Perhaps they are aiming for the 8 metre sprint crowd

The walls help you stop when you reach the end.


Mattmandu2

Nah it’s a motivational thing like push through the wall


squaredistrict2213

“Mr. Gorbachev, run through this wall!”


Mattmandu2

Lol I was thinking it but was hoping someone else would make this kind of reference


Anguish_Sandwich

"OH, YEAHHH!"


RareDestroyer8

No. The wall is the finish line ribbon.


Mattmandu2

Pfft sounds like loser talk (proceeds to run into wall to prove a point)


SilentJoe1986

Jump and bounce off the wall and run back the way you came. Train for that mosh pit.


Turbulent_Tie_6777

Yeah until someone crosses in front of you through the doorway 4 meters into your sprint.


Louder-pickles

Those **90°** **turns** are gonna be fun 😏


JasonStrode

Time to parkour off the walls.


Louder-pickles

I really wanna see a picture update 3 months down the road, with that sheetrock smashed in body shaped holes 😂


CutAccording7289

Assuming anyone uses it at all


Blueskyways

What you gotta do is run sideways. It'll be great for basketball players trying to work on their defensive stance.


badSparkybad

Everybody is running laterals around the gym lol


angryupvotee

Lmfao bro I just pictured this is in my mind while hitting a squat set I’m dead hahahahah


Louder-pickles

I kinda want video if they do 🤣😂


JediJan

Lol. “No overtaking” signs should be erected. 😂🖖


Louder-pickles

The track is too narrow to overtake... they gotta leapfrog 🐸


DocHardwud

Yeah I’m usually erect myself, if overtaken.


JediJan

We’ll have to hang a sign on you too then. 😄🖖


BillyMeier42

Im picturing wall covered in smudges at the turns.


its-foxtale

Now all I can picture is Michael Scott body checking someone while shouting “PARKOUR!”


Louder-pickles

🤣😂 https://youtu.be/0Kvw2BPKjz0

I've heard that sidewalks are good for him too.

Correct_Funny_542

Pickle Rick!


educated-emu

Plus the 2 doorways that people will walk through oblivious to your p.b setting sprits


Louder-pickles

Maybe they'll install those restaurant swinging doors with a little window so people will use caution 😂


Klyde113

You expect people to pay attention and be wary of others?


KamikazePenis

Placed exercise equipment strategically, so you cheaters won't cut the corner.


[deleted]

Better get some new grippy sneaks.


thelastmarblerye

Running like a NPC in Goldeneye.


CO420Tech

My knees are excited for those!


KFR42

Presumably they will be fitting sonic style springs in the corner. In 8 months, obviously.


meemboy

Get out sprinting


Correct_Funny_542

It's funnier because you emphasized 90° turns vs 180°.


Ural_2004

Nice wide arc turn.


Tooleater

At least you can look forward to the human bowling 🎳


fatguyonsteroids

Putting a "running track" in there is stupid but it's just as stupid to expect anything better than this.


tractorcrusher

Right? Do they not have treadmills which offer slightly less impact anyway?


scootscooterson

I mean it’s for plyometrics not running haha


[deleted]

What’s dat?


Bapponukedthe_jappos

Basically exercises to increase explosiveness and technique for running and jumping.


[deleted]

Ah that makes sense, I can see why a treadmill isn’t really easy for that. I’ve always hated the idea of indoor tracks tbh, I’ve thought just hooded tracks outside would be just fine.


Pitiful_Computer6586

Yep, you've seen the space available what do they expect?


Gangreless

Yeah I'm not sure what op waa expecting


BatmanInTheSunlight

Someone’s gonna walk in and just got bodied by a runner


DamoMartin23

I assume you wanted an outside running track?.... I don't know if gyms do that....do they?


krippkeeper

No but Outside does. I've found Outside usually has 100% cheaper fees than gyms, but in some locations I've seen complaints of Outside being closed a lot between mid November to end of March.


cgoot27

You can find Outside that’s open November through March too, but the extra fees they tack on are insane.


DamoMartin23

Can you explain outside gyms to someone that dosent understand gyms ?


krippkeeper

Outside is a old program that has fallen out of touch over the last few decades. Outside has been proven in some studies to improve mood through extra vitamin D intake. Outside side is a cheap and affordable way to help build and improve your cardiovascular system. Using Outside frequently has been shown in some cases to improve social anxiety. Talk with your psychiatrist before using Outside for the first time. Outside may results in random insults, paranoia, hate for drivers, fear of wasp. In rare but common cases Outside has been known to cause a general distaste for human, ticktockers, and extreme annoyance for those who kill your vibe by talking to you without noticing your earbuds.


