    I am a bit of an introvert so I love taking classes at the gym. That is where I have met some of my longest friendships. Then it makes it easier to get there knowing I am going to see friends.

    Cardio bunnies. They look good and are not in my way.

    arm muscles on my fav eye candies :love:

    The gym is "my" time, whether I bust my butt or not, depending on my mood, it's my definite me time! And did I mention the eye candy? :tongue:

    I love the gym-it is truly my happy time from lifting to spinning to zumba and I love watching myself lift weights and seeing how strong I am (how narcissitic does THAT sound?!?!) but lately it's watching the little old lady who is no bigger than my pinky lift these incredible weights-geez! Seriously, she's 85 years old! I want to be her when I grow up and I told her that. She did say she prefers her aerobic classes but knows she needs to do weights. Dang. (also, incredibly fit guys don't hurt either!)

    i often go to a work gym alone, but i also go to a planet fitness, and when I am there, I like when i catch people trying to look without getting caught. And then, later on, watch them copy what I am doing. I don't correct people in the gym, It's not my job, but I will on occasion be near somone, and properly execute whatever it is they are trying to do. So when that sideways suggestion takes hold, It is a good feeling. And at PF, there are tons of people doing god know's what in that weight area...............

    people kind enough to accept that i was on that equipment first instead of arguing as though they are entitled to it because i went to get some water.

    Us cardio bunnies really enjoy the guys who are picking stuff up and putting it back down! You look great and aren't taking up an elliptical or treadmill that I want! :)

    Im a lady with a bf and straight, but im going to have to say yoga pants too! When a really fit girl is confidently wearing them and a cuts shirt, i think to myself: Damn she looks good, someday that will be me!

    THIS!!! It motivates me to run for that extra kilometer.. thinking to myself I can't wait to have an *kitten* like hers!!!

    Mine is disgusting but I love when the sweat starts to drip off my face. Also, being in the gym and watching numerous people come in and leave looking like they're about to die while i'm still going strong :)

    they have a problem with people that make a lot of noise, there is a big difference between volume and intensity. While i don't agree with their stereotyping of bodybuilders, i do like their judgement free philosophy, even though they directly contradict it by openly judging bodybuilders and mocking them in their commercials...............

    So true about the commercials lol. I'm a member at pf and personally I'm not a fan but for the price it is meeting my needs and close to home.

    I don't know why, but I love after running a couple miles on the treadmill, when I get off I can see my sweat dropping off my stomach and back. It's a great feeling!

    Me too. On Stairmaster days I'll lose a pound sweating my *kitten* off. It's awesome.
