The girl at the front desk knows your card number by heart.

Your family thinks you've gone overboard.0 -

Not a gymrat, but definitley a fitness rat!
The only clothes that seem to circulate through the laundry are my work uniforms and work out clothes.0 -

Uh oh I fit into 3/5 of the categories. It's my gym at work and rarely anyone talks to each other they actually try to avoid you. But OMG I will wash my favorite gym clothes twice a week to wear them again!0 -
...When you help spot random strangers who are lifting, just so you can encourage them to get the hell off so you can have the bench all to yourself.
...When you have a dedicated section at the gym that you routinely hit on specific days and throw a *kitten* fit when some random yahoo is on your machine.
...When you mentally assess the incorrect form of people performing their routines.
...When you go so much that the staff starts asking if you want to become an employee.0 -
I guess I'm a gym rat!0

You might be a gym rat if...even your children start crying when they think they won't see their friends in the play room at the gym. This happened today, left the house for the gym got part way and realized I didn't have my phone which has the music so turned around and went back. I pull in the driveway and open the garage and my youngest starts crying "I wanna go to exercise"! It took a minute to assure her that yes we are going I just forgot something.
Also guilty of having favorite workout clothes, it's about all I wash of mine in the laundry. I suffer withdraw symptoms when I'm not there and yes most trainers know me by name and the girl at the front desk too...oh well as far as vices go this is a good one to have.0 -
i am such a gym rat!! everything you said is so me LOL gym gossip LOL
i keep a pair of running shoes in the trunk JUST IN CASE!0 -

Thaaaat's me... I get bored at the gym, but I'm constantly out running stairs, hills, lunging through the streets in my neighborhood lol0 -
Good Gym story you may ask....WELLLLLL my boyfriend was doing pull ups and the machine he does them on is near the Men's Locker Room and the Locker Room has walls' that do not go up all the way to the ceiling...so may be 6-10 inch gap....So there he is, iPod on, doing his pull ups....1 Pull Up, 2 Pull Up...glances into the Locker Room and OH EM GEEEE - nakked old dude with all the uglies hanging out! Yep, poor bf is traumatized and will not do pull ups any longer. Oh yea and his usually bigger then life appetite was lost that night BWAHAHAHAHA0

I'm such a gym rat!!! I think I know all the people that work there lol0
-
Hilarious!! Definitely true!0
-
Completely guilty of just about all of the things posted on here but I don't care!
And yes, my family & friends think I'm totally going overboard but I feel great!0 -
I'm a total gym rat... keep all my stuff in my car and everyone there knows me... when I miss they ask me where I was...0

You might be a gym rat if...
The person at the front desk tells you, "Hey I've been watching you, you're looking good!
You start noticing which worker has which schedule and when they switch schedules you ask yourself what day it is!
Your sister tells you your nephews 2nd birthday party starts at 11am and you tell her you'll be at the gym until 1 so you'll be late!
You get mad when someone is on "your" machine!
Oh wow I love this, makes me not feel so bad that others are gym rats too!!!0 -
The "newbies" irritate you yet make you feel superior.0
-
think I must be guilty of most of the things mentioned above, never thought I would say that!! I just LOVE the gym
0 -
most of these apply to me, and it was my birthday last week and got a hrm from my friends, and it was really very exciting to me.
i think im proud to be a gym rat!! there could be worse things! : )0 -

...When you mentally assess the incorrect form of people performing their routines.
My fear is everyone is doing this, which is one of the things that keeps me from using the resistance machines, and I have not even dared to think about hitting the weights.
I would not consider myself a gym rat, but FourSquare declared me one a couple of weeks ago.0 -
LOL! Most of these fit me too. Not much gossip since my gym is also at work so we have to be careful what we say but when the right folks are around, it can be a lot of fun just chit-chatting. One thing good about having the gym at work is I'm able to "network" just by being seen there - more people know who I am and talk to me now than they did before. Bonus!
And yes, I will be asking for new sneakers and a new HRM for my birthday next month. Gym rat? Hell yes, guilty as charged!0 -
Love this! Mine is....
~ if for your birthday this year you only asked for gym clothes and a HRM :happy:
Not a gym rat, but am a fitness rat and i totally did this for my birthday this year LOL! I spent all my birthday money on new workout clothes and running shoes!0
