    My trainer actually refers to my drips of sweat my river of glory.

    My husband is fit and sweats during the most mundane tasks. We call it his high efficiency cooling system.

    OP - how exactly does one "contain" their sweat??? Most rediculous thing I have heard on here in ages......


    wait until someone hits you in the face with their sweat....

    Is he flicking his hair around like Christie Brinkley in a Prell shampoo commercial? Doing jazz hands while stair stepping? I'm trying to figure out how his sweat is landing on you.

    I was thinking the same thing. Is this guy really just a shaggy dog after a bath? :confused:

    Things people should not be doing at the gym:
    1. Eating chicken soup on the Stairmaster.
    2. Hanging their undies in the squat rack
    3. Doing their taxes on the spin bikes
    4. Drinking champagne in the locker rooms


    Sweating is ok. I think.

    what about sex and champagne in the locker room???

    If it bothered you so much, you could have gone to the bathroom and then chosen another machine.

    You're confused about number 4. I fully condone this provided the person shares.

    Ever see someone walking on the treadmill drinking a 2 liter bottle of coke?

    I'm a person that sweats alot. After 10 minutes on the elliptical the sweating begins. I like sweating when I'm working out, it makes me feel like i've put in good effort. However, No matter how much I'm sweating I will NOT wipe it off until i'm done or if it's in my eyes. I will lose concentration if I'm wiping every 2 seconds.

    Also, I've been a member of my gym going on 6 years and I have NEVER been hit by sweat while on a machine Or even when in Zumba, Spin, Step, Kickboxing.

    Point of clarification--would it be okay for the person to spread the champagne buffet all over the counter/bench in said locker room?

    I will dramatically fling your champagne flutes and chocolate covered strawberries to the floor if I need the sink

    Yes, because it is rude to hog the space with your stuff! How dare people put their stuff in MY gym space!

    Can't say that I have. I have seen a milk drinker. I was just thankful he didn't start running.
