It's also probalby hard to hold in a fart if you are doing a yoga pose  sometimes, but if you have a chronic problem with farts squeaking out, maybe yoga isn't the sport for you! |

True.. and as it turns out.. probably not the best for anyone else in her class either |

Member 20 LaGrange, Ga | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym I woman that works with me goes to the gym about 6am...2 or 3 times a week. She has to take a shower before going to the gym every morning. She said "I want to feel clean when I sweat". |

Veteran 244 Back of the pack breathing hard | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym I see a guy at my gym (Muscles on top of muscles type) walk around with a gallon milk jug filled with water. I've never seen him lift a thing except that. I never could figure out what's with the jug. Can't drink from fountain? |

Resident Curmudgeon 25290 The Road Back Gold member | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym Stake - 2005-08-12 11:38 AM I used to work out at my former Gym in the late morning, between 9-11, after the morning rush and before the lunch crowd. This is also when the rather attractive Spanish-speaking lady cleans the men's locker room. One Wednesday I was alone in the locker room and had just come out of the sauna. She usually announces her presence, but since I had my headphones on I couldn't hear her. I opened the sauna door and there she was. I expected her to turn away in emabarrassment, but she didn't. Our eyes locked, and I never thought this would happen to me... Dude, it's time to let that subscription to Penthouse Forum lapse... |

Veteran 251 Arlington, VA | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym I always go to the gym for a swim right after work, usually 4:30-5:00 or so. And after almost every swim there is a really annoying guy in the shower who feels he must clean out every last part of his respiratory system before he leaves. It takes him 5 minutes to shower and another 10 to finish all those nasty noises. I have seen a stream of yellow in the shower drain, but I have never looked up to see who had done it. And what thing that is more of an annoyance than anything is how some of the old men in the locker room feel it is neccessary to walk around butt naked and talk to everyone. |

Even worse was the older guy who decided to fall asleep naked on a bench by the main walkway from the guys locker to the pool. I say worse because you have to check to see if he's ok and still breathing rather than turn your head. |

Master 1462 Michigan | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym Denise2003 - 2005-08-12 10:55 AM I have seen: - A gal yakking on her cell while doing crunches. - A guy wearing those themo track suit (shiny black one) in the weight area. - A guy yelling "burn that calorie! come on!" out loud while running a treadmill. - A guy chewing bubblegum while lifting weight. What about yours? Hey I chew gum when I lift sometimes. |

Veteran 290 Denver | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym AT a gym I went to a couple years ago, there was a fellow who was a "regular" in there. His hair was styled in a mullet and he wore those parachute-type pants. The clincher was he also either wore or carried with him one of those huge belts like you'd win at a boxing championship. Carried it or wore it the whole time he was working out. He'd go, do a few reps, then go check himself out in the mirror, then strut around the gym some more. Not sure what he won his prize for but he was sure proud of it! I've see a "too fast treadmill lady" at the rec center from time to time. She cranks up the speed and hangs on for dear life, feet slapping the treadmill so hard you'd think she'd break it. She keeps the pace for a minute or two then has to step off it. Rests for a few then, "THWAP THWAP THWAP" - right back at it. I'm sure she's going to fly one of these days.... |

STOP, I'm crying, this is too funny! *I* was probably the weirdo at the gym last night. Hopped from the stationary bike to the treadmill then back to the bike again, then treadmill, then bike, then treadmill. Probably annoyed the tar out of everyone. At least HERE people understand me! |

Elite 3020 Bay Area, CA | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym My personal favorite was "stairmaster girl" - all coordinated, got a fashion mag open, holding up her entire bodyweight by her hands, and doing the stairmaster like nobody's business. Never was able to figure out if she was getting an actual workout. |

| Master 1728 portland, or | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym The guy in the warm up suit (you know the ones that make the swish, swish sound as he walks by) who spends most of his time wandering around talking, but will occasionally go to the lat machine and set it at 200 pounds. Grab the bar and then jump so that when he comes down he's using all he's got to budge it, then let the bar go so it makes a large crashing sound as the plates fall. Then he's up to swish-swish-swish around the gym some more. Then there's the guy at the pool who comes out of the shower and lays his towel out on the floor in the common area that separates the shower, lavatory area, and lockers and proceeds to do his "core routine" -- naked.  It aint right, it just aint right. scott |

Master 1494 Kingston Ontario | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym There is a lady who sadly I think is anorexic who does the following at the Y: Lays out a bunch of mats in a long line and then does these rolling type situps forever. I have never seen her stop and sometimes it's a half an hour before I leave that area. Just sit-ups her way down and up that line of mats. Makes me depressed looking at her...she needs help I think. Some dude in the Queen's pool wears a mask, snorkel and fins to do laps! |

Expert 1135 Delano, MN | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym I do my swimming laps at a commumity pool during lunch break. I also have a "dud" doing laps with swim fins and a snorkel. He looks to be in his 70's so I figure more power to him. He does look at me like I am nuts when I rush in, do my laps and rush out panting like a whipped dog. |

Elite 2796 Texas | Subject: RE: Strange encounters at the gym We have a guy who looks like Santa Claus (belly, beard, and glasses) and climbs into the hot tub wearing pee-stained tightie whities and a t-shirt. After he gets in and sloshes around a bit, he takes off his shirt and rings it out into the hot tub. Needless to say, I never venture into the hot tub after my lap swimming. I try not to think about the pee in the pool, but the hot tub is a lot smaller, not so hot after all, and questionably chlorinated. The guy with flippers and snorkel is at my pool every week too. |
