If you could say one thing to someone at the gym
What would it be?
Would it be to one person or a group or ALL?
Do you find yourself biting your tongue because someone is being a complete idiot and you'd like to tell them they are going to get hurt or injure someone else doing what they are doing?

to the group of men ( usually 4- 5 ) that are hogging the squat rack and doing presses or curls and "spotting" each other, but mostly talking - lift or get out of the rack so others can use it. - to these same men - if you can't do the full range of motion because the weight is too heavy you aren't benefiting

Again to the pizza boys I find myself wanting to say You know 60% of your muscle mass is below the waist, maybe you'd want to work it at least 60% of the time.
There is one guy I'd like to ask if he can even wipe his **** anymore because he is so built up in the shoulder and arms but can he reach around anymore?
If I could say one thing, I'd say it to everybody at the gym. "I'm sorry. I eat a lot of beans and broccoli."
Well I would be like "Woah! What am I even doing here? I've spent thousand$ on my own equipment just so I can avoid you."

If I had room and someone to spot me for some lifts I'd so be at home as well, but then I also don't know if I'd workout at home once I got home. I'm so used to getting my exercise done before I go home- it's my rule
I would either tell the men to man-up and do some squats/deadlifts, or I'd tell the women to man-up and ditch the 2lb dumbbells.

I'd be like... "What the heck are you doing in my house!"
The only one I talk to at my gym is the cats when they try to get my attention by winding around my legs while I lift.
lol, just kidding

Lmfao I try not to offend but squats really put the pressure on don't they
to the petite elderly pretty poufy-white haired lady who I saw working out today I wanted to say, "You are awesome!"
"Dear sir,
If you haven't noticed, i am about half your size. Do i really look like i can take your 45 lb weights off the squat rack?"
I just wish everyone could be courteous and put their weights up when they are finished!
Oh! and also:
"Dear skeletor looking woman,
The antibacterial spray is not yours. The last time i checked, it didn't have "for skeletor's use only" written on it. It doesn't belong behind your treadmil until your done walking at 3 miles per hour for 30 minutes past the time limit. Put it back."
Ah, feels good to get that out.

You really should be able to move 45lbs. If you can pick up a small child you can move this. Come on "man up" ;)
To most people at body balance/yoga/pilates classes:
'Straighten your back, keep your chest open, lead with your ribs not your shoulders!!!'
aka: stretching - your doing it wrong

Love this!
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
