1st of all what's up with the men and women who come into the gym wearing loads of perfume or calogne. Listen, if you stink, its called deodorant. You are at a gym, I'm sure 75% of the people there are sweating like pigs and don't smell the greatest anyway. Your perfume is clearing out the place! I don't know about you but, when I go workout I've got my hair pulled back, usually no makeup and I definitely am not spraying on a bottle of perfume to smell good for the sweaty stinky boys there. The gym is a place to workout not a place to look cute. You want that, then go to a club.
2nd. Women who walk in with there cute little outfits, hair down, makeup done and walk around like everyone loves them, get over yourself. Go to the gym to make yourself cute, don't go looking cute. You'll get nowhere.
3rd. Women who think they can lift but can't. Baby please, you're making the rest of us look bad. Learn the propper form and a routine, then you can come back and try again. Men aren't the only people who know how to lift. There are plenty of us women who could probably work circles around you. It's just those few women who give the rest of us a bad rap. Get a personal trainer if you don't know what you are doing.
4th. Men who walk around like they own the place, especially if they are skinny and look like they havent worked out a day in their life! Stop looking at yourself in the mirror and actually go lift something.
5th. Big guys that come in for 30 min do a few curls, tan for a few minutes and walk out. Hmmmm, yea thats not natural. Can we say STEROIDS!
6th. Cut off shirts... Hey I wear them, but honey if you have roles and I can see them because you are wearing that shirt... don't wear it! Next time keep the sleeves on please.
7th. Stop running on the treadmill like you have leaded flat feet. Go run outside.
8th. To all the fat men, you are not powerlifters just because you are fat. Sorry, but it's true. I don't know how many times I have seen the big over weight guys come into the gym thinking they are something special and then go to bench and put a 45 on each side and call it a day. You are not strong, I was doing that as an 8th grader. Embarrassing.
9th. I enjoy running in the summer and occasionally I will run in my sports bra, but thats only because it gets extremely hot. Please do not walk around in your sports bra while you are working out. Yes, we all know you are very pretty and have a flat stomach. Don't flaunt it like that, you are making yourself look bad.... and it makes me a bit uncomfortable.
10th. Guys with hoodies and skull caps... You look like and idiot. This isn't Rock IV... it's a gym for heaven sake.

My top 10 things NOT to do in the gym
1. Do not text or be on your phone. Leave it in your locker or gym bag!
2. Don't walk in like you own the place; your ish smells just as bad as the rest of ours!
3. Don't drop your weights please. If you can't handle it then you probably shouldn't be trying to lift it.
4. Yes, I am using that machine and no you cannot take it from me. Do not walk over and steal it from someone... ASK!
5. Grunting???? Breathe in and out, ok?
6. Are you done with those weights? Ok, then go put them back where you got them from. Your mother is not here to pick up after you! Don't leave your weights lying around for people to trip on.
7. Please, please do not spit, swear or try & start a fight. We already know your are a big strong man. (or woman)
8. I am in the middle of a set, do not come & try to talk to me. If someone is not dying, it can wait.
9. Try not to walk between mirrors or someone who is lifting.
10. This is not a gathering, you and your girlfriends need to go mingle loudly elsewhere. Don't be loud!
