Sparrow=Ya but if he was her trainer, he must've told her to do that exercise.
yeah, maybe so but he acted embarrassed about it. he wasn't even watching her do it, just looked nervous and fidgetty. plus hes a very reputable trainer in our gym. why would he tell her to do that? It was dangerous and meaningless, and very dorky

There's this girl at my gym, blond, very pretty-young of course, between 19-21. I've never seen her actually do anything! I kid you not, I always see her walking around, going up the stairs, then coming down.
Nine times out of 10 she's wearing the same thing and I just wonder how long she's there and if she actually gets on anything...

Well, this isn't necessarily funny (actually it's irritating to me) - when I'm doing my time on the elliptical it's not uncommon for a woman (or man) with a strong perfume or other scent to get on the one next to me. I'm already gasping for air from the dang elliptical, but that just drives me nuts.
To fill in - I work out at the corporate wellness center, and where I work the majority of employees are women. Not singling the gals out - just saying that's the way the numbers come out.

i got one...the other day i was in there, and this girl walks in: booty shorts which are totally showing her cheeks, knee highs, hair done up, make up done up, and on her cell phone...she did the treadmill for like 15 minutes, while talking on the phone abnoxiously loud the whole time, and then left...lol it was the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen...it beats the girl that comes to work out in flip flops. lol
Not only peoples actions, but sometimes peoples conversations are also funny. I dont wear headphones while working out, so sometimes Ill be next to the trio of fellow weight lifters and here some funny stuff. The one that made me laugh really hard was when when guy 1 says to guys 2 & 3 "My friend was telling me about this pill/powder you take that eliminates all the fat in your body." I couldnt help but laugh out loud.
Today I was almost thrown out for rolling round in laughter for so long I was distracting others - a guy came up to his mate while I was on treadmill (next to his mate) and said to him "I just benched 1,800kgs" - I looked across thinking how in gods name is that possible - and his mate laughed and said "well I did 2,000".
After a bit of time I asked him how he managed to work this out - and his reply:
"Oh pretty easy - I lifted the 40kg 50 times - 40 x 50 is 2000, so I benched 2000" - I couldnt help but laugh - fell off the treadmill whilst doing so

A bit off topic but this is like a mechanic shop saying they have 60 years experience when what they have is 6 mechanics with 10 years each. Not quite the same thing in my book. If this is the case then today I benched 5850lbs. or 150lbs x 13 reps x 3 set. Damn I'm strong

omg.... omg.... I spit on my computer screen from laughing...These are seriously great.. I love every single one of you !!!
I HATE when people put on WAY too much cologne/cheap perfume AND come and work out next to me on a cardio machine... I seroiusly can't breathe and it is soo irritating... AND I HATE when people let the plates bang against each other during every rep....and cell phone talkers/bench sitters....and chicks who put on WAY too much makeup, hoop earings to go "workout" (i.e. 2mph on treadmill, 3lb. curls, crunches, walk around..leave)..... WHEW! Thats all not funny..just annoying..maybe I am too anal??
I hope I don't offend any people who go to 24hr fitness, but the one by campus UT Austin, is mostly for the "pretty danty" people.
I had a free trial there so I thought I'd try it out. I decided to get on the elliptical first and this girl comes in wearing VS Pink pants, and a matching top. changes the tv channel three times, and then gets on the phone. She was there for 30mins and 25 of that was yapping and channel changing, it blows my mind that daddy pays for her to go some where to watch tv and talk on the phone.
The night, I left to go join Golds lol

This was as funny as it was sweet. There is a creche at my gym and, while I was doing my cardio earlier, a little girl (can't have been older than about 4) had somehow found her way into the cardio room and went from person to person simply saying hello. lol
She was rounded up pretty quickly and I know that she shouldn't have been in there but, it was really, really funny.

here's one: theres a barbell curl machine at school gym and you pick up the ez curl bar (lol) from the rack at about knee hight then curl it up(it is a cable resistance). you can also put the curl bar on a cable at about eye height and do tricep pull downs. The bar was on the tri pull down mode and i saw a kid approach the machine. He sat down on the barbell curl rack(ouch!) and grabbed the tri pulldown bar and started doing a wierd form of lat pulldowns lol. he looked like he was in pain from sitting on the rack. lmao
My friend at I work out later at our school gym and afterwards eat, but the only part of the cafeteria open is the fast food part. We usually get salads or grilled chicken etc...but there's always a bunch of other people from the gym getting fries and bacon cheeseburgers. It happens everyday, same people! I heard one girl once say "It doesn't matter what you eat after a workout, cause your body's still burning calories, so it'll burn them all up."

lol i no its rediculous. My friend eats like 2 pieces of pizza and a hamburger w/brisk for lunch b/c we had p.e. in the morning lol.
...hes skinnier than i am

i think this would be the best place to post this one....today we were on our way to staples and got stopped in the parking lot by a lady who was trying to gain members for the fitness club next door. so we decided that after she gave us our three day free member passes we would at least stop in to check it out....once we were in, this goofy guy took us around...i mean i dont know if goofy was the right word for it, this dude didnt know how to show us around or anything, he just took us into the weight room and was like ok this is the weight room, didnt tell us anything about the gym, didnt show us about any of the machines, and to make matters worse he was nearly making fun of the fact that their gym is so tiny...yet they charge 80$ a month....freaking ridiculous i tell ya!

WOW! 80 bucks a month is outrageous!
The other day at the gym I was squatting, and when I finished this guy asked if I done and I let him on the rack. I asked him if he wanted me to leave the weights on (275) and he said, "No that's too much!'. So I help him remove the plates and leave to go to leg press. After I finish I see him load 5 plates per side on the bar! He tightly straps on his belt and begins to scream even before he gets in the rack. Then he gets under the bar, still screaming so the WHOLE gym can hear him, not just the free weights area, and does about reps of 3 inch squats. Everyone in the gym is staring at him, but I'm the only one laughing.
I'm sure i'm not the first person to see this, but this was my first time seeing it.
Last week I was on the eliptical machine, and in front of me is the row of treadmills. There was a guy running on it. He stepped on the sides of it and pushed the stop button. Immediatly after he did that he turned to walk off and stepped on the treadmill which was still winding down. Of course he lost his balance and fell down and rolled off directly in front of me. I was concerned at first but he got up just as fast he fell down, and walked away not once making eye contact with me or anybody that saw....I began to laugh after that.
