Holding On
If you are holding on to the treadmill or stepper you are cheating yourself. I'm terrible for holding onto the stepper when I get tired so I developed my own method of punishment. For every time I hold on I do 30 seconds with my hands held behind my head, it's certainly helped me break my bad habit.
If you are holding onto the treadmill when walking on an incline it's reversing the good effects of the incline. Instead drop the speed and go for it. I often slap my friends hands when I catch them holding on, and actually now I think about it I reckon the gym staff should all be equip with sticks to give you a wack when they see you doing it!
Sweaty Machines & Benches
Why would you walk away without wiping your body fluid off? I don't need your DNA on me thank you please. JUST.GONNAE.NO.DO.THAT!
Boys in the Women's Changing Rooms
If you know what boobs are, you shouldn't be there. Parents please, for the love of god, make your little perverts change in the mens changing room. If they are old enough to stare at my boobs, they are old enough to dress themselves!!
Gym Cafe Menus
UK gyms seem to have not cottoned on that offering brownies, panini's and the sort is kinda defeating the purpose. Its like an assault course just to get out the gym without a muffin in my hand! Wouldn't it be nice if at least the basics were on offer - sweet potato, chicken, brown rice, cod...... nup? Never mind, I'll bring my own.....
Stealing My Equipment
I cannot tell you how many times this has happened to me. I'm super setting - turn around and someone has already jumped into my spot. I'm a fan of working in but hijacking I am NOT! The ladies do this too but I have to say men are the worst for it. And surprisingly not the big boys but just your regular Joe. It's embarrassing for me to reclaim my spot back, it's embarrassing for you too. Sometimes I have just shrugged it off and this has attracted the attention of one of the big boys who have defended my honour. See... embarrassing all round! So please just don't do it - oh and if you throw my jumper onto the floor, we will be heading for a falling out....
This leads me on to my final bug bear.
Reserving
We ain't in Spain, this isn't some cheap hotel. So putting your shit on a piece of equipment and sodding off for 10 minutes to talk to your mate is not allowed!
Ahhhhhhh..... that feels better!
Love

ReplyDeletePeople who put a towel over the shower door to 'reserve' the shower then go back to their bench to undress will promptly find their towel on the floor and me singing in the suds....
