I thought it might be fun to post our humorous and comical gym experiences I am sure we ALL have had! 
You know.. like the one where you realize you've been using that particular weight lifting machine backwards this whole time. lol
Anyhow.. my latest came on Monday. There was a older gentlemen, I'd guess in his early 70's working out at the gym. He has quite a bit of strength on him! When I was living he approached me and asked me what my device monitored (my ipod!) "did it tell me to keep going? did it monitor my heart?" (mind you all this is said in the cutest little accent! ) So I responded that No it was what played my music. "Oh I see that thing in your ear plays music, I thought it was someone telling you to work harder, push harder, go faster" I laughed and in response said "I could use someone doing that to me!!" And he says "Oh no no, you don't need to lose much weight, a woman needs a little 'here and there' on her!" I wanted to die laughing!! It was quite cute! So now I call him my boyfriend from the gym!
My FH (Sid) and I have given members nick names at the gym, people we're not acquainted to but are quirky individuals that frequent the gym. One is a young man that is running the treadmill each time, he never warms up and hits the thing going at the speed of 8.0 for an hour!!! He's in great shape obviously, but he thumps his feet down hard on the treadmill.. Aka Thumper!
His g/f who runs along side him, is small and dainty, and tends to wear sweats with the word PINK labeled across the butt. aka.. PINKY!
Then there is Crazy Eyes/Blue Shorts. A young guy who is in, and heavily hitting the cardio machine like a mad man. Always wears blue shorts, days in a row..the same baby blue shorts! I've caught his eye once or twice and he looks at me with these wide bugg eyed gaze and he looks quite crazed ! Its kind of creepy!
So anyhow. hope that gave someone a laugh or two this morning!!!
