gym goons

Let me start by saying, it takes loads of determination and discipline to step into the sweat-ridden halls of a gym. Yes, the biggest thrill of joining any gym is more often than not outfit shopping. Smart shoes, stylish workout clothes and a trendy bag in tow.

But as you head up the escalator or elevator, legs turn to lead, and McD's looks mighty tempting. Perhaps I'll have a light snack today and skip gym, you placate yourself. And you make a steadfast vow to do extra reps the next day. Oh, it's a tough battle, make no mistake, and one that isn't helped by inconsiderate morons and rude idiots infesting your gym space.

Yes, I'm referring to you, the dimwitted simpleton who leaves his towel on the machine to indicate it's reserved for your sole pleasure.

Yes, you who are busy chatting with your equally irritating friends, one hand on the handle whilst others are waiting to use the machine.

Yes, you who have been sitting down on the machine for dear life, reluctant to move lest someone else manhandled your precious contraption.

Banish you, and that final step over to the gym becomes so much more bearable.
