I would like to say something for the members of my gym, on their behalf and for their information. I understand that sweat isn't the best smelling odor and that body odor is a common side effect of a hard workout. I know I suffer from it. But, I must say there are a couple of things someone can do in order to stifle some of the offensive smells coming off of one's body.
a) please brush your teeth before you come to the gym first thing in the morning. I know it's first thing in the morning, and you want to eat breakfast before you come to the gym, but for the love of God, please brush your teeth. I just walk by people huffing and puffing and I get a huge whiff of bad breath. And not just one.
b) please do not pass gas when you know you are surrounded by dozens of people. I was on a bike the other day in class, and someone in front of me passed some serious gas. Of course, I can't get off the bike to run around, so I have to suffer through it. I mean, please. We're working hard--again with the huffing and puffing--and I have to inhale the stench, several times over.
It's just a common courtesy to keep some of your smells to yourself. Even if the B.O. is unavoidable.
