    I saw a man yesterday who had just finished on the treadmill. He was sweating so much that he looked like he'd just come out of a pool/ a fountain. It was actually an amazing sight! I didn't know anyone could sweat that much. I liked it because it made me feel less sweaty and disgusting!

    I love seeing people rack their weights when they're done

    I love watching this 91 year old woman lift weights (not machines)

    I love when no one complains to me

    An empty line of ellipticals, preferably the new ones with TVs. I don't have TV at my house so if there is a good show on I'll stay on the elliptical on intervals for a crazy amount of time :P

    When I'm the only girl in the free weight area. I'm not that strong yet, still gaining strength after a shoulder injury, but I love the looks I get.

    When you start to notice overweight people losing weight/inches. I feel so happy for them!

    The really fit girls - motivation!

    An empty locker room :)

    I can not stand the grunters. I do not need to go to the gym listening like a man is cumming like he never has before or something. It is not necessary.

    I love seeing an empty row of treadmills! :laugh:

    That's why I put together my own gym. No waiting and cleaner. Though I do miss watching all the beautiful bodies. :)

    People wiping down their machines!
    When the wipe containers are full.
    Empty weight room.
    The new guys that watch me stride right past them to the weights. Yes some girls do lift weights!
    The regulars that nod at me.
    An empty treadmill so I don't have to wait.
    When there is more on the tv's than just news.
    Myself in the mirror drenched, bright red, crazied eyed knowing I did it!
    Not going to lie, some awesome eye candy abs/arms is always welcome!

    I love watching this unlikely friendship between a 20-something guy and a 60-something lady. She loves to talk and he loves to listen, but every once in a while she gets so wrapped up in what she's chatting about that she stops working out. He always says, "Omm, come on now, keep going!" when she pauses. She smiles and gets back to it, then continues their conversation.

    I want to be in your class getting sweaty with it (na na na na na na na)!!!

    I'd love to see myself walk over to the free weights section and not feel like every pair of male (and female) eyes are glued on me.

    I do love it when the machines I want are empty, people actually wipe down the machines they just used and I LOVE the feeling I get when I walk out knowing I busted my butt in there!

    My gym is at the office. I love being able to watch my "gym crush" and know that he looks just as good in his business attire as he does in the gym. Gorgeous arms = love them!

    Seeing older women -- like 60+ -- lifting heavy and wearing bodybuilding gloves. That's inspiring. And a few nice chests (on men, that is) doesn't hurt!:happy:

    I love seeing people's accomplishments, watching someone come in unable to run a mile then as time passes they are kicking *kitten*. Oh and the eye candy, not going to lie.

    Me. I love seeing me at the gym. It makes me believe that I am really there.

    34 years of not being there it comes at a surprise sometimes.

    Seeing people with physical disabilities still working their butts off at the gym. There is an overweight woman with a cane who comes in for personal training. There are at least two or three women who use walkers but still get their tushes on the bikes and do their workout.

    Seeing preggos lifting weights and rockin' it. Let's me know I can do that someday.

    I love watching myself in the mirror. I turn myself on while lifting.

    I love seeing the weights area full of hot guys. Mmmm eye candy. Then I promptly walk over and join in.

    I love getting compliments from guys about how much weight I have when doing triceps.

    I love the look on the employees' faces when I come into the gym for the 2nd time in one day. And I love when they pick on me because "You are always here!"

    I love when I'm asked by newbies if I'm the class instructor. Well, thank you! That's an amazing compliment that you feel as though I look like I could be the teacher, but I'm not!

    I love when I see other women walk around the locker room naked.....since I do.

    I love seeing the same people EVERY day. There are people just as addicted to the gym as me!

    I love seeing my Zumba instructor. She's amazing. In the purple pants going crazy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r7g-FrOwuM&feature=plcp She makes me sweat, and I love it. I am normally in that hole right beside her looking just as crazy!

    I love seeing people that started when I did and seeing their transformation over the months.

    There aren't many things I DON'T love seeing at the gym.....besides people dressed in ill fitting work out clothes. UGH. :sick:

    I love to see a man working out his legs. A lot of guys spend so much time lifting the upper body, and then they have chicken legs

    I love seeing more women lifting weights. Hopefully the myth of getting bulky weight lifting is being disproved Strong=Sexy

    1 - old people!! the gym i used to go to there would always be this man who was 74 years old still being a beast on the treadmill!! That's my goal...70's and beyond!!!!

    2 - I love seeing the same faces...it's like we all have this secret bond that people who don't exercise can't understand

    3 - gotta admit...I love seeing a have empty gym. less stressful to workout when you're not waiting to get on a machine.

    AWESOME! Squats are the devil! My trainer believes that I should only do legs on friday and that my weekend should be spent crying on my couch. hahahahahahaha

    I really LOVE seeing a gym that's crowded. No joke. I work out alone 3 days a week and I enjoy the amount of people in it. I feel like... we're all together for the same purpose. It's very motivating. And I enjoy a lot of people on the treadmills. When I'm running, it's like we're running together lol, a bit cheesy.

    I also love seeing people do things from p90x, like this one guy was doing the prison-style push-ups. He looked really cool!

    A lot of the people in my gym are really quiet. I almost never see anyone huffing and puffing, unless you're in a class, which is where I'm at 90% of the time I'm there.
