Open Letter to Men in the Gym

Hello sir.  You are hot.  You are fit.  You are muscular.  You like to lift weights, that’s sooo obvious.  You are big and burly and I’m sooo impressed!!  Can I please feel your bicep?

Oh, wait, scratch that last one.

Can we replace that last line with “Excuse me, may I work in?” and not have my request be met with a sniff of derision and a look down your nose at me like I just asked you to give me your last protein shake?

Yes, I’m a woman and I like to weight train, too.  No, I’m not big and burly like you.  Yes, the damn gym has a damn “Ladies Area” … but have you SEEN the Ladies Area, sir?  It’s quite lacking.  In fact, it’s downright ridiculous.  They give us pink plastic 5lb dumbbells.  I can’t get ripped with those, sir.  I can’t even feel a pump with those.  My purse weighs more than those little things.  And, they give us “Hip Toner” machines but they don’t give us any barbells or squat racks.  I can’t get ripped with that kind of equipment, sir.

So, please sir, may I work in, sir?

Okay, seriously now!! Listen guys, yah yah yah, you’re there to be boys, you’re there to work hard and you’re not there for distractions or to flirt around with chicks.  Yah, no kidding.  Neither are we.  We are there to work out and get fit… just … like… YOU!!

We have as much right to be there as you do and we pay just as much in membership fees.  So why the heck do you treat us like we’re in your way and a total bother to have us working in with you on your set when you’d be perfectly content to let some other ‘dude’ work in with you instead?  In the past I’ve even overheard a few of you meatheads saying to your friends “effin’ broads, why can’t they go in their own area?”

Well, now you know why don’t go in our own “area”.  Our area SUCKS!  So be nice to us, would ya please?  If YOU were forced to work out with the equipment they put in “our” area, you’d bail out, too.  You probably wouldn’t even keep your membership to a gym that insulted you the way the Ladies Area insults us (and believe me, I’ve told the Gym Owners of the world off in another article).

Although, I have to admit that since I started doing Squat Cleans, and other similar moves in the big boy weight room where you can all see me, not many of you treat me with derision anymore…most of you big buff boys can’t even do Squat Cleans, now, can you?  Heck, I’ll bet most of you don’t even know what a Squat Clean is!! Don’t be afraid to look it up though.  And then feel free to come thank me once you’ve discovered them for yourselves.

But my point stands.  We’re human.  We’re there to get fit. Stop being jerks to us and let us work in for crying out loud.

And for that, I thank you.
