OK SERIOUSLY.... There should be a law against any food place opening up next to a gym!

About a week ago a Buffet opened up right next door to the gym I go to. Now the back two rooms (where all the classes, free weights, steppers, & medicine balls are) smell like chinese food. I am not talking a faint smell, I am talking full blown CHINESE like your in the restaurant with a plate of food in front of you smell.

Its smells REALLY good, but I am in no way tempted to go eat there, I just think its huge turn off when I am trying to workout and all I smell is food.

I think the gym may start losing customers because of it...

    I walk out of my gym and can smell the Subway next door while I see the Pizza Hut in front of me. As I pull out of the parking lot there's a McDonalds and a Dunkin Donuts. It kills me.

    ever since I have changed to my healthy lifestyle, and have not eaten that crap in 5 months, the smell of it, as when I walk into walmart and they are frying chicken, just makes me want to gag. You really have to think of it differently and then eventually you will always think gag when you smell it.

    Right?! There's a buffet across the parking lot of my gym, so you're staring at it through the wall of glass while working out on the machines. The other location has a Burger King right outside the window.

    That is wrong as hell!! I could not work out and smell that. They will loose business. The only thing in the parking lot of my gym (thank goodness) is a Jenny Craig and a smoothie joint.

    You definitely don't want the smell of Chinese food in the gym (or any strong odor). Hopefully something can be worked where the restaurant vents to the outside better.

    I would seriously considering changing gyms if I had that.

    That's what happened to me when I cut a lot of sugar out of my diet, when I would try a full blown sugary desert, it would be way to rich for me and I couldn't eat it. That's what we need a pill or a drink you drink that turns your taste bud and smell sense away from all deliciously FATTENING foods!!!!!!! hahaha ...

    That does suck though, I LOVE Chinese food!!

    In my town there is a special chicken that they sell as a fundraiser. Its called Nelson's Golden Glow. Its kind of a cross between BBQ and Rotisserie...
    But anyway, one day they were selling it right outside of Curves. I kind of found it funny. Thank goodness I wasn't working out that day!

    That's America for ya. As soon as I step out of my gym there is a Panda Express and Starbucks directly in front of you and as you pull out there is literally 20 some restaurants on the street like Wendy's, McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc etc etc

    Ugh that must suck! My gym actually has Pizza night and a bagel morning once a week. I hate going in there and seeing tons of Pizza boxes and being able to smell it when I'm working out. I could not handle that everyday. Oh and they also have a giant bowl of tootsie rolls on the counter when you walk in. Thank fully i have been good and havent been tempted to run for the pizza, lol.

    What the?! Why the heck would a gym have pizza night??? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Not to mention candy greeting you at the counter. What gym do you go to?
