It would PISS me off...I always thought, "good for you!" and how admirable it was that they were at a gym - trying to get healthier...

Of course - I'd get bad looks too - because I wasn't hot enough to go to my gym Apparently - if you're not a size 0 and don't wear full make-up AND have your hair done - you no longer belong in a gym. It's ok for guys - they can be as gross and nasty as they want - women still have to look pretty and smell nice - even while working out

I HATE the gym for these reasons.

You know what else I hate at gyms? People who talk on their cell phones while "working out" I'm sorry but if you're able to blab on and on about what so and so did the night befor e- you're NOT working out. Take social hour somewhere else.

I now work out at my apartment complex gym which is actually quite nice for an apartment complex - full free-weights set and every machine I need And it's usually empty....which I love.

ooh, your gym sounds nice. an empty gym is a happy gym.

dude, i've noticed people on cell phones at my gym ... i'm like, are you serious??? that's just gonna get me started on a whole other tangent, which is that no one in our society likes to be alone anymore. people either go to the gym together or talk on the phone while working out or walk to the gym while talking to someone, etc, etc, etc. it drives me crazy because i like to be alone a lot and nobody gets it. but as i said ... that's a whooole new can o' worms.

but yeah, gym rats are bitches. i'm not going there to be social, i'm going there to get healthy ... so shove it, bitches.
