Funniest thing ever seen in the gym!

lol he was walking on the treadmill and eating it. not even running.

I'm sure he guzzled Gatorade once his stroll was over.

Steel and Ceebs: ladies, I believe we have the beginnings of a new franchise. As for the rollerskates: how could I forget?!

VIP Lounge. Complete with posing mirrors. A nice, attractively lit area to promote impromptu posedowns. Patrons can gather after a grueling workout session and sit on plush, velvet covered sofas and chairs and watch as various pumped up, hunky he-men tear off their shirts and reveal their herculean torsos.

Man, I think I've read way too many Jackie Collins' novels.

Maybe I should start working on a business plan? hee hee

God you guys are sooooo judgemental. Don't you understand that "health clubs" are just another facet of capitalism and they are simply seeking to "meet the people's needs", attract new customers with their wide and diverse array of "amenities". I mean, like a *really good* Balley's will have a juice bar where they serve those really sweet power drinks with extra guarana, ginseng, and natural sweetener. An in-gym Starbuck's makes sense to me - they attract more people, perhaps can make a sale on lifting straps to someone who came in just to buy the jumbo latte and walk a few minutes on the treadmill. They are now richer by the profit on the straps and have also attracted someone who is paying gym membership (recurring revenue) for the luxury of being able to "do cardio" while drinking their coffee since they wouldn't otherwise really have time for cardio.

(can you smell the sarcasm...) BTW there's a Starbuck's just across the parking lot from my gym -- I am waiting to see the empties laying around free-weight area pretty soon...

I just hate it when people leave half eaten muffins in the cup holders of the treadmill. And yes, it happens a lot.

 

[Sassy69]

Yuk. --- Crumbs on your equipment. I'd get pissed off and walk around yelling "Who left their fucking muffin on my treadmill????" Chances are you can catch someone w/ a guilty look on their face mid-lift on a machines-- then I would quickly stick the remaining half-chewed muffin down their shirt so it squishes real nice on the rep completion.

Don't be leaving your damn carb shit in my way, dammit.

I can be a serious bitch when I have to

What IS the deal with the empty coffee cups all over the place? I saw a Dunkin Donuts one and a Wawa one yesterday sitting on benches, owner no where in sight. Mom would kill me if she ever caught me doing something like that.

 

[Fyre]

Half eaten muffins? You're kidding, they mights as well have a hot chocolate with whipped cream to wash it down!

 

[makedah]

Come on, guys. Maybe it was a fat-free muffin.

The manager of my gym brought in a coffee pot and starting brewing for 50 cents a cup. believe it or not, it was a hit. people would come early and sip their coffee at the bar while they ate the other big seller, "fat free soft pretzels"

Relatively often, I'll have coffee (that I started on the way to the gym) in-between sets when I'm lifting. Seems a little unsafe to be walking with it on a treadmill though...

As an aside, this was a pretty common practice with Sergio Olivia and a lot of the other old-time greats in their training days -- it's not as new of a phenomenon as some think...
