    • World Gym is a great people-watching spot

    • People at the gym are fascinating; it's like the Serengeti. Plus there are a lot of mirrors so it is pretty easy to stare at anyone. They all sort of expect it.

      Lately, I've noticed a particularly loud and chatty Brazilian trainer. She is like a large and peculiar bird. I try to avoid her.

      People at the gym make interesting outfit choices. I'll defend mine by saying that I get easily overheated when I work out. So, don't judge.

      One guy wears his street clothes and does nothing but lift weights. Mike is convinced that he is a Russian mobster. I avoid eye contact.

      An tall older gentleman I see in the late afternoon wears sparkly silver tights, probably from American Apparel, and a muscle shirt. To him I say, "Rock on, Sir".

    I would like to favorite "large and peculiar bird" specifically. Your unusual description paints quite the picture.

    It's pretty accurate. She clocked me inadvertently once mid-gesticulation in the locker room.

    it makes me sad to not pay to work out when i read descriptions like yours! i want to see such interesting people! You should make a gym commercial using that marketing strategy! ;) wow, i just got way too excited about the possibility of seeing man in sparkly tights and a muscle shirt. I'll try to refrain from using exclamation marks anymore.
