Ok, I'm at the gym tonight doing my cardio workout. I'm on the elyptical trainer for several minutes then move to the treadmill. I'm on it for maybe 5 minutes and a gentleman 35-40 years old gets on the treadmill beside me. As soon as he starts, I smell a strong hint of cologne. I don't mean a little hint, this dude smelled like he bathed in it! So strong in fact, that I had to move to another treadmill farther away from him! Ugh!!
After my treadmill workout, I move to the stair stepper. I'm on it for just a few minutes and an attractive young lady gets on the treadmill next to the stair stepper I'm on. Again, I smell a strong hint of some sweet smelling perfume. It seemed like she had bathed in it as well! Are you kidding me!!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for smelling great at the right moment....dates, dinner, etc. I love the smell of perfume on a lady. And there are some great perfumes and colognes on the market today. But don't wear them to the gym!!! I usually workout after work and even if I take a shower knowing I'm going to the gym, I will not put on any cologne. Please for the sake of those around you, leave the cologne and perfume in the bottle before working out!!! Sorry, had to vent!! Still burned over 800 calories and got a good workout in spite of the gym smelling like a mixture of sweat and cheap ass perfume and cologne!! Yuck!! Happy hobbying!!
