I saw the werewolf at my gym last night!

Well, not really, just trying to lighten things up a little around here. And if there are any guys reading, please take this with a grain of salt & don't be offended.

OK so I have some wardrobe suggestions for the gentlemen. The first is, if you have a pelt covering 80% or more of your body, then an itty bitty tank top & super small gym shorts are probably not your best choice of coverage. I would suggest a normal T shirt & workout pants. You might find your extreme fur masculine & attractive, but the vast majority of us do not. Plus I'd really hate to use a machine someone has been shedding all over.

My second suggestion, somewhat of a recurring theme for me, is that you please understand spandex is intended as a base layer. That's why the word "UNDER" is in the brand Under Armour's name. The phrase "TMI" was pretty much invented for dudes wearing spandex pants without anything over them. I don't care if you're taking a spin class--there is no wind in NYSC therefore you do not need to streamline your attire in order to cut down on wind resistance. You might find your package masculine & attractive, but sometimes it's best to leave things to others' imaginations.

Please feel free to add to my list. Maybe we'll post it at mensfitness.com on Monday.

How can I add to that? I'm laughing to hard!! Thanks for all those visuals. To funny.

They can't all look like Stewart.

Good advice!

I just got an email from LAFitness last night, asking me to come back and only pay the monthly fee. I am suddenly reminded why I quit in the first place! That was quite entertaining! Much better to read about than experience though! Those little hairs...eewwwwww. And the sweat of some people. Hello - that is why you carry a towel around people! There are plenty who will clean up after themselves, but I just can't use a machine if it is sweaty and/or if there is a greasy hair spot where your head is supposed to go. I always carry my towel to cover that part up, but if it is gross, I usually just won't use the machine, or save it for the end, hope that it will be cleaned up by then and if not, cover with my towel, carefully noting which side I used so I won't touch it, and then coming home and washing that towel in hot water! GROSS. OK - I don't miss the gym anymore. I was having a moment of weakness with that email b/c I miss the leg equipment. Thanks, Laura! Of course, I still miss the equip and am running out of room b/c we don't have basements here in Houston!! My bedroom (aka my gym) sees lots of action - just not that kind!

I can just imagine the sweat (and the hair) on the machines after bigfoot has been using them. (that smiley should have green cheeks, to indicate nausea!)

The funny thing is, that these hairy mclareys, think the look totally awesome!

They strut around the gyms, "Gotto get sum Hot stuff baby, this evening!" Pelvic thrusts forward. (too rude? sorry)

YUK!

You really made my day!!! I laughed so hard I thought I was gonna wet my pants! You could have taken a picture and sent it to the Enquirer to let them know that Sasquatch is alive and well. I no longer go to a gym and this is one of the major reasons why. I've always thought that maybe I was being too much of a prude when I would find men in spandex advertising their business vulgar. Simply disgusting! Mohair sweaters should not be allowed in gyms!!! Again thanks for a good laugh!

Thanks for the observation. Good thing about women gyms don't have the issues like men. Now if Sting ( the singer) were to come in the gym...that would be a whooooole different perspective!

i have been lurking for a while since changing to a new username (i have been using cathe workouts since 2006), moving from one side of the country to another, getting a new job, ect....

i have felt a heavy weight on my shoulders all day after reading the posts about the economy crisis, animal abuse and posting repeating question threads, but after seeing this thread, i am ending my day with a much needed laugh.....i can always count on lauramax to paint a picture that makes me cringe and/or laugh, so thank you for helping lift my spirits so i can have a nice friday evening.....

Hahaha

Pelt.... That cracked me up!! I go to the Y a couple mornings a week mainly just for the treadmill and pool. It's mainly older retired men when I'm there and let's just say that they need to bathe more often.

Oh, and I also swim laps right as the ladies from arthritis class are done w/ the pool. Let's just say that there is NO modesty in the locker room and I always feel better about myself after that.

 

[pwmatt]

Laura, you are SOO funny. I don't belong to a gym, but your post has brought such a clear visual to my head that I don't think I'll ever join one!

OMG: this post combined with the original image, makes me wonder if Hairy Guy used the swimming pool! Can you imagine coming across floating bits of hair? EEW!
