This segment of my blog relates to my experience of the gym. Now I’m not a gym nut or a health freak. I love a Big Mac and the only reason I drink semi skimmed milk is because I like the colour green.
I joined the gym before Christmas and recently after a mass of flus, colds and other general nasties I’m back.
Now there are literally 4 types of people who go to the gym.
Small children who go in packs of 5 and they all watch while one of them uses a machine.
The gym nuts. They’ll be there long before you arrive and long after you leave. They are basically walking, talking gym furniture.
The “I’m here for health reasons but I don’t want to be here so I’ll look utterly depressed with even the slightest movement on every machine” people.
And last but not least the average joes. People who go down every now and then do about half hour and then think “yeah I’ve warranted eating maccy d’s for next month of my life.”
It’s these people who I find funny and by observation you really see some interesting things. Especially the pumped up 5ft 3 gym instructor who wears shirts designed for an infant and spends more hours of the day standing by the cross trainer giving evils to anyone bigger than him and drooling at every woman in the place. It’s like being paid to perv and create an atmosphere, the gym must feel an unimaginable amount of pride in this employee.
I have plenty more stories and the more I go the more ill spot and the more you’ll be informed.
I want anyone not going to a gym to know just how entertaining people watching at the gym can be =]
Thanks for reading
Hello! I’ve been reading your site for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Houston Tx! Just wanted to tell you keep up the great work!
Well Thankyou very much. Is there any particular topic you would like me to write about?
Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after going through some of the articles I realized it’s new to me.
Nonetheless, I’m definitely happy I came across it and I’ll be book-marking it
and checking back often!
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Ill try and keep up the level of entertainment as I continue
People-watching is one of my favourite gym activities! I’d like to add the category of girls who turn up with a full face of make up and never break a sweat. Why bother?!
Now they are a completely different kettle of fish. These are people who don’t need the gym who use the gym so they can feel good when they tell people they go to a gym. Or it’s so they don’t have to lie to people on dating sites when the awkwardly tick the box in the interest section marked **gym**.
Again these, at least in my gyms case tend to be the ones acting like gym furniture who are always there. But a definite sub category can be made for the foundation drenched ladies of the gym.
