So i had a pretty, pretty weird experience at the gym yesterday. After a swim i decided to have a bit of a relax in the steam room. Nothing weird about that...until a woman came in...wearing gloves!!! What the...?! At first glance that was strange as it's about 50 degrees, however i soon realised they were exfoliating gloves that girls (and some boys-sam) use in the shower to scrub themselves to cleanse the skin and remove dead skin cells. So i thought she must've just had a shower and left them on...that was until she started rubbing her hands together creating a soapy lather...and preceded to start scrubbing herself down, basically having a good ol wash in the steam room!!!?! What ARE you doing, that is DISGUSTING!!! Did she not realise she was in a COMMUNAL steam room?! Yuk. So, this morning we were talking about gym etiquette and the things you should just NEVER do at the gym. Here were the top 5 of your texts...

 1) NEVER come and try and make a conversation when your on the treadmill (gym staff especially!) when breathing is an ordeal let alone speaking! Emma.

 2) NEVER read whilst swimming. I once saw a girl in the swimming pool walking up and down reading a book. The swimmers just had to get out her way as she couldn't see where she was going! Jo, Breaston.

 3) NEVER empty a bottle of perfume/aftershave on yourself then go on treadmill. Chokes the serious gym person next to u :-) Krista from Leicester x

 4) NEVER wear very low cut clothes esp if u're really busty. It's so annoying 'cos they keep trying 2 pull it up when it's all almost falling out during spinning.

 5) NEVER pose in front of the mirros men! Flexing your muscles or even worse taking your top off. No-one's impressed!! Hannah, Spondon
