annoyances in the gym
I just wanted to write a post since I haven’t in a while. Since I have been in the gym for a while now I have noticed some annoying behaviors from some of the people in the gym. One of the things that I have noticed is people talking on the phone while "working out". I mean how can you really push yourself physically if your yapping away on the cell phone. Not only does it limit your physical ability but it makes you look stupid and it creates an annoyance to others in the gym. If it’s an important call then step outside to make or take the call or wait till you get home. The gym is not the place answer all of your voicemails. Another thing that I have noticed is people who get too much into their tv shows. You know how you can plug in some head phones and watch tv while on your cardio equipment, well, just be careful and be respectful to your surroundings. I was at the gym the other day when I heard this loud laughing. At first I had no idea what it was but after a while I realized where it was coming from. I guess the guy on the stepper machine was really enjoying his Seinfield or whatever it was that he was watching. He kept doing it and it become real annoying and it distracted me from my workout as I’m sure it did others as well. The other day I was working out and their was a perculiar creature there that I noticed. In fact, everyone noticed him and were pointing and making fun of him. He was trying to do boxing around the whole gym. I was trying to get on one of the chest machines but he was squating and punching around blocking the whole area off. Before that I was trying to do some pull ups but he had that blocked off too. Everywhere he went he carried this big gym bag and gallon container filled with some brown substance. It looked like urine to be honest but I am sure it was something else. The gym staff were pointing at him but they should have asked him to cool down. To me he was just in the way and an annoyance. These are just some of the more annoying annoyances that I have noticed recently in the gym. I have noticed some slimmer annoyances like how immature the high schoolers act in the late afternoons but I won’t get into that in the post. Hope you enjoyed the read. Drop by my profile and give it a look and don’t forget to keep Jesus in control of your body and life.

Unfortunate the gym doesn’t have a separate area for the "boxers!" I can’t say I feel your pain, but I do know how annoying patrons with cell phones can be anywhere! Seriously, they must not be that into their training if they have to answer their cell phone. I work out at home and when I am working out…the phone usually does not get answered.
