What do gym-people look like outside the gym?
Everyone at the gym is dressed pretty much the same: shorts, t-shirt, running shoes (or something). When I’m bored at the gym, I try to guess what people look like outside the gym, when they go to work, or go out at night. You gotta figure that when there are 50 people at the gym, someone there is an accountant, a firefighter, a bus driver, the Purolator guy, etc. But everyone looks the same at the gym (except me, I always look better than everyone else). So its always shocking to see people out of the gym in their everyday clothes, with their hair done properly, and sans sweat. This may be what makes gym culture so different from everywhere else.

I thought I was the only one who wondered about my fellow gym rats! And of course, whenever I run into someone outside the gym, it’s on a day when I’ve dashed to the store without makeup and hair in a messy bun . . .

So this is how the old “gym guy nickname” started. I wonder what you would assume I was, and what name you would tag me with, if I had shown up in your gym on night?
