I found this informative but mostly pretty funny. How many of these behaviors have you seen at your gym?

    HAHA! I've definitely seen a few of these: Girls wearing JEWELRY and makeup to "workout", ppl who mill about and just b.s. with one another, people who hog equipment and aren't even using it, the guy that doesn't think it's OK to wear the same gym clothes for 2 weeks who gets on the treadmill next to me (I almost threw up), and those annoying guys who grunt and yell lifting weights. SO hilarious.

    I've seen guys working out in overalls and work boots. Not really what I would consider condusive to working out and kinda makes me feel like I'm at some hillbilly gym.

    My friend runs a business with his cell as his main communication so he is the "phone guy", although he's not obnoxious about it.

    Otherwise I think I've been pretty lucky in not having experienced this stuff to it's full potential.

    I've seen quite a few women working out with full make up on, I wonder if their faces don't get itchy once they start sweating.

    I do have on makeup most days. I go to the gym after I get off work. I don't take time to clean my face first. I change clothes, workout then go home to shower.

    I often still have a bit of eyeliner or something on from my day. It doesn't smudge or anything so I don't see why I need to take it off to make other women feel happy...

    I must have a well-behaved gym; I haven't seen most of these. I do wonder about the few women I've seen in makeup. And there is one guy who sounds like he is barking when he lifts. And there was one lady who tried to correct my form when my trainer was right there working with me.

    Had my first guy doing that today. I just laughed inside. Laughed, because I still had access to the power rack, which I prefer.

    Ha! I came from work one day and actually had makeup on... Had a session with my swim coach, so didn't bother with removing my makeup. An hour later, my lipstick was still bright red, but the rest of the makeup was gone. He couldn't stop laughing every time he looked at me!

    ROFL snort!

    That was hilarious... I just saw a girl the other day totally decked out for the bar; NOT the gym and wandering around with her water bottle:huh:

    I go the gym right after work; I wear a bit of makeup and I don't bother taking it off beforehand.

    This was great. I had this happen at my old gym but not anymore. I do see some guys barking and checking them selves out though. I just put in my head phones turn my music up and do my thing. Um and if you see me staring dont worry I cant see 5 feet in front of my face with out my glasses, and I dont wear those at the gym :)

    There was a guy in my gym earlier in the week who wore a hoody, beanie and shades!
