Gym Politics

Gym politics, if you have never been a part of it then don't plan to be. One word NIGHTMARE. There's a hierarchy of members at gyms. Your 60's+ members who use the gym between 8 and 11. Then they go for a cup of tea/coffee and rush home for murder she wrote. Also falling into this category are the close to 60's+ don't ever mistake them for 60+ though (they don't like that, take it from me). 60's+ members tend not to rock the boat, but if their boat is rocked. . . . well they are a source to be reckoned with. Then have your "Yummy Mummies" these are housewives or part time workers with extra cash to spare, same gym hours as 60's+. Usually hire a trainer or go to classes, have on sparkly gym gear and a full face of make up, don't sweat and hair is never out of place - in fact these women look as though they have just walked off the set of the musical hairspray. They teeter about the gym in a gaggle giving evil glares to any lone woman who has the audacity to actually exercise alone because they would never have the strength socially to do so. These women are the awful clientele that new female members fear, the ones that they think are looking at their bodies and judging, they usually are. but their social haunt is in private clubs but more recently with the refurbishment of some fancy new council gyms they migrating. Keep an eye out for them the next time your training, your sure to see a few together usually in a triangle shape towards their destination with the leader at the front, spot the leader . . . the one with the biggest.......... hair
