    My husband got the walking farts once. IT was funny. He was pretty embarrassed.
    We do have a guy who wears biking pants all the time. Once in a while he wear the bobby brown pants too. It is horrible when is wears the white ones and he is doing leg presses. It is not a pretty sight.

    The walking farts? We call those "machine gun farts"...my brother gets them when he laughs really hard. It's like being attacked by an assault rifle.

    im so glad i go to curves all women gym its great doesnt have that gym feel its great and when i go im usualy one of the last there maybe 3 others there. actualy they almost run their clocks by me im there just about same time each night i go and i start on the same machine.
    so i guess im the funny thing at the gym oh and i keep turning up with curves merchindise that mom has gotten me from her gym in sydney its awsome they are all jealous of me (ok we are a new gym just over a year old)

    they probably laugh at me at the pool too thinking that fat chick what is she doing here (ok thats just my lack of self confidence coming through) i still go though and the more i go the better i get at ignoring the looks at least im doing something.

    One day, the young woman on the elliptical ahead of me wore the wrong underwear.....every 20 seconds or so she would reach behind her and tug on the wedgie!! :noway:

    I also love the ones who jack up the incline on the treadmill, then hold onto the bar and lean waaaayyy back while walking, or basically suspend themselves above the moving belt with their arms!......just 'cuz the computers SAYS it's burning more calories that way doesn't mean it's actually working for ya!! :laugh:

    Ditto to that!! I have a treadmill and a jumprope in the basement and a pilates video in the DVD player, so the only person I have to smell or see is myself!! Sometimes I think the gym environment is like a meat market!

    I don't know about anyone else, but I think I've definitely done some of these before.
    All the fruit in my diet gives me gas sometimes, sorry old guy next to me on the elliptical! :tongue:
    I reuse my gym shorts too, but wash them when they get odiforous, everything else is clean, and I wear deodorant.
    I know I make some funny faces too, but that all goes with working out hard.
    No man dates though. Like someone else said, I have plenty of other things to do besides hang out at the gym.
    I see them quite a bit though, since I go to a pretty "hard core" gym. Almost 70% of the people there have a "bro-lationship" going on.

    As for a funny story myself.
    I pulled in to the gym parking lot and there was a "rather large" person in her mini van snacking on (seriously downing) some burger king, 10 minutes later she comes in the gym door, hits the stationary bike for 15 minutes and leaves for the day. Now THATS a work out.

    OMG! I'm that girl!

    I've worn the wrong undies, and had to "remove" them. Worn the wrong shorts and had to pull them up. Dropped my mp3 player on the treadmill. Had the walking farts when I ate too many veggie. I wear makeup when I work out (I work out during my lunch break). I read when I work out (homework on the elliptical). I'm also the girl that went out for Margaritas after my work out with the girls.

    But whatever! I'm going to look good in a bathing suit this summer and in Cancun :drinker:

    I think all of us are guilty of some of the issues..espcially the walking farts. I mean a balanced diet says 5-9 servings of fruits & veggies and at least 3 servings of whole grains.HELLO! Do I have to say gas factory?! "man dates" are really annoying where I go to the fitness center. We only have a curves and I don't care for their workout (too structured) so I joined the fitness center at the hospital's physical therapy department. It's pretty small and some of the weight machines are behind the treadmills and bikes. Lately there has been on "couple" on a man date every day I go right behind me while I'm on the bike. The worst part is that I alway feel self-conscious because of my large size when someone is behind me while I'm working out.

    As for funny, I went to the gym one day after a looooong break (6 months) and hopped on the treadmill, didn't look because I knew exactly how many beeps to make 4mph on the speed button. Unfortunately, I must have miscounted because the treadmill started and I flew off backwards and face down. I had accidently set it at 10mph!:blushing:

    On Earth Day, I bought a shirt that said, "Conserve gas....toot into a jar!"

    :laugh:

    I'm glad I don't have that problem. Veggies and beans don't seem to have that effect on me, and I bet those around me are thankful.
