    1. To the pretty blonde with the amazing hair... that she keeps fiddling with: Yes, your hair looks fine.
    2. To the cardio bunnies that spend hours and hours on the dreadmill: If you have to hold on so you don't fall off, the incline is too much for you
    3. To that guy I see every day with the massive chest and arms...: Great work. But about the chicken legs... DONT SKIP LEG DAY... again.

    That is all. for today.

    ^this and to that same chicken legged dude....WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR NECK? How do you eat, with no neck??! :huh: (personal opinion = not attractive/impressive)

    To the lady texting/FB while doing leg curls machine. If you are able to hold your phone, concentrate on a message, and do leg curls at the same time, you should consider going a little heavier.

    To the friend of the aforementioned leg curl lady. Please pay attention to your form. You are chatting it up with your 10lb weights, and yes, you look cute, but please don't throw your back out!

    Dear person who is waiting for 10 minutes to get that parking spot upfront, holding up the flow of traffic. You are at the gym....nuff said.

    The lady that brings her 4 year old to a Zumba class packed with 50+ people. Stop! That poor baby is going to get trampled one of these days. The gym staff shouldn't have to tell you every week to take him to child watch.

    Girls who look like they had a professional make-up artist do their make-up prior to their gym session. I actually see them apply make-up in the locker room. Don't even break a sweat, come to gym to take a selfie.

    Guilty, but why should you care? I hit it hard every day.

    I go to the gym at my Alma Mater... Therefore it's jam packed with frat boy wannabes and girls whose shorts barely cover thier *kitten*.
    First of all... Muscles do not look like that in a "resting position" stop flexing while you walk. We get it Papa Bird, you've got a big chest!
    Second of all... WORK OUT. I can't tell you how many people stand around and talk for the entire time I'm there.

    Wow, I've been thinking about re-joining a gym so I can lift heavier, but after reading these think I'll stay home and workout with the dog.

    Is it really necessary to grunt that loudly???

    Now I did this today during my deadlifts and yes, it was necessary to get that last rep up :drinker:

    I second this. Especially during squats and deadlifts. In fact, I snort ammonia, scream, slap myself in the face, cuss, throw chalk everywhere and turn Hatebreed up to insane levels of volume while doing squats and deadlifts so if all y'all heard was a grunt then consider yourselves lucky. I do train in my garage though lol.

    That's sad to hear. Guess they are there just to get a date.

    This ^^^ I haven't been in a gym in 9 years… and definitely NOT going back. A bench in the back yard is just fine. ;-)

    I only work out at home, never at a gym because I'm intimidated by it. Now I am certain I'll never go. People really ARE watching and judging everyone else.

    Most people don't really bother me.

    However, sometimes girls come in all made up and looking cute. I'm not sure why, because if they are REALLY going to work out, it means they will sweat and get their hair messy. My hair always feels crappy and sweaty after exercising.

    Yes they are and yes we do, just like in every single other situation in life. Our brains analyze data and assess situations (make judgments) every second of the time we are awake. I'm not sure why people find that offensive or try to pretend like it isn't happening.

    If all you are going to do is sit on the machine and play on your phone, please move on I really need to use that machine....

    Haha we're all thinking it! The girls wearing tons of makeup prancing around, afraid to break a nail always make me laugh! As well as the people on their cell phones. If you're just out for a leisurely stroll to blab on the phone for an hour, do it elsewhere! Sometime looking to run a 10K could use that treadmill...

    Oh, and one of my favorites is the girls in the locker room - always talking about how they're working out SO hard to loose weight but aren't seeing results. Maybe you'd get better results if you didn't chow down on that 300 calorie "energy" bar before your low key yoga class!

    Ah even typing it feels good! Thanks for the laugh :)

    the person on the other treadmill: stop looking how much calories I burned and how fast I am going. It´s annoying. Just focus on your own treadmill. Thanks

    To my gym I would simply say remove your TV's. They aren't helping anybody. Plus soap operas are not motivating.

    I want to tell this certain girl to stop trying to train people without the correct education she also lies to everybody saying she lost all of her 80+ lbs on her own when really she got gastric bypass! It's absurd and offesnisive to people who are actually working hard and doing it on their own giant SMH!

    Amen to that. Plus most gyms are overpriced anyway.
