When Working Out With Colleagues 4/3/2018

Anybody been to one of those annoying "team-building" work trips or perhaps your line of work forces you to travel around the country or world with "work buddies" well have you noticed if the hotel happens to have a gym its quite often the place where colleagues get together?
Well haha that is unless your hotel doesn't happen to have a bar.

If you also so happen to go with a colleague who is fitness fanatic they can became obsessive when it comes to the gym's rules, don’t dust your palms with chalk before deadlifts, they say and etc, breaking any of these rules is likely to create a tension between you and your colleagues.

I remember when I had to for a work trip with 3 other guys one was a moron "sorry but true" oh and he was also one of those know it all type's of people.
He obviously claimed to be a gym expert and to be fair on the guy at the time atleast he did look like he was working out but these days the guy as got really fat.
Why? Well he got himself with a lady and pretty soon after that he stopped bothering, not sure why so many people do this you shouldn't stop training or keeping fit or whatever goals you have in life because of someone else, its not written down in the magical rule book that everybody picks from, find a partner lose all ambitions...

Anyway this guy was a right pain when he came to the gym with us, literally telling everybody how they should do everything, for how long, what position etc etc.
In all honesty he pissed everybody off.

So tread carefully a business trip is mostly all about networking, like at work perhaps the water cooler is an ideal place to let off some steam and a chat, but at the gym with colleagues we want to stay focused get that energy boost to hit the next set not so this dude can wonder whether Chris in sales still lives with his mom or not...

He was also posturing admiring hes so called abs, he got hes phone out and was taking mirror selfies infront of everybody in the gym, he brought hes music infact so did the others I was the only one who didn't.
But at one point he became so lost in the music that he burst into a dance halfway through a workout and started singing loudly Eye Of The Tiger, yes its a great song dont get me wrong but really..


Eye Of the Tiger



Lyrics Song From Eye Of the Tiger


He was pushing people out of their comfort zone, they at one point had enough and complained the workout was too difficult, so instead of backing away he would then show them how its done and he done this by grunting loudly or looking like hes about to have a heart attack I am sure this won’t raise him any office cred.

I remember later we discovered that the CEO was also staying in the same hotel, most would avoid shaming the CEO on the bench press giving him unsolicited ball slam advice on the mat or outdoing him on the dumbbells, maybe not so bad you think but he gave himself an injury when trying to prove the CEO wrong.
Guess who had to listen to him whine about hes injury over and over...

Everyone in the gym is here to forget about work but nope this guy thought it would be a good idea to take a business call and subject others to what you would have to imagine to be just a "fun spirited" office banter well he was mostly trying to shame people.

The gym its your time, and you’re there to better yourself, perhaps tone up, shed some excess, to feel fit, many would say this is the part where this type of work is purely on yourself.

I enjoy telling people this story and have mentioned in before on Steemit not in such details but this probably wont be the last time I will make a post on this story.
