    The girl at the front desk knows your card number by heart.
    You keep you workout gear in the car!
    You feel guilty if you miss one day!
    Your family thinks you've gone overboard.

    Not a gymrat, but definitley a fitness rat!

    The only clothes that seem to circulate through the laundry are my work uniforms and work out clothes.

    Uh oh I fit into 3/5 of the categories. It's my gym at work and rarely anyone talks to each other they actually try to avoid you. But OMG I will wash my favorite gym clothes twice a week to wear them again!

    ...When you help spot random strangers who are lifting, just so you can encourage them to get the hell off so you can have the bench all to yourself.

    ...When you have a dedicated section at the gym that you routinely hit on specific days and throw a *kitten* fit when some random yahoo is on your machine.

    ...When you mentally assess the incorrect form of people performing their routines.

    ...When you go so much that the staff starts asking if you want to become an employee.

    You might be a gym rat if...even your children start crying when they think they won't see their friends in the play room at the gym. This happened today, left the house for the gym got part way and realized I didn't have my phone which has the music so turned around and went back. I pull in the driveway and open the garage and my youngest starts crying "I wanna go to exercise"! It took a minute to assure her that yes we are going I just forgot something.

    Also guilty of having favorite workout clothes, it's about all I wash of mine in the laundry. I suffer withdraw symptoms when I'm not there and yes most trainers know me by name and the girl at the front desk too...oh well as far as vices go this is a good one to have.
