Being pushed over at the gym

I find a quick elbow in the face tends to provide lots of room.

ETA: Seriously though, you know this is the area where people sneak in at the last minute. Just start somewhere else rather than letting it ruin your workout.

This. Don't let others push you around.

A big fart should do the trick...

The instructor is supposed to lock doors once the first minutes are in. You need to talk to front desk and get an appointment with the gym management and they may be able to help.

Gym is the perfect place where people get pushed over. And you should not let that happen. When I used to go to spinning sessions in equinox, I'd call out latecomers aloud because they disturb class concentration. And the instructors cannot do this because they will lose clients.... However, they have thanked me later on a few occasions. It's like being an activist student.

I suspect there are many who would call it something considerably different.

this happens to everyone in day to day life, not just the gym. maybe get to class earlier and not stand in the back, or learn to not care if you are bumped into, or become the one bumping into them instead, or find a class that isnt' so crowded, there are a ton of options.

As someone who is 4'10" I can agree with this sentiment. I've been pushed unintentionally at bars and night clubs countless times because people don't see me. So sometimes, you just have to be assertive and let people know you are there and want to do your thang in peace!

Maybe fake tourettes, twitching and yelling, "Late comers suck. Move, need room, you suck!..."

Throw them bows.

I always thought it was throw them BONES. Oops.

Bows is short for elbows.

Yes. I get that. I never really thought about it when listening to the song.
