More observations at the gym
I have been going to the gym chain Euforie. It has 4 locations. I started just going to one to get used that one, Pomme. I have been going to a 2nd one, Oxygene, to branch out. I think no matter where in the world you are there are standard things that come with the gym experience, and I’m not talking about weights, classes, and locker rooms. People.
Tupac has been dead for like 15 years, why are you wearing that RIP Tupac dress around the gym still? Yes, it looks like a dress, so while you may not understand the English words written on it, you must have some understanding that when you wear an enormous flowing shirt that hangs down to your knees and then strap on a big weight lifting belt over the shirt, cinched at the waist, you look like you are wearing a dress or like the fashion of the 80’s where women wore big belts over their shirts, hanging down the side of one hip. I know that is not what you intended by the grunting noises you make but that is what is perceived. You spin me right around baby right around etc etc etc.
Who let the peacocks into the Tecktonik class?
Your New Jersey track suit isn’t cool. I mean the colors are nice, it fits you well, but really, have you been to New Jersey?
I guess you are not really working out if the weight stack doesn’t slam down hard with each repetition. I’ve been doing it wrong all these years. Who knewed.
Remember I told you that “Je comprends française plus ou moins mais avec le bruits de la classe, pas de tout!” I think I said it once at the beginning and once while you insisted on talking me through the routine instead of demonstrating it for me. Nope, talking louder won’t help. Really, all I need you to do is to do the routine, I will get it if I can see you do it. Please don’t try to cue in English, really stop talking and just do it. No I don’t don’t need la classe pour les débutantes.
I’m sure I will have more gym tales. I know I sound a little cranky but gyms attract strange people and I like to people watch. If everyone were so normal I might not be as amused and I might not go because I’d be bored. So I don’t really intend to sound mean, it’s just a release.
They must think similar things of me, for example, why is he wearing shorts to the gym, I mean why isn’t he wearing snow pants or at least rubber pants like the rest of us, the Americans and their shorts.
Vent, baby, vent. You’ve got me thinking I might want to go to a gym just to watch everyone else. Of course, that would mean getting out of my chair and actually doing something. Hah! Fat chance. Pun intended.
I just got back from a step class. I saw some amazing things at the gym. My walk back home takes about 10 minutes. I was composing in my head everything I was going to write about at the gym. Now I am here, in front of the computer, and nothing. I can’t think of what happened at all.
