Overheard in the gym - Share!

Nice!!  Those are really good.  $130 is a bit rich for me at the moment, but I'll definitely be keeping them in mind.  

 

Honestly, well worth the money if you can save up for them.  Not only do they sound good, the things survived 1) being left out in my driveway in the dirt for at a weeks (lost them, gave up searching, neighbor found them) and 2) being thrown through the washer and dryer in my pants pocket.  You'd think these things were invented by Nintendo, they rival the ability to survive better than a gameboy.

Pantera is on the "light rock" side of what I listen too.

 

 

I just want to say this.  Metallica's One is like a 8 minute sex experience.  

 

 

Listen to it again, but this time, think a little foreplay, then add a little groping, then back to foreplay as the clothes come off, then start into the main course, then hot and heavy to finish with a breathless euphoria.  

 

Maybe I just need to get laid...  

 

 

I think I need a smoke now. ...

 

I was thinking a tall glass of whiskey, but same difference.  How did this become a 50 Shades of Gray thread?  Damn, I think I need to go cool down now!

An ACTUAL garden hose or are you speaking metaphorically?

 

in which case, Lady A just might let you catch her

It's the new weight loss craze that's sweeping the country: "Fifty Shades of Fitness"!

 

Some of the equipment is even eerily convertable.....

That one I already looked at wrong... after some awkward eye contact with a guy that was using it, there was no other way to look at it.

 

The leg curls, our machine has you bend your legs down, though that could still be fun... and the glute bridges are a new one...

Hey, any gym experience is better than none!  Whenever I interview & hire on new staff it's always a plus if they've worked at other gyms before (the one I work at is ranked as one of the top gyms in the country - we regularly get celebrities who come through when they're in town filming).

In Atlanta.  The main gym I currently work for is Georgia Institute of Technology's gym - yes, technically it's a collegiate gym (so it's only open to students/faculty/alumni) but anyone can work there as a trainer or instructor, provided they have the right licensure.

Guys... remember a few days ago I mentioned the army crawl on the treadmill:

 

Walked into the gym this morning because I forgot my watch up there. Found a notice posted above the treadmills that reads:

 

Army Crawl competition Rules:

1. as low as you can go

2. get that ass down (name redacted)

3. if you bleed on it, you clean it

4. one at a time

5. clothes are not optional, wear them

6. NO INTERFERENCE

 

Now I really wish I knew why these rules were necessary. They were NOT up when I left yesterday. I think my military boys took my army crawls idea and are running with it. There's even a score board now, but I don't understand the ranking system yet.

 

What have I helped create?!?!
