Get Out of the Way

I am all about people taking charge of their health regardless of age, weight, fitness level, etc. but I am not in support of people who just go to the gym and take up space. One of the spin classes I take weekly often fills up and today was no exception. At least 10 people were turned away because there were no more bikes. During the class while most of us were working our tails off and dying, two women proceeded to carry on a conversation for most of the class, while a third women was texting. Texting, during spin class? C’mon! If you can carry on an hour long conversation and you are texting you certainly are not working. Get off the bike and give it to someone who really wants to work. And I’m sure those three women who did nothing in class will be the first ones to go to work tomorrow and tell all their co-workers, "I went to the gym and worked out for an hour!" Yeah right! Shut up and save it. Staying motivated is hard enough for all of us. For those who come to the gym and lollygag, get in the way, keep the machines warm, talk on the phones etc, save your money and our time. GET OUT OF THE GYM AND STOP TAKING UP THE SPACE OF THOSE WHO REALLY WANT TO DO WORK! (That’s my soapbox for the day!)
