I’m getting really fucking sick of smelling stinking dirty women and men that go to the gyms. Take a fucking shower before you come in for God sakes. I’m so fucking sick of moving from one treadmill to the other because I can’t stand the smell of you. It really is breath taking. If you are single and looking for that one at the gym, forget it, never gonna happen. Can’t you smell yourself? You must. I just feel like throwing a fuckin bar of soap at you and telling you to wash your fucking ass, YOU ARE ALL PIGS. —Happy Gym Goer

People are there to SWEAT. At times, that may smell!
I won’t take a shower before the gym to have another shower an hour later. You probably require your sexual partners to shower before sex too.
Some of us go to the gym to work out. If you want to pick someone up, go to a bar or plentyoffish or wherever people go these days. I stink at the gym and I smell others there too. If you don’t stink, you ain’t doing it right.
This is dumb. People are supposed to sweat at the gym. But it is both considerate and healthier to cleanse before sex, Secretagent.
kvd’s right — if you don’t stink at the gym then you aren’t doing it correctly.
Good grief.
Also: people who go to the gym to pick people up are laughably pitiful.
i think you might be more than a little fucked in the head friend. people go there to work out, and they will smell afterwards. so what is the big deal if they stink a little before they go in there. i bet you aren’t all roses before you hit the doors. if you are, then why go and get all stanky, you poor dumb fuck.
Just a thought: If you are moving from one treadmill to another and from machine to machine and, as you state in your bitch, you STILL smell something funky each and everytime you move, logic would dictate, it’s probably you!…Just sayin’
So let me get this straight, I’m supposed to go home from my workplace downtown to my place in Dartmouth, shower, go to the gym, which usually takes me about an hour and a half not including the time it it takes to get there and change, then shower again, make food and eat. I’d have no life. I’d be getting out of the gym at like 10 or 11 o’clock every night. And I’d still stink.
Suck it up or work out at home FFS.
Or you could always just, ohhh I don’t know, JOG OUTSIDE!!
Sweat doesn’t have to smell, folks—that’s ‘odour-causing bacteria’ as the adverts say.
Slap a little hand sanitizer under the oxters if ya stink and go ahead an sweat freely! (please wipe down the machine after.)
“Also: people who go to the gym to pick people up are laughably pitiful.”
You’ll have to explain that one for me PK. If I’m a fitness nut, wouldn’t it be obvious to look for a partner at a gym/pool/fitness club? Or should I just go get smashed downtown and pick up there, like everyone else?
If your sole purpose for going to the gym is Poon, then yes, that’s kinds sad. But if that’s the case you can say that about most places… The Mall, Church, your local supermarket, etc.
Good point Xeno. Ever do Hot Yoga? There’s a lot more sweat in there than your average gym, and I very rarely found it to be a smelly place.
we get a lot of sweaty folks in the shop and i haven’t noticed a bad smell. my olfactory system is famous, believe you me^^now dirty, days old unwashed ass is another matter, i think perhaps the op is talking about that. my niece does hot yoga and she smells delish
Nay, Cap’n, I’ve never done Bikram Yoga. (I’m an English Rose–don’t like it too hot or too cold) but I have sweated pints at a spin class!
When I was a mar-com exec, I had a client who sold home spas and gyms, who told me that most gym users are single. Once people hook up, they tend to work out at home unless gym membership is a perk.
So if the gym’s are filled with single people it would actually be a sweet spot to pick up! Anyone know the going rate for a Nubody’s membership?
You gotta try Hot Yoga! I practice Moksha Yoga, not as much a fan of Bikram. I’m sure you could survive, even being the “English Rose” you are. My body produces heat like a small sun, so if I can survive a hot yoga class I think anyone can.
Ah, it’s a gym! They probably showered before but stink again from all the sweating and working out (I bet OB just goes there to pick up the guys..).
fear sweat smells bad
Sorry Depeche Mel, but if I wake up at 6am and have a hankerin for my man, Im not jumping in the shower before I jump on him.
At least brush your teeth or gargle some listerine or eat a mint first…nothing worse than tryin’ to get intimate with someone with morning breath..yuck!
I don’t get morning breath. Seriously.
Though sometimes if I have a sugar spike overnight then it’s fruity like fruit tums. True story.
Sometimes, I have to go to the hospital when that happens.
so is this like a BO armpit aroma or straight up ASS that you’re smelling? Do you work out at the Y?
No, I’m not showering before I go to the gym, that just seems silly. I know my feet stink especially if I don’t stay on top of the odor eaters for my shoes. I sweat buckets st the gym, it literally drips off the end of my fingertips. Fifteen or twenty minutes in to the stair climber, that machine is glistening with my sweat, I have to hose it down afterward (not really).
However, feet aside, I don’t smell. At least I hope not.
troon… I’ve found throwing in a bounce sheet or two in those sneak’s is a cost effective helper of foot stench.
Done that too, zZz and it works great.
A light dusting of Gold Bond either in your socks or in your shoes works well too. Keeps your dogs bone dry and keeps ’em smelling fresh. But make it a verrrry light dusting. Too much powder + too much sweat = a dough-y mess in your shoes. Also, you end up making little powder clouds around your feet everytime you take a step.
avast… it’s best to learn from the misfortune of others…

thanks zed, that was great. i didn’t watch that show very much but he was the funniest
some people DO shower but work up such a sweat that they smell again.
And i bet they’re already amply self conscious of it and don’t need you reminding them. Some people sweat hard, their sweat smells more and they sweat easier than others.
It’s a gym you stupid bitch, not the gemstone awards.
Go work out in your barbie dream house and leave athletics to the athletes.
lolyeah kvd i thought that was weird. What kind of whore goes to the gym to pick up? I mean hey.. if you meet someone, you meet someone. But to treat it like a meat market?
I question who the nasty one is…
