I know I'm very awesome, BUT DO YOU NEED TO WORK OUT RIGHT ON TOP OF ME

I have space issues. My personal bubble is very large.

So here I am at the gym today when no one was there in order to indulge my large personal space bubble. Our gym has about 70 treadmills. No joke.

Here is a diagram.

green=open treadmill
red=treadmill in use
pink=me
yellow=person who couldn't use any other of the other 45 other treadmills

I mean did you have to use the right one right next to me when there are rows and rows of open treadmills? DID YOU? It just really annoyed me ok.

In all honesty, I'd rather smell BO than stinky perfumes when I'm working out.

 THAT is my biggest pet peeve! Lay off the effing perfume!!!! I know this one client smokes, even though she said she quit.  3x's a week, I train her and her overwhelming stench of a bottle of Estee Lauder Beautiful mixed in with SMOKE.  It's so bad sometimes, my eyes water. I have called her out on it and she keeps denying it. My mission is to catch her smoking. May be once I catch her, she will stop bathing in perfume.

I don't have the problem with people wanting to be close to me at the gym when I work out. Being the owner and trainer to some of them, they hide from me. I've even notice some WAIT until one that is the furthest from me open up.

OMG Spiro. I love your pictures, you make me laugh. And ya I agree. You're pretty awesome.

I completely agree with your issue too. I hate that!

Nothing ticks me off more when there's a row of 15 treadmills and I'm on the one on the end, and someone comes right beside me and stinks! Like Perfume or cologne. DON"T BATHE IN COLOGNE before you go to the gym people! I'm on mile 4 and now I can hardly breath because of your stench.

In all honesty, I'd rather smell BO than stinky perfumes when I'm working out.

OMG I can't stand when the person jumps on next to me is reaking of perfume or cologne HELLO I am already sucking air in a rapid rate did not need to breath that crap. and people there that want to talk to grrr I don't want to talk I want to work out!

Spiro  - too funny made me laugh cuase this always happens to me and last time it was a super seaty dude and he kept flinging his sweat on me GROSSS I had to move I could not stand it, just thinking about it now makes me cringe. (Oh and sweat tons I just don't share it with my neighbors lol)

I just picked up the new spirochete fragrance at Macy's. It smells like awesomeness.

 I think I'm an 8 but if you insist I'm a 10 who am I to argue.

I think there is a joke about manscaping in there, Tom, but it isn't coming to me.

Spiro it's your magnetic personality at work!

My reaction to the thread title was "perhaps you're just tiny"...lmao.

 Wrong thread.

What, there's a rule about keeping jokes contained within a thread?

Rules are made to be broken.

In retrospect I should have invited her on the treadmill with me for a tandom run.

 No rules, it just works better when the set-up and the punchline are in the same thread.

I'm all for the tandom run idea, as long as the belt is running really slow.

Maybe that's why I couldn't come up with a good joke.

Hey, I had a guy hop on the spin bike next to me the other day who is apparently an alcoholic. 5 minutes into the hour-long class he starts sweating gin and by the end I almost felt like I had a buzz. So not cool.

Gettting a good buzz on before a workout...is there any other way?  ;)

I have a client who is an actress [definition: annual contract client with tons of cash and she diets by getting colon cleansing and plastic surgery] who shows up high and toasted at least 50 percent of the time. I DO send her home...and make home visits..interventions...have fired her...rehired her [hey, she is a good actress and very convincing]....my gym is multi functional...we have instructors, trainers, 3 physical therapists, 2 message therapists, 2 chiropractors.....with the amt of clients we have doping....thinking of hiring an alcohol and drug counselor....

seriously.
