  • 11. Gyms have two types of members: Members who wipe down the machines after using them, and the worst people in the universe.

    7. Yes, every gym has an overenthusiastic spinning instructor who hasn't bought a record since "Walking on Sunshine."

    Wow thanks I really needed that...

    Although with the wiping down machines one I try but it seems at least once every time I go I will get off the machine and go to get a paper towel with sanitizer (takes like a minute since they have 5 stations over a not very big gym) and someone is getting on the machine! If they can't be patient and wait for me to clean it I don't feel bad!

    I really liked the one about the gym being like a marriage.

    hahahahaha oh my god, everyone at my gym right now. so hilarious.
