    The guy who reached down his shorts, readjusted his junk (no big deal so far - not, you know, awesome, but no big deal) and then SNIFFED HIS FINGERS before walking off to another machine.

    OMG. Gross. Grosser than gross.

    Ew.

    yikes........didn't think anyone was watching :-(

    I think I'm more grossed out by the fact that his ball sweat is all over the machines now.. *hurk*

    People wonder why I work out at home.

    Just before xmas Santa came in to work out. It was an elderly round man who got on the exercise bike for the better part of an hour. He was in full santa gear, hat and everything.

    It drives me nuts at my gym that the trainers encourage their people to do step ups... on the benches. Seriously, I'm about to lie down where you're putting your dirty feet right now.

    I go to my gym. I sort of watch what others are doing to see if I can learn something. Sometimes I do... other times I don't. If somebody needs help, I offer it (like the time the young man (16 or so) was trying to take off the 100 lb (45 kg) weight off the leg press machine somebody left on the top rack, backwards so it was like impossible to grip. Unless somebody is doing something that will obviously hurt them, I don't worry about what others are doing. I know enough to know there are a lot of things I don't know so most of this stuff.. quite frankly don't bother me. If sombody is using several machines... OK> as long as they are not hogging them (placing towels and personal items to hold one machine while they move to the other -- that irritates me)... All in all, I am there to improve me. smile:

    This morning I was doing close grip bench press and a guy runs over and spots me on my last rep. I had the rep no problem I was just going a bit slow. Sure I've helped people myself but only if the bar actually starts moving downwards towards their chest.

    Some girl in my Body Pump class was wearing a tube top and her boob popped out during "clean and press'. That was pretty funny. She screamed too, so of course everyone looked.

    I'm the only guy in class....

    This would annoy me to no end, depending on how involved he got. Get away from my weights! :wink:

    Those who do not know the proper tense in which to use the word seen. They are gym monsters.

    Yeah he basically finished the rep for me. I felt so deprived!

    Another funny thing I saw recently was a guy benching on the incline press with his *kitten* so far off the bench he was horizontal.

    Mine is hear more than see thing. If you are the cute girl with the nice perfume that is always on the elliptical, please understand that, just because you have headphones on, it doesn't mean that we can't hear or smell your farts . . .

    Guy in underwear doing squats.

    Ha! I once walked into one of the rooms where they hold group classes, when it was empty, and there was a guy stripped down to his whitey tighties flexing in the mirrored walls. I ran out very quickly and very quietly.



    Another one that comes to mind was a guy who loaded up the bar for a bench press, then took a couple folded yoga mats, placed them on his chest, and then bounced the fully loaded bar off his chest several times. Then he put the bar back up.


    :laugh: :laugh: I am in freaking tears

    Feeling judged at the gym is why I feel self conscious and wait until midnight to workout so I have the place to myself. Just putting that out there.

    Today at the gym I was on a treadmill between these two people:

    1. A man at least 80 sporting booty shorts that said "I'm too sexy for my shorts" on the back.
    2. A women at least 60 using three treadmills at the same time wearing black leather gloves that went over the elbow. At first I thought it was a germaphobe thing, but then she kept removing them and touching EVERYTHING on the treadmill that a person can touch.
