I love my little gym here in town. For the most part no problems.
But when I was working out at a World Gym - ugh. All the skinny minnies in their matching lycra outfits, make-up & hairdos - never breaking a sweat. Drove me nuts. That gym also had a horrible 2 storey layout with spiral staircase I would have to run up & down multiple times (which wouldn't have been a problem except I was terrified of falling down them with the spiral thing) to get my workout in.
People standing around chatting drive me batty. I once plowed right through a group of men who decided to have their mini-meeting right in the path I was doing walking lunges - I was there first!
I'm totally guilty of the lock thing - Never use them. I honestly had NO clue it was annoying. Hmmm...
HOW ARE YOU?!
It's nice to see you post. Is Baby wearing you out yet? Is he sleeping through the night, or should I ask are you? Just wait, it gets better. Just kidding.
lol..that is other reason I avoid the gym those skinny beeouches and who works out with makeup that is some insane crap.
I walk around the mall and thift stores and is FREE and I do break a sweat try doing it for 5 hrs and with a kid in toll.
lol ppl should stop wasting there money on this memberships since,is all bogus..drive there..might as well walk there burns more calories..in nebraska there insane since,half everyone here avoid gyms since,the food is so good lol
I really didn't like when my old gym turned into a "pick-up" palace for high school kids. If you were, you know, not super skinny and were there to work out they got a major attitude with you. I guess I didn't get the memo that I wasn't supposed to work out at the gym, I was supposed to show up at the gym with fully done hair and makeup.
Worst gym experience ever: running laps on the track and two idiots were sitting in the corner rating the women that ran by. They gave me a 6. I wanted to stop and beat the tar out of them. SIX?!?! I'm at LEAST an 8!!! LOL.
Other peeve is people that bypass deodorant. If body odor represents power then I swear I've been on treadmills next to rulers of a HUGE DYNASTIES!!!!
The morning ppl at my gym are crazy! If it's not this one woman singing OUT LOUD on the elliptical to her ipod, it's these two old guys on the treadmills next to me airing their political frustrations to their deaf selves. The other day, one of them shouted to EVERY person who walked by and made eye contact (imagine old geezer voice): "Hey, did you hear about that Warren Buffet this weekend? He totally slammed the administration!"
Gotta love the silver sneakers ppl, but I just want to do my workout in peace!!
There was this BIG musle bound guy squatting just about every plate in the gym and in between sets he was singing "You Need a Man With, SEN-SI-TIVITY!!"" Normally outloud singers irk me but this guy was hilarious!!! The whole free weights section was cracking up laughing.

Tiki: That is hysterical. Thanks for sharing. Great mental image.
It is unseasonably hot here. We have 2 treadmills with fans and 2 without fans. Both of the treadmills with fans were taken by people NOT USING THE FANS. Other than the fans the treadmills are identical. As the dripping sweat poured into my eyes I got more peeved. Of course they have every right to use whatever treadmill they want but I WANT A FAN!!!! heh.
HOW ARE YOU?!

Thanks!
He's a busy, crawling boy but sleeps reasonably well at night (too bad he's nap resistant!).
ROFL. These are great! I'm at a Bally's so I get some variation of every single one of these. The worst for me is the people that "super set" and insist on taking up three machines at any given time.
I go in when they open now so I'm generally there with the regulars that are there to work out and have good gym etiquitte so I don't have too many issues (actually this group is pretty great. very helpful and encouraging). After work and weekends is a whole different set of idiots though.

Me either. I still don't get it either I never use a lock and I use the same locker every day. I lose the key, forget the combination, leave the lock at home etc etc so it's a giant hassle for me. My ADD self is lucky if I remember my waterbottle!
I imagine it being just as annoying seeing a sea of locks that you have to walk past to get to an empty one. I guess because you have the extra step of opening it??
Just kidding.
heh.
