Man sweats too much, gets banned from gym

Most of us go to the gym to work up a sweat, but when ironically named Andy Heatman visited his regular UK gym, he got banned for sweating too much.

Chesire Lines Health Club staff claim that 15 people complained about Heatman's personal hygiene, leading them to ban Heatman from the gym on his next visit. So he took his business down the street to Total Fitness, where he was assured sweating was encouraged.

Heatman works out for two hours at a time, four days a week, so of course he's going to sweat (he also claims he showers regularly, uses deodorant, etc.). I understand it's not always pleasant to see someone sweating profusely, but come on ... isn't that what gyms are for?

What do you think -- was Heatman treated fairly or should he have been left alone to work out in peace?

I have no problem with someone sweating profusely. You're right - that's the reason you are there. I do have problem with people that leave the equipment wet with their sweat. That's Just Nasty.

15 people complained. That's a big number and reminds me of a saying my mother has:

1 person calls you a horse. Don't worry.
2 people call you a horse. Don't worry.
3 people call you a horse. Maybe you should get fitted for a saddle.

I use the gym 2 hours at a time myself, I sweat heavily, I also bring 2 extra small towels with me to wipe, and I do make sure I have the equipment clean before I leave. And yes that is what the gym's are for to work out. Not to putz,talk on the phone.
