Chewing gum and flipping through a magazine while you walk at a 2.0 pace on that treadmill will do nothing but piss the rest of us off that are running as if armed rapists are chasing behind us. And to a particular girl who rudely talks over instructors as they explain moves/sequences, don’t be hatin’ that I can follow at the instructors pace, do exactly as they ask and kick ass. Your constant yapping, turning around to stare at me while I work out only makes you look like more of a arm-swinging over-tanned twit. I know I have above average cardio, but I don’t make a show of it. I show up, do my thing, and leave. You seem to make an issue of my very presence at every class, it seems. I’m sorry that my presence rattles your self-confidence. Is it horrifying to you that skinny doesn’t equal being fit? Whatever. I’ll just smile next time you glare at me and take it as a compliment. Oh, and BTW, SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN A INSTRUCTOR IS TALKING. Thanks. I feel better now. —Five Fingers

i will never understamnd why some of you idiots even waste time and money on fucking stupid gyms. get the fuck out and move about some. if you wanna lift weights, then buy a home thing, and stay away from the fucking bitch boards. fuck, people are stupid.
You know what? Even if you are going at 2.0 you are going faster than the person at home on the couch. Mind your business!
why don’t you just stay in your own lane? Instead of being all jealous that you work harder and they’re slimmer?
Hey, where’s Meaty when we need him?
So, this arm-swinging, over-tanned twit turns around to stare at your above average self (who never makes a show of the god-like body, btw) whenever you grace her class. Hmmm. RLY? Maybe she feels the twin beams of your gimlet gaze burning into her back…
Your gym probably has a rule about gum. Maybe you should remind the instructor of this…
WTF is with all the gym bitches lately?
haha, the death stare http://static.happyplace.com/assets/images…
Yeah, cause everyone is staring at your super-abilities wishing they were you, ya twat.
“WTF is with all the gym bitches lately?”
Weather’s heatin up and people are startin to become fearful of bikini season! Same story every year, and for new years (resolutions) too.
Why are so many people worried about what someone else is doing at the gym? You should be focussed on yourself. Who cares what speed they do on a treadmill? Get yourself in the zone OP, get that focus!
Umm, how about this crazy tactic… Mind your own fucking business… I know it’s a crazy idea but if you try it you might just find you like it. Life is so much more simple and relaxing when your not going around stressing and bitching about everyone else and constantly meddling in things of which you really have no business meddling. If someone wants to pay their foolish gym membership dues and take a lazy stroll on the “running” machine then why on earth would you really care, boggles the mind really.
Another crazy thought, how about saving yourself some money and go for a run around the block. In the right neighborhood you might really get some crazed rapist to run from instead of living vicariously through your imagination, and if the money is no issue then you could do something useful for humanity and give to charity, I’m sure there are pleanty of starving children in the world who would love to eat actual food.
Just saying…
