What have you overheard at the gym...

Wow i could go off on this topic for hours but to hit the highlights...caught some young men checking out my boobs and butt ....hand gestures and all pretty bad when you can hear them over your headphones. Haven't seen them since.
Young ladies talking about why would you want to sweat ?(in full makeup of course) when their are so many handsome pilots running around while most of the people there are busting their butts working up a mighty fine sweat...
The TOM conversations or the Menopause conversations
Little Johnny potty training....
Like i said i could keep going for hours the gym is just such a microcosm of our society after all

I always seem to get on the dreadmill at the same time the ladies get out of Zumba. Not a week goes by where I don't hear 2 of them discussing how heavy their "flow" is this week......GROSS!!!!!!

If I'm not at work or around my mom, I curse like a cranky sailor.:embarassed: I honestly think it is silly for people to get offended by "bad" words. They are just words. But, some people do. Ce'st la vie. :indifferent:

When I used to go to a gym, mostly I overheard *kitten*-metal blaring from headphones. :sick:

I'm not offended. I just think it's boorish, like ripping a fart or picking your nose in public.

Agree. Lack o class.

Never thought of it that way before...might have to cut out the cursing.:ohwell:
Thanks!

I wasn't offended, I just want to make that clear. I just thought it was weird. I guess for me it's the same as me swearing in front of my parents, I don't drop F-bombs in front of 60 year olds at the gym.

My gym is populated by hormone crazed teenage boys...they mostly talk about their trucks and getting drunk. Last night the subject was how out of shape the girls in their class are.
One guy once said something like "can't work out my legs cause of the b1tches in here" I was the only one in there besides his 2 friends. Apparently my use of the swiss ball was upsetting to him. /shrug

haha, I work out in the ladies section. I'm always worried people are looking at me like I have no clue what I'm doing, my trainer has given me some tricks to help with my form but they make me look like I'm a few bricks short, I can barely do it in front of other women, I would NOT feel like a super awesome powerhouse while doing squats with my nose touching the wall.

On the cursing, I don't do it at the gym in general but on the occasional bad day I'll drop my ipod on the treadmill or accidentally keep pulling my headphone out of my ear and drop a loud-whispered f bomb. Like a stage whisper. A very angry stage whisper.

I don't usually hear weird conversations, but when I lived in Cali I worked at Trader Joe's, and I went to a gym down the street. I'd go before work, shower, and then head in. A lot of my customers went there. And it's so ****ing awkward to have a regular customer approach you naked in the locker room and have a conversation with you- buck!-bare!-stark!- NAKED!! And then have to deal with them at work once or twice a week. It happened all. The. Time.

Lol, oh that would be REALLY weird.

I'm a fast changer. I'm one of those that puts my sports bra over my real bra then take that off, or quickly whip off my jeans and put my work out pants on super quick!!

I had this happen to me ONCE. I never, ever, ever used the gym locker room again. I would drive home to shower (I only lived like five minutes away so I just made it work).

The old guys shaving naked over the sink in the gym....just gross.

Since the topic is things overheard, I'm guessing they must be using electric razors.
