GymsGetting fit should come with a health warning, warns PJM. "In my pursuit of the body beautiful, I've broken three exercise bikes and two running machines, concussed myself and, most distressingly, bruised my testicles." And he's yet to try and get out of his contract...

List of gym annoyances.I'm desperately trying to think of a way of putting this in a non-"honda accord" kind of way and it's kinda tricky. I've always gone the gym fairly regularly, mostly because I used to kickbox and have been doing Krav Maga for a while, and you get your arse handed to you if you participate in either of these arts without being in shape. So I go the gym quite a lot. Here are my list of gym annoyances:
* People who sit on machines for hours. I once saw a woman on the bench-press machine who just lay there for 20 minuites, occasionally doing five reps of 5lbs. She actually seemed alseep for a while.
* Smelly blokes. Yeah, I may smell a bit when I've been inthere for a while but there's no excuse for turning up smelling like that.
* Posers. I once saw a bloke stand in front of a mirror for 5 minutes, admiring himself. Not flexing or anything, just looking himself up and down.
* People who park their BMW's in the disabled spaces right next to the entrance, then walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes. Try walking to the gym, or from the other side of the carpark, for that matter.
* Captain One-rep. The bloke who stacks the bar with tonnes of weight, does one rep, then leaves the bar there.
* Fat hairly blokes who walk around the changing rooms tackle out. No-one needs to see that.
* People who sweat all over the benches and never wipe them down
* Spitting in the shower. Grim.
* The bloke who makes a big show of putting on gloves, "warming up" then leathering the punch-bag twice before wandering off, trying to look hard while he catches his breath. Stevie Wonder could see those two haymakers coming and get out the way.
* The bloke who dries his "fun zone" with a hairdryer
I'm sure there's more...

The hairdryer thingThis is the second time I've read such a comment this week and I have to ask (being a girl and therefore not having such bits) - what's wrong with a bit of talcum powder? Surely that'd be less damaging to your fertility and dignity? You could even go into a cubicle so no one sees...
