Leaving the gym recently, I started telling Mike about all of the issues I have with not only our new gym, but with many people who go there.
I should say that I am one of the most positive people I know, and that I have always tried to write positive blog posts. After my most recent gym visit I just had to vent.
I love being back in the gym and working out. I feel better physically and mentally.
But come on!
Please put the weights away. There is no one following you around the gym cleaning up after you. It's just common courtesy.
With limited equipment, if you do not want to share or let someone work in, please purchase your own equipment and stay home.
For goodness sake, don't unload with your "bro" in the sauna about what a bitch your girlfriend, wife or one night stand is. I honestly don't think anyone cares to hear it.
Yes, you are a gym god. You have the best body ever, in the whole world. So what.
Would it kill you to be kind to other folks in the gym?
For all of you who go to the gym, do your thing without disrespecting others or maybe even being nice to someone, thank you.
Not all of us know everything there is to know. Not all of us are there to look good. I want to be as fit as possible, and going to the gym makes that a lot easier for me.
