Gym: New Year
It’s a new year, everyone has made their new years resolutions and, inevitably, getting fit and loosing weight features high in the list. This is quite evident in the number of people at the gym today, however, I have a few hints and tips for you:
- Parking in the disabled spot when you’re clearly not disabled to save yourself a walk to the door of a gym is ironic on so many levels I can’t even get my head round it.
- Deodorant is not a substitute for a shower after a workout, no matter how much you use.
- Your body is not that great. OK, for a 50 year old it possibly looks good, but I really don’t want to have you prancing and strutting around the changing rooms stark nakedĀ so we all get an eyeful. My eyes! Ze goggles, zey do nuthink!
- You don’t need to use the entirety of the bench to get changed. Leave some space for others.
- Pissing in the showers is not funny. Not even slightly. Grow up, learn how to use a toilet or wear a nappy.
- Bragging about pissing in the shower just makes us realise what an arse you are. See above.
I give you… two weeks before you start making excuses not to go and a month before you stop going all together ![]()




I’ve seen the same issue with the great unwashed suddenly arriving at the gym. My trainer is also somewhat narked about it. While my sessions at before dawn remain relatively unaffected it seems those that choose to train in the early evening are basicaly wasting their money as the trainers can’t get the the machines that they want their clients on as they are being blocked by people with no idea how to use them.
It seems this is however an anual issue and will be complete as you suggest by the end of the month with a particular lull in the spring where there are few requirements to removing clothing in public.
Prancing around the changing room stark naked is a deity granted right and a way of affirming that I don’t care what you think about my current form, consider yourself blessed for my sharing with you
No. There will be no sharing! *shudder*
LOL! this made me laugh.
‘learn how to use a toilet or wear a nappy.’
I don’t use the gym showers. You never know what you’ll catch on your feet - also people pee in them
I get a showered at home. Is that so wrong? If not washing in the gym is wrong - I don’t wanna be right!
I’m normally so drenched in sweat by the time I’ve finished I really need a shower, plus you have to use the showers if you want to go swimming. If you’re going straight home then I guess it’s OK, but having a conversation about ‘fancy a pint?’ with your mate while applying half a can of deoderant is not on.
