Perhaps,you could try surfing I have thought about it. At my age, I'd probably break/tear something during the learning process.

The nearest gym to me is a 30 minute drive, longer in Winter. So I work out at home. Mostly bodyweight, sometimes free weights if I need to work on a specific muscle(s). Treadmill when the weather is bad, otherwise power hiking or mountain biking.
Or fishing, combined with 12 ounce curls. Not much of a workout, but really enjoyable.

Most such clauses include such extreme overreach that I've assumed they're unlikely to hold up in court. Even though they apparently sometimes do, I continue to hope that instances of true negligence will be deemed as such. Fortunately or unfortunately, that seems to be the nature of indemnification clauses. I used to be a contracts negotiator so I've seen it from both sides. But there are and aren't situations for which these stringent and far reaching clauses are appropriate. The gym indemnification clauses could be specific as to negligence as a cause of action, but the ones I've seen aren't. Nor are the shrink wrap terms of service for many websites, some with very far reaching indemnification clauses.

No, the aisle between the cardio machines and the free-weight benches is not a bowling alley, and a 70-pound dumbbell is not a bowling ball! People on the machines and the benches do next expect a silent crippling land mine to roll past, and it doesn't help that 3/4 of its surface area matches the floor.

If you have to do that in the water fountain, at least wash it down. It will be a couple weeks before I drink out of there again.

There are only two approved activities on the locker bench: getting dressed and getting undressed. Spending 10 minutes texting while naked and blocking 1/4 of the lockers is not on the acceptable list.

I nearly photobombed one of those when I came out of the shower with a towel on my face, blissfully unaware of the risk. (That incident might be higher up on this thread, or it might have died on the old forum). Such behavior should automatically terminate membership.

Rain does not automatically turn the covered portion of the sidewalk into a motorcycle parking lot. Pedestrians should not have to walk in the road because you didn't bring rain gear.

The guy who drags a rowing machine 70 yards to the other side of the gym, sits on it, talks with his buddy, and texts on his phone. On top of rendering a rowing machine useless, he's dragged it to the only large open area of the gym, where people who actually need space (walking lunges, inchworms, bear walks, successive box jumps, farmer's carry, pushing plates, etc.) need the space. This guy pulls stunts like this all the time. He has a few friends who he "leads" through a workout, which amounts to a lot of taking up space and talking - he watched one each Batman and Superman movies last night.
And, as always, the guys who insist on doing bicep curls and overhead presses at the squat rack. Why do they do this, you ask? I'll bet dollars to donuts it's because there's a big honkin' mirror in front of the rack. Apparently this mirror makes them look 30 years younger. Or more manly. Or something. The fact that someone might want to use it to actually do squats is apparently irrelevant.

You guys make me so grateful that my gym is largely full of old people. They are so much more polite than young men!

Maybe they are just too old to be moving the equipment around the gym? Well, sure But you know that testosterone levels drop with age, too, so there's not so much posing and all that. Of course, who (male or female) wants to pose their ancient body and oxygen tank in front of the mirror? After a certain age, one prefers to avoid mirrors so you can maintain that image in your head, the one where you are 30 years younger and 10 pounds lighter...
