Oddities of the Gym Introduction

For those of you who know me, you know I spend 2 hours a day at the gym. And if you don't know me, now you know. My father owns a multi-thousand family apartment complex which has a resident gym inside, so I use that gym since it is free ninety nine (never understood why people say free.99 referring to something that is "free" when in reality that would make it 1 cent less than a dollar :/). Anyways, I am convince that the strangest human beings on the planet have congregated at this apartment complex, and the very weirdest of the weird use the gym. I will be blatantly honest here, because without making this point, a lot of my stories won't have the same effect...95% of the people who live there are Indian. Some of them speak fluent English and have relatively normal gym habits, but others, ohhh my calorie-burning deficient lord. I did not know this prior to working out at my dad's gym, but some Indians do not wear deodorant. I'm not being sarcastic or making a joke here (for once), they actually do not wear anti-perspirant. Please take a moment to sympathize with me here. The gym is very small. Not a lot of air flow. Get more than 2 people in there, sweating profusely, wearing NO deodorant. I have actually had to leave the gym for a bit because I thought I was going to hurl face. How in the world do you put up with your own stench of death? Like, hi, you smell like 47 rotting cattle corpses roasting in the desert sun, how is your work out going?

One time this guy came in, and left real quick. He came back in the gym with an aerosol can air freshener and literally sprayed behind the stinkers on the treadmills! This guy DGAF. He was my hero that day.

The reason I am making this a multiple part series is because I could go on for hours and hours about the things I witness at the gym that are so unbelievably hilare. Not to mention, new disasters are occurring almost on the daily. If you follow me on twitter (www.twitter.com/HeatherSkills), you probably read daily tweets that I post from the gym.

I'll most certainly get overly excited about some of these oddities that I will make video blogs, and I'll try and take sweet Blackberry spy pics. Man...this is gonna be good.