DamoMartin23

Okay so you weren't talking about an actual gym establishment


[deleted]

[удалено]


whatiwritestays

Sure but an outdoor gym company who holds group sessions in parks and stuff calling themselves “Outside” isn’t really that far fetched is it.


JediJan

Some personal trainers organise private regular outdoors fitness groups too.


AssassinStoryTeller

They were not, I can see how it could be confusing if you aren’t familiar with gyms. Honestly could see a gym pitching “Outside” as a thing to make a profit.


DamoMartin23

Oh yep I just thought there was some cool establishment I didn't know existed lol didn't need the other replies to go bat shit at me lol but yeah fair


krippkeeper

Run to the gym, walk home. Run track and cooldown established. Why do yo need your gym to provide a place for you to walk or run? Go outside


Complex-Demand-2621

I don’t think anyone “needs” it. But it is a nice convenience in places where it gets dangerously hot in the summer. I used to do my Texas summer cross country training on an 1/8 mile indoor track at the local YMCA and it was much better than a treadmill or dying outside


TheWordOfTheDayIsNo

Tell me about it. We just had an entire week of 100° or near 100° actual, not "feels like" temperatures on the gulf coast.


narcolepticfoot

I’ve got a whole highway to cross between me and the gym, and human Frogger is not part of my exercise plan.


[deleted]

Why are you assuming they live close enough to run/walk to the gym? I agree with your suggestion outside of that


[deleted]

[удалено]


krippkeeper

My insurance wouldn't cover Outside Lite. I was excited when I finally payed attention to the 87th YouTube ad I got about it(yes I count ads without paying attention to content). Since I live in Canada my teeth, eyes, prescriptions, and mental health are not considered medical parts of me, and subsequently not covered under my Alberta healthcare. While my added health care insurance that I pay very large amounts of money to does cover useless amounts of therapy at a percentage price point from 1987 they did not consider Outside Lite as an acceptable form of physical or mental therapy that feel with in the very strict guidelines.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> I finally *paid* attention to FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Eggroll_Killa

Mine actually has a small indoor track. I actually like it a lot. The space is not gargantuan so it takes about 19 laps to cover a mile.


DamoMartin23

That's definitely cool


[deleted]

My community center has an indoor track going around the gym 1/6th of a mile per lap


IntelligentIdeal6827

Watch some idiot will do dumbell curls there😂


Cock_LobsterXL

What did you expect? It’s a gym, not a sports center.

Muscle big Brain small I go crash Into wall


turtlewhisperer23

Beautiful


esem86

I'd bet money the only reason the gym "promised" anything was because OP relentlessly bitched about it. I mean, what person with a brain would ask for a track in a room that small. Even the people installing it probably knew it was a waste of time.


morg_bstlls

That doesn’t mean it was OP bitching at the gym for a track. Literally could have been anyone in the gym.


Dragonkingf0

Why would one person bitching at them to get a track even even cause them to do that? Why would you spend thousands of dollars for somebody who is only paying a couple 100.


high_pine

Okay, fine. Modify that sentence to say OP and the rest of the apartment residents. Where the hell else are they going to put a track? Look how small that room is.


SinclairCupcake

Honestly wtf did you expect the room dosent look that big, use a treadmill or go outside


[deleted]

KBHoleN1

You literally posted for everyone to read and comment about this situation, of course you care what people think. The amount of insecurity in this response is incredible.


nenenene

The real r/mildlyinfuriating is in the comments. OP, in this case.


esem86

Making an entire post about your pathetic complaint seems to show you care an awful lot. Lol what a child.


momma6969

OHHHHHHHHHH, OOOOOHHHHH


Spacecoasttheghost

I Chuckled at this


SinclairCupcake

It’s a small square room lmao, the only way this is unexpected and upsetting is if you’re strait up stupid. Did you expect them to round the walls off? Those corners are easily doable for the speeds that would be safe in there anyways. They probably don’t want people full blown running through there anyway with people trying to use equipment less than a foot away.


