#1 -1 Squirt (Spritz) Rule: If you absolutely need to spray cologne or perfume on before you come please abide by the 1 squirt rule. Seriously boys, despite what the commercials say we don't like AXE body spray THAT much. And the same goes for the girls. I don't enjoy choking on (or tasting) Chanel No.5 in the middle of set. If I am going to drop the weights on my toe I would rather it be for a valid reason other than getting a mouthful of poooofume in my mouthy.
#2 - Laundry At LEAST Once A Week Rule: This one is done mostly by guys at my gym, but please CHANGE YOUR GYM CLOTHES! I understand that many of you may be single & not have a female to keep you in check & wash your clothes appropriately, but wash the gym clothes at least once a week. And if you can't find a laundry mat in your neighbourhood than change your clothes so the workout you did 3 weeks ago isn't following you around. You may have
#3 - Keep Grunting/Screaming/Singing to Yourself at a Minimum: To the guys that think grunting and screaming while lifting will help them with those 25 lb dumbbells - get over yourself! Okay, I understand that sometimes a small grunt or sound may come from you while lifting heavy weights, but doing it every single time to get attention doesn't make us think you are "macho." Yes, it gets our attention & we may look at you, but not in a good way. You seriously scare us!
And now onto the singing....I don't care if you are playing Britney on your iPod. No song is THAT good that you need to sing out loud. To the whole gym. While dancing across the gym floor.
#4 - Quit Staring!!!: All the creepy old guys, whose only form of exercise is oggling over the ladies on the cardio equipment, should be put in a glass room to do their cardio. Than everyone can stare at them & make creepy faces. We really don't appreciate spectators while we are sweating buckets. And no old man should find it that attractive that my once light blue shirt has now turned a nice shade of sweaty all over dark blue.
#5 - New Years Resolutions: Gym memberships should triple in price from December 26th through to February 1st. I think we all know who we are trying to weed out here.....
As most people's New Years starts with a resolution "To lose weight" or "Work out more" mine becomes "to not be charged with physical assault" on those people.
#6 - Clean Up After Yourself: Wipe down the machines and benches after you are done using them & put your weights away. Enough said....
# 7 - Hot Men: If you look like this....

Your monthly membership fees should be waived. I don't think anyone is going to complain about this rule!
Any gym pet peeves you have? Or rules you think should be implemented?
Haha, I agree with almost all of those! But sometimes you can't help but grunt or scream if you're really pushing yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteMy gym pet peeves? Fanny packs, men who bench without underwear under their shorts, and diet soda on a cardio machine. Oh! And spitting on the gym floor. WTF?! I have literally seen all of those things.
