I’m already disgusted by the fact that 75% of the members at the gym don’t use towels to wipe their sweat off of the machines. I can’t sit here and say I follow all of the rules posted at LA Fitness because that would be a lie. However, I try my best to comply with the more important ones like not dropping weights on the floor and not falling asleep on the machines. OK. I made that second one up, but it’s a pretty good rule if you see the stuff I do at the gym.
Let’s get to one of the most basic rules - dress code. I’m not sure if it’s for comfort or appearance but it should exist regardless. From what I recall, it states that the following articles of clothing are not allowed anywhere in the work out areas: work boots, jeans, flannels, sandals, high heels, cowboy hats, cowboy boots, big belt buckles, tuxedos, and some other random things that nobody in their right minds would even consider wearing at the gym anyway…except this dude.
I actually didn’t get a picture of him the day before because he was actually rocking jeans and work boots. This time he was in his finest flannel and some Dickies-like pants. Both dry fit I’m guessing. I’ve seen other hombres wearing gardening gloves and cowboy boots in the weight area. Did they just come from work or the rodeo? Maybe they work at the rodeo. Heard those were popular up here in Long Beach. To be fair, I’ve seen Asian FOBs working out in flip flops and swim trunks like they just came from Splash Mountain at Disneyland.
I’m not sure if the trainers don’t care or are too busy trying to hit on every skinny chick wearing spandex, but nobody says anything to these dress code offenders. And honestly, it shouldn’t even be limited to the gym. These dudes shouldn’t even be allowed to wear this crap in public. But hey, that’s just my opinion and I need to get back to the incline bench press while the cleaning lady vacuums next to me. I’m writing about that homechick next.
