Gym Observations

Spending about 12 hours a week at the gym means I come across some pretty strange things. Some of them are just too good and I end up sharing them on Twitter but here are the rest of the slightly obscure & funny things I've observed at the gym:

• Guys like to stand around in pacts and pretend to spot each other.
• Some people don't see the gym as a place to work out, they see it as a place to score a date or just make out.
• Grey is the worst shade to wear, sweat patch central.
• Fake eyelashes are really an odd thing to wear to the gym at 9am.
• Men like to wear really short shorts.
• They also gossip like there is no tomorrow.
• There is no dignified way to use a PowerPlate.
• You can always tell who follows Millie Mac's Instagram and is trying to recreate her workouts.
• Some people like to use the mats as a place to just lay down a while, myself included.
• Mondays are day at the gym where people lose their minds because they've obviously indulged at the weekend.
• Seeing girls wear their long hair down and then going on the treadmill and wondering how long it is till they've got a face full of hair and fall over.
• There are men who grunt so loudly it makes you jump even through your headphones.
• Some people forget that they are at the gym and start singing along to their iPod.
• Denim is not appropriate to wear in the gym, serious chaffing no?

and the people who I will never forget:

• The guy who rode around on his friends back for three laps around the gym.
• The girl who looked like she was trying to re-create the OK GO video on the treadmill.
• The old man who asked me to marry him.
• The woman who wore her sunglasses for her entire workout.
• Finally the girl who walked straight into a pole and possibly gave her self a concussion when she was looking at herself in the mirror.
