1) All the regulars know you
2) All the regulars know what treadmill you like, and leave it for you
3)Friends know exactly where you're going when they see you downtown
4) You're a regular saturday morning for a black coffee at the cafe downstairs.. because you dragged your butt out of bed for your Saturday AM workout
5) The manager has hired you as a summer student.

Sooo happy about the last one :)

    I've had people come up to me at work and say "Hey.. Don't you go to _____ gym?". Or when you know who's at the gym just by the cars in the parking lot. lol.

    You look forward to people watching, and you have your favorite! (there is one girl who I love her outfits... her shoelaces always match her shirts... I lookforward to seeing her outfits every time I go to the gym.

    or You know exactly what tv shows are going to be on the tvs at what time!

    Aw, how sweet that they leave your treadmill open.
    I'll second #s 1, 3, 4, 5 and Gorilla's comment.

    Looks like we'll both be working at a gym this summer due to our frequent visits.
    Congrats!

    When you're hoping your sports bra dries in time for your next workout! (Really, I need to invest in more than one! Washing and drying it everyday is a pain!)

    Friends text or FB you to see what class you're doing at the gym today and want to join you. I feel like the gym class party planner!

    i agree with this one! i have two. and since i work out at home for my last workout, i alway just hang it on the fan to dry, and then wear it again that night since nobody will be around to smell me. lol.

    When you phone your sister who goes to the same gym in a different city and realise you've had a 45 minute conversation exclusively about what's available and your different branches, what classes are good, what moves you like etc.

    Co-workers check with you before scheduling a meeting to see if it interferes with a workout.

    Congrats on your summer job OP!
