Nakeed Noooo!



I love to workout at the gym. I get a pure and natural high from pumping some iron, running on the treadmill, or even doing those painstaking crunches.

The other day at the gym, I did my usual two-hour workout – one hour of resistance training (weights) the other of cardio (I hit an eclipse machine). After a good workout, I take full advantage of the spa-like qualities the gym has to offer. I enjoy a good soak in the steam room and like to loosen tight muscles in the hot tub.

I always get out of my stinky gym gear and into a nice, fresh and clean bathing suite prior to going into the spa-like amenities.

There were these stinky, fat, balding fifty-something men that wandered into the steam room as I was there. They had no bathing suites, actually they were completely naked. Not even sandals to protect their feet.

Now the steam room and hot tub are in the change room, so there is no concern about offending the opposite sex. But I was offended and shocked.

You learn when you are very young, usually from a bad experience, that you always wear sandals at the beach. All it takes is one piece of broken glass and . . . well, we’ve all been there or know someone who has.

The same is true at the gym. Athletes Foot is a common disease at gyms – hence it’s name. It is a fungus which spreads from moist, warm surfaces. Just like those moist, warm surfaces found in a steam room, a shower stall, even the lip of the hot tub.

As if these bozos – I seem to use that word a lot in my blogs. Bozos – must be a sad statement on our lack of bozoness in today’s world – but I digress. These BOZOS dared to offend me more, by sprawling out on the benches in the steam room sans clothes.

One actually lied on his back, with his petty pecker sticking up in the wind.

Just the thing I want to see after a long hard day at the office!

I come to the gym to unwind, relax, and be fit. Not to see some other guy steaming his balls.

These same bozos then went into the hot tub. I skipped my hot tub and hit the showers.

I was disgusted and offended. There are signs everywhere saying to wear either a towel or a bathing suite, and proper footwear AT ALL TIMES in the shower, sauna, steam room and locker areas.

I guess bozos can’t read, because they didn’t pay any attention to the signs. I just hope they do a better job obeying traffic signs – wrong way missed once, is fatal.
