Funny gym signs
(I don't know what's gotten into me today -- two posts, when I've been AWOL for 4 months!)
My gym is a low-budget operation. The signs telling users the "do's" and "don't's" are no exception -- they are just 8.5 x 11 pieces of paper, laminated, with the rules listed in Times New Roman or some other run-of-the-mill font. In other words, something you could whip up at Kinkos in about 5 minutes, even if you don't happen to have access to a laminator.
This creates all sorts of opportunities for the gym's users, who are mostly students, to um, embellish the rules. This morning, somewhere in the midst of a set of front squats, I noticed that the signs by the powerlifting platforms now read as follows:
"Rules:
NO dumbbells in the power cages
NO walking lunges (KW: this is a real rule, for some bizarre reason)
NO biceps curls
Gloves must match your purse
...
"
If only the signs read "NO power curtsies," too, they'd be perfect!
We'll see how long they stay up.
Anyone else see signs of humor (so to speak) at your gym?
Be strong,
Kim
