Stupid Gym Folk, vol. 1: Spinning Out of Control

Januarys at the gym have inspired me to devote sections of my blog to the dumbasses who make my gym experiences unbearable. This is the first installment of "Stupid Gym Folk."

I take a spinning class every Monday and Wednesday and I really enjoy it. It can be very intense if done correctly and water is definitely recommended. It's also very popular and a signup sheet is now required to control the number of people who attend. Unfortunately, there's always a gym loser who ruins it every so often. This time it was a woman who had never taken the class before.
Last week, a woman walked into the class seven minutes after it began and found that there was only one bike left and it didn't have pedal straps for street shoes. The woman made such a big deal that the instructor felt bad and gave up her own bike so the late woman could be in the class. Here are two WHAT THE FUCK situations happening simultaneously. First of all, how are you gonna waltz into a class seven minutes late and disrupt it by asking the instructor if she could help with the bike. Second, why the fuck did the instructor not kick her ass out of the room instead of waste eleven minutes taking her bike off the pedestal so the woman could use it? She didn't sign up for the fucking class so she should have been out of there.

I saw the extra pair of pedal straps behind the stereo and I pointed it out to them. I don't know if I should have done that because they took another five minutes putting the instructor's bike back up on the pedestal and adjusting the straps onto the extra bike. Halfway through the class, the woman gets up and leaves so she can get some paper towels. She even had the nerve to ask people around her if they had extra water. After the class, the woman went up to the signup sheet and put her name down. I explained to her that the sheet is there to reserve space in the class and that signing it AFTER the class is a complete waste of time. She didn't get it.

I only got about thirty five actual minutes of class time out of the sixty that I expected, thanks to a stupid cunt who was completely unprepared for this type of class.
