You’re attractive and relatively fit. We get it. Now get the fuck off the machine and take your cellphone with you.
Now I know it may be hard for your brain to comprehend, but many of us pay for a gym membership to actually work out. Your loud chats with random girlfriends about getting drunk last night, endlessly scrolling through your iPod songs, texting douchebags, updating your Facebook status and flirting with trainers are all just fine with us. Just don’t tie up a machine while you do it. Find a coffee shop…
P.S. This also applies to the out-of-shape dudes who tie up machines doing the minimal workout possible to avoid looking creepy while you stare at girls. Newsflash – you still look creepy. Save money. Try the internet.

good call on the outa shape dudes!
I also hate the muscle heads who start working out with a bagy sweater on, then after doing a few sets for 1/2 hour and getting a crazy pump on going they take their sweater off to make it look like thats how they look all the time..lol
At least Zoobaz pants arent still around.
I’m with you. I don’t understand why already fit people obsess about their bodies when the people struggling are trying even harder. Complete overkill.
Vanity.
I never really understood paying to work out… Why not get a part time job where you actually do some physical labor, (or go up and down stairs all the time, lol!), and get paid for that sweat? If you’re really there for the workout, go at odd hours when the place is dead and you’ll have your pick of the equipment. You all look like posers to us mere mortals…
My gym bans cell phone use, which makes a lot of sense to me (aside from distractions they also double as cameras, and that can be just creepy). Yours should consider it, especially if their customers are being pissed off by their use when someone’s supposed to be working out.
The reason why people are fit is because they get regular excersize. Perhaps she exersizes for her health not vanity…although I agree that cellphones should not be used while using the fitness equipment, it’s rude and distracting.
