Memorable characters from my bare-boned gym

Yesterday I introduced the typical Characters from my bare-boned gym, and today I will go over the memorable ones. You will not want to miss this blog.

Why the pix? Just thought that these folks would like to retain some anonymity. That's all.

  • The chaffing man: The first time I saw him, he was wearing something alternative on the bottom. Care to guess what it was?

    Speedos, and we were in the cardio room in the gym. I asked him for his bottom of choice, and apparently, he chose the speedos to cut down on the chaffing (from the cardio).
    Nowadays, his bottom of choice consists of tights, worn under a pair of shorts. I am not a fan of the 80s, but give me tights any day over speedos.

  • The perfect 10: There is this darling asian girl who works out in the gym. Not sure why she is there, besides to provide motivation for the rest of us.

    Do you want to be like me wearing size 00 clothing? If so, join me in my workout. To add insult to the injury, she's also bloody nice. Go figure.

  • The machine breaker: These type A personality folks seem to be repenting for their sins. How else to explain why they are going 90mph on a stationary bike, elliptical or treadmill. The funny part is, they are usually the ones that are doing them in incorrect poses.
    I am all for a good workout, but you don't have to kill the machines. I have seem machines going out of service after these people are done with them. I think its great that they are doing a PSA on what not to do at the gym.

  • The guy with no sense of smell: I don't think I need to explain this one. It is because of these people, that I move my workout schedule around. They always end up next to you on the machine for some reason.
Do you have these people at your gym as well? Ping me and let me know.
