Why do skinny girls and buff guys at the gym think they are God's gift to mankind? I took two of my girlfriends to the gym yesterday to show them around. We wanted to attend the Hip Hop class at 5:30pm. A little bit of rain and a whole lot of traffic made us late for the class and as soon as I entered the gym the "gym goddess" proceded to tell me that couldn't go to the class with me (although they had guest passes) until they got special permission from the "buff god". Give me a break!! Since when did the gym become a nightclub?! Here lately when I go it's almost like it's an episode off the movie Mean Girls and if you don't dress a certain way, fix your hair before you go, and act a certain way then you are going to gym hell. And if this really is the case.....and my prospects of getting married depended on my gym looks/actions.....then I shall forever stay single! I did make it to Hip Hop and felt better after dancing to "Promiscuous Girl." I wanted to tell "gym goddess" that there is more to life than the walls of the gym.....but would she actually understand what I was saying? All of my frustrations left me by the time I went to dinner and a friend who I haven't seen since I started my diet kept going on and on about how awesome and fabulous I looked. I guess putting up with annoying gym people is a small price to pay in order to get the body and results I want!

I hate them too!
Also- the people on the beach that wear makeup and jewerly so they can pick up! I mean come on!! Glad that you were able to get into the class and work your ass off! Sounds like fun, taking a Hip Hop class! I am sure you are looking as fabulous as your buddy had been telling you! You are almost at goal! Yipee!! You go girl!
I hate those gym types a lot too. I'm very keen on researching gyms before I sign up. I joined the one I'm at mostly because there is no attitude like that (as well as all the other things it offers, but I visited one where the manager was just an out and out b$%& and suffice to say I didn't join there). Is changing gyms an option for you? If not, I guess it really is just a means to an end and use it to get the results you want - I'm sure you pay more than enough for it.
they work at THE GYM. I mean, you have a wonderful and fulfilling career... they smell sweat all day long.
OK, I'm a horrible snob :-)
Seriously though, I know how you feel. I used to really envy these gorgeous trust fund babies who had perfect bodies b/c they could work out 3 hours every day in the middle of the day. Then I realized taht they got their perfect bodies b/c they had nothing better to do than work out 3 hours every day in the middle of the day :-) I much prefer being slightly "quilted" and having a good career.
I cannot stand most of the Gyms around here, for the very reason you stated. Joining the Y has been a great solution to those people because most of them are older, more out of shape, or just plain nicer than anyone you would meet at Ballys or 24 hour fitness or wherever. I would have popped that girl in the mouth if she would have given me lip like that. The nerve!!
