I am still enraged with today’s incident in the gym. As I am typing this I am hitting the keys on my laptop so hard that the guy next to me is actually looking at me. I usually hit the gym after 8 PM when it’s pretty much empty. So I get enough space to work out. Not that I would require the entire 20x15 space for myself.
Today for some reason Thiru and I decided to go at 6:30, by the time I was about to start my workout it was almost 7 PM. The moment I entered, I saw many guys flaunting their toned bodies (about ten of them); I was uncertain to get inside but made up my mind to go. I was dazed to see the remaining ten. I have no clue from where the rest of them came from. I didn’t find a vacant treadmill (obviously 20 people and 3 treadmills not an easy chance). I looked around and found an unoccupied elliptical cycle. I jumped and grabbed it even before someone could put an eye on that. As you all know about my OCD, I can’t workout without running on a treadmill. I couldn’t put my heart on that machine. I got off and still hoping to find an empty treadmill. I didn’t know what else to do except to stand and wait. While I was doing that I counted the number of people in the gym. No exaggerations, there were about twenty (including us). OMG! You must be wondering how can twenty people fit inside a 20x15 room, isn’t it? It actually happened today and I am the witness for that.
Anyways I was still hoping to find an empty treadmill standing in a corner. My trainer Karthik comes and says “you do the lower body workouts today” (different versions of lunges and squats). I laughed at him and said to myself how on earth I will do lunges and squats when there is no place to even stand. I ignored his instructions and still waiting for an opportunity to grab the treadmill. Luck didn’t seem to favor me; it looked like people were running a marathon on the treadmill. Finally I went up to one guy and asked him how much more time he would take to get off. When I heard he would just need three more minutes, I didn’t budge and stood next to him. While I was standing there (facing the mirror) I see a heavy weighted man with a really big belly, sweating buckets trying to wipe off his sweat from his forehead. The minute he realized he didn’t completely wipe it off; he pulled off his tee till chest level and started wiping his whole face showing off his big belly. I froze with embarrassment looking that in the mirror. The sight was totally unpleasant. Firstly if he was working out in a gym, it’s obvious that he would sweat. The basic fixation is to carry a face towel along with him. Say if has forgotten to get it, there is something called face tissues, please he should use them. It’s totally unacceptable to pull his tee and wipe it by showing his full belly. People might be crazy to watch some six-eight packs or even the flat belly of some belly dancers. Mind it, they wouldn’t want to look at a single pack (full belly).
Finally when I got the treadmill I ignored everything else and enjoyed my running. But once I was out from there couldn't stop to pen it down.