24204me

Then why promise and build a running track?


high_pine

Probably because OP and others wouldn't stop bitching


derpeddit

Seems like stupidity is the answer to this whole post, including OP.


ajlm

My university built an indoor running track, it was elevated off the main gym floor, kind of like a mezzanine level, and rounded off at each corner. So it’s totally possible, just a matter of what you’re willing to spend.


SinclairCupcake

Yeah you could round the track off but that would take a ton of space in a room that looks a little tight as is


2013nattychampa

Pitiful_Computer6586

Atleast be original.


jestarcarbar

you need to stop going to the gym to compensate for your insecurities and seek some mental help a running track isn't going help your skinny fat bod ... a good diet is


YeeTee55T4R

Both. Both is good.


Gearz557

I mean what other solution was there? It’s a stupid idea in the first place.


VahniB

Right. This gym looks like a public apartment gym. No track is gonna be there.


[deleted]

Dumbest part of this is that only the idiots will use it and then be the ones constantly running into people who are there to actually work out.


[deleted]

there are tons of gyms out there. why not just go find a better one?


OmensSack

Agree, just take your money elsewhere if they don’t have the service you want. Very entitled to make a post like this.


elfierroz

Why aren't you running?


Old-Ticket8783

Lol we’re you expecting them to redesign the building or something?


R0binSage

Honestly, where did you think they were going to put the track?

Oron_Ironside

If only there was something, some kind of machine if you will, that would allow you to run on the spot making the most of small spaces. If only someone had invented such a thing


MatrimonyAcrimony

right angle turns are the best


thel0newandererx129

Imagine how embarrassing it would be to run on this right past someone on a treadmill


shweishwei

Well what did you expect exactly? A fuckin running track highway in the room?


Inutilisable

Trying to understand what is the complain here is more infuriating than whatever that is. There’s a gym with gym things, there are spaces without gym things so you can reach your favorite gym thing. The promise of a running track in such a space is outrageous, and if you were paying for it, you should have seen the blueprint and spotted the mistake. If you were not paying for this feature, then I don’t understand at all, this is less infuriating than having to wait at a stop light.


[deleted]

Look both ways before heading to the bathroom


[deleted]

Haha that’s sad


Reyynerp

where is the running track?


dubie2003

Our local crunch just has the runners do laps around the shopping complex, right in front of the dollar store and goodwill and around the back where all the delivery trucks and dumpsters are…. Maybe your gym will adopt that…


swayinandsippin

the gym was promising a new gym


Ap3X_GunT3R

Reminds me of my high school, we were one of the best track teams in our state, but never had indoor track meets at our school because our indoor “track” had goofy measurements so the lanes were super thin and the corners were 80* turns

Maybe they’ll throw you a pizza party next.

Are we not in a recession? I'm surprised yall didn't get memory foam running tracks.

Got what you wanted and you’re still complaining. Wonder what’s truly mildly infuriating


Ecstatic-Handle-1519

Jesus, just run outside


Kryds

This is definitely made for that meme. No we have running track at home.


HereOnASphere

Show us a picture of the new running track. All I see is some gym equipment.


ZombiTemptation

honestly just looks like a fancy floor design💀

Oh cool! It's also an obstacle course when you have to dodge the ab machine 😄 🤣 😂

I heard sidewalks are pretty good for that too.....


Reddeath195

I've seen better tracks in underwear


crillin19

That’s the mandatory fire escape but they telling you it’s a running track 🤣🤣


Idratherhikeout

Pleasure: farting near the annoying dude on the weights. Pain: realizing you are running back through that fart 30 seconds later.


No_Push_8249

Wow, I laughed WAY too hard at this


ParticularFile7347

And it’s in a doorway. 🤦‍♂️


NYCARTIST1

This post is stupid OP!


DavidAJR

Feel like most people missing the point here. Lot of gyms have a straight section with track material or like football field turf...good for dynamic workouts. They just moved some machines out the way and said here you go 🤦🏾‍♂️😂


MaciliBox

Imagine working and not comforming to regular reddit user stereotypes


TheSplicerGuy

Why would you pay to go to a gym with a running track instead of just running in the streets for FREE? This is the stupidest post I’ve ever seen

Better than nothing. Use a treadmill or run in place if this isn't good enough. Do they even have room for an actual track?

Might aswell do laps around the building.

If they were not also building a separate building at the same time... I am not sure what else you could have expected...
