get in my way.
I know those guys.
Right?
Yeah.
A lot of guys are like that.
I get it.
Yeah.
I guess, in general, in people, they have image to us, if you say gym or kintore, those guys.
Right.
So, yeah, that's bad.
That's sort of one of the reasons why people aren't going to the gym.
I guess it's scary.
Yeah.
Hard.
ジムのマナーに関する懸念
Yeah, for sure.
So, that is the monthly update.
Yeah, thank you.
Monthly obsession.
All right.
Okay.
Thanks for sending, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
