After reading this I will surely stop going to the gym. Horrible feelings “my word”. Can’t stop laughing. Keep writing these article.

I see all this crazy stuff at the gym, too, and it drives me crazy! It’s one of the reasons I stop going sometimes. Seriously. I get so tired of it. I love my gym. It’s very small, and they are picky about clothing, language, etc. But they need to stop people from doing some of these very things you’re talking about. They can politely ask someone to clean the equipment after use. They can ask people to get off the machines if they are just using them to sit on while texting or whatever. I’m so glad to see this stuff bothers others. I was beginning to wonder if I was just grouchy. LOL

Your phone memes made me LOL. How true. I touched on this behavior in my blog post “Thumbs at the Ready” https://flbob42.wordpress.com/2018/08/24/thumbs-at-the-ready/#more-788
Here in SW Florida our gym population follows the influx and exodus of the snowbirds which is generally from late October to April. For us this is “the season.” There is also generally a large crowd of “New Years Resolution” folks that show up in January and are gone by groundhog day. It is funny to watch if you are one to tolerate the crowds.

Thanks for the post.

You put your finger on it, Kristin, and made me laugh. I haven’t gone to the gym some I started my CNA course, but come mid-January I’ll be going back. Maybe I’ll print this blog entry out and just casually leave it lying around the weight room…

I’m definitely not a gym rat, but I can’t wait to show this to my friend who is one. No, I’m one of those crazy people who rather get her sweat on outside, even in 20° weather. As always, Kristen, you serve the truth with great humor.

My gym was pretty laid back. Nobody consistently had any bad behavior at any time of year, but every once in awhile we’d get some grunters. Some grunting is acceptable and healthy during a workout, and if your working out hard your going to grunt. I sure did. This was a whole different level. This was great apes in the jungle grunting as loud as they could looking to impress other apes. Except, there wasn’t any one to impress. Not unless these young men, and they were always guys in their twenties, were into middle-aged, overweight women and men old enough to be their Dads/granddads. My best librarian look – and I have a good one – would usually silence there comments about “lifting/stretching from the balls.”

Thanks for the laughs . . . and this is why I work out at home nowadays. Nobody’s sweat but mine own. 🙂
