Things you see at the Gym

While at power class 2 weeks back, the girl in front of me was missing her undies and when she bent over the whole back row could see through her spandex straight between the crack...it was BAD!

LOL! These posts absolutely cracked me up! Especially because I've been guilty of a few of them. I work out at a hospital's fitness and therapy center, so we have a lot of people at all different fitness levels there and you never know what you'll see. For the most part it's really nice because people aren't too critical and there's always people in worse shape then me so I don't have to be self-conscience.

I do show up after work a lot of time with very little time to change so I'm in full make up. Also I live an hour away from the gym so if I forget to fully pack my gym bag, I just do the best I can. sometimes that requires me to work out in jeans or whatever I have on. Last week I forgot my shoes, but one of the instructors that was working the desk let me use her new shoes. I thought that was super sweet of her, but they know how far I drive!

I'm pretty tolerant of everything and I want EVERYONE to work out so I try and be supportive, but it is that time of year when classes fill up fast and it's very frustrating when those that are only there to try and fulfill their New Year's Resolutions don't finish class and don't try when they could have let someone else in.

Also there are 2 ladies that only do part of the class and then stand in the back chatting the rest of the hour and ignore everything the instructor is doing...and they are load so it's very distracting! WTH!

oh and camel toe, like level 10 cameltoe mens and womens, lol

I always shake my head a bit when I see "big girls" (my size, 220+) who get on the treadmill for 10 minutes then go buy a gatorade and leave. And I see them do it 4 days a week.

Seriously, who are you kidding?

Apparently themselves.

Dudes that constantly admire themselves in the mirrors of the weight area. Every time they pass the mirror it's...pause, flex...

They are like people who pick their noses while driving... WE CAN SEE YOU!

LMAO! :laugh: There is one guy at my gym that does this nonstop. He will lift the bar like 3 times and drop it, then flex and feel his arms, then look to see who is looking at him. I crack up every time. and the girls that come to the gym in a FULL face of make-up and are constantly looking around to see who is there, not really working out, then the annoying girl who has headphones on but starts singing aloud because she thinks she has a voice,, ... but...she DOESN'T! :noway:

Depends if they are stretching and pumping between sets to induce extra blood into the muscle and stretch the muscle facisa further and thus enable extra grow or.....

..just staring in the mirror :happy: :laugh:

FWIW I compete and the closer to the show I WILL openly pose in the mirror to practice my posing. Nowhere will you get a mirror that goes floor to ceiling that will show you off clearly and so you can inspect and practice and improve the positioning of the muscle being held in the set pose.

You wouldn't be a concert musician and not practice your set for weeks on end before the show/concert, would you?

I meant to post when I got back from the gym yesterday. Saw something odd... one of the trainers was in the gym doing her workout in her workout clothes. She had a tiny gray tank top, tiny black spandex shorts, and then was wearing what looked like gray wool legwarmers from her knee all the way down to the heel of her tennis shoes. Why would you cover your shins when you're hardly wearing any clothing at all? Shins get cold during your workout?

People working out in jeans ALWAYS makes me laugh.

I once saw a woman working out in jeggings. That's right, jean colored leggings.

Me too! I also saw someone working out in tank, shorts and cowboy boots. Really?

my fav so far has been the geeky engineer (no letters or cards please, i'm married to one so i can say that) using the bike dressed in his work clothes (dockers and all, even the tie) using the handle bars to hold his laptop while he works on it (and yes, it's work, iv'e looked)

someone who looked like they were asleep on a bike.. but they were still pedalling. mind blown.

OMG!!!!! I just realized I AM A LIP SYNCer......I am sooo #LAME

Don't feel too badly about this one. I've done it from time to time myself....although, it's usually when I've hit a "wall" in my cardio routine, and I need a mental distraction to help me ignore the pain and fatigue. Concentrating on the lyrics of whatever song is playing over the radio seems to be the best distraction for me.
