What the hell did you get me into /fit/
>start at gym today
>had gone in before for paperwork and all that but not really did any workouts
>had signed up for a trainer to show me the basics (I'm an extremely weak skelly and don't want to fuck things up)
>go in today
>there's a lady slamming a giant slinky on the floor
>there's another girl squatting(?) around the treadmills in a circle no where near the other barbells or weights in general
>there's some guy sleeping on one of the machines
>a line was forming at the water fountain because a worker felt like cleaning and spraying the fountain at that moment
>just general chaos
>get list of foods that they say are good/bad
>eggs listed under "poor choice"
I thought the sticky said eggs were good what the hell. I have to keep a food log, so I'm pretty sure if he asks me about the eggs I plan on eating I'm just gonna say my good friend Shaniqua /Fit/iqa told me eggs are good.

Sounds like you joined a course or class or something, not a gym. A gym is literally a room with weights and exercise equipment and you lift said weights and use said equipment. Stop worrying about other people unless they interfere with said equipment and weight.

OP answer this honestly did you join crossfit?
>not one mention of a tip
The plate boy and receptionist are going to remember you for all the wrong reasons. I tip the plate boy 12% total weight added and the receptionist gets a flat $5 every tuesday
You done goofed. You joined a normie gym. Its probably like mine becomjng more and more like planet fitness.

"Eggs are bad" is dieting advice from like 20 years ago before they discovered that dietary cholesterol doesn't have much of an impact on the body's actual cholesterol levels.
Eggs are one of the greatest protein sources in nature
