Dangit

Today, I (Nicole) tripped on my step in class and ate it. In fact, I ate it twice.

After my butt hit the step, I bounced and kissed the floor.

Kimmy turns to me and screams, "man down." I was in the back and kind of hidden from the mirrors surrounding the whole room. Nobody saw, right?

Love you like peanut butter and chocolate!

The Starer

What's up with people who stare at other people at the gym in a very obvious way?

There is this guy, who wears unusually tight work-out pants and stands outside our step class, just watching. He will walk up the stairs and the entire time, his eyes will be set on the class. This is not just a one-time deal, either. ..we're talking everyday.

Do you think he realizes he is staring? What's up with the tight girl pants?

Love you like hot dogs and macaroni!

PJ's at the Gym?

Why is it that some men think it is socially acceptable to wear pajama bottoms to the gym?
We know it is 5:30 in the morning, but really...

Love you like Beans and Rice!

Laney, the best spin instructor ever!

You know you have an amazing spin instructor when the people taking the class have amazingly ripped bodies and you have to arrive 30 minutes early just to get a ticket to get in. They started giving out tickets recently, because people were arriving at 7:30am on a Sunday to save a bike for a 9:15 class! Yes, you heard right; they arrive two hours early. Are they crazy? This is a Sunday, people! Who spends 3 hours at the gym??

So, we knew the first time going in to Laney's spin class that we were destined for something incredible. Not only does she give away the bikes of people who are not punctual, but she tells the head instructor to "suck it" for closing the door on us and keeping in all of the heat. It's like a comedy hour along with the hardest workout we have ever done in our lives!

She makes new music mixes every single class and takes requests from her students! She learns your name fast and singles you out to work harder and independently of others. Luckily she stands tall at approximately 5'2" and weighs no more than 120lbs, so rather than being scared, we are motivated!

She is an important character for us to introduce, because as you can see, she is the drama and excitement of our Sunday mornings! We will keep you posted the next time she starts a fight with our head trainer or has a brawl with a late arrival!

Love you like biscuits and gravy!

Coffee?

Really people? Coffee at the gym?

Tiffany, the Manager

So we're on vacation right now and that means that we get to sleep in and go to the gym later. The gym is a totally different situation three hours later. First of all, who is available to go to a yoga class at 9:45am on a Thursday? We could barely get a spot in this class. Either everybody besides us has an amazing job where they get to leave for yoga in the mornings or this job crisis is worsening!

But, we digress. What this posting is really about is the general manager of our gym. See, we never get to see this manager, because she has never graced us with her presence at 5:30am. No, she never happens to be there when naked ladies are frolicking around the locker room rubbing yogurt on their bodies. So, we were quite surprised to see her this morning.

One would expect the general manager to come dressed in professional gym clothes showing the clientele that not only does she know business, but she knows gyms. Our manager, we will call her Tiffany, greeted us, well not greeted us, more looked us up and down while wearing a v-neck halter dress with her bosoms popping out and with full make-up.

Our question is, what is she trying to accomplish by wearing these clothes? Is she the only woman in an all male world? Is she trying to sucker men out of their money? How does this sell to women? How are we as the clients, wearing ripped old t-shirts and work-out pants, supposed to feel welcomed by her? Maybe were the ones that have it all wrong. Tomorrow, our work-out wear: high heels and tube top?

Any ideas?

Love you like chips and guacamole!

Today was hideous

We just had magical experience at the gym. Our trainer Skywalker kicked our butts with a full body work-out: push-ups, crunches, stairs, the whole-enchilada. Obviously, its time to relax in the steam room and sauna. We sit down in the steam room, simply to fight our colds, and who sits down next to us. Yes, you guessed it "Naked-Yogurt Lady." She is of course, butt-naked, missing her towel, and unusually wet. She sits down (yes, bare butt on tile), pulls out a container of grape Yoplait non-fat yogurt, and starts smothering her body in it. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the second offense of Naked-Yogurt Lady. Disgusted, we leave the steam room and attempt the sauna. The grape-smelling lady follows us! And now she decides to add more yogurt and some very icky-smelling lotion to her hair. At this point, we decide that is officially time to go.

We later discover that yogurt has live cultures that kill bacterial infections on the skin. Therefore, not only was this Naked-Yogurt Lady, this was "Naked-Yogurt I Have an Infection Lady."

Question of the day: What infection could she have?"

Moral of the Story: Please follow the instructions on the sign outside to cover yourself with a towel and refrain from bringing yogurt into the sauna and smothering it on yourself.

We will leave you on our first posting with the salutation that the head trainer, Bellagio, leaves us with every day: "Love you like fish and chips!"

Gym it up!

We are two girls in our 20s who have been going to the same gym together for the past 3 years. In this time, we have had 5 personal trainers, a variety of step, spinning, kickbox, and bootcamp instructors, and have braved the bacteria-infested sauna too many times to count. Because of this, we feel it is a necessity to bring you, the hilarious, disgusting, and unbelievable stories that we have experienced from day-to-day. We hope that all of you gym-goers out there will comment and share your unique experiences as well!
