Newsweek has an article up about gym faux-pas and list nine horror stories from gym owners and management. Luckily, I haven’t done any of those, except maybe once got lost in my iPod and belted out the first verse of “Baby Got Back.”
Other annoyances that weren’t included are:
- guy who walks around a lot and fixes his shirt in the mirror
- Chatty Cathys who sit in front of the one woman actually working out on a bike and talk about all their shoe, kids, husband and house problems
- People who drink from the water fountain like a Saint Bernard and let water enter mouth, run out and continue to lap it up…these are the people who then smile as they step away from the water fountain as if they’re being polite or doing you a favor.
Anyway, I had a fun time at the gym last night and thought I’d share my thoughts. If anyone actually reads this thing, leave yours.

The worst I have seen is a man drying his sweaty socks, with a hair dryer in a locker room. He stuck the hair dyer in the sock and turned it on. Unbelievable.
