The Struggle is Real: Gym Anxiety Edition

DUUUUUDE. That was amazing. So amazing that I just read it out loud in its entirety to my boyfriend, who also cracked up the entire time. You, my friend, have a gift... thank you. Very cathartic.I am you at the gym, with all the anxieties of a big-girl-in-motion. I also have mentally named the worst offenders of gym etiquette things like Sweaty McPeePants and Grunty and EuroPants, in mental self defense, because I'm not always a nice person and I'm terrified of the passionately fit people.

Thank you, and thanks for reading! I name the regulars too, hahaha! There's Broet (he has luxurious poet-y hair and pensive expression and poignant hoodies and an upper body like Arnold); there's WOOOOO!, who is a middle aged guy with many earrings who always startles me when he does his cardio-- he gets on a stationary bike and right before he begins his workout, he fist pumps to his music, claps really loudly, and shouts WOOOO! at least once. Every. Time. And we go at the same time, so I jump every time. He's also friends with everyone there, so I'm sure we'll be acquainted in future. Etc. Gymmies. Ha!
