People Watching…ME?
Ok, so you know how I wrote a post about the fact that I engage in people watching at the gym when I’m doing my cardio? And I make up little nicknames for them cause it’s really boring to be on a treadmill for 40 minutes? Well, it got me thinking…What are people calling me?
I think my nickname might have changed depending upon the bodybuilding competition I was training for. Here are my guesses for what others have called me:
- Sweatshirt Girl (Daniel made me wear a sweatshirt everyday training for my first show because he said I didn’t sweat enough)
400 lunges a day – yes! - Crazy Lunge Woman (As part of Operation Ass Lift for show #2 Daniel made me do 400 lunges a day with a 50 lb. bar on my back. That got me noticed!)
- The Bikini Chick (I had to practice my bikini poses so I tried to do them at 5 a.m. when only a few fellow gym rats were around. But sometimes the Group X room wasn’t available until 6:30 a.m. and on those days I had a bit of an audience. The manager made me put a towel on. (For Real – read here: Hey, Put a Towel on Lady!)
Strike a Pose… just not while anyone is looking
- Stair Master Text Book Reader (***If you are my trainer, please don’t read this*** Currently, I have to multitask so I study my personal trainer textbook while on the Stair Master. I am aware that I should not be doing this…especially since I’m going to be a personal trainer telling you not to do this… )
I can only imagine the other names people have for me. Let’s hope they’re nice ones at least! (If you workout at my gym – I’ll tell you my nickname for you if you tell me your nickname for me.)
What do you think YOUR nickname is?

Called many things, but BBB…BigBadBaz
🙂
Girl who looks like a beet root whenever she runs! Lol! My trainer has called me a pocket rocket since I am so short (5ft,1).
I love that!
Umm…I called you sweatshirt girl…I just figured you were hiding your fabulous transformation. Now I call you Lisa the blog girl to others who might not know you. But it’s better than the girl we refer to as Tutti-Frutti…don’t ask 🙂
Alright give it up.
Sweet! I called you Skinny Tan Girl and put you in the category of “Elite Gym Rats” – LOL! I remember the first time you spoke to me I was so excited I told Henri, “The Gym Rats are talking to me now!! I’ve moved up in the world!” 🙂 OK – You tell me who Tutti-Frutti is and I’ll tell you who What’s In Your Wallet is.
But don’t tell me over the blog. I’ll see you at the gym!
Lol! You got it!
I’m girl that lives in the gym. No really, I’ve had members ask me if I had an apartment out back. And the running lady since I lead up the running program. I don’t even want to think about what my clients call me behind my back.
That’s so funny. I used to say that my trainer lived at the gym, slept on a treadmill and used a 50 lb weight as a pillow.
Why do you think there’s a yoga mat in my locker?
