I need to preface this story by saying that I use the gym here at my condominium complex. Its small, but they have everything I need in it. Anyways, on to the story.

At least once during the week when I get to the gym, I walk in, and notice how freakin hot it is. (I live in LA, and its 75 degrees outside, and the gym feels like its 95 sometimes) Then I round the corner and there's this old guy in there on the cycle. He's peddling away, covered in sweat. Literally dripping. He wears a full track suit (the plastic noisy kind) and looks like he has many layers underneath that, and has the heater on full blast and the doors all closed to the gym. The mirrors are all fogged up, and there's literally a puddle underneath him.

He uses the bike exclusively and spins away for a good 45 mins. One time I asked if I could turn the heat down and he got all angry with me complaining how no one wants to break a sweat anymore, etc. But I could go ahead a bit. I walked over to the heater controls, and he had the goddamn thing on full heat! He stated that's the only way u get a good workout. Really annoying and gross.

Yesterday I went in the gym, and the heat was off, but I could tell he had been there. There was a nasty pool of sweat all over the bike, and all around the bike. Gross! I've seen him walking out of the gym while I was on my way in, and his plastic workout suit was literally dripping wet.

I'm not really going anywhere with this, other than to say:
If you workout in a gym, please CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF!
Remember, strangers who don't know about your Sweating habit on bike number 2 have to use that machine still!

Thank you, readers, for letting me vent. Doctors assure me the swelling in my brain should go down any day now.
