With many of you following your new year’s resolutions to get fit and venturing back into the gym we thought this might be a good time to deliver this article on our unofficial (but universal) gym rules.
- 1) NO MOBILE PHONES!! Yes we can all see you have the latest most expensive mobile, but please don’t use it in between sets, I’m waiting to get on that machine you’re sat texting on.
- 2) PLEASE STOP LIFTING THAT WEIGHT..it’s too heavy for you, your technique is terrible and you’re about to hurt yourself!
- 3) OH MY GOD…ARE YOU OK? OR SHOULD I RUN AWAY FOR SAFETY? Sorry just with all that grunting and growling I thought you were about to turn into a werewolf, perhaps you should stop it.
- 4) READ AT HOME… You seriously can’t be working hard enough if you’re still managing to follow print on the page of Katie Price’s latest masterpiece, even if the text is massive. Crank up your Ipod instead and pedal faster!
- 5) STOP STARING AT ME…I can’t tell if you want to fight or f***, but i’m not interested in either, I’m just trying to work out, thanks!
- 6) SAVE YOUR POSING FOR YOUR MIRRORS AT HOME..I’d like to use it to check my form if you don’t mind getting out of the way.
- 7) WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN TRAINING…don’t come up to me to spout unwelcome “knowledge” (especially if you’re in worse shape than me) my goals could be completely different to yours and I don’t even know you.
- 8) HEY, IT’S GREAT TO SEE YOU…but please let’s catch up after we’ve both finished training.
- 9) PUT THE WEIGHT DOWN GENTLY…we know you want to show off how much you’re lifting and the sound of dropping that weight on the floor may draw everyone’s attention, but doing so only leads them to draw one conclusion-that it’s probably a bit heavy for you to handle, otherwise you could put it down properly.
- 10) COVER UP IN THE CHANGING ROOM, I’m not homophobic but I don’t want to see your dick or your big hairy ass thank you very much. A little modesty never hurt anyone.
