I always talk about how working out and going to the gym relieves a ton of my stress but a girls allowed to change her mind right?

Seriously, there are so many douche bags that dwell in the local gyms around here.

1) The guy that is lounging back on a chest machine with his legs crossed like he is at home on his couch. Oh, and he is talking on the phone.

2) The big dude that just finished a set stands up and YELLS… YEAH!!!!

3) The dude stuck in the 90’s. He still wears a cut off flannel shirt with a hood and leaves it completely unbuttoned. Then to top that off, he wears one of those hats with the flaps in the back to catch sweat.

4) The lady that does a stripper dance in front of the main mirror for over an hour. Shaking her thang for all of us to see.

5) The many gals that show up in full make up and perfect hair and do level fucking one on the elliptical while talking on their phone.

6) The idiot that looks like he had never seen the inside of a gym but has some size so he thinks it is ok to wear tight shit that shows off way too much. Then proceeds to wildly throw some equipment around. Everyone is walking as far away from this guy while he does a machine so they don’t get nailed by a flying grip. He is never to be seen again and I am assuming it is because he tore every ligament in his body and is in the hospital.

7) The trainer that looks anorexic or like a before picture on a Jenny Craig add telling someone else how to get in shape!

8) All of us that kept working out like life is great, while a dead guy lay on the ground next to the ab machine that he had a heart attach on. (Actually a very disturbing scene)

9) The people that look great and you have no idea how since you have never seen them actually do anything but talk to everyone.

10) The dude that is next to you on the treadmill that smells so bad that even if you hadn’t taken a shower in over a month and ate Chinese food for every meal you would still smell better than him.

There are so many benefits to going to a gym.  My favorite is laughing at the idiots there.

  1. Was there really a dead guy there? That is HORRIBLE! As for the rest, meh-I can't imagine it at all.

  4. Do they allow you to bring cameras into that gym, because some visual aids would really help with a post like this one . . . just saying :-)

    "People of Danielle's gym," like the famous "People of Wal-Mart."

    So you're saying cut-off, open flannel hoodies are out . . . what about corduroy shorty-shorts, with piping down the side, that say "OP" on them?

  5. Lol. This is hilarious - aside from the dead guy of course.

    Also why I prefer to work out at home or outside. ;)

  6. I'm with Mindy on this one, glad I got that home gym, and like to do a lot of biking.

    And WTF is with the dead guy? Seriously? Damn.

  7. I have never been in a gym but I need more info on the chick shaking her thang at me for an hour. Can you join and then just watch thang shakers? I LOVE me some thang shaking!

    I would prolly stand in front of the mirror looking at my hotness without working out and I'd yell YEAH at myself!

  8. Ummmm I think the dead guy is your hint that the gym might not be quite up to par... just sayin.

    I was at Golden Corral today and I thought to myself... there should be a People of Golden Corral... but like someone already said... there should probably be a People of your gym.

  10. Seriously, if my manchild wasn't a trainer at the gym, I'd just work out at home.

    He keeps things running pretty smoothly, and doesn't allow much of what you have to put up with. He also does a good job at keeping the assholes away from Mama. It's a nice perk!

    Thanks for putting up with all that you do, though because the results are without a doubt worth it! *wink*

  11. When I was fit and in shape, I would go to the gym at 5:30 in the morning for alot of those very reasons. NO ONE is chatting on their cell phone at 5:30 in the morning. They're their to work out and that it. You never saw chicks with makeup on either. Hell it would be a good day if we had our hair brushed.

  12. OMG this post is terrific! I so have to blog about the people in my gym...but wait! They would be the same as the ones in yours!
    And yeah, I totally dig some of the geddups some of those big busty weight lifting guys wear? What is up with the tight fitting tank tops? Any circulation going to their forearms in those?

  13. I think you must be kidding about the dead guy. You're kidding...right?? I have never gone to a gym and, especially after reading this, do not ever plan to :)

  14. Awww...that makes me miss the gym...ha ha!!

  15. OMG, I feel for you ! I try to go as late as possible when few people are left to avoid the type of twattery you described above.

    We don't have any chicks doing stripper dances at my gyms, but I do remember seeing some chicks with short shorts and no underpants. OR how about the chicks that have their legs in split position in the air to do situps for all to see ?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Yup. And this is the other reason I don't have a gym membership. The first is...money. Oh, and third...lack of ambition coupled with no interest in wasting money that could be spent on food.

    I love people watching though...

  17. i'm still stuck in the '90s, they don't make music like that anymore, long live grunge!

  18. I hate the gym! I totally prefer a good run or bike ride. Anything outdoors. That said, when I was a member of a local gym, the best time for me to workout was when the old people were there working out. The old people and a few strippers. It was too funny! The strippers wanted to stay toned without being hit on by horny guys during the evening rush, so they'd lift when the old men (older than me) were there. Yeah, I talked to a few of these girls... They were hotties!

  19. One thing I like about the Y I go to is they are Nazi's about the "no phones" in the locker room and in the cardio/weights area.

    But everything else? Yeah - it's there too. Except the dead guy. Man, what a shocker that must have been. There's a post waiting to happen, no?

  20. Are you sayin' you don' like my stripper dance?? Damn. (practicing my pole act)

    And second to the flap-hat, I find men who yell "YEAH!" randomly to be extremely hot....then again, did he give the dead guy the heart attack?

    You could always join a ladies gym....BUT WHERE THE HELL IS THE FUN IN THAT?!?

  21. You are so right, IPOD's help a little.
    At my gym there is this one idiot always skipping rope right in front of the water fountain.

    I stuck my hand out to catch the rope once, he got so pissed at me, I told him the retard workout section was on the other side.

    This blog reaffirms my idea of starting my own gym.

  22. Chinese and not showering for a month...be still my beating heart.

  23. Oh I love the entertainment at the gym... and just as much fun talking to other friends that work out and coming up with the descriptions! I love it.

    There is a woman I see every time I'm at the gym, even when I sneaked in early morning, that looks like the walking dead. I don't even know how she has the energy to work out or how they can let her???

  24. ahahahahaha!! guuuuuurl, this is so true! cracked me up...

  25. I used to work out at a gym. I didn't care for the travel time to and from. Now, I work out in my basement. Easier, cheaper.

    I could never, ever understand the gals who had their skin tight clothes and makeup, and perfect hair. It was obvious why they were there.....to get attention.
