    No joke, last week lady was on the stationary bike and was knitting a blanket. :huh:

    One morning at the gym I was waiting to use one of the recumbent bikes and gave up because it was clearly ladies social hour. I'm surprised they were also knitting.

    resting between sets, I glanced over toward the elliptical's, old - old man in the very front row, was pumping his fist in the air , rapidly and repeatedly, he then made a fiddle sawing motion , and reverted back to fist pumping....never lost his stride or pace ...wanna know what he was listening to... . he was having a large time.

    Older gentleman, probably in his 60's, works out in a white tank top, white training bra, and hot pink yoga pants. I've seen him a few times.

    It's always interesting to watch people on the ellipticals.

    The women singing at the top of voice to every song on her IPod & doing the actions while on the bicycles for an hour.

    OMG are you at my gym?? I do this ALL the time without even realizing I'm doing it that's how zoned I can get!!!

    I do this at times except I mouth the words, don't sing out loud and i'm on the treadmill. I especially do it if it's been an emotional day and a song comes on that means a LOT or is perfect for the situation. Some guys saw me this one day and I saw through the reflection of the window they were totally ragging on me. Tough crap! I had just been through a LIFE CHANGING event, they were childish and i was NOT singing out loud, just mouthing the words, maybe using my arms w/the music while getting my workout in.

    One time while I was squatting there was a lady on the treadmill watching this other lady checking out another lady on the elliptical drinking her coffee. It was very confusing.

    At my part-time job at a coffeehouse, I served a coffee to a woman who was dressed like she was going to the gym. I asked if she was and she replied, "Yes I am. I'm going to use the elliptical while drinking my coffee and people-watching."

    Years ago, I repeatedly encountered a strange, seemingly harmless man walking on the treadmill while very passionately conducting his invisible orchestra. There wasn’t any music playing (no radio, no earbuds). Occasionally he would mutter or point his invisible baton at other people (real or imaginary) to cue them.

    I don't know what I was thinking (I wasn't), so one day I raised my imaginary violin on cue and started “playing” along… He looked as if he were about to explode with joy. I “played” for a few bars and then bowed out... and then left.

    So, I’m probably going to hell for encouraging the delusions of a mentally ill person…Aaaand then I couldn't use the treadmills anymore when he was there because, well... he kept trying to cue me for solos. :ohwell:

    Hey I've had to do this, because I was going to take a shower after my workout but then the #2 urge suddenly arrived, so I went to the stall first. No newspaper though.

    There is a lady (late 50's) that goes to my gym and gets on the treadmill. She is decked out in perfect matching running gear, head and wrist sweat bands, stop watch, huge gym bag. ear buds, arm band with her i-phone, etc. She will walk for 60 minutes at the slowest pace the treadmill will go. She litterally walks faster off the treadmill. I've never seen anyone walk that slow (without a walker). When she gets off the treadmill, she walks as fast as I do.

    Well, I was in my gym w/ my personal trainer and 8 other guys (ya, I didn't care) and I was working out the hardest of them all.... pumping 30lbs in each hand while these guys would use a machine, do a rep, then jump onto something else... My PT was like, "you frek'n are killing these guys"... YUP! Now thats messed up..LOL
